Anyway, enjoy it you guys!
Chapter 25.1 - Problem two: solved, by keeping a promise
The painful moaning of a woman is heard in the dark stony walls, along with the grunting of a man. A hard smack is suddenly heard, followed by, "Stop your wailing, you bitch!" the man growls at the woman as he once again thrusts into her in an aggressive manner as he continues to rape the poor woman.
The brown haired man is one of Boris's new employees and he is currently abusing his power as a new mob member, he thinking that he has the authority to do as he pleases, whenever he wants to. He had found the blonde haired woman walking alone along a road, and so he decided to kidnap her so that he can have a little bit of fun with her; he did not even wait until they got to his room before he ripped off her clothes and then started to assault her. Fortunately for him, the hallway that he is currently in is empty from other people, or so he thinks.
Boris has been informed of the commotion after one of the security guards have picked it up on CCTV, the rapist not aware of the CCTV cameras that have been installed all over the underground building, and instead of sending his guards to stop this vile act, Boris has opted to do it himself as he wants to teach this abuser a lesson that he will not forget anytime soon.
Boris knows exactly where this horrid act is taking place and he is silently making his way down the stony hallway, his revolver at the ready to shoot as soon as he is right behind this so-called employee of his.
Boris realises that he is closing in on the raping as he can hear the grunts of the man as the woman continues to cry and call for help, but by the sounds of it, it is clear that her mouth is covered as it is more like a mumbling that is coming from the woman.
Boris finally reaches the man and woman, and he can clearly see how the poor woman is being held down on to her back, the man on his knees as he continues to thrust forward, and without any warning or any sound, Boris suddenly shoots the man on his left butt cheek, and a loud yell is immediately heard from the man. He immediately turns around to see who dares shoot him, but the moment he sees Boris, his face pales and he quickly moves away from the woman who tries to cover herself the moment the man is off of her.
She scurries back as she looks up the older man, she now even more terrified than before.
"Mr Balkov, I am so sorry, please forgive me," the brown haired man says as he bows down while holding his left ass cheek in order to stop the bleeding.
"What do you think you are doing?" Boris asks in an eerily calm voice.
The brown haired man keeps his head down as he continues to talk to Boris, "I was only having a little fun, Sir, you know, to unwind a little after what has happened to Brooklyn and the others."
"And this was the only way?"
"Err...at the time it seemed like the perfect way, Sir."
"What did this poor woman do to deserve this horrible treatment from you?"
"Nothing, Sir; please, Mr Balkov, I apologise for my behaviour, it will not happen again."
"You're right, it will not happen again," and without saying another word, Boris proceeds to shoot the man right between the legs, the brown haired man suddenly crying out in agony as he grabs the bleeding crotch area.
Boris sneers at the man, the elder man deciding to let this rapist suffer for a while longer before he puts him out of his misery.
The woman looks on with sheer horror on her face at how the man is crying in pain while his hands are covered in his own blood, but even if it is very horrible, she can't help but feel a little satisfied about what has just been done to him.
Boris keeps his attention on the man and he raises his gun once more, "You will never have the pleasure of feeling a woman ever again," and then Boris proceeds to put three bullets into the brown haired man's head, his brains spattering against the stony wall behind him as his half naked body falls flat to the stony floor.
"Get someone to clean up this mess," Boris demands as he places his gun into its holster, he knowing that the guards are able to hear him; he does not get a confirmation but he knows that they have heard him
The woman looks up at Boris with fear clearly visible in her eyes, and she only whimpers when Boris approaches her, "It's alright, my dear; I am not going to hurt you," Boris says in a very soft and caring tone of voice while he kneels beside the woman and holds out his left hand.
Boris silently curses himself because he knows that he cannot just kneel whenever he feels like it, the cracking sound coming from his knees being proof of this, but he ignores it for now because he wants to help this defenceless woman.
The woman shrugs away from Boris and she looks at his hand with wide eyes, she not sure whether he will hurt her even more seeing as he has just killed a man without a second to spare.
"You can trust me, I promise; I only want to help you. Here," Boris gets back up, even if he needs the support of the wall to pull himself up, but he gets up and he removes his trench coat which he drapes of her naked body, and again Boris holds out his hand for the woman to take, "Let me take you to my room where you can get cleaned up and can get some new clothes to wear."
The woman is still very hesitant, but she finally takes hold of Boris's hand where he gently pulls her up, "I am Boris."
The blonde haired woman nods her head, "I am Mila," she says as she and Boris starts to make their way down the stony hallway, Boris just smiling at her while he compliments her on her lovely name.
"I must apologise for what that man has done to you; I had no idea that he was capable of such behaviour, but now we both can be certain that he will never harm you again."
"Thanks, I guess," Mila says as she looks down, she still afraid of Boris, but he cannot blame her.
"Do not worry, Mila; I promise you that you will be safe with me. I do not condone such behaviour, and in my eyes it is only punishable by death, so you have my word that as long as you are here, no man will put a hand on you, otherwise he will for surely die by my hand."
Mila only smiles at Boris sheepishly and she does not comment on that because she is still not sure whether Boris is a good guy or bad guy; she has seen too many movies where a man pretends to be the hero and saves the girl to only end up hurting her in unspeakable manners, so that is why Mila is still very cautious with Boris, but she still follows him because how else will she get out of here? The other man had knocked her out and she only became conscious when he threw her to the floor, so she does not have the faintest idea of how to get out of this stony hell.
The two continue to walk in silence through a series of halls, Mila becoming more and more frightened and claustrophobic with each step that she takes deeper into this stony maze and just as she is about to feel her chest tighten, Boris announces that they have arrived at his personal quarters.
Boris opens one of the wooden doors and he allows Mila entry first and then he silently follows her where he closes the door gently behind them.
Mila looks around and she is rather surprised to see such a warmly decorated room; one would expect a dark and gloomy room seeing as this entire place is all doom and gloom, but this room is anything but that.
