chapter 274
after a perfect night’s sleep, the night she’d long dreamed of, Elena finally opened her eyes to find that Finn had already got ready. she’d got up very quickly and run to the shower because she couldn’t understand why he hadn’t woken her up at all. she didn’t take long enough and when she came out, it was as if he was waiting for her, and she understood perfectly that it was because she’d been late and it was all his fault. She’d been the most tired the night before and had hoped he’d wake her up, but he’d decided to go and get ready on his own. She started to rummage through her suitcase, looking for something she could wear, when Finn picked her up and put her in front of him. He was annoyed and she didn’t blame him. An appointment on time was an appointment on time, but if only he’d woken her up when he’d got up too, it would have made things easier for them, so nothing was his fault at the moment. Finn put two fingers under her chin and lifted her head, then melted his lips, and even though she loved moments like these, this was no time at all to indulge in this kind of game as they were expected.
-Finn, we’re going to be late, please let’s go.
-We won’t be late, but I’ll be late, and even if I am, I don’t think anyone will mind my being late, so don’t worry. There are men looking after you, and I’ve left you my blue card, so if you decide to go out until I get back, please don’t forget to find something for Vlad.
-But… you told me I’d come with you Finn, what’s going on now? I want to come with you please. Please don’t say no Finn.
-No, you can’t come with me, even though I wanted you on my arm too, my darling, you see. The man who also wants the same business has been checking up on me, and even though I’ve made sure so far that he can’t find out anything about me, it still doesn’t reassure me, and I know how savage a mafioso can be. I don’t want you to be in danger under any circumstances, because I won’t tolerate anything happening to you, so I’ll go on my own and you can enjoy the day. We won’t necessarily have to go back after we’ve finished, but we can go back two days later.
She had thought she was finally going to be good for something, because apart from being his submissive, she had also liked to take her job as his personal assistant seriously, but she didn’t blame him under the circumstances, because there was no way she was going to abandon Vlad like her parents had done. this little being needed her and she was going to be there for him as he deserved. she went back to her suitcase to get a pair of jeans which she slipped on. she had planned an outfit like this because she couldn’t see herself strolling around town in a suit like dele was running after her eternal boss.
Sitting at this table for a while, Dimitri was at his wits’ end. He’d been asking his men to take the head of this company hostage for a while now, because even though he knew that no one would dare play with his balls for fear of getting burned, he had the feeling that the man had made a fool of him and that no one was going to come. Already half an hour late, he couldn’t think of any serious businessman who would do such a thing; taking all his time to stay at home when he had a deal to conclude, further proof that this company should be sold to him and not to his potential buyer who was making a mockery of everyone, even the salesman. He still had five minutes before he could finally start with the torture, and he hoped this little man would be able to put up with it too, because he was sure he’d get a kick out of it. After five minutes, he finally got up to start his merry-go-round, when the office door opened and he saw a tall man just like him, and to be honest, a potential rival.
-Russia’s little angel, what are you doing here Finn Martinov? what are you doing here.
-the demon of all Russia, Dimitri Savoski, I’m here because I’m finally going to be able to close the deal for the sale of this company and it will be mine afterwards. i thought you understood but i realize i was wrong. your search has come to nothing or what? because that’s the impression you’re giving me right now. that you’ve searched in vain. before you start with your barbaric tortures, let this man sign the deal first and it will be yours afterwards.
the man in question hiccupped as he’d thought that Finn’s presence had saved him, but now he realized that it hadn’t, and that he was going to die for God’s sake. his blood was no longer icy, but frozen. a duel of glances had ensued between the two men, and he too was afraid of what might follow. after all, he’d never witnessed a scene like this before. two super giants from Russia, and already the Russians were all psychopaths.
-Do you know that I can put a bullet in your head, Martinov? for all the times you’ve laughed at me?
