Untamed (A mafia story)

Chapter 19

Dimitri had gone too far, way more than Ivan thought he'd go.
He had never been one to put his hands on a woman, he respected them greatly but sitting in the room looking at a bloodied Cara, Ivan knew his cousin had crossed the line between revenge and being a monster.

Her one eye was almost completely closed, her lip was swollen and bursted, part of her face had completely turned a dark shade of purple.

The doctor had told him that she suffered a concussion, the impact on her head was too much.

Ivan was sad, angry and disappointed.
He never thought Dimitri would go this far with her, all because of what?
Revenge on something that happened years ago.
Something she probably doesn't even remember doing.

From here on out, he was going to keep her away from Dimitri as best as he could, captive or not, he cared deeply for her and he'd hate to feel the fear and vulnerability he felt today not knowing if Dimitri would kill her or not.

He bent forwards and kissed her forehead before leaving the room, he was going to give Dimitri a piece of his mind, he marched towards his study and without knocking he barged in.

Dimitri was siting on the chair in front of his desk, he had taken off the shirt he had on before, he looked more calm than before.

Seeing his cousin barge into his office like that, he raised his brows at him.
"Can't you knock"? He spat out and Ivan just snorted.

He knew what he was about to say might anger his cousin to the extreme but he didn't really care.
"What are you turning into"? He asked lowly, Dimitri didn't even have it in him to answer such questions right now, he ignored his cousins words and went back to what he was doing.
"You're becoming something else, you think she would have wanted this for you"? He asked and the growl and glare Dimitri sent his way, let him know he had hit a nerve.

"Don't even think about it Ivan" he barked out

"Why? Does it hurt to talk about her? Dimitri it's been three years" he voiced lowly "punishing her for it won't bring Veronica back" he muttered and Dimitri growled out, he had no right to talk about her like that.

"Don't you dare talk about her like that Ivan, don't push me" he growled out

"You almost killed her" Ivan snapped

"Her husband killed my men"!! He yelled, why can't Ivan understand that that whatever he does now, he's doing for his sake, if Enzo ever get his hands on Ivan, he'd face a much worse fate than what Cara's facing now.

"What if she's not even Cara? Dimitri I've seen Cara, I was there that night, she is nothing like her" he voiced out and Dimitri just snorted, here he goes again with his stupid theory of her being someone.

"If she's not Cara then who is she"? He asked looking at his cousin, Ivan didn't have any proof, he just stood there mouth open with no words coming out.

"I don't know, okay, I don't know" he repeated, somehow he's sure she's not Cara, the girl he had come to like is nothing like the dangerous killer everyone talked about.

"You're saying this because you like her, because of some Italian pussy, you're blinded" Dimitri snapped and that only aggravated Ivan the more, he hated the fact that Dimitri was talking about her like that

"Don't do something you're going to regret Dimitri, You're slowly turning into him, you're doing exactly what Fabio did" he whispered and it took everything in Dimitri not to pull his gun out on his cousin, because if he did he'd definitely pull the trigger.