There is a four poster bed in the one corner with orange, gold and garnet coloured covers on it and with various sizes of pillows on it, and there is an orange satin material draped over each wooden pillar of the bed, the canopy of the bed also consisting of this material. There are various colourful ornaments and plants decorating the large room, the plants and ornaments varying in size and colour; there is a large wooden desk in another corner with also various small ornaments on it, it standing all around the state of the art computer.
One would think that this room may belong to a woman, or a man with a very sensitive side, and not an elder man. The stony walls are still visible but most of it is covered with various paintings and large vases with fake plants in it.
"Wow, this place is beautiful," Mila says in an astounded tone of voice.
"Thank you, Mila; I thought I'd bring some colour into this dark place otherwise I would have committed suicide a long time ago. If you'd like, I will show you to my bathroom where there is both a shower and a bath to choose from if you wish to get yourself cleaned up."
"I would appreciate that a lot, thank you, Boris."
Boris only bows before making his way towards his en suite bathroom, Mila short on his heels. The moment Mila steps into the bathroom after Boris, she can't help but to gasp at how beautiful the bathroom is; in her opinion, it is more beautiful than the bedroom.
The stone walls are nowhere to be seen as it is all covered with white tiles, the white tiles having silver marking on them which gives the appearance of the room seeming bigger than it actually is; the main colours in the room are silver, light purple and light blue, and Mila had no idea that these three colours could complement each other in this manner.
The bathroom is also filled with various ornaments, all of them keeping to the colour scheme of course, and with various scented candles. There are clean towels and the mirrors are large and very clean, and again Mila cannot believe that this place belongs to an elder man.
"I will leave you to get cleaned up; there are new toothbrushes in the cupboard that is situated underneath the left basin, along with various soaps and shower gels, and also sponges if you want to use it. The purple towels are all clean towels and in the long cupboard is a bathrobe which you can use. I will leave some clean clothes on the bed for you which you can choose from. I will be back in about an hour's time, so you can take your time, Mila."
"I really appreciate what you are doing, Boris; thank you."
Again, Boris only bows his head to show that he is glad that he could help, and then he leaves the bathroom and closes the door where he proceeds to walk to a large old wooden trunk, and after putting in the code on the lock, the trunk opens, where a sad smile appears on Boris's face as his hand gently runs over the various items within the trunk.
There are various clothing items within the trunk, accompanied with shoes, jewellery, stuffed animals, and toys for girls and also various photos. Boris picks up one photo and his eyes start to well up as he looks at the photo of a younger him and a seven year old girl with the most beautiful blonde hair and bright blue eyes, the little girl sitting on his shoulder with the brightest smile on both of their faces.
A single tear makes its way down the left cheek of Boris as he continues to look at the blonde haired little girl, she being his little girl, Annushka Balkov, his only child.
Boris puts the photo back and then he takes another one, this one showing a 16 year old Annushka, the age where Boris had the most sleepless night because his little girl has discovered boys, and the boys has also discovered his little girl. There were endless fights about Boris constantly threatening her guy friends, but in the end father and daughter had always made up.
Boris takes another photo in his other hand, it being a white and grey photo of his daughter which was taken just before her death. It was taken by a professional photographer and it shows her just looking far into the distance with no definite smile on her face, only her lips being slightly parted as she depicts someone who is deep in thought.
"Papa, I think I have found my future husband; we are head over heels in love, and I don't mean crazy teenage love, but actual true love, the love that one usually fights for."
"I want to meet this young man so that I can see whether he has good intentions with my little girl."
"I am not a little girl, papa; I stopped being a little girl a long time ago."
"Wait until you have your own children, my girl, and then you will see what I mean; so, this 'future husband' of yours, do I know him?"
"You know his father."
"His father?"
"Yes, Voltaire Hiwatari."
Boris throws the photos back into the trunk and he walks away so that he can get his thoughts in order once more. He starts to pace the room a few times before returning back to the trunk where he takes out a few sets of clothes that he thinks will fit Mila, and he places them on the bed.
He then closes the trunk and locks it once more before making his way out of the room so that he can give Mila all the privacy that she needs.
The trunk belongs to Annushka and Boris had managed to keep it at his safe house, and now Boris is very happy and relieved about doing this otherwise he also would have lost this when Kai had decided to destroy all of his properties, and this is the one thing that Boris will not stand to lose because it is his life, and it is all that he has left of his deceased daughter. Annushka is the reason why Boris will never tolerate a woman being raped; being beaten is another story because he himself will not squirm or hesitate in lifting his hand for a woman, and he is even capable of killing them in cold blood, but not rape. Rape in his eyes is the worst thing that can ever happen to a woman.
Not even to mention when it happens to a blonde haired woman because they all remind his of his daughter and that is enough to drive Boris crazy and this causing him to turn into a violent and abusive monster.
Hence why he is suddenly so protective over this Mila, and he will try to make her stay here as comfortable as possible until she is strong enough to go home, and that is why Boris is on his way to go and find his own personal doctor so that the doctor can take a look at Mila to see whether she will be completely fine.
He may be a mobster, who kills without thinking twice, but he was once a father who loved his only daughter very much, and he still has those feelings within his heart, even if it is buried deep, deep down.

Ray and Mya are currently doing the books of Kiev, and Mya must admit that it really sucks ass.
"I did not sign up for this, Ray; you cannot force me to do this crap," she says as she tosses her pen to the side as she leans back into the chair and away from the computer and the books.
Ray only sighs at this because he knows that she did not sign up for this but with her position, it is a given that she will also have to deal with the financial statements; she can only be glad that it is not the load that Kai and Tala has to face sometimes, especially Kai seeing as he has the mob and his company's finances to deal with.
"You are not just a mere employee, Mya, and why do you suddenly have such a huge problem with it? Other times you were doing it with a smile on your face."
