Even though Trinity had expected the answer, she was still shocked.
"How? When?" She couldn't help but ask, thoroughly confused.
Samantha chuckled. "That day at the club opening. I'd planned to drug you all and have my way with Dmitri. Unfortunately, I got too drunk along with you guys and it wasn't until I woke up that I realized it was Tyler I'd dragged into bed with me and not Dmitri. And it was his child I'd be carrying," her lips pulled into a thin line at the admission before pulling up into an all too evil smirk. "But nothing was going to stop me from getting what I wanted. So I decided to improvise. Pretended the child was Dmitri's and you fell for it right away."
Trinity looked at her as if seeing her for the first time. And she was. She was finally seeing her for the two faced, conniving bitch that she was.
"Everything was going according to plan for you until I stepped
"You wanna go first, or should I?" The tattooed guy smirked at his companion, nodding his head at Trinity.His companion laughed, the scar running down the side of his face contracting, making him look almost maniacal. He probably was too if the way he stepped towards Trinity with an evil glint in his eyes was anything to go by.Tyler struggled harder against his reigns. "Don't you fucking dare touch her! I'll skin you alive if you touch a hair on her head!"Their kidnappers simply laughed at his useless attempts and baseless threats. Trinity, though, was oddly calm.She was waiting for either of them to open her bounds so she could grab the opportunity and try to get away from them. She planned on running upstairs and threatening Samantha so their kidnappers would let Tyler go. And then she'd call the police to come rescue them.It wasn't ex
Screams echoed all around him but Dmitri couldn't decipher one voice from another, nor did he care to, as he jumped at Samantha on instinct so she couldn't fire the weapon anymore.She screamed as she fell and Dmitri wasted no time in snatching the gun from her and throwing it away.It took him a moment to realise that he'd jumped on top of a pregnant woman but the guilt vanished as quickly as it had come when he heard his wife's pained groan.He then quickly got up before running towards a bleeding Trinity, pressing his hands to the wound on her side to stop the bleeding. With his other hand he pulled out his phone and called 911."Hang on, tight, Milaya. I'll get you out of here," Dmitri said to her once he was done calling for the ambulance.The two kidnappers Samantha's had hired tried to make a run for it especially now that Samantha lay on the floor, sobbing hysterically with blood pooli
It was the third day when the police came to take Trinity's statement.She told them everything that had happened truthfully while Dmitri sat there right next to her, all the while holding her hand to show his support. She squeezed his fingers once she was done and the policemen left, promising to put the culprits behind the bars as soon as possible."Are you okay?" Dmitri asked her, pushing a strand of her hair away from her face as he rubbed soothing circles on the palm of her hand."I'm fine," Trinity whispered back. "I'm glad that that statement is out of the way. I hope they can catch those kidnappers soon.""They will, milaya. I'll make sure of it," Dmitri vowed, his expression grim."I just want this all to be over already," Trinity admitted softly.Dmitri stared down at her, his expression softening almost instantly. "Me
9 years later..."Nico! Come on, dinner is ready," Trinity called out to her son as she set the table.Dmitri had returned home in time for dinner as usual and was helping his wife set the table as they waited for their oldest child to join them so they could start dinner.When there was no response, Trinity turned to Nico's twin. "Nadia, go get your brother."Nadia, ever the obedient bright little girl, rushed off to do as her mother had asked of her."Mum, I'm hungry, can I eat now?" Maxim, their five year old asked, his lips pulled into an adorable little pout."In a minute, Max. Your brother will be here in a minute and then we'll all eat together. And what did I tell you about a family that eats together?""A family that eats together, stays together!" Max suddenly grinned, seemingly proud of himself for remembering what his mother
Dimitri Stefanovich Kaverin sat on a stool facing his best friend slash co-worker, Tyler Moore, in a cheap bar drinking cheap beer and ranting on and on and on about how his mother was blackmailing him into marrying someone soon.From what Tyler had gathered from his best friend's angry rant was that Valéry, Dimitri's mother, a women he knew better than to mess with, was hounding him to marry someone for at least two months now.Though Dmitri, being the stubborn brat that he was, had paid no heed to his mother's requests and had continued to go about his life as he usually did.After two months of listening to his pathetic excuses for not wanting to marry, Valéry thought that she'd had enough. So the fiery red head went ahead and gave him an ultimatum.The ultimatum was that if Dmitri didn't marry a girl within the next two months, she would give the whole company away to charity- charity!- a
Tyler took one look at his best friend's face and he knew that Dimitri had found a solution to his problem. That determined gleam in his eyes and that erect posture was proof enough for him.Tyler had known his friend long enough to know that expression, seven years was quite a long time after all."So, what's the plan?" Tyler asked as he watched his friend scanning the crowd around them with hawk like eyes."A year long contract marriage." Dimitri replied, turning to look at his friend with a small grin.Tyler nodded once. "What about Samantha? I thought you wanted to marry her? And why a year? Why not six months?" He couldn't help but ask."Its a contract marriage, so I don't think Samantha will have a problem with that and I'm going to marry her once the year is over anyway. It'd be best if its for a year 'cause that'd convince my mum that I was serious about the marriage and I did try to w
"I want you to marry me."It wasn't a question, it wasn't a request, it was an order. But there was just something about the way Dimitri said it that didn't make it look like he was demanding something from her, but then again, it wasn't as if he had asked her if she wanted to marry him.Trinity couldn't quite decide how to react to it. It wasn't everyday that people, strangers, come to her and tell her that they want to marry her and hot as hell strangers none the less.She regarded him thoughtfully for a moment. The first thought that crossed her mind was that he was joking but the look on his face said that he was very much serious about it.Dimitri stared back at her as she looked at him and he'd be lying if he said that he wasn't feeling nervous.God, Dimitri Kaverin was nervous!He had never in his life been nervous about anything, not even when he was
Dimitri lead them through the jungle, never once leaving her hand and turning around every once in a while to look at Trinity to make sure that she was fine. A gesture that made Trinity get this warm fuzzy feeling deep inside her belly.He cared about her. She didn't know why the thought was so exciting but she was having a hard time keeping that goofy grin off her face. She was practically bouncing with excitement and she couldn't have been more thankful that it was dark and he couldn't see her expression or he'd think she was mad.After a few minutes of walking in silence, Dimitri halted. Trinity peeked around him to see where they were and the only word she could say when her eyes landed on the scene in front of them was "Wow."Dimitri smiled down at her, "Come on." He tugged on her arm and dragged her along with him to the wooden log. He sat down, pulling her dazed state along with him.Trinity didn't even
