He sighed, sat next to me, and said: "It's nothing let me handle it."
"No, tell me. I'm your wife now, so what affects you affects me."
He kissed my hair and said, "We are having are shipments stolen, but we don't know by who."
"Could it be the other two Mafia's."
"No, they would never move against me, and they are stealing from them as well."
That's what they're saying, making me say, "They could be lying to you, and you are the strongest mafia in Russia, but if they team up, they might be able to take you over."
He looked at me and said, "It's possible, but I don't think they would."
I don't understand why making says, "Why you are stronger than them, so you have more power and pull in Russia. Hell, around the world."
He stood up, walked over to his desk, and sorted through his papers until he found one. He walked back over to me, handed me the paper, and said: "Is this your family."
Yeah, it is. I looked at him and said, "Yeah, this is my asshole family. Why, Dimitri?"
"They work with both those families."
What? I never knew they were in the mafia making stand up and say, "Are you sure? Don't get me wrong; my family are assholes who treated me like shit, but I never took them for the mafia."
He shook his head and said, "That part of the reason I was so distant, but I found out who your real mother was."
Birth mother. My mother was with my father making me cock my head. He must have known I didn't know, but before he could say anything, my pain got worse, making me whimper. Dimitri picked me up and carried me to our bedroom now. Once I was on the bed, he said, "Your mom was one of your fathers' mistress. Once he found out she was pregnant, he made her move in with your stepmom. I don't know how that work, but your mom died two years after giving birth to you."
My dad lied to me all my life. Why did he keep me making say, "Why even keep me?"
He sat down and said, "I don't know honestly. I guess you were his daughter. I have the feeling it was your stepmother that causes hatred."
"I have been lied to my entire life."
He kissed my forehead and said, "You may be right, but I need proof to move against them."
What if my family wants me dead? They could use them, making me lay back and said: "If they are in with my family, do you think they will come after me."
He touched my cheek and said, "Nothing will happen to you, so go to sleep прекрасная." (Beautiful)
I shook my head and said, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
With that, I let the darkness take me.
Chapter 11
2 month later
I t's been two months since Dimitri and I got married paper wise, and it's been a mess. Dimitri and I are excellent at night. He is sweet and caring, but during the day, he can be very distant, so I have been hanging with Ivan. I haven't been feeling the best, either. I feel like I'm going to puck all the time, and I get dizzy, but I have yet to tell him because he is so stressed.
Everything has gotten worse with the mafia. I'm sitting with Ivan watching a movie. I think I know what's wrong with me, but I don't know what to do. I missed my period, and everything else fit, of course, I need a test. I need to ask someone to get it for me since I can’t leave the house, so I need to ask someone, and Ivan is the best person to ask.
I looked at him and said, "Can I ask a favor?"
"Sure."
I played with my fingers and said: "Can you get me a pregnancy test?"
His look said it all, making me jump up and say, "Don't tell Dimitri I don't know for sure."
He sighed and said, "Fine, but you owe me, Luna."
I shook my head as he left for the store. Once he left, I went into Dimitris office to see him working like usual. I walked over to him and said, "How is everything."
"Fine. What do you want, Luna?"
I don't know what his problem is, making me say, "What your problem? Since we got married and had sex during the day, you treat me like crap."
He looked at me and said, "I am swamped, and I don't have time for you, OK, Luna."
If he doesn't want me, then I will leave. I rolled my eyes and said, "Fine, I will leave you alone. I am sleeping in my room tonight."
He went to grab me, but I stormed off into the living room. My emotions are over the place. For some reason, I fell in love with an asshole who hurts me, making me start to cry. Sergei said, "What happened."
"Leave me alone."
He sat down and said, "I know Dimitri is difficult, but he is just stressed, so don't hold it against him."
"I don't care; I don't need the stress he is causing me, and I don't deserve how he is treating me."
"I know."
Once he left, I went up to my old room and sat down on the bed. I heard a knock at the door, making me say, "Come in."
Ivan came over with a test in hand. He handed it to me and said: "I heard what happened."
I rolled my eyes as he said, "If you are pregnant, then you need to tell him, so he doesn't stress you out as he does. I think he doesn't trust you."
"Then he shouldn't have married me."
"Agreed, but what's done is done. I will be downstairs."
I shook my head and watched him leave. Once he left, I walked into the bathroom and took the test put. I looked at contemplating whether I should take it or not. Is it better to know or not? I stood there for a good ten minutes before I finally took the test.
I sat there and waited for it to come up negative because I'm not ready to be a parent, and neither is Dimitri who needs to treat me better. Finally, the time came, and I looked to see it was positive. I threw the test away and held my face. I'm going to be a mom. I love kids, but I never thought I would raise a kid in the mafia with a man who treats me like crap.
I walked into the bedroom to see Fredek making me cock my head and say, "What are you doing here?"
Before he could answer, someone grabbed me from behind, making me struggle, but he said: "Stop, you can't fight us."
I stopped for my baby's sack, making Fredek say, "Good girl, let's go."
How did he even get in here? I cocked my head, making him smiled and say, "Your husband has a snake."
