Chapter 11
Viktoria's POV
I cringe as the door slams shut and Abe comes storming in. "This is all your fault! My daughter should never have been subjected to that.. that horror and now she is laying half dead on a hospital bed!" Abe screams slamming his fists down into the table in front of me. I try not to flinch but hell he was scary. "This is your fault! Your brother should never have known your location. If he hadn't showed up Rose would be perfectly fine. Healthy and completely ignorant of how messed up her life really is." I watch Abe take a deep breathe and pace in front of me. "And just to make it worse, your brother has the nerve to fall in love with her! I'm not even sure at this point whether or not this is a good thing because at least I know she has his protection."
My nails dig into my hands where they are clenched together. I take a deep breathe "Of course Sir. I apologize profusely but it was honestly only a matter of time before someone came for her. Also I believe having Dimitri in her life will be a very good thing. My brother is a good man, and he will do anything in his power to protect Rose. Besides, the feelings are mutual. Rose likes him right back and it has been so difficult for her to find someone to care about. You're never there sir! You don't see how lonely she is! All she does is work, and take care of her dying mother!" I feel rage building in me and I stare at Abe defiantly. "You act like you care about her but all you do is send her some protection and then forget about her. You are no father!" I shout, standing up and slamming my own hands down on the table. I was so tired of this guy pretending to play father for Rose who didn't even know he was alive. I hated him and if it wasn't for Rose needing someone and the fact Abe could kill me with a snap of his fingers, I would have left.
Abe turns and looks at me with an eyebrow raised, "I will pretend you didn't just say that to me. However, if it makes you feel any better, I will be telling Rose that I am still alive because I am going to move her to Turkey where she will have ten times the amount of security and I can make sure this never happens again! You and your boyfriend, Eddie, will stay back in America for awhile, plus I want you to watch Rose's mother." Abe turns away for a second and then suddenly he whips around and I feel my face explode with pain as he slaps me across the cheek " And don't you ever talk to me again like that. Now I am going to go sit with my daughter and you are going to pack to leave."
I stand there, my hand gently cupping my cheek watching Abe leave with a glare. How could he ask me to leave when Rose wasn't even awake yet. Slumping back down in the chair below me, I stare down at the table in front of me, idly drawing patters on the wood with a pen. The only good thing that came out of this were the flash drives we found at the bottom of a bag Rose managed to grab in her escape.
With the scrape of the chair legs on the ground, I stand up and make my way out of the room, heading back to Sonya's place to pack my stuff. I pray that Rose will at least wake before I leave. It has been a week now and there have been movements but so far she hasn't woken up yet. Each day though she has been looking better and responding more to voices, especially Dimitri's.
I walk into the house and am surprised to find Dimitri sitting on the couch staring blankly at one of those western novels he loves so much. "Dimka?" I ask tentatively placing a hand on his shoulder. He jumps, dropping the book, "Oh Viky, it's you" Dimitri says turning to pick his book up.
"What are you doing home and not at the hospital?" I ask sitting down next to him, letting my hair fall forward so he can't see my cheek.
"Abe cleared out Rose's hospital room claiming he wanted to spend some time alone with his daughter. I think he is up to something and I don't like it" Dimitri admits looking up at Viktoria.
"He told me he is taking her back to Turkey where she will better be protected and that he is making me go back to America with Eddie." I inform Dimitri.
He frowns, "Something still isn't sitting right with me..." Suddenly Adrian comes running into the room frantic.
"He's taken Rose! Abe has taken Rose! He closed down the entire hospital and a helicopter landed on the roof. It had Turkish writing on it. I couldn't see it once it landed but after it took off again the reopened the hospital. I ran inside and Rose was gone." Adrian pants out collapsing on the couch next to Dimitri.
I sit there shocked while Dimitri jumps up "We have to find her! I don't trust Abe even if he is her father!" Dimitri bolts out of the room and I sit there staring at Adrian.
"Rose..." I whisper out. Adrian places a comforting hand on my shoulder. "I know" He says and then gets up and leaves.
I lean back against the couch. I am not terribly worried because if there is one thing I know about Abe, it's that he would never hurt his daughter. However this still doesn't make any sense, why would he just leave like that? I close my eyes and end up drifting off to sleep.
He he he, don't worry, I know Rose has been through a lot and so I promise she is not about to get hurt again. But what do you think? Why do you think Abe just took her and left like that?
