Ibrahim's POV
Fuck! Why on fucking earth do I have to fuck everything up?
"Shit" I looked at Dimitri. He ran his hand through his hair messing it up.
"How on earth did we forget it?" He muttered. I looked at my phone and decided to answer it.
"Hello," I put it on speaker mode.
"Haven't you heard sneaking into someone's property isn't very nice, Mazur?" I heard that bastard's voice. I smirked.
"How the fuck do you know?" I asked him in a very frustrated voice.
He laughed.
"Well, let's just say that I have a good hacker, and seems like without your beautiful daughter, Rose you're nothing," He mocked.
"Don't you dare tell her name with that fucking mouth of yours," I told him through gritted teeth.
He laughed again.
"Why the hell not? Don't worry I'll find her first and then, she'll be working for me," I had a huge urge to laugh at his face.
"What makes you think that she'll work for you, even if you find her?" I asked him.
"I'll make her," He told and then the line went off.
"Bastard," I heard Dimitri saying.
"Oh, how I wish I could tell him," Ivan told.
"Anyway, let him enjoy the moment, we have to apologize to Rose. Fuck! How on earth did we forget our plan?" I told them. They shrugged.
"Flowers, chocolates, or anything else?" Ivan asked us.
"Maybe just an apology, would be enough," Dimitri told and I nodded.
"Come on, now or never," I told them and they followed me.
When we came near her room the first thing I noticed was that a beautiful voice is coming from the inside indicating that she was singing.
"When you feel my heat
look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide,
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide"
It was so beautiful. So so beautiful. I know where she got her voice. No, not from her mother but me. I don't think even she knows about it. I stopped singing after Janine's death. I knew Rose liked music, but I still thought she'd choose IT for her higher studies. I never thought she'd choose music and literature. Her singing like this reminds me of good old times. Way back years ago when I used to sing to Janine, when I used to be more of a man.
"Mazur," I turned to Dimitri. He nodded towards the room I stepped out of my thoughts and knocked on the door.
"Come in," I heard her voice. She was turning her back to us when we entered her room, placing her guitar back in her case.
"Rose," I called her.
"Hmm?" She responded, at least.
"We all are very sorry for what we told you," I told her.
"Are you?" She asked turning to us. We nodded. She sighed.
"Did you hear I sing?" She asked and I looked at her and nodded.
"It was very beautiful," Ivan told her quickly.
"Thank you," She said.
"That's one of the songs I have to sing on of my big days, this is the time I usually practice, alone without no one knowing, I sing to walls, to water from the shower or to my lilies, I make sure to practice every day without fail. No matter how tired or sad or angry or happy I am I manage to do that, at least for 3 minutes a day, and do you know why? No? Well because it always manages to give me some kind of an inner satisfaction I can't even describe to you, No one and nothing can stop me from this," She told us.
Why is she telling us this? What kind of a point is she trying to make?
"But I haven't done this since the day I came here. That's how much I want Robert down. Giving up on one of the most important things in my life. It might sound so idiotic but that's who I am. And that is just one thing. I'm giving away my freedom, my life I love so much, and start lying to so many people risking their lives making sure I'm not making a single mistake. I'm not telling you that I'm the person who's doing the hardest but I'm doing hard more than enough under every circumstance."
She stopped and breathed heavily.
"So all I'm asking from you is to remember that, remember that you aren't the only person who's working your ass off to make this right, that you aren't the only person who wants the same person, and that most importantly I'm not working for you," She finished releasing a heavy breath.
"We all are extremely sorry, Rose, you did nothing wrong it was on our side and we know that we shouldn't have told you that and we promise that we'll try not to ever repeat that," Dimitri told her. She closed her eyes for a minute and opened them to look at us.
"What did he say?" She asked.
"Private," That's all I said she nodded. We left to the study room back again.
"He doesn't know that you're here with us, and he wants you. He wants to find you," I told her as she sat down.
"Sick bastard!" She muttered under her breath.
"He's here too, why don't we just get rid of him?" Leonid asked. Dimitri shook his head.
"That's a lot dangerous, he always hangs out in publicity if we try to get rid of him we could hurt innocents," He told. I nodded with agreement.
"We have to send him back to Italy," Rose told us after a while.
"Send him back?" Dimitri asked and she nodded.
"We must send him back, for how long am I going to hide? At least until we're settled," She told. She has a point, she's not still used to here, our security is not secure so basically, we're not in a state of protecting anyone.
"Now he thinks you're not with us so why don't we start now?" I told her. Suddenly her eyes widened.
"What..."
"HOLY SHIT!" She yelled making us jump.
"What?" Dimitri asked.
"Now he'll search for me more and more, hell he'll find out about my whereabouts," She told, she's right he will but she's with us.
"Rose, you're with us, what on earth makes you think that we'll not protect you?" Dimitri asked.
"Not me, but my friends and others what about them, your men's families, what about them?" She asked us.
"We'll protect them, don't worry about them," I told her and she hesitated but nodded at last.
"Okay, I'm going to start, Dimitri if Mason's fine ask him to join me, but only if he's fine," He nodded and she started working on it.
"How many days do you think it'll take?"
"I... I don't know, I don't know what I know is that it'll take more than 3 days," She told. I nodded.
ROSE'S POV (NIGHTTIME)
"Rose, dinner?" I looked up to see uncle Pavel with a tray of food. I didn't realize how long it has been. I only took a few breaks all the time.
"What time is it?" I asked him, he looked at his watch and frowned.
"8.30" I gaped at him as he chuckles.
"Here Alberta makes the best lasagna ever," He told me and I took the plate from him.
"Alberta?" I asked him raising an eyebrow.
"The main household," He told and I nodded.
"After I finish this I must take a tour around the house," I told him.