-I don’t know what I’ve done, Savoski, and what’s more, I’m not one of your enemies that you’re taking the trouble to sodomize with Base Ball bates. We’re not here on your territory, and if you want, you can witness this signature, after all, you’re my Russian brother.
Dimitri huffed, wondering what was stopping him from putting a real bullet in his head, but of course he knew full well what was stopping him. He didn’t want to bring the whole of Russia to its knees by killing one of the super giants who was the only one with a legal business in the whole country, and yet, apart from the legal businesses that helped him launder his money, he had more illegal businesses dominating. He knew he’d been laughed at, and until then he didn’t know who had the guts to do it.
After the mobster’s exit, Finn had quickly asked the man in front of him if he was going to ben. he’d gone white as if the Savoski man holding him was sucking his blood and it was always that effect that mobster had on people. leaving them to die in their own panic. he wasn’t a saint either, but he’d rather finish off the traitor than waste his time torturing him. having signed everything off as planned, he was now the sole head of this Cuban company, but he’d also hired this man, since after searching through his life, he’d seen no record of the latter. he therefore thought he was trustworthy. he then went outside and huffed when he saw Dimitri. he’d thought he’d left. he headed for his vehicle, but Dimitri had seen him and called him.
-I’ve already told you I don’t want to know anything about your business, and you remember that, don’t you?
-And I’m not here to talk to you about my business, Marinov, but I want to know who Richard is for you. Of the two of you, who had the courage to make fun of me?
-You who sent me a sister who lived all that time in Bolivia and came back simply because you had the idea of concluding a peace treaty by marrying her off to me, you tell me more? You know perfectly well that the whole Savoski line has always had only one child, so can I know where this sister who was ready to sacrifice herself for her beloved brother came from? I think that with this behavior, you’ve lowered your self-esteem as a loyal mafioso, and I don’t mean to insult you, but you could have taken another woman to do this kind of thing and not one like her who’s been screwed by every male in the world.
-I’ll give you that, but what about you? What did you do with Richard about me?
-I don’t know where you got that idea, but you should know that attacking you the way I did was Richard’s idea, and that’s not to say I’m a man without balls, far from it.
Dimitri now seemed to understand, because if Finn had attacked him to retaliate, then it was Richard who had set the whole thing up by asking him to encroach on his territory, because he knew he’d later ask Finn to do the same. He couldn’t believe the son of a bitch had been so biased against them all this time. When he wanted to ask Finn something else, Finn’s phone started ringing and when he picked it up, he saw his face change. He didn’t know why, but it seemed to be something urgent.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
-But where are you going, Finn? We haven’t finished talking yet, and I think we’ve got enough to talk about.
-For another time, Dimitri, because I don’t think I’ll be spending more than five minutes here. My son’s in trouble and he’ll have to go back to Russia.
His son? Finn didn’t understand who this son was at all, and besides, he hadn’t married Virginia and they were known as the two hardened bachelors of all Russia.
Driving to their hotel, Finn hurried upstairs to see if Elena was there, having given instructions to his pilot to make sure that everything was in place for their take-off as soon as possible.
-You come back looking rather strange, Finn. Didn’t it turn out the way you wanted?
-We’ll be right back, Elena. I know I had you here for two more days, but we can’t stay because your crazy cousin scared Vlad again by knocking on my door and shouting threats. The little boy’s about to pee his pants and Gina tells me she’s having trouble calming him down. He could have a panic attack and that’s not good for his age, you know?
Elena simply nodded and Finn helped her carry her things. She wondered when Paolo would finally pull himself together, because with his attitude, he was becoming unbearable. He didn’t want to understand that the only reason she’d kept Vlad away from him was to protect Vlad. he was too stupid to know, and Betty’s girlfriend didn’t want to know either, as long as she had money. The two of them were getting seriously into it and she might be the first to lodge a complaint against them but she was afraid that by doing so, Vlad’s custody would be taken away from her and she was also afraid that Vlad would be placed in a foster home since she wasn’t married and this life plan was also influencing.