"Yeah, other times I was in the mood to do it, but right now I just want to go beat the living shit out of someone."
Ray only frowns at this because he has been noticing that Mya has been rather short tempered the last couple of days, "What is really going on, Mya? You have not been yourself these last couple of days."
Mya does not meet Ray's eyes because she cannot be honest with him, so she opts to lie to him instead, "I just think that I am sexually frustrated or something; you know how hormones can mess a person up."
Ray only grins at this, "Sexually frustrated you say? Well, I think we can do something about that," Ray says in a very playful manner, his facial expression accompanying that playfulness, and Mya can only raise an eyebrow at this because she did not expect this reaction from Ray, and she is actually nervous about what he is currently planning regarding her 'sexual frustration.'
"I am not sleeping with you, Ray, so forget it," she says very seriously and Ray just laughs at this.
"Not me, Mya, but what about Mikhail? You two seem to have some strong chemistry between the two of you so I am sure if you ask him, he will not mind one bit."
"Didn't you warn me about him some time ago?"
"Only about the part of him engaging in threesomes with Garland, but I am certain that if you tell Mikhail that you only want him in bed, he will be more than happy to oblige to that demand of yours."
Mya only frowns at this but then she starts to smile at this, "Mikhail may be just the answer to this problem; I am sure that a night in between the sheets with Mikhail will be just the thing that I need to be myself once more and to get rid of this frustrations that I am currently having."
"Good, but please for the love of all that is holy, Mya, use a condom or some type of protection so that you do not end up like Kai."
At once Mya is curious about this, "What do you mean 'like Kai'? Did he get infected with the big disease or what?"
Ray shakes his head from side to side while he sighs in a tired manner, "He went and knocked up the spawn of satan, that bitch Valeria."
A sudden pain is felt within Mya's chest, but she ignores it as she suddenly starts to cough after almost choking on her own saliva.
"You okay?" Ray asks while he looks at Mya with a concerned face.
Mya only nods her head while she keeps her right hand up to show him that she will be fine; fortunately her coughing seizes very quickly and she can talk once more, "Kai is going to be a father?"
"Yeah, and I am not happy about it."
"Why not?"
"Don't get me wrong; I am happy that Kai is going to be a father, but I am not happy about the fact that he is having a kid with Valeria. Kai does not need that kind of crap in his life, and I can think of so many other women who would have been a more suitable mother for his children, just not that psychotic bitch."
Mya cannot understand why she suddenly feels so disappointed in Kai becoming a father because she hates him; she hates him enough to want to take his life, and yet, it almost hurts her knowing that Kai is going to have a baby with another woman.
"Does Kai know how you feel about this Valeria being the mother of his child?"
Ray nods his head, "And it did not go down so smoothly when I told him, that's for sure."
"How come?"
"Let's just say that if we did not have such a strong friendship, one would have died at the other's hand."
Mya's eyes only widen at this, "Shit, it was that serious?"
"Be glad that you did not see that little altercation because you would have seen both me and Kai in a very bad light, a light you should never see either one of us in," Ray being very honest about that because no one really deserves to see that malice side of Kai, and Ray is also not about to tell Mya that they have also fought over her and that Kai has very strong feelings for her.
"You make it sound like you two have turned into some type of monsters, Ray."
"Not physically but mentally, yes, we did. Anyway, forget about it; you just remember to use protection when you and Mikhail get down and dirty because one baby on the way right now is more than enough for me."
Mya only laughs at this because she does not really know what to say to that nor how to feel, other than that she is very disappointed in Kai knocking up some woman.
It is Friday morning now, and it is now almost a week since she has last seen Kai, the last time being down in The Chamber after he had killed Brooklyn, and Mya is also disappointed in that because she wanted Kai to be dead by now.
She also did not even dare to ask where the big boss is so that she can avoid any suspicion should she have ran into Kai and succeeded in killing him.
Mya is rather pissed that Brooklyn is dead because she wanted to kill the backstabbing bastard with her own hands, and it again is something that Kai has robbed her of. According to Ray, Brooklyn did not die peacefully, and that Kai and Tala had gone out of their way to make an example out of Brooklyn.
Ray also told her that they had chopped up the other people who were working alongside Brooklyn in betraying the mob, Ray being one of the men who had helped chop up the bodies after killing them, and although Mya will not admit this out loud, but when Ray had told her this, he had a certain look in his eyes which made her feel very uncomfortable; it had looked like Ray had really enjoyed killing those men and then chopping up their bodies into pieces, and she cannot picture Ray as some insane killer who laughs hysterically as he swings an axe through human flesh.
Mya can only shudder while thinking of Ray in that light, this friendly Chinese man covered in blood as he continues to chop up a body into many pieces while laughing as he does that horrendous deed.
Just then Ray's phone suddenly rings which brings her quickly out of her train of thoughts, she suddenly very relieved about the sudden intrusion. She does not listen in on the conversation but she can easily hear how Ray's demeanour is changing, so whoever is on the other end of the line did not call with good news.
Mya pretends to go on with her work after sitting up straight in front of the computer once more while Ray continues with his upsetting phone call.
Ray finally ends the call and he slams his phone onto the table, this followed by a few colourful words, and Mya just asks what is wrong.
"I have to fly to Budapest this very minute; this shit has to stop because it cannot go on like this any longer," Ray says but it seems like he is saying it more to himself than to Mya.
Ray gets up and picks up his phone once more where he quickly dials a number, and while Ray waits for the other person to pick up, he turns to Mya, "Will you be able to cope with all of this because I have to leave now, and I will be gone for about three days."
"Sure."
"Kai, yeah we have to talk now," Ray suddenly says and he only waves at Mya before he makes his way towards the door so that he can leave the study, "we need to find a solution..." and that is all that Mya manages to hear before the door is closed after Ray walks out.
