chapter 277
gradually opening her eyes, Elena had no idea where she was. she felt her head was heavy, yet she wasn’t carrying any weight. she looked more closely at the room she was in and saw that it was a bedroom, not just any bedroom, but a spacious bedroom. She could have imagined that Finn had found her, for she remembered being abducted, but she didn’t know by whom. the room she was in was very different from the decorate she was used to seeing at Finn’s. When she tried to stand up to spy a little more, she found that she was handcuffed to a bed. She was already imagining a lot of things, and it wasn’t at all normal for her to be thinking about such things. She huffed and tried to calm her breathing when she heard voices. When the door opened, she stopped breathing in an attempt to pretend she wasn’t inky awake, and she hoped it would work, because if it didn’t, she didn’t know what she could do to avoid the horror being prepared for her.
-I’m glad she’s finally where she belongs. I think I’d enjoy showing her that I’m a man, and not just any man.
-I’m sorry, Minister, for what I’m about to ask you, but you’re an influential man who can have any woman he wants at his feet, so may I ask why you’ve set your sights on this young woman? I can’t deny that she’s endowed with incomparable beauty, but I still don’t think that’s why she’s here.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
-this magnificent beauty has cost me much more than you can imagine. a lot of money and her imbecile brother thought he could trick me but he didn’t know who he was dealing with. i earn this money hard and i could have excused him but from that night on, i was prepared to do her to myself and they did it to me in reverse, i gave that imbecile Fiodora a second chance but he didn’t listen to me. When I pay money for merchandise, I don’t get money back, only merchandise, and I know that my friend Fiodora knew this perfectly well, yet he took me for a big idiot who was going to give in.
Elena didn’t believe what she was hearing. So her cousin had dared to sell her like a piece of merchandise and even had the courage to take the money. She understood why he’d dragged her off that day without any explanation, it was to leave her at the mercy of this repulsive man and fortunately she’d managed to get rid of him thanks to the vendetta she’d planned for Finn, but she also regretted the reason she’d gone to that nightclub. she’d seen what narcissistic perverts these old goats were, but she couldn’t believe it had gone this far. She had to get out of there, but she didn’t see how she was going to do it since she was handcuffed. She wasn’t the type to hate people, but she was going to hate her cousin for the rest of her life if she didn’t get out of there intact. She didn’t want this man to touch her, and she couldn’t play the girl who was still asleep for long either, because he’d eventually suspect something. she still wanted to know what he’d done with that money, the money in her head to be precise.
-I want to be warned when she wakes up, because I don’t want to miss a minute of owning her. That girl belongs to me now, and only when I’ve used up the money I paid her brother can I set her free.
you pervert,” Elena wanted to shout, but she thought better of it. she’d heard what he’d said, he was going to come back when she woke up and that was a reason for her to sleep for a long time yet. she hoped Finn would act quickly so as not to worry Vlad, who’d witnessed her abduction on this street. when she heard the fat pig leave, she breathed a sigh of relief and opened one eye discreetly, but closed it again just as quickly when she saw the other man standing there staring at her. she wondered what he was still doing there when his friend had already left. she didn’t want to be watched. When she heard him move towards the bed, she began to tremble, and if he ever saw her, she’d be counting the minutes until the tragedy. He stroked her hair, an affectionate gesture that was far from appeasing her, for she knew that psychopaths of his kind always made their victims believe that everything was fine, and it was when they began to believe that they were about to be freed that they were shown the worst horror. she couldn’t let her mind be fooled by this deceptive affection no. when she heard his footsteps move away, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. she’d seen her life go by like that.
The next morning, nothing was right and Finn had spent the night in his office. Vlad had slept very late because he kept saying he was going to wait for his aunt to come back. Sleep had finally engulfed him and Finn had put him to bed. He had gone back to his office to continue his own research, but it had come to nothing because he had searched to see if he had any problems with anyone, but saw no one. He’d tried to retrace Elena’s life from the moment she arrived in Russia, but couldn’t see anything that might be prejudicial to him. she didn’t know anyone and didn’t associate with anyone apart from him. this mysterious disappearance was starting to get on his nerves. when he heard light knocking at the door, he knew it had to be Vlad. he was much earlier than usual, certainly because he’d got up as soon as the pressure of sleep had left him. Finn went to open the door for him and the boy’s gaze swept straight across his desk before meeting his own. He took his hand and led him back inside, then sat him down.
-I’m going to tell you something today, and I know you’ll need it all your life, because you’re a man, Vlad. Patience is a virtue you should have all your life if you want to achieve your chosen ends. I know you’ll often feel that it’s taking a long time, but when it’s taking a long time, it allows you to observe everyone and understand who are the traitors and who aren’t. But when you’re in a hurry, you miss certain leads that can be fatal to you. When your aunt is back, we can play chess and then you’ll understand what I’m trying to tell you, okay?
Vlad nodded without asking for more, for he had just understood that Finn was trying to tell him that he had to be patient, and well, he trusted him blindly to know that he could never deceive him. when another knock sounded at the door, Finn ordered the person to enter and saw his men. he looked at the time on the Rolex on his wrist and saw that it read fifteen minutes to seven. if they were there so early, that would mean they had something new, and he couldn’t wait.
-You go and see Gina big boy, she’ll fix you breakfast and I promise we’ll be together when I’ve finished this, okay?
Vlad nodded and left the office. Finn motioned for his men to come forward, and when they reached him, he saw everyone moving to turn on the office lights.
-So we did a search on the license plate and it wasn’t easy to find the owner, but once we knew who it belonged to, we realized that it was normal for it to be difficult to find.
-I don’t know if you’d like us to play guessing games, but I don’t have time for that, and I promise that once she’s back we’ll be able to play to your heart’s content, but right now, who the hell does this vehicle belong to?
none of the men answered, but they made him look at every piece of information they’d found, and as it scrolled across the screen, Finn became more and more focused. he finally drew his gun, and his men began to back away, looking at him as if they didn’t recognize him at all. He’d become a real mobster since the day he’d had a family, and you couldn’t really blame him. When the last news item came on, he blew up the screen of his projector, howling like a rabid beast. He couldn’t believe that after the first war, this man had considered creating a second war, and he wasn’t about to give up.
-So, Savoski’s decided to play with my balls again. He really took me for a fool to venture onto this playing field, so we’re going to play and by the same token, only one of us will come out of this war alive. I want to know what you’ve been able to find out about him, not what I already know.
-When you were in Cuba, we wanted to know if it was during this period that he was planning the coup, and we were surprised to see that he embarked with a young woman at his side. perhaps a mistress or just a passing fancy, we thought, but Dimitri is personally in charge of this young woman’s safety. he’s attached to her and watches over her night and day.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, thought Finn. He’d hit her where it hurt the most, so he was going to do the same, and like that, this war would be legitimate between the two super giants.
-Where can I find the girl outside Savoski’s property because he attacked me in the street and I have to do the same?
-she’s on campus here, studying medicine, and Dimitri’s in charge of getting her to the campus.
Finn didn’t understand this sudden coincidence. His submissive, whom he’d decided to kidnap, was also a doctor, and now the war was really going to be on the same level and interesting. Maybe this girl was going to look after them during the war and Elena was going to look after Dimitri’s men during the war. He would only respond to Dimitri’s attack because he was the first to provoke him, and he had to expect reprisals. He left his mansion with only two men, as he wanted to go unnoticed.
