Episode 5
Anabelle
We arrived a little late, due to the fact that our flight was delayed a bit. We walked to the hotel, which looked quite expensive and luxurious I must say. I stare at the design of the place and how colorful it was and I smiled. I guess I'll have a little bit of fun in Russia, I thought to myself.
I walked with my team of three, including me, making us four, as we arrived at our suite which had two rooms in it. Thankfully I and Ann would be in one bedroom and the two make chefs would be in the other.
We walked in and gasped as we stare at the enormous bedroom in front of us. These people had to be very rich, I mean extremely rich. I stare at everywhere and took a few pictures which I sent to mom and Liam.
They had called me a few minutes ago to check if I had arrived safely, I'm glad that Liam didn't sound down at all, he sounded happy and didn't forget to remind me that he wanted to see me back home soon.
Okay, I think we should all freshen up before we dive into our purpose of being here, I informed the rest before we went out a different direction. I took my bath, after which Ann followed suit before we decided to talk a small nap.

When I woke up, I felt strong and light-headed after the stress of the flight. I found Ann making a call as she explained that she was fine and everyone was okay too.
I walked to the bathroom, and splash water on my face, before returning back to the bedroom, to meet her sitting and doing nothing.
"Now that we're agile, I think we should get ourselves familiar with their kind of food and perfect in preparing them, call the others so we can move to the kitchen together," I told her as we both dressed up properly.

"I apologize to you all that I arrived late, things are just so much on my plate," the man whose name was Yuri apologized as he arrived staring at us. He had blonde hair and dark lashes which were long at the same time, making him have this cure and beautiful look.
I couldn't help but notice his features as he spoke to us.
This way please, for the bride, she wanted something special for her Italian dish and she had chosen "Risotto" he said and I nodded my head following, while Ann pen down everything.
"I see, so the bride is Italian and the groom is Russia?" And he nodded with a bit of a smile on his face.
"Good thing you are following, I hope it wouldn't be much of a task to you all", he notion to me and I shook my head at him.
"Thanks for trusting our services, we do highly appreciate and taken care of our expenses, we promise to do the best and make them have the best taste of dishes on that day," I told him confidently when ch I'd course was true, that y the only way I could show how appreciative I was and I was going to do that.
" Oh, that, you should not worry about that, actually the groom aunt made the recommendation to us, according to her you did a rush-hour birthday party for her son and it came out beautiful," he say as we arrived at the kitchen where we were supposed to work.
"Oh, please send my greetings to her, and concerning the groom does he have any special dish he wants," I asked him.
"Sure, you could meet him and ask him now, there he is with his bride," he said and pointed to a direction in front of me.
I instantly turned my head and followed the direction he pointed at, to see a very beautiful lady with long hair standing beside a well-built guy, but only his back faces us as he was saying something to her.
Come on, let's go he said and we followed his lead and walked further to the kitchen, but before we could get close enough he received a phone call and left from where he was standing. But then I didn't know why I suddenly feel anxious and restless.
"Good evening milady, these are the caterers and they would be taking care of the dish you requested," he spoke to her and left us telling us to start with our cooking.
"Hi, ma'am, congratulations and it's nice to meet you," I started staring at this woman whom I feel intimated by, she had this aura, like this powerful aura around her that I couldn't explain.
"Nice to meet you, please make sure I do enjoy the "Risotto," she said smiling before walking away leaving me stunned.
"Alright, get the chicken brithy, mushrooms, olive oil, arborio rice, and every ingredient we need ti make this dish," I instructed as I pull my sleeve up and dive into what I loved doing the mist cooking.
Dimitri
It was pointless, I tried having conversations with my newly wife to be, but it all falls into nothing, she either nods only her head or replied in a monotone. Well apparently mom had made me do it and I had no choice but to do what makes her happy. I didn't disagree with the fact that she was beautiful but then, she didn't make my heart race or made me look at her differently.
"All I wanted right now, was to get over with this marriage and get back to my normal life, but the only difference right now is I'm married," causing me to sigh.
I heard a knock on my door, and before i could say anything, Yuri walked in with a smile on his face. Yes, I noticed that, since he went to meet with the caterers his mood was slightly different and he looked happy...
"Ermm, I thought it would be okay you speak with Ana about your special dish, she's being asking and since you didn't inform me, I brought her here," he said scratching the back of his neck, which isn't something I see every day.
"Fine, she can walk in, since you already decided without briefing me," I said and turn around going to grab a bottle of wine.
Come in, I heard him mutter as I opened the bottle of wine.
"Good evening sir, I'm Anabelle and I'll like to discuss your special dish," she said when the bottle of wine fell from my hands and shattered on the floor with a loud thud.
"No, that voice, so familiar, it can't be, that's not possible," I kept screaming in my head when I slowly turned around and my eyes landed on the woman who looked frightened and shocked at the same time causing my heart to beat faster than ever.
"Anabelle," the name escaped my lips...