Mya cannot help but be curious about the current conversation between Kai and Ray, and what's more, what the hell does Ray need to do in Budapest? As far as she knows, Hungary is not part of their territory; that part actually belongs to Valerie and even though she reports to Ray, he does not need to fly out there.
'I wonder what is really going on?'
77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
Kai tosses his cell phone carelessly onto his office desk and then he starts to rub his eyes because he can feel a headache coming on from all of this unnecessary stress; it seems that the unexpected execution of Brooklyn has brought on a few problems of its own and Kai is really not in the mood to deal with it now, but he knows that he cannot ignore it.
'I will take care of this later, just not now because I have too many things to take care of right now,' Kai thinks to himself while he sits with his hair in hands and stares down at the surface of his office desk.
Just then the door of his office is opened very rudely and Valeria comes stalking in with Vera right behind her, the elder woman very pissed at the blonde haired woman, "I told her that you are busy and that she cannot see you right now, but she refuses to listen, Mr Hiwatari."
Kai looks at Vera, "It's okay, Vera, and I apologise for her poor manners."
Vera only nods her head at Kai and then she glares at the back of Valeria before leaving the office.
"You will show her respect, Valeria; she is a very good woman."
Valeria snorts at this while she crosses her arms in front of her chest, "Whatever; she is nothing of me so I do not have to show her anything."
Deciding that he is rather going to ignore that little remark of hers, Kai takes a deep breath before asking Valeria what she is doing here.
She says nothing and only walks to his desk to throw an envelope in front of him after removing it from her purse.
"What is this?" is all that Kai asks while he looks down at the envelope.
"Open it, Kai."
Kai sighs tiredly but he takes the envelope anyway and he opens it, and after removing the piece of paper and looking at it very attentively, he cannot help but smile at the image that is the on the paper. It is a sonogram of his first child, and Kai cannot help but feel happy about this, although he does not know why Valeria has had it done now seeing as the appointment was only next week, and it was agreed that they both would be present at the appointment.
"I thought we were going to go together for the sonogram next week."
"That was the plan, but they called me this morning because they had an opening, and so I decided that I may as well go now, and now you have the proof that I am expecting your child, Kai."
Kai says nothing as he continues to look at the picture of his baby, Kai suddenly becoming overwhelmed with all types of feel good emotions. He gets up and walks over to Valeria, and allowing his euphoric emotions to control him, Kai takes Valeria into his arms where he pulls her close to him and he holds her tight within his arms.
"I cannot wait for this baby to come, Valeria; it will be the happiest day of my life," Kai says in a soft tone as he speaks into Valeria's hair, she only grinning at this while she also has her arms tight around Kai's body.
The two lovers continue to stand in this position for a while longer before Kai pulls away and he goes down on to his knees, and while being on his knees, he takes Valeria by the hips and he starts to kiss her stomach because Kai is suddenly so overwhelmed about becoming a father, he feeling so overwhelmed that he does not care who the mother is; his first child is currently growing in this body and he is going to treat this body with the upmost care and respect.
After kissing Valeria's stomach a while longer, he again stands up where he captures Valeria's lips in a tender kiss, and she can only smile at this because it finally seems that she has captured Kai's heart, and that he now will truly care for her in a manner she has been yearning for, for so long now.
Kai pulls away from the kiss and instead he picks her up where he carries her to the couch, he taking a seat with her in his arms, but soon Valeria positions herself on Kai's lap where the two become locked in a very passionate kissing session, and Valeria hopes that it will lead to the two of them doing it right here in the office of Kai, and hopefully Kai will do it without a condom.
She is still pissed at him for calling out another woman's name but she is willing to overlook that little mistake because Kai is finally convinced that she is indeed pregnant with his child, and hopefully that will take Kai's mind off of the other woman, no matter who she is.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
She can hear a knocking sound but she cannot place where it is exactly coming from; it isn't until she hears voices when she realises just where she exactly is. She can feel how Kai is stirring behind her while he talks to someone, Valeria hearing that it is a woman that he is talking to and now she knows who it is, it being that annoying personal assistant of Kai, the old woman. Valeria keeps her eyes closed while she tries to drown out their voices, more specifically the old woman's voice; Kai's voice she will always welcome, day or night.
Finally, after Valeria begs in her mind for the old woman to get a move on, she hears how the door of Kai's office closes once more, and now Kai is pulling her even closer to his body while still keeping his arms wrapped around her.
They never did do it after Kai sat down on the couch; they only kissed for a while before Kai said that all he wants to do now is to lie with her in his arms, and Valeria could not be happier after hearing him say this. She has always longed for Kai to be compassionate with her, like a man should be with a woman; sure, she loves the sex but she still remains a woman with a heart who also longs for intimacy with her man other than just having sex all the time. She also wants to feel safe in his embrace, wants to relish in the feel of having his arms wrapped around her body in a gentle and caring manner while they just lie in absolute silence, a comfortable silence surrounding them as they stay in this intimate position.
Valeria can't help but to smile when Kai nuzzles her neck; she has no idea how long they have been in this position or when she exactly dozed off; all that she knows is that she is content with her life now, even if she is currently living a lie. The silver blonde haired woman knows that she cannot lie to Kai forever about the supposed baby but that is why she is so insistent on getting him to have sex without protection so that she can get pregnant for real. She has left her contraception a long time ago in the hopes of getting pregnant so that she can have Kai forever, but so far that plan has not gone down as smoothly as she had wanted and hoped for.
Still, having Kai hold her like this right now makes up for that, and also for the fact that he did not call her once this week to apologise for calling out another woman's name; that had really hurt her, more than she wants to admit because it just showed her once again that Kai sees her nothing more than just a good lay.
"You awake?" Valeria suddenly hears behind her, Kai asking it in such a soft manner.
"Yeah; did we fall asleep or what?"
"We must have, because it is almost time for my meeting which begins at 12 'o clock and it is already half past 11."