He tied my hands and legs to throw me over his shoulder. The minute they did, I knew it was Luka that betrayed Dimitri, but why. They kept my mouth shut, but I was able to get it off, making me scream, "DIMITRI!"
Fredek said fuck, and they quickly left with me. They put me in the back of an SUV while the men climbed front. Fredek got beside me and said, "Go."
I heard Dimitri scream as we left. Fredek looked at me and growled, "I will let that go but do that again, and you will regret it."
I shook my head and watched as we drive through the wood. Everything was quiet until cars came up behind us fast. Fredek looked at me and said, "Where is the tracker?"
What. I cocked my head and said, "What do you mean tracker?"
He went to grab me, but I said: "I would tell you if I had, I promise."
"Why?"
I was quite making him grab my hair. I grabbed his hand and yelled, "I am pregnant."
He let me go and said, "That's interesting, but I can us that."
Like hell, he can. I'm behind the drive; maybe I can cause him to crash. It could kill the baby but better now than when he or she is born, and we are with Fredek. I looked at him as I put my seat belt on and elbowed him in the face then kick the back seat, which causes the driver to lose complete control of the car.
Luckily, I had my seat belt on because the SUV rolled. I was in and out of it until someone cut my seat belt making me land on the hood. I saw it was Fredek, who was pissed. There was a knife right beside me, so when he went to pulled me out, I stabbed him in the gut, making him drop the knife. He laid on his back as I cut my ropes.
Once they were, I crawled on Fredek and stabbed him in the chest until he wasn't breathing anymore. No one threatens to hurt my baby or me and gets away w
ith it. The car was mangled, but the one door was still able to be open, or I hope so. When I went to open it, the door would not budge.
Someone grabs my leg, making me see one of his men still alive. I still had the knife, so I stabbed him right in the face. Everything hurts right now, and I need to get out of this SUV. I turned, so my feet were towards the door. I kicked three times, but it only budges an inch, and I'm losing my strength, but I need out if here.
I kicked one last time with everything I had, and to my luck, it opened, but now I can barely move from the pain. I managed to crawl out of the car to see three vehicles pulling up. The headlights where blinding making me cover my eyes. I saw two of the vehicles shut off, and men get out too.
To my relief, it was Dimitri, Ivan, Adrian, and Sergei. Dimitri ran over to me and said: "Are you OK, Luna?"
"Hurts."
"I will get you home."
No, I need a hospital to check on the baby. I heard the door open as Sergei said: "Why did you betray us, Luka?"
He didn't say anything making Dimitri say, "Take him to the cell while I take her home."
No. "No need, hospital."
"No, we can take care of you."
"No."
"Yes."
I forgot I never told him about me being pregnant. I looked him straight in the eyes and said: "I'm pregnant."
I wanted to say more, and I wanted to see his look, but the darkness took me before I could. The last thing I heard was him screaming my name.
I could hear people talking, and I heard Dimitri telling me to come back to him. I felt him holding my hand, but as hard as I tried to wake up, I couldn't until finally, my mind took over, and I opened my eyes to see Dimitri with his head down, holding my hand.
He looked like how I felt, which was hell. My throat is so dry, and my body hurts. I moved my hand from his hold and started to play with his hair making him shoot up and look around. Once he saw me, he smiled and said: "I thought I lost you my Моя прекрасная роза." (My beautiful rose)
I still don't know Russian, but I don't care. I tried to talk, but my throat is so dry, making him say, "Let me go get the doctor and some water.
I just smiled and watched as he poked his head. The doctor came in with some water making Dimitri helped me sit up and drink. Once I was done, he gently laid me back down as the doctor said, "You are fortunate women, Mrs. Marco, you came out with minor cuts and bruises. A bad concussion, but that has passed already."
How. How long have I been out, and how is the baby? I sat up as I touched my stomach and said: "Wait, what about the baby."
Dimitri touched my stomach as the doctor said: "The baby is fine."
I took a deep breath as I laid back down. Dimitri kissed my forehead as the doctor said: "I'm going to take your vitals, and as long as you are stable for the next two days, you can go home, but you will be on bed rest."
"That's not a problem, doctor; I will stay with her if I have to."
I rolled my eye and smiled. The doctor took my vitals as the nurse drew some blood to do the test. Once they left, Dimitri kissed me like he has never kissed me before, and I instantly kissed him back. I knew he missed me by the way he kissed me, but he touches my bruised cheek on accident, making me whimper. He immediately pulled back and said, "I'm sorry, прекрасная." (Beautiful)
I smiled and said, "Don't be Dimitri. I love it when you kiss me."
He smiled and said, "Good once you're healed, I will be doing it a lot more, my beautiful little rose."
I smiled as I touch my stomach, where our baby was growing and just smiled. He put his hand over mine and said: "I love you, Luna."
I touched his cheek and said, "I love you."
He looked so surprised when I said but only for a second because he leaned down and kissed me again. I pulled back and said, "You need to go home and get cleaned."
He smells what can I say. He smiled at said, "Yeah, well, when you hadn't bathed in a week, that can happen."
That's how long I was out for. Why was I out for so long. I looked at him and said, "Why was I out so long if it was nothing major."
