Brietta's POV
My anxiety has been bubbling up, since Vladimir said we needed to talk.. and now heading to his office I feel the need to drink.
🌹
As I walk into his office I see Boris standing over in the corner, Igor sitting down on the sofa, and Dmitri standing near the desk. While Vladimir is sitting in his chair behind the desk. I quietly take the seat in the chair in front of the desk but I sit at an angle I can still see everyone.
"Before we start I want to let you know that Thalia, Paolo's wife led your family to BB&F, and were going to cause a scene but the soldiers we have placed there took care of it. Agatha and your other little friend are safe, and her shop is in one piece."
Dmitri tells me in a serious yet reassuring tone
I give a nod and say "Thank you."
"Alessandro now knows we're involved, meaning from here on out things will get complicated."
Igor chimes in
"Did they tell my mothers family?" I ask
"Yes we assume the French fries know because they had started working together to find you. We just don't know their intentions for you." Dmitri says
I let out a soft laugh because of his nickname for my mothers family.
"They want the truth. I'm the only person alive who has it but I refused them." I say with a shrug
"Are you suggesting they'll torture you for it?"
Dmitri asks
"I'm not sure. They don't kill family, they've made that clear to me. I broke a rule I didn't know about. So they are angry. Now they want to find me, and they want the truth. If they won't kill me but want something from me...wouldn't it be safe to assume torture would be an option?" I point out
"It's clear you don't trust them." Igor says
"She doesn't have a reason too." Boris says roughly
Igor nods and says "No. I suppose not."
"Do you trust us?" Vladimir questions
"Do you trust me?" I question
"Yes." He replies
"I trust Boris, and I'm starting trust the rest of you." I reply
"Why Boris?" Dmitri questions
As all of the men in the room wait for my response.
Boris looks like he's enjoying it as he slightly smiles.
I smirk and decide nows a good time to mess with them.
"He's now my lover, of course I'd trust him most."
I say shocking all of them
Boris's eyebrows shoot up before he glares at me but I just wink at him. Igor and Dmitri look severely confused and a concerned as they look from me to Boris then to Vladimir. Interesting.
Vladimir looks calm, too calm. Especially considering he's eyes are showing rage.
"How long?" Vladimir looks to me and questions in a tone I haven't heard him use yet. It was demanding, hard, and cold. I could practically feel the ice coming from him. Which I also find interesting.