"Then I should probably get going," Valeria says, and just as she is about to get up, Kai pulls her back to him where he kisses her in her neck, Valeria only smiling as she takes in the feel of Kai's toned chest pressing up against her back while his natural heat radiates through their clothes.
"Five more minutes," Kai softly mutters against her hair.
Valeria says nothing and she proceeds to make herself more comfortable in Kai's arms while thinking of how blissful this is right now with the two lying in this position.
"I will take a day off from work somewhere next week so that we can go and look at various homes," Kai says against Valeria's hair, and she can hardly contain her excitement.
Valeria turns around so that she can face Kai, and he only kisses her the moment they are face to face.
"Are you sure, Kai?"
Kai nods his head while nuzzling Valeria's nose, "I want you both happy and safe, and it will be for the best if we start living together so that we can experience this pregnancy together," and Kai places his right hand on her stomach to show that he is telling the truth.
Valeria cannot believe her ears; can this really be the same Kai Hiwatari she had met that night in Ray's club? Who knew that a single sonogram of a baby can change Kai so drastically? If she had known this, she would have faked a pregnancy a long time ago.
"I am looking forward to living with you, Kai," Valeria kissing Kai after saying this to him as he again takes her into both of his arms while he deepens the kiss.
However, Valeria breaks away from the kiss to remind Kai of his meeting, and he reluctantly lets her go and watches how she gets up and makes herself look crease free once more.
"Do you want to keep the sonogram?"
Kai nods his head while he keeps lying on the couch.
"I guess I will see you later then," Valeria says after getting her purse, she leaning down to kiss Kai goodbye before making her way towards the door.
"I will call you," is all that Kai says to her before she leaves through the door after giving him a small wave.
After she is gone, Kai also gets up so that he can light himself a cigarette, and after lighting it and taking a few drags, Kai takes the sonogram in his hand so that he can look at his unborn baby once more. Kai only smiles as he looks down at this small human that is currently growing inside of Valeria. Kai has no idea how many months along she is, but it must be rather early because Kai can see that it has not developed fully yet, although the definite form of a human body is clearly visible.
Kai has no words to describe how he is currently feeling; all he knows is that he is over the moon about the fact that he is really going to be a father. At first he did not want to accept it seeing as there was no real proof and he was still hurting because of Mya, but now that he has seen the image of the baby, of his baby, he just has to be happy about it, it is almost a natural thing to him to suddenly feel so ecstatic about his unborn child.
Kai can't help but think of what his grandfather would have said, 'No doubt that you would have been very happy, grandfather; you probably would have insisted on us getting married right away and before the birth so that the baby is not born outside of wedlock, but you also would have gone out of your way to make sure that we were very happy and comfortable and not short of anything. It is times like these that I regret killing you, grandfather, because now I would have given anything just to tell you that you are going to be a great-grandfather, a privilege that is not bestowed on to many. I am almost certain that you would have been happier than me about this child, grandfather.'
Kai sighs as he looks up from the sonogram towards the outside world of his office, 'What I would not have given if you were the one carrying my child, my sweet Ana; then I would have been truly happy about becoming a father.'
Kai again looks down at the sonogram but this time he is looking for the doctor's name and the date of when the sonogram has been done. Kai sees that it had been done Wednesday, and he also sees the doctor's name. Kai wants to find out where the place of this doctor is located so that he can go and check out this doctor himself to see whether he or she will be good enough to take care of his unborn child. He may not see Valeria as a life companion, but she is still carrying his child and for that he will make sure that she gets the best treatment that money can buy.
Kai presses on the intercom of his telephone to call Vera to his office, and within less than a minute, the elder woman comes walking into the office.
"You called for me, Mr Hiwatari?"
Kai motions for Vera to come closer, the elder woman doing as she is told and the moment she is next to Kai, Kai shows her the sonogram.
"Is this what I think it is?" she asks while looking at Kai in a motherly manner, to which Kai only grins at.
"I am going to be a father, Vera."
Vera immediately embraces Kai, he also hugging the woman back very tightly, "I am so happy for you, my boy; oh what a glorious day! My baby Kai is going to be a papa!" the woman cries while she is still holding Kai in her motherly embrace, Kai also showing no sign of wanting to let her go.
No doubt that Kai has already changed somewhat after seeing the picture of his unborn child, because he never would have been caught dead in such an embrace here at work, no matter who it is that he is embracing.
"I am really, really happy for you, Kai; children are one of the biggest blessings one can ever receive for our Heavenly Father."
Kai says nothing to this because he knows Vera is a devoted Christian and he has always respected her for that; unfortunately, Kai is not one to delve in any type of religion because he cannot do what he does if he should follow a religion, hence why he ignores all types of religion.
"This Sunday I am going to say a special prayer for you and your new family, Kai, and I am going to pray that our Mighty God will protect you and your lady friend, and that you both will look after this baby to the best of your capabilities."
"Thank you, Vera," is all that Kai says to that.
Vera releases Kai from her embrace but she still keeps him at arm's length, "I know that you will make a good father because you have your grandfather in you, my boy, and you had him as your father, so I know that this baby will only get the best love and care that any kid can ask for."
Kai only smirks at that, "I will try my best, Vera. I also want to ask you a favour, Vera."
"Anything, my boy," Vera says, she not even caring that she is not calling Kai 'Mr Hiwatari' anymore, but Kai does not mind, because he grew up in front of Vera and she will always remain a type of mother figure in his life, so she can call him anything that her heart desires.
"I want you to find out where the offices are located of this doctor, a Doctor Y Malikova; I want to see whether he or she is qualified enough to look after Valeria and our unborn baby, and whether I should start looking for another doctor."
"Already speaking like a caring and proud father, Kai; I will get on it, my boy, and again, congratulations, Kai."
Vera gives Kai a final hug before leaving the office with a broad smile on her face.
