Grace’s POV
“I swear if something happened to my daughter…”
Anamika disconnected the call after talking to someone called Rose on the phone.
I can understand her concern, she is a mother afterall. Would my mother have reacted the same, guess I’ll never know.
I was expecting Anamika to lash out on me, blame me for everything but she didn’t. She didn’t even look at me.
Vlad is stubborn, He won’t return back Raan until they return me and i don’t want him to hurt Raan. She is innocent in all this.
“You have to let me go.”
I said and all eyes snapped towards me.
Specially Dom, he was not looking at me, he was glaring.
Anamika shook her head, not in annoyance but in fear.
What’s wrong with her. Anyone would have agreed to return me to save their daughter.
“Vlad will leave her… He just wants me… I___”
“Grace go back to the room…”
Dom ordered.
He can’t be serious.
“Go back to your room. Now!”
He said calmly but anger was dripping from his words.
There was no space to argue and all eyes were on me.
I turned on my heels and walked towards the bedroom. Jerk!
I was just trying to help, why it’s so difficult for them to let me go. It’s been already more than three weeks.
I sat on the bed and groaned when my back and lower belly hurt. Shit! Why it’s hurting now a days.
I leaned back on the bed and sighed when it gave me some relief.
I closed my eyes but i know i can’t sleep. I want to trust Vlad that he won’t hurt innocent Raan. She must be terrified, poor girl.
But who are those men who just barged in. May be Raan’s Boyfriends, Bella once mentioned them accidentally.
And the main thing is who is Rose and Anamika trust her to save Raan rather than trusting her own Family.
God! This is so fucked up.
I tossed and turned but couldn’t sleep, Dom is still down and he probably won’t be returning to the room.
I walked towards the washroom to look for a first aid kit, there should be some painkillers, my back pain is killing me. I came back and opened the drawer of night stand to look for it there but it’s nowhere. I shuffled through things but found nothing except white envelope which was coming in my way.
What is this and why Dom has left it in this drawer, he usually keeps all his documents in the office since i have arrived in his room. May be afraid that i will steal his important information.
Curiousity got the best of me and i opened it. My eyes roamed on bold letters and for a second i couldn’t think straight.
I heard loud footsteps and looked up when door got slammed open.
“Dom?”
He went straight to his closet and came back with huge briefcase.
“Go to sleep.”
He opened the bag which has Big gun. I don’t know what model is this but it looks quite dangerous.
I can’t keep quiet knowing that Raan is suffering because of me and he was hiding such a big thing from me.
“Vlad won’t stop this time… He is__”
“I said go back to sleep…”
It was an order.
What The fuck!
“Dom do you think I am a fool.”
I walked towards him.
“Raan is in problem because of me…”
He looked at me and tossed the gun back in briefcase.
“You are not going anywhere… Am i clear.”
He stood up and hovered over me.
I closed my eyes in frustration.
“Some or other day I have to go back, Dom… i can’t stay here forever… Why are you risking your sister’s life for me.”
And why did you hide this from me, i tightened my fist on the paper.
“It’s not about Raan…”
He replied.
“You won’t understand.”
He finished with a sigh.
Anger bubbled inside me. First of all he is not ready to talk clearly and has audacity to say that.
“Won’t understand what… Huh?…”
I pushed him back. He frowned when he stumbled back.
“Have you ever tried to talk to me?… Ok don’t know what’s in your mind. What are you even thinking?… Why it’s so hard for all of you to let me go… Neither you nor your family is ready to let me go…”
I pushed him back again.
“What is it?.
I yelled.
“I know Dom… Now i know the reason…”
I through the paper on his chest and his eyes stretched in realisation.
I gasped when he jerked me forward by my arms.
“The thing is. You. Are. Mine. Grace”
He gritted.
“You are fucking mine and everyone knows it…”
I looked at him with wide eyes. What is he even saying.
“I always told you but the thing is you never understand, you never realised how much i love you…”
Ground beneath my feet slipped away by his words. Love? He loves me?
How? Why? When?
Something coiled around my heart, squeezed it like my heart is going to split in half.
I looked at his angry eyes.
“You never tried to understand me… You don’t care how much i love you… Even after trying so hard you always try to go away from me…”
“What are you saying?”
I mumbled.
“You can’t go back Grace…”
He gritted.
“Because you are pregnant with my baby and now you know that…”
My whole world crashed on me when he said that.
I am pregnant!
“I am pregnant!”
Another mumble.
“Yes you are pregnant… With. My. Baby.”
He declared.
“And you are not going to leave this room until i bring back Raan… Do you understand!”
He released my arms when his phone rang.
