LOGINAuthor's POV:"Have we arrived?"Grusha asked when Damien pulled the car over."No, wait in the car. Let me get something real quick."Damien said as he stepped out of the car and ran toward the shops they'd driven past. The place the car was parked and the shops were not too far away so Grusha could still see the figure of Damien clearly on the side mirror. A sudden smile tugged at her lips remembering the care and worry those ocean eyes were carrying when he saw her in pain earlier. The way his eyes softened when he saw her, the way he secured her in his arms, the way his hand rose to cup her cheeks involuntary, the way his thumb brushed gently against her skin-every little action spoke words that he never did. And she heard them loud and clear. She also knew she was slowly growing greedy for these little gestures-for the way they made her feel, for the way she was being pampered-but she couldn't hold herself back.She saw Damien coming back to the car while holding something in his
Author's POV:"How's the task I assigned you last time coming along?""I did find somethings that might give us a few leads. Let me get it for you ma'am."David said before hurriedly leaving the office to get something from his desk."These are the records of all the employees who resigned during last three years."David said, placing a black file on the desk as Grusha averted her eyes after signing the last document."And this has all the financial records."David said placing a USB drive on top of the black file."How did you find these?"Grusha said while taking the USB drive to her hand."I asked the HR department and the logistic department ma'am.""Are they reliable? I mean, I'm sure Marco still has a few rats hidden in the company. Whatever we do, we should not alert them.""They must be ma'am. After all Mr. Damien appointed them himself after thoroughly interviewing.""Okay David, thank you for taking care of things in my absence. Also I really appreciate your help with everyt
Author's POV:"Very good evening ma'am. I am really sorry for disturbing you during your day off."Said David while trailing behind Grusha attentively.The office floor was half lit except for hallways which offered ample light for someone who knows the place to find their way around."Good evening David, sorry for keeping you after work."Grusha said while offering a polite nod to the last few employees who took few seconds to greet her amidst their rush to get home."No problem ma'am this is what I should do. And also it's just 10 minute walk from here to my place.""Really? Where do you live David?""I am originally from Bellisar which is on the outskirt of Corvella. But now I reside in staff quarters."Both Velith, where they live now, and Corvella are in the same state, though at far ends from each other. It would take at least 10 hours if one were to travel between two cities."It's quite a trek, isn't it? How are the amenities for the staff quarters? If you have any inconvenienc
Author’s POV: "I wonder who made my sweetheart this angry."Grusha was startled at the sudden voice since she thought that she was all alone in the basement. But her startle didn't last long since she recognized the owner of the voice swiftly.'Where did he come from? Has he got cat paws or something?'Grusha turned around while thinking, to meet his eyes which were getting closer and closer with each breath she took. They haven't seen each other since the day before yesterday and a lot of major things have happened in that short time. They were trying so hard to hide things thinking that the other person has not noticed anything at all which in the end was an attempt that they both failed terribly.Damien kept taking steps towards her reducing the distance they had but what he didn't realize was that their hearts kept drifting further and further apart. He circled around Grusha before settling down on a bench nearby while pulling her into his arms. Grusha was bit taken back by his s
Flashback“Capo, i nostri camion sono stati fermati a metà strada da un gruppo di persone. È difficile identificarli. Hanno anche ucciso due dei nostri uomini. Dai i tuoi ordini, capo.”(Boss our trucks were stopped midway by a group of people. It is hard to identify them. They also killed two of our men. Give out your orders boss.)I sprang out of my chair and immediately ordered my men to send reinforcement. This batch of goods were supposed to ship this morning and if I were to lose the deal I would never be able secure another one. But the question was who even was this daring to intervene in my business. Though several names appeared in my mind the only person who would be daring enough to do so would be a coward like Marco.No, no, no, this could be a trap.“Luca, recati da Grusha e sorvegliala.”(Luca go over to Grusha's company and watch her over.)I can't risk anything at the moment. While Luca left for Grusha's company I left to the warehouse. When I reached there everything
Damien's POV:After dealing with those guys I let my men lock them up for further interrogations. My mind was still in shock after hearing what they uttered. I was not ready for this nor did I see this coming. How could it be? Does that mean Aina, my angel is still alive? Or is it someone with the same name? If she is truly my angel why she has that surname? How did she become a Pavlov? How is she alive?My mind was bombarded with so many unanswered questions and strangely my heart became heavier and heavier the more I thought about it. The only thing I knew was, before I do anything else I had to dig deep into this and find out the truth about this matter.I snatched the car keys and drove home before my mind explodes from all these questions. After arriving home instead of going to the bedroom I went straight to the bar in order to drown down all these emotions before they drown me.With each drink I took my heart burnt as hell but it was not enough to ease the pain that I was feelin