Kai only chuckles to himself because of how Vera had reacted like any typical woman as soon as a pregnancy has been confirmed, 'Maybe the pregnancy will be the best thing that has happened to me.'
Kai completely forgot about his cigarette which had burned itself out by now while he was talking to Vera, but it does not matter now; there is anyway no time for another one because he has to leave for the boardroom for the meeting.
Kai looks at the sonogram one last time before folding it up gently and placing it in his wallet, right before the small photo of the Grekov family.
Kai gathers all that he needs for the meeting and then e makes his way towards the door, he still feeling overwhelmed about the news of him officially becoming a father.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Mya rubs her eyes after switching off the computer screen, she feeling rather pissed at herself for spending the entire day in front of this computer and all of that so that she can finish her work in one day. She also could have come in tomorrow but as her mother had always said, 'if you can do it now, do it now so that tomorrow you can have fun; obligation before playtime,' and Mya will always remember those words, especially now seeing as she has a lot of work on her hands now a days, but she is not complaining.
At least now she knows that tomorrow she can do other stuff, maybe even get away for the day or something.
Mya looks towards the window and she sees that it is completely dark outside, and after looking at the clock and seeing the real time, she only groans to herself because it is almost time for the new day to start.
"11:54; did I really just spend more than 12 hours in front of this damned computer? And I thought the mob world was supposed to be fun."
Mya puts all of the papers in a neat stack before gathering all of her crap and then she makes her way out of the office, Ray's office. Mya tries to walk as fast as she can to her truck so that she can race home; fortunately the streets will be quiet this time of night so she will be able to get home in less the amount of time that she always takes.
In no time is Mya in her truck and she finally starts her truck, Slipknot's music blaring over the speakers, but she does not turn down the volume. She puts the truck into gear and finally makes her way down the driveway that leads from the back of the manor to the front, but just as she drives into the front part of the manor, Mya hits the breaks hard, she hitting them so hard that the tires of her truck skids on the pebbles as the truck comes to a stop, and the reason for the abrupt stop is because Mya has spotted Kai's 1976 Pontiac Firebird parked in his usual spot where he always parks whenever he is at the Feniks manor.
Without thinking twice, Mya puts her pick-up truck in reverse and she reverses with one hell of a speed while the music of Slipknot is filling her veins with its beauty. The truck comes to an abrupt stop, Mya clenching the steering wheel as she takes a couple of deep breaths because after seeing Kai's car here, she knew that it is now or never; Kai is going to die tonight.
She reaches for her glove compartment where she removes a Garrot wire which has two mini-medieval double bladed axes on each end, it being a gift from Yurik before she had joined The Chernyy Feniks, and now this gift is going to be the death of Kai tonight.
Fortunately for her, there does not seem to be a lot of people here at the manor, and she only hopes that Kai is not in bed with some woman, otherwise it will be very difficult in getting to him.
'Oh well, if I have to kill some skank, then so be it. Maybe I can even make it look like a murder-suicide, and in that way everyone will think that the slut had killed Kai and then killed herself. Wouldn't that just be awesome?'
Mya skips the tracks on the Iowa CD of Slipknot to a track called 'Gently' and she closes her eyes as she listens to it, the somewhat dark beat flowing through her body and mind which calms her nerves in a manner. She inhales deeply as the guitar riff in the beginning of the song begins, she keeping her eyes closed while she takes in the beat of the song, she acting like someone who has gone on one hell of a drug induced trip and enjoying every little bit of it.
She listens to the song a bit longer before opening her eyes once more, those spring green coloured of eyes showing the determination of her being more than ready to get rid of Kai for once and for all.
After taking another deep breath and exhaling, Mya gets out of her pick-up truck, Garrot wire in hand, as she makes her way towards the manor once more.
She has removed her jackets in the truck and has braced the cold for a brief moment because she wants to move around as stealthily as possible; she knows that there are cameras but hopefully there will be no cameras in the rooms. Mya kicks her shoes out at the door and she continues to tip toe on her socks.
She reaches the stairs in no time but for some unknown reason, Mya cannot shake the feeling that she should start in Kai's personal study, call it her woman's intuition combined with the instincts of a killer, and she will not ignore it.
Still, very stealthily, she makes her way towards Kai's personal study, and to her surprise, the door is slightly ajar, Mya seeing that the light is on inside of the study which indicates that someone is in there and she hopes and prays that it is Kai, and just thinking of Kai being in there causes the black haired woman to smirk to herself.
She looks through the small opening and now she grins because she sees that Kai is indeed in his study and he that is fast asleep on the couch that is lined against the wall. After looking behind her and making sure that no one else is there that can see her sneak into the study, she sneaks into the room and closes the door but not to the point of where it makes the 'click' noise as soon as it is completely closed; she just does not want anyone to peek into the room.
Kai is lying with his head towards the door's direction, both of his hands resting on his chest while his head is drooped to his left side.
Quietly, Mya tip toes towards Kai, the Garrot wire in her hands ready to strangle him, and Mya cannot help but feel beyond happy that she is finally going to take his life.
'Maybe that was the reason why I could not kill him in the beginning; it was because I have never taken a life, but now that I am over that hump, it is not so difficult anymore.'
Mya can feel how her heart is beating vigorously within her chest, this being for two reasons: excitement and nervousness, all at the same time.
Mya finally reaches Kai and she can hear his shallow breathing which indicates his sleeping body, and Mya lowers her hands as she gets ready to strangle Kai; her hands are as still as they can be as she slowly and quietly starts to lower the wire towards Kai's exposed neck, she already envisioning Kai's horrified face when he realises that he is about to die by her hand.
The wire is just about to touch his neck when Mya looks down at his hands and she sees that he is holding a piece of paper in his hand, and curiosity getting the better of her, she looks closer and she sees that it is a sonogram with a tiny baby on it, and she realises that it is his baby, Kai's baby that is slowly growing in someone's stomach and clearly he is looking forward to the birth of his child because he fell asleep with the sonogram in his hand, and just like that, Mya retracts her Garrot wire and she takes a step back, her eyes still fixed on the sonogram.
