All Chapters of DAMSEL MEETS DANGER: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“What's happening now, Leonid?” Vladimir questioned as he returned to the room.Leonid, wanting him to see for himself, switched on the blank screen, and made a quick connection.A live play of Hedeon and the other guys in the car, on their way to the Greene villa came up.“Boss Hedeon, can you hear me?” he asked.“I can. Can you see us?”“Yes we can.”Vladimir watched attentively. Everything was still going smoothly, until it wasn't.A screeching sound had everyone sitting up. In a split second, rounds went off.“Andrei?” Vladimir called with his eyes focused intensely on the gun exchange going on, just as he had predicted would happen.“Yes boss?”“The commissioner will call soon. You'll answer.”Andrei nodded, and stepped out immediately to be on the lookout for the call.“Vlad, this could have all been avoided, you know?” His uncle, Boris Bratva said to him.Ignoring him, Vladimir, his index finger curved around his jaw, continued to watch the action unfold.Ten minutes of gun exc

“We meet again, Ms Greene,” Vladimir said giddily, as he walked into the lounge area together with Andrei.The look on the older woman's face as she spun around to face him, told him immediately that she didn't return his feelings.“Why am I here, Vladimir? Have you not won enough by taking my granddaughter from me?” She lambasted him.“Hold on now, Ms Greene. There are no winners or losers here. I thought you knew this already?”“No, I don't. I never did. I never will. The only thing that has been true is the stupid pact between your father and Ivy's father.”“You mean your son?”She shivered exaggeratedly. “unfortunately.”Vladimir and Andrei exchanged quick glances, both trying not to chuckle out in amusement.He remembered hearing one time about how much the Greene matriarch abhorred her own son. Seeing it on display at the moment was quite fascinating.“You're here now, Ms Greene.”“Again, unfortunately. Tell me why. And don't give me that bullshit reason about my granddaughter n

The truth was shocking, but Ivy slowly began to get over it.“What happened next?” She asked, finally lifting up her head to face her grandmother.Sheila breathed out, relieved she was engaging again.“Lots of things began to change, Princess. Ian was more open and honest. Made me see him for what he truly was. Made me see them all for what they truly were- monsters. They were all monsters that would stop at nothing to get whatever they wanted. They would even play God if that was what it took. When this realization dawned on me, my entire mentality changed. If my own father could offer me to a man to clear his debt, if the man I thought I met through destiny, and fell in love with could have planned meeting me cunningly from the very start, whilst hiding who he truly was from me, if I was seeing daily how much disaster these men so easily created, then there was no room for them in my fairytale. I changed, princess.”“But you had a son. You had my father.” Ivy pointed out, wanting to

Vladimir returned to the lounge to find Andrei and Hedeon already there, having a conversation.“I'll have that, thank you.” He snatched the bottle of whiskey from Andrei's hand, and plopped on a chair.“See what he does?” Andrei requested backup from Hedeon who didn't even crack a smile in response. “Yeah, sometimes I forget you're a robot.” He eyed him, then stood up to grab a fresh bottle for himself.“You're mad about Isabella's presence,” Vladimir said in a matter-of-fact kind of tone.Hedeon's beer was halfway to his lips, when he brought it down, and shifted his gaze to the boss. “I'm not mad, just confused,” he replied honestly.“Same difference,” Vladimir shrugged. “It's expected anyway. You clearly still have feelings for her.”“What?!” His eyes popped out.Andrei paused his drinking, and chuckled. For the most part, Andrei was overly expressionless.But there were these random moments like now, he burst out with an outflow of emotions and expressions that turned him from a

Vladimir's chair scraped against the floor, as he dragged it to the back, and rose to his feet.“I told you to let me deal with that girl, Son. I told you. See how she thinks–”He ignored her, and walked straight to the door.“I'll talk to him,” Serena reassured her, running straight to him. “Vlad? Wait up.”He had just crossed through the door when she caught up with him. “Seriously? You're just going to walk out on your mother and everyone else like that?”“I'm not going to say it a second time. Stay away from me,” he warned, his voice dark and straight to the point, as he took a turn.Serena's feet stayed glued to the ground, unable to bring herself to go after him.He had warned, and she knew better than to defy him.“Blyat!” Vladimir cursed in Russian at the situation, as he just walked on.However, something pushed him to lift his head, only for him to see he was almost at Ivy's room door, just a few paces away from Anna, Ivy and her grandmother.Suddenly, he had something to sa
