The day Vasili has been waiting for has come. The day Amelia is expected to wake up. Standing at the side with Larry, Vasili stares at Amelia's sleeping face. His chest is seeming to burst from the thundering of his heart. Not understanding what he feels, he constantly massages his nape and inhales deeply. All the other Petrovs are outside waiting. They are giving Vasili the privacy to see his wife wake up after the period of coma. Leaving only Larry to be by his side for whatever outcome.However, they were all prepared. The Petrov and all their men were on guard. Amelia's recovery will determine the fate of the underworld. Once she won't wake up, war will knock on every door of those who took part in the evil plot to eliminate her. Though Vasili has started there are more. "CEO Wright?" the doctor softly asks. All her doctors and medical staff are on standby for the inevitable. "Yes" for the first time, he was insecure and shaky.With the go signal, the doctor administers the re
Before mister sun appears on the horizon, Vasili is already awake and staring at his wife, sleeping beside him. Yesterday, he brought Amelia back home. And though she remains to be sedentary, he was satisfied she is home after another two weeks in the facility. Staring at her beautiful face, a smile carves his lips. He still can't believe he has Amelia by his side now. For more than a month, their bed has been empty of her warmth. And today is the first morning they wake up in their bedroom again.During her unconsciousness, it's been a struggle to evade the demon inside his head but he succeeded. His patience did not wear off until she woke up. Seeming to have felt she was being watched, she started to stir. Stirring from sleep, Amelia slowly move her head before her eyes opened."Good morning, Amelia" with a tender smile he greeted her before placing a gentle kiss on her lips. Though he got no reaction but a blank stare, he continues to smile at her. "We will have a bath then w
"Someone is sabotaging us" the man grimly mutters. "Has any of the Petrov been moving against us?" someone from the group suspiciously asks. "If they are not, then who could know of all those transactions? They are the only people who have the capability and they are playing with us""Authorities are on a rampage in seizing all shipments this past week. We are losing millions! This can't go on or all of us will be in the drain!" "Indeed we will all be doomed if the Petrovs has something to do with what's happening lately""We cannot afford another failure. The incoming one is our biggest, it should not be compromised""It won't. The Petrovs won't touch us"" How sure are you?""I just know" a smirk carves the old man's lips."Cornell is here" a man interrupted the discussion before a group of fierce-looking men enters the den."At last, you're here" the old man sharply looks at the newly arrived group. Despite the man's obvious irritation, he didn't respond. He took his seat and
"Vasily, we need your help" The peaceful morning discussion between Vasili and Larry was disturbed after Sophia unceremoniously barged inside his office. "I'm so sorry, CEO Wright. She just came barging inside" one of the secretaries following behind apologized for the sudden interference. "I don't need a fucking appointment!" triggered by the remark, she angrily snaps at Vasili's secretary."It's fine Michael. You can leave" Vasili calmly dismisses the man while his eyes were set on the visitor. "Vasili, you need to help us. Have you watched the news? Dad was arrested early this morning" Sophia anxiously raves."Yes, I've seen it in the news earlier" calmly, he responded."And you didn't do anything? I've been calling you but for the reason, I cannot understand, I cannot get through to you. It's my dad, Vasili! You should help him" oblivious of her raised voice, she frets.Unaffected by her outburst, Vasili and Larry just watch her pace the floor."Those authorities will pay for
After the ear-piercing shot, a thud of the body dropping to the floor followed."Argh..." a pained whimper fills the eerie silence before the door bursts open."CEO Wright" security swarmed inside. Though the office is soundproof, a gunshot was faintly heard outside. Glancing at the woman on the floor, security moved closer to Vasili. One of them picks up the gun that slipped from Sophia's hand after her shoulder was hit by Vasili's blade.Grasping her injured shoulder, Sophia looks at Vasili in pure disbelief. "You, bastard!" she growls despite grimacing from the pain. "Your mouth is faster than your bullet" Vasili spoke after he stands up from his chair. If he was immensely calm earlier he was in contrast now. His chilling-cold gaze bore on her while he slowly walks onto her spot. "No one had pointed a gun on my face and lives. But I will make an exception for you. Anyways, as you said, we've been friends" he casually added."I will kill you if I have a chance" she smirks, to whi
Peaceful. Everything is peaceful. It's been a week after Mark Saunters was arrested and Sophia almost shot Vasili in his office. And the previous days were somewhat uneventful. After leaving the estate the day he brought Sophia to have a look at Amelia, he brought her to the facility. She was treated just enough to watch her father's fate inside the prison. She was detained in a room with a huge tv. The footage inside the prison was played all day long with its clear audio. She watched and heard how her father howls in pain with the torture he received. She watched his father together with their cohorts slowly losing their life. She howls her grief and pain. And like music to his ears Vasili enjoys them. It's a three-day misery for them until they become too weak to even open their eyes, including Sophia. With a wound and nothing to eat and drink, she quickly deteriorated. It's a painful death and it appeased the dark fury deep inside him. On the last day, he visited her to glo
Dumbfounded, he stares at Amelia for a long moment. His brain seems to have abandoned him while their gazes lock.She has her usual blank expression but the fact she talks surprised him.Dashing to her side still holding the jar, he cups her face. Unbothered by the tears messing his face."You can talk" he whispers in disbelief. "It's... not...your...fault" she repeated though she struggles with every word. Her index is pointing at the jar he was holding.Fresh tears fill his eyes upon hearing her speak again but he failed to have a full grasp of what it meant."You can talk, baby. You can talk" his sobs fills the quiet room while he hugs her. During the entire time, Amelia let him pour his emotions while hugging him back. Even she was surprised she had succeeded in uttering the words she strives to speak all this time. It's been a while since they've been hugging each other when Vasili slowly moves away. He wipes his tears with a bowed head before looking up to stare at her. "Ame
Manuel together with the medical team, helped Amelia get settled again. It's before dawn and still a long time till morning. She needs to go back to sleep again since her body is still recuperating.When they enter the room, they found her watching the door after Vasili left. Like always, her face is devoid of any expression. No one could guess what happened and no one would dare ask. Even Manuel. Whatever happens, they could just assume it's not a good one. The master leaving in the wee hours and Amelia holding the container with their undeveloped fetus is quite odd."Let's sleep again, Miss Amelia" her doctor softly tells her while she is too engrossed staring at the jar in her hands."I will return this to the shelf" after she got no indication from Amelia, she tries to get the jar from her."No!"Everyone was startled when she firmly exclaims. Eyes widen as they turn to look at her. Even Manuel was surprised."Young Mistress..." disbelief adorned the old man's face but a glint of