He grabbed his phone and gun and walked out of the room leaving me in a shock.
I am pregnant!
This is impossible. I felt my cheeks getting wet. I touched my belly, weird sense rushed in my body knowing that i am carrying a life.
I was devastated when i learnt that i can’t bear child, but now when i am finally out of that curse, i don’t know how to react.
I am carrying Dominick’s child. Who is my kidnapper, my brother’s enemy!
Oh god!
‘You can’t go back Grace… Because you are pregnant with my baby…’
He knows, his whole family knows and that’s why they are not letting me go. They want their heir.
And he didn’t feel necessary to tell me. I clasped my sob. I thought he care but all he care about is his baby, that’s why he was being gentle with me.
How long he was going to hide it from me. I thought they are good people, ignored Vlad.
He warned me!
How can I be such a fool. It was all trap. They want to get back at Vlad that’s why they did this.
They knows that after getting pregnant with his child Vlad won’t be able to protect me from Russians, they won’t accept the Sister of Russian mafia king carrying the child of Italian mafia King and they can use me against him.
Shit!
But more than that, Dom’s betrayal is hurting me more. He used me.
All of this was a trap, he don’t love me. He just wants to make me believe it.
No! I can’t let them use me anymore. I have to escape.
I wiped my eyes and rushed out of the door. I don’t care if they try to stop me, I’ll see how much they can go rough on me knowing i am carrying their heir.
No one is in the living room, except Bella.
“Grace, what are you doing here… You should rest…”
She gave me small smile but it was not genuine.
“Everyone’s working on the plan… Don’t worry Raan Will be fine…”
As if i give a fuck! Not after what they did to me.
“I am leaving, Bella!”
I declared and she frowned.
“Leaving where?”
She asked.
I ignored her and started walking towards the main door.
“Grace stop…”
She grabbed me by arm.
“You shouldn’t leave the house… Dom won’t like it…”
I scoffed as angry tears escaped my eyes.
“So what… I don’t care… I don’t give a fuck”
I yelled and she flinched.
“You all are lier…”
“Grace..”
She looked at me in disbelief.
“I trusted you guys and you were just using me…”
She shook her head.
“Tell me Bella… Did you know that i am pregnant?”
She went silent and her guilty eyes told me that she knew.
“That’s it… I got your answer…”
I jerked my hand away.
“Tell your Kind that he will pay for every lie.”
“Grace stop!… I can’t explain you anything but you are wrong… DOM Loves you..”
She cried.
But i didn’t stop, i don’t want to hear anymore lies.
“Guards… Don’t let her step out of the door…”
She ordered and looked at her with frown.
“I am sorry Grace…”
She wiped her eyes.
“But as a queen it’s my duty to stop you from escaping…”
Fine then! I stepped forward And Few guards blocked my way.
We all flinched when gurads body fell at my feet.
“Don’t forget she is a Russian mafia princess…”
My eyes widened at that voice.
Vlad!
I covered my ears to block gunshots which filled the living room.
Blood is everywhere!
I opened my eyes and looked at Vlad. How did he breached the security.
I shook my head when looked at Bella and her daughter who was on the couch.
“Vlad, let’s go!…”
He didn’t look away from them, i know this stare. He wants to kill them.
“Please!”
I don’t want him to kill small baby. She is innocent.
“You know what you are doing Vlad… And this is wrong!”
Bella glared at him.
“They don’t deserve it!”
Vlad smirked.
“Stop me then!”
“You will regret it!”
She warned.
“I would have love to take you with me but you are no fun… You bored me last time…”
He mocked Bella and she scoffed.
“Leave her!”
Bella yelled when Vlad picked up Alexandra from the couch. She giggled and started playing with his tie.
Bella was held back by Vlad’s men.
“Please don’t hurt her…”
She cried.
“Shhh, calm down… You will scare her…”
Vlad chuckled.
“Vlad what are you doing?”
I shook my head. He can’t hurt the baby.
“Leave my daughter you bastard!”
Bella trashed to set free.
“She is cute! I would have love to take her with me but i don’t have that much time…”
He placed Alexandra down.
“Let’s go princess…”
He walked towards me and sighed in relief.
He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and led me out of the house.
“Michael… Lock them inside and burn down the mansion…”
“Vlad, No!”
I screamed terrified.
“Don’t do this.”
He grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the helicopter which has ruined the beautiful garden.
“They need to pay for everything….”
He gritted.
“For. Every. Fucking. Thing.”
“No, don’t kill them please…”
I cried when he shoved me inside.
I eyes widened in horror when i saw his men setting the house on fire.