"The doctor said your body went into the coma to heal your body."
I shook my head and said, "Go take a shower."
Adrian came in and said, "I will watch her boss because she is right; you need to get clean."
He rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, but don't leave her side."
He smiled and said, "I won't."
Dimitri kissed my forehead and said, "I will be back beautiful."
I shook my head and watched as he left. I looked at Adrian and said, "Has he been here the entire time."
"Yep, he has had us working, but we don't mine. How are you feeling."
"Tired and sore."
"Then go to sleep."
He is right. Sleep will help. I shook my head as I closed my eyes not to wake till tomorrow.
Chapter 12
I t's been two today, and the doctor is finally letting me out so I can go home. Dimitri hasn't left my side, and if he does, one of the guys takes his place. It is sweet but very annoying, and of course, I need to be on bed rest for a week once I get home. Dimitri went to speak with the doctor while I was getting up without permission, but whatever.
God, my body still hurts, but this hospital bed is not helping that at all. The door opens to reveal Dimitri, who ran up to me and said: "Get your butt back in bed."
I shook my head, no. He sighed, "Please."
"I want to go home."
"Fine, the doctor said you are fine to go. We need to sign a form once they get it ready."
I shook my head and relaxed against his chest. He started playing with my hair as he said, "I'm sorry this happen. I should have been there."
He won't stop apologizing, but he won't tell me why he is. I understand a bit, but not a lot. I said, "We will talk when we get home."
He kissed my shoulder and said, "Of course, прекрасный." (Beautiful)
The door opened to reveal the nurse with papers. Once she came over, Dimitri sat on the bed and touched my leg. He touched a bruise, making me move it. He gave me that look which broken me, but before I could say anything, the doctor said: "Sign here, and the bill will be sent to you."
I signed the paper and watched her leave. Fantastic, I don't have the money for this. Dimitri touched my cheek with care, kissed my forehead, and said: "Don't worry about the money прекрасный I will take care of you and our baby." (Beautiful)
I know he will, so I just smiled and said: "Get me home so we can talk."
He kissed me, and when he tried to put back, I put my hand in his hair and pulled him back. He groaned but pulled back to say, "We can't till you are healed."
I whined, making him smiled and said, "Can you get dressed, or do you need help."
I shrugged my shoulders, making I'm rolling his eye. "I'm going to get a wheelchair, so get a dress, and if you can't, I will help when I get back."
He sat my clothes on the bed and left. Once he did, I threw the covers back, sat up, and took this nightgown off. I slipped the bra he gave me on then the fuzzy sweatshirt. After that, I slipped my underwear on, which was hard since I stayed on the bed. Once I hit the leggings is got harder a lot harder because it hurt a bit.
I stood up and got then on. Once they were, Dimitri came in with a wheelchair. "I can walk."
"Get in."
I rolled my eye, but for once, I listened to him and got in. The ride seems to take forever, but finally, we got outside where it was cold. I stood up and started to walk with most of my body weight on Dimitri, who, in the end, just picked me up. "I can walk."
He kept walking as he said, "For once will you please just lean on me for you and the baby's sake."
I sighed but did as asked. Once we hit the SUV, he sat me down and said, "Can you get in. I figured the SUV would be easier than a car or truck."
I shook my head and hoped in with a little bit of his help. The minute I was in, h
e shut the door and got in the drivers' side. It's cold in here since it wasn't it on and I'm freezing. "Can I have your jacket."
He turned the car on, put the heat on full blast, and then draped his jacket around me. I saw he was in a black long sleeve with his guns on either side. I snuggled closer to his coat and said: "Thank you."
He took off and said, "You welcome прекрасный, but if you keep looking at me like that, we are going to have some problems." (Beautiful)
I bit my lip and hid my face. He laughed and said, "I love the color pink on you."
"Shut up."
I heard him laugh, and then the rest of the car ride was a blur because I fell asleep wrapped around his jacket, which has his smell.
I felt someone picked me up and carried me inside the house. I opened my eyes and saw Dimitri taking me to our bedroom, where he sat me down. I sat up as he said, "Go back to sleep, прекрасный." (Beautiful)
I shook my head as said, "No, we need to talk."
He sat down as I said, "Why do you keep apologizing to me."
"I should have never yelled at you or treated you like I did. When I was around you at night, you calmed all my fear, but when you were gone, they left."
Fears. What fears. "What fears."
"That you would betray me. The minute I heard you scream, I rushed down and saw you were taken at first, I thought it was a trap. I still needed you, so the guys and I chased after you. Then I saw you with rope burns, and I knew you weren't tricking me."
He had a tear in his eye, showing me just how scared he was. I whipped it away as he grabbed my hand and said, "The minute you told me you were pregnant and you passed out, I forgot about everything. Ivan drove us to the hospital while you were in my arms. They had to pry you from me."
I smiled because I could have seen that. "I wish I could have seen that."
"I'm sure I was losing my mind."
I laughed and laid back down, but how is everything else. "How is the mafia."
He stood up and said, "Well, we found Fredek with about thirty stab wounds and the driver with a knife in the eye care to explain."