A man that is not excited about the birth of his child will never do this; he will never fall asleep with the sonogram in hand, and even though Mya does not want to admit it, Kai does seem excited about the arrival of his child.
'How can I kill a father to be? I know that the bastard does not deserve to have kids, but that innocent child does not deserve to grow up without a father. I will never be able to forgive myself knowing that I have ruined an innocent child's life, despite the father of that child being a heartless killer.'
With a defeated sigh, Mya takes another couple of steps away from Kai while she keeps her eyes on Kai's sleeping form, 'Well, Hiwatari, it seems that your unborn child has just saved your life, and I guess that this also means that my plans of killing you have been stopped, indefinitely.'
Mya turns her attention to the sonogram one last time before turning around and leaving the study so that she can go and sulk at her penthouse. Mya has no idea how she should feel right now; there is no doubt that she will not try and kill Kai again because she has missed her shot a while back already and she will never get another chance ever again for as long as that child lives and breathes, and she only has herself to blame for that.
'What the hell am I suppose to do now?'
77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
Kai suddenly stirs in his sleep and he groggily opens his eyes as he could have sworn he has just felt another presence in the room. He sits up straight and rubs his eyes to see clearer but he sees no one else in the room or any evidence that someone had been there.
Kai again looks at the sonogram that he is still holding in his hand and he can only smile to himself for the thousandth time today as he looks upon the body of his unborn child.
"I cannot wait to cradle you in my arms, my little one."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Their bodies are perspiring while they continue to pant for air, her lips parted as she keeps moving her hips back and forth, she not missing a single beat as she continues to grind her pelvic area against her lover's pelvic area, and she feels how he is filling her over and over again, and she cannot get enough of it.
His large manly hands are on her hips while she has her hands pressed firmly onto his chest as they continue with their naked dance of lust and desire with each other.
Her throat feels cold on the inside due to the lack of air, and she knows that soon she will start making rasping voices if she does not slow down, but she just cannot because she is so close to the edge, so close to have all of her senses explode in a ray of pure pleasure, and until that has not happened, there is no way she is going to slow down now, no matter how much her body is begging for her to stop.
Valeria once again throws her head back while still continuing to grind against Kai, the business mogul keeping his eyes on his lover as yet another orgasm rips through her body and her pleasure filled orgasmic moan is music to his ears, that accompanied with the feel of her inner cavern clenching around his still thrusting member. Kai cannot take his eyes off of Valeria while she comes, and the sight before him is so sexy and so beautiful.
Her hair is a compete mess because of all the sweat and rolling around on the bed, and her breasts are bouncing with each movement that her body makes, her voice already broken as she pants for proper air due to pure exhaustion, but it is not enough reason for them to stop just yet.
It is late Saturday afternoon and Kai and Valeria have practically spent the entire day in bed. Ever since Kai has seen the sonogram, he just wants to be with Valeria and their unborn child, he not wanting the two of them out of his sight or hold for even a second. He now finally understands what Tala had meant by saying that becoming a father is the best feeling in the world; Kai cannot deny it. He just feels so completely different, like he has under gone some type of personality change during the night; there is no thoughts of obtaining more and more power, nor is there any thoughts of killing and slaughtering everyone who looks wrong into his direction. Kai is truly happy with the fact of becoming a father, and he is now actually happy that Valeria has gotten pregnant; sure, she is no Anastasia Grekov, but for the sake of their child, Kai is willing to make it work with Valeria.
Valeria tilts her head forward once more as she comes down from her high, her hands just resting on Kai's chest while she comes to grip with everything around her. Kai still cannot take his eyes off of Valeria's naked and sweaty body, her breasts lifting up and down as her chest continues to heave for air.
Kai abruptly sits up straight and he pulls Valeria's upper body against him so that her breasts can press up against his skin, and with his left hand on her back, right between her shoulder blades, and with his right hand on her lower back, Kai keeps her supported as he gently scrapes his teeth all along the skin of her neck, this causing Valeria only to gasp out and to press her fingers even deeper into the skin on his back where her hands are currently positioned at.
Kai again starts to thrust into Valeria while he kisses and teases her neck area, he not able to get enough of her. He is getting completely absorbed into the sensation of feeling how her breasts move against his skin with every thrust into her body, along with her nails digging into his skin in such a sensual manner.
Kai momentarily pulls away from his kissing to look down and he can only smirk when he sees how he is fully immersed within Valeria, this sight just adding to the already mind-blowing pleasure. Kai can feel how her long locks brush against the skin of his arms and hands, and he again has to admit to himself that she truly is a beautiful woman, with her perfect body, perfect face, perfect hair, perfect everything; it is like her body has been picked from various parts of the most beautiful women in the world, and then has been put together in some lab, the final result being this goddess in his arms right now, and this goddess is currently carrying his child.
Kai is also heaving a little but he can go a bit longer before he also finishes. With one swift movement, Kai has Valeria on her back with him positioned between her legs, he not leaving her cavern once during the position change, and the moment the two of them are comfortable once more, Kai continues with his thrusting into her, Valeria wrapping her legs securely around Kai's body as he continues to please her all over again.
Kai is resting his head on Valeria's right shoulder with his arms wrapped around her, Valeria also having her arms wrapped around Kai as the two get caught up in this intimate position. Kai lifts his head from her shoulder and he starts to kiss her in a very passionate manner, and Valeria cannot help but to moan out into his mouth as his toxic kisses are just adding to the assault of pleasure on her almost completely exhausted body, and in turn Kai grunts into her mouth as he too is overtaken by yet another wave of pleasure.