"Yeah, you should," I smiled and looked at the screen in front of me again.
"I'll leave Rose, eat please, and if you need anything just ring the bell," I nodded, he leaned down and kissed the top of my head before leaving the room. I smiled and turn my attention back to the work in front of me.
ON THE SECOND DAY 5.00 A.M.
"Rose," I looked up at Ivan.
"It's 5. maybe you should take a rest?" He asked me and I smiled.
"Just a minute, I have to enter these data, after that, I'll take a rest," I told him.
"Data?" He asked, and I nodded.
"Just a few more and then it's 1/4 of my father's done," I told him.
"1/4?" He asked me with mouth agape. I chuckled.
"Uniting mafia is a bitch!" I told him and he chuckled too.
"I'll bring you a hot choco," I nodded at him.
SECOND DAY NIGHT 8.30
"How's it going?" Father asked me as he entered the room.
"I entered half of your data, it seems like allying with Russians, Robert's attack never stopped you from being the best huh?" I asked with a teasing smile. He smirked.
"I started this when I was only 15, I've faced so many things," He told me. I nodded.
"What happened when you were 15?" I asked him after a moment of silence.
He let out a deep sigh.
"My parents happened. They died in a car accident, I wasn't there with them so after that I became don," He told with furrowed eyebrows. I nodded.
"Anyway, a lot of things are broken, manipulated, and renewed. So I'm adding the data while recorrecting them. That's why it's taking a long time," I told him not wanting to continue the story. He nodded.
"I have to go through some shipments, I'll meet you later if there's anything you want to ring the bell," He told me. I nodded.
THIRD DAY MORNING AT 6.00 A.M.
I yawned again.
"Rose," I looked up at Ivan. He smiled at me and came inside.
"How's it going?" He asked me.
"Good, there is only a very little bit of data on my father's side. After that I can start yours," I told him just then a yawn escaped from my mouth. He frowned at that.
"For how long did you sleep last night?" He asked me. I stiffened, how can I say I didn't? So I decided to avoid the question.
"And after adding your data, I can start making the system officially, which won't..." I continued rambling looking at the screen hoping he won't ask again.
"Don't avoid the question, Rose," A deep voice made me look up again. Which belonged to Dimitri.
When did he come in?
"Can you please make a sound before coming inside?" I asked him. He ignored my question.
"Don't avoid the question, for how long did you sleep last night or I guess it's better if I ask did you sleep at all?" He asked while glaring at me. I glared back hoping that he'll give up but in the end fuck it! I gave up.
"No, I didn't sleep at all yesterday," I told him. What kind of power does he have over me?
"Why don't you go sleep? At least for a few hours?" He asked me.
"I will when I finish entering these," I told him.
"Rose,..." I cut him off.
"I promise that I will," I told them looking into their eyes. They sighed and then nodded.
THIRD DAY NIGHT 8.30
"So?" I looked at my father.
"So, what?" I asked him. He stared at me like I'm an idiot. I sighed.
"If you want to know something create a sentence," I told them. I heard uncle Pavel chuckling.
"How's it going?" My father asked me.
I sighed and leaned back on the chair.
"I've finished entering yours, and started entering Dimitri's," I told them. They nodded. Suddenly my father's phone went off I gave him the annoyed look. He apologized and left the room just then Dimitri and Ivan entered the room.
"How's Mason?" I asked them averting my gaze back to the screen.
"Why are you so interested in his well-being?" I looked up to see Dimitri raising an eyebrow. I took his appearance. He was wearing a navy blue three-piece suit without a tie, hair messed up but still looking handsome as hell! I know it's sarcastic but this man is attractive.
"Two reasons," I told him. He sat down in front of me. His chocolate brown eyes pierced me into pieces.
"Enlighten me," I sighed and leaned back stretching my fingers.
" First, I'm entering your data, so I thought maybe if he's here, we could do it together to avoid any mistakes," I told him slowly spinning from left to right on the chair.
"I thought he provided all the details," He told me furrowing his eyebrows. I smiled slightly.
"He did but I thought it's better if we worked together on this you know, I don't want him to think any less here. I don't want conflict inside the room," I told him. He smiled lightly.
"He won't. He respects you," I smiled looking at my fingers remembering the old times.
"What's the second one?" I looked up at him.
"Hmm?"
He looked up at me.
"You told me two reasons, what's the next one?" I gave him the isn't- it- obvious- look.
"Well, he was sick so I wanted to know if he's alright? I mean he didn't look well that day anyway, so how's he? Is he fine? I thought he has a fever, is it too serious?" I asked him.
He furrowed his eyebrows.
"Since when did you start to care about him so much?" I was taken aback by the question. I am like this.
"What do you mean? I care about him too. After all, we'll work together, and he's nice, friendly, attractive..." I was cut in between.
"Attractive?" he asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Yeah, he's not that bad, I mean I expected him to be scary, rarely speak, badass, high head, person but he's not like that. I don't want to judge him so soon, not after what Jamie did but still, until we take Robert down we have to work together, so it's better we get to know each other," I told him and then looked at the screen once again.
I heard him get up.
"He'll be fine within another few days. He told me that he gave you everything you'll need," I nodded.
I heard him mumbling something but I didn't hear it so I raised an eyebrow at him.
"How much more do you have to do?" He asked me.
"Not even 1/4 of your data are entered into the system," I told him rubbing my forehead.
"No offence but how?" Ivan asked me.
"After entering my father's data I had to secure them making sure nothing will go out, I started entering yours after that," I told him.
"So after entering ours and securing it, is it done?" Leonid asked.
I smirked and looked up at him.
"That's when it begins,"
Here's chapter 11. I'm so sorry it took longer than I expected. Also, make sure you review. I love your response. Whether it's good or bad.
Love you sooo much