Episode 6AnabelleI couldn't explain why I feel nervous and restless standing in front of him again. We were the only ones in the room since Yuri had received a call and wanted to deal with it quickly, so I decided to say something until I heard the shattering of glassDimitri"Anabelle," I called in shock when Yuri banged the door and rushed to Annabelle to check if she was okay. His hands wrapped around her waist in a protective manner making me pissed out. It took him a while to realize that she wasn't the one in pain but I was the one, making me roll my eyes."Boss, are you okay," he questioned pushing the broken glass away from me with his legs when his phone suddenly rang."Fire, what?, how?," those were the words that came out of his mouth the instant he picked up the call. I looked at him wondering what it was and why he had made mention of fire."Boss, one of the warehouses was burnt down and we have no traces of how the fire began, I need to go see things for myself," he w
Episode 7WriterDimitri paced around the place in anger, one of his many brothels has been destroyed, not just any brothels but the one which was most popular. After Anabelle had left, he received a call from Yuri informing him about the situation at hand, to say he was pissed would be the wrong choice of word to use. He was mad at the news, that he started to destroy things around him, in a fit to contain his anger. "Where is he?" His father screamed angrily as he barged into his son's office to find out everything was a mess. He looked at him in anger as he rushed and grabbed his shirt holding it tightly as his hands turned into a fist ready to throw a punch at someone."You are making a mess here, when you are supposed to be fixing this, huh?" He screamed at him, as he threw him against the wall."And this mess just surprisingly had to happen immediately you brought in my Italian bride Mr. Vladamir," Dimitri said angrily as he arranged his shirt staring at his father in fury."Sh
Episode 8AnabelleI opened my eyes, to find myself in a strange room. I looked around and I was laying on a king sized bed, in a big room. I couldn't tell how long it was I slept or probably passed out. But I knew it was long enough for the others to have gotten to their family.Right now, the only thing important to me was to meet my son. How is Liam?, Would He be fine? Would I see him ever again?, Those were the thought that ran through my head right now. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't either comprehend why all this are happening. I tried to get off the bed, only to realize my hands were tied against the headboard. I struggled to free myself but it felt impossible as none of it was working. I looked around, trying to see if I could get anything that might help free me, but all to no avail. "Help," I called out, In a hoarse voice, as a result of my screaming and shouting. I need to get out of here, and most importantly I need to find a way to escape. I just have to, for
Episode 9Writer"What is it mother, you know I have some business to deal with," Dimitri said looking at his watch, for started he know how his mother can be, and meanwhile he had this nagging feeling that she was about to ask them to do something, he didn't want to do."Well, I know you both, haven't had the opportunity to get to know yourself well, so I was wondering if you both can go out on a date and just spend time together alone," she dropped the bomb, and Mia sighed in relief, while Dimitri looked displeased with the idea."Dimitri, I know that look, and don't try to stand her up, make sure you're there to spend them with Mia, do I make myself clear," she hushed while he gave her a tight smile."Crystal clear mother, I will see you later," he said and kissed her cheeks before leaving their presence like he was in some kind of hurry.Mia left, with her bodyguard following her closely. She didn't know why she gets pissed anytime she finds his presence close to her."What troubl
Episode 10WriterWhy can't you just tell me who is he? He questioned her as he stare at her, with his eyes all red. He was trying so hard not to break in front of her. He couldn't let her know he was affected by any of this. He just wished he could rip the information out of her and get to the bottom of whom the anonymous Liam was, without going through the process of asking her or confirming who he was."Just go Dimitri, you and I know I won't say anything to you," she screamed out and pushed him away from her side. "Leave and let me dine with my pains alone, just let me be okay," she added, while he gave her one last glance before walking out of the doors and locking them with the key he had.DimitriThe next morningI woke up earlier than usual and I knew the fact was due to the nightmare I had from last night. I kept imagining stuff like Anabelle being married to this Liam and having babies together. The thought of that had almost made me puke, as I shook my head refusing to be
Episode 11WriterAnabelle woke up due to the rustling noise she heard, she opened her eyes, to find the maids, pulling her clothes away from the hangers and folding them into her suitcase. She sat upright unable to understand what was happening as she stared from her left to right in confusion."Hey, what's going on, why is my suitcase being packed, are we moving somewhere new, or are we going on a trip," I asked, but the maid only smiled at my question before answering me."Mr. Dimitri instructed us to get your bags packed, cause you're going back home," she said calmly while I stared at her with wide eyes, unable to believe my ears. I'm returning home, is this some kind of dream or probably a joke. Maybe I'm dreaming and I need to wake myself up, I told myself and slapped my face to bring myself back to consciousness only to discover I wasn't sleeping but fully awake."Oh gosh, I'm going to see Liam, my baby, I'll be going home to him soon right?" I asked myself smiling profusely a
Episode 12DimitriThis is impossible, I said in my office, as I stare at the photo once more. This child looks just like me, how's that even possible, I asked no one in particular, as I zoomed the picture to be clear I wasn't mistaken."We have reason to believe that she's hiding your son from you sir" I read the text once more, confused and anxious as to what to do. "How could that be? My child? Was she pregnant and didn't tell me about it?" All these questions flooded my head, and I was unable to wrap my head around anything that could explain what was happening apparently."Keep an eye on her, and confirm it's her son" I texted back, before dropping my phone on the table in front of me and sighing heavily."Why do I just keep having more and more problems on my hands, it's like it doesn't want to end, " I thought and took a deep breath, before going out of my office in search of Mia.I got to her room, to find her bodyguard already started with cleaning up her wound when I stood
Episode 13Writer"What are you talking about? Son? What son?" She tried to act dumb, but Dimitri could tell from the way she fidgeted and behave."Don't you dare play the dumb game with me, Annabelle? How could you hide such an important thing from me?" He retorted clearly angry, as he took a deep breath staring at her."Can I see my son, please?" she said rather ignoring the question he asked. To her the only important thing was Liam being fine, she cared less about him knowing the truth even if she didn't want him to. But a part of her knew it was bound to happen soon and Liam was also going to know he has a father."Seriously, you're choosing to ignore me, is that how you want to deal with this, just ignore me" he stated again, but she didn't say anything as she continued to cry in front of him."Please Dimitri, don't hurt him. I know you want me, Just let him go and have me stay here. Liam doesn't need to be a part of your evil skim" she poured out, while he pushed his hair backw