Kai can feel that his peak is not so far off anymore, and so he perches himself up by his arms after breaking away from the passionate kissing, this pulling away from Kai causing Valeria to place her hands right below his shoulder blades so that she can feel how his toned muscles flex with each and every move that his body makes, her fingers again digging into his skin, his tattooed skin, as Kai starts to go faster and harder into her.
She arches her upper body and Kai can only look down at her face, that absolutely gorgeous face of hers with her eyes closed and those luscious lips of her being slightly parted as she continues to heave for air.
He is getting closer and closer, Kai also closing his eyes as he slightly lowers his head, and he thrusts even faster into Valeria as he grunts in between, he listening to the various sounds that are coming from him and Valeria: the naked skin slamming against naked skin, the sexy female moans coming from Valeria mixed with his own manly grunts, and while listening to these sounds with his eyes closed, Kai finally reaches his peak, and all senses and feel immediately seizes within his body as he releases his essence into Valeria.
Valeria both senses and feels how Kai comes and she opens her eyes so that she can look up at her lover, and she sees how Kai's forehead frowns with his eyes closed as his crisis also assaults his body, and she welcomes everything of him into her body, even if it is still into a condom, much to her dismay.
Kai's entire body shudders as his crisis passes and he remains in his exact same position while he comes to grips with everything. Kai still has his eyes closed but he slowly opens them when he feels a gentle touch on his left cheek and upon opening his eyes, he looks directly into Valeria's beautiful eyes as she smiles up at him, her legs trembling as they are still wrapped around Kai's body.
Without thinking twice, Kai leans down and kisses Valeria but it is only a chaste kiss as he does not have the right amount of oxygen to make out with Valeria right now. Beads of sweat is running down his face while his hair sticks to his skin, his legs also trembling now as he is still immersed within Valeria.
The two lovers continue to look each other in the eye, and Kai also cannot resist a smile as he also smiles down at Valeria, this wanting to make Valeria cry out of sheer happiness because Kai has never looked at her in that manner, and it sure feels good to have Kai smile at her like that.
Kai finally musters the energy to remove himself from Valeria, and the moment he does, he drops down next to Valeria in a careless manner, he still heaving a little.
Valeria remains on her spot but she suddenly misses the feel of having Kai move within her, but hopefully in about an hour's time, they will go at it again seeing as it has been all that they have been doing up until now. To Valeria's surprise, Kai pulls her closer to him where he holds her in his arms, Valeria resting her head on his chest with her left arm draped over his waist while she relishes in this cuddling with Kai, because it has not happened before.
Sure, they had slept in the same bed many times before and there were many nights where Kai would wake her up by kissing her all over her body, but it was never in a loving manner, always in a passionate and lustful manner, and a woman does not want that all the time.
Passion is a good thing, but a woman craves for some gentle loving from her lover every now and then, and her body needs to be loved in a loving manner, but with Kai it had never happened. Whenever they had finished having sex, Kai and she would just lie in bed without cuddling; he would lie on his side, and she would lie on her side, and every time she would even attempt to move closer to him, he would abruptly get up to go and smoke, and even though she had never showed it or had said anything regarding this matter, it had hurt her that Kai did not care about her in an emotional manner.
There were times where she had thought that maybe it would be for the best if she forgets about Kai, but then he comes over and he takes her once more, and then all she can think about is how great the sex is and how he pleasures her over and over, and yes, the sex is unbelievable, but sometimes a woman does crave for something deeper and more meaningful.
Kai is not boyfriend material; that Valeria has seen over and over again. Since they have met, Kai has not once invited her to a dinner, or to a theatre show, or even taken her to the movies; everything had come from her side. The only reason why she was at his 30th birthday party was because she saw the congratulations in the newspaper and she had hounded Kai to let her come with him, and after days of pestering him about it, he finally agreed but he did not make a secret of how displeased he was about it, but she just shrugged it off. Fortunately for her, that evening was very pleasurable as he had showed her off to everyone, even if he was drunk most of the time; at least she had felt wanted that evening.
Kai never takes her anywhere; she always has to force Kai to take her with him, and Valeria knows that she deserves more, but her love for money and power, and also for Kai's exceptional bed skills, makes it impossible for her to want to let him go, and now that she is supposedly pregnant with his child, it seems that she will have Kai with her forever. She is not complaining, especially after Kai has changed dramatically after seeing the sonogram.
Valeria only has one real dilemma right now and that is getting a real baby. She has to think of how she can get pregnant for real; getting pregnant with another man's child is not going to help because Kai may want to have tests done to see whether it really is his baby or not, so that option is out. The other solution is getting Kai to do it with a condom which has failed up until now seeing as Kai is glued to his rubbers.
'Now how the hell am I going to pull this off? Kai is going to want to see my stomach grow, so I have to get pregnant in real life if I want to continue with this charade. There has to be something that I can do?'
Just then Kai removes his arm from around Valeria and she moves away, and then she watches how Kai finally removes the condom from his limp penis, Valeria seeing how filled the rubber is with his essence, and just then a light bulb goes off inside of Valeria's head, and she can only grin at the idea.
'Of course! How could I not have thought about it earlier?! I can just use the seed from the discarded condoms, and with artificial insemination, I can put Kai's sperm into my body and then I will definitely get pregnant with Kai's child.'
Valeria continues to lie and watch at how Kai wraps up the condom and then throws it into the dustbin, her eyes shining with victory as she will give Kai a real baby, and then they truly will be a family and Kai will finally see her as his one and only true love.
Okay, this chapter was a bit boring compared to the last one and I am afraid there will be a few more boring ones to come but they are all needed.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this chapter and what you thought of Mya almost killing Kai, but again stopping.
Just a quick note: I am travelling tomorrow hence why the early update, and will be gone until the 29th, so I will be back in time for the next update, but I will not be able to respond to any reviews, but will try when I get back, but I can't promise anything.
Anyway, take care and lots of love and blessings to you all ;-D
