chapter 279
Still believing that what the girl in front of him had just said could be a lie or even was a lie, Finn looked at her menacingly to let her know that if she wanted to make fun of him then she was going to regret it, but Kira wasn’t afraid. Finn left his office, slamming the door, which startled the young woman. She hoped it wouldn’t be long before he came back, because apart from slamming the door, he’d also just locked it as if she were a prisoner, and this was always in comparison to the cellar where Dimitri had first been. she took the trouble to detail the place and nothing frightened her apart from being locked in. going up the stairs two at a time, Finn had arrived at the door to Vlad’s room. He’d done everything he could to calm himself down, and when he was feeling better, he pushed open the door and saw him in Gina’s company. She was playing with him, and it was funny because she grimaced every time the kid told her to do something she didn’t even understand. He’d thought he’d be able to ask Vlad about the Fiodora family, but he seemed to have forgotten his sadness and didn’t want to add to it, so he went out quietly and into the living room. Some of his men were still there and he needed them.
-I’d like you to find some information about the Fiodora family, please, from the grandfather on down, and don’t delay, because Elena’s life is still in danger.
Even Vlad had never mentioned her and he couldn’t understand why, even though she said she was related to them. It was true that when he made Elena sign the contract, it didn’t concern the whole family, but still. Finding the wait long, he asked one of his cooks to fetch some water to his office. he went there to wait for her. she was sitting in her place as if she hadn’t moved an inch since he’d left, and that was already a good thing. wise girl! he sat down opposite her and when the man arrived, he asked him to put the glass in front of his guest and fill it. Kira didn’t understand and distrusted him, for even Dimitri hadn’t given her water when he’d abducted her, and she wondered what Finn had asked to be put in it. a kidnapper who was worried about his victim, it was the very first time she’d seen that in her life.
-You want to kill me or drug me, don’t you?
-I’m not a murderer and I didn’t kidnap you to torture you or to ransom you from anyone, but I kidnapped you so that Dimirti Savoski could free my under protection. it’s quite clear, isn’t it? I’m not that kind of man, miss, and I thought you might need some water to keep you hydrated. I wouldn’t want you to lose your memory because you’re dehydrated. I’m going to need you for something, and it’s best to keep you healthy.
-What if Dimitri doesn’t release her? What would you do?
-I’m going to torture you until he does, and if he still doesn’t release her, then I’ll have confirmation that he doesn’t care about you. I know it’ll be painful to find out, but even when you love someone, business can take a back seat.
He was absolutely right, because from the moment she knew how she felt about Dimitri, she felt ready to do anything for him, but what she wondered was whether he would feel the same way. she wondered whether he would be able to free this young woman he had kidnapped for his own freedom. she didn’t know what stage their relationship was at, and that was precisely what was troubling her. she really loved him, but did he love her then? she told herself that even her kidnapping wasn’t a bad thing, she actually wanted to see if she was deluding herself or if what she thought was true. the door to the beau opened, bringing her back to reality when she hadn’t even had time to drink her glass, which was still lying in front of her.
-Well, sir, we’ve found what you asked for and Paolo Fiodora does indeed have a sister by the name of Kira Fiodora.
the photos were placed on his table, from his childhood to his current age, and he saw that it was indeed her. he was lost, really, because he couldn’t understand what had motivated Dimitri to kidnap Kira’s cousin. he wondered whether he’d been aware that she’d been his cousin before her abduction or not.
-You could have asked me instead of wasting time, and I remember telling you that Vlad is my nephew, so can I ask why you had to ask your gorillas to investigate?
-because I don’t trust you and now I’d like you to tell me something Kira. what do you know about your cousin Elena Montoya?
-You’re not going to tell me that you’ve researched my whole family and now you’ve got them all locked up. -I’m the one you wanted, so why her too? Elena is my cousin. her mother was Russian and her father Neo-Orleans. she decided to come to Russia because she wanted her uncle, who kept forcing her to go to medical school, and before she arrived, I was kidnapped by Dimitri Savoski. i don’t know whether she arrived or not, because he gave me a sense of forbidden communication with my brother, under no pretext that he’s dangerous.
A very nice story, like the ones Finn was used to hearing; a kidnapper who ends up falling in love with his victim, he couldn’t wait to see Savoski before spitting it in his face, but now was not the time to think about it. So he wanted to know why Dimitri had told him that his brother was dangerous, because she didn’t show any signs of physical violence on his part.
-I understand, and to answer your question, I didn’t kidnap your whole family, nor did I kidnap anyone, but I simply reached out to those who needed it, especially your cousin and nephew, as they were victims of the physical violence your brother was carrying out. It’s time to get down to business, like calling Savoski to tell me where he’s hidden Elena.
Kira still couldn’t believe it. Her big brother had always been protective of her and did everything he could to be there for her. He hadn’t really believed it when Dimitri had told her that it was he who had sold her out for a poker game, and now that Finn was saying he’d beaten Elena and Vlad, she didn’t know what to think. She knew it was all Betty’s fault, she was always asking him for large sums of money and as if that woman had eaten his brain, he always saw himself doing everything in his power to please her. when a screen was placed in front of her, Finn stepped behind her and made the call.
-A video call for you, Dimitri,” Youri announced.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
-She’s out there alone and I don’t even know what’s being done to her, so I don’t want to.
-Maybe it has something to do with her. We’ve had time to trace everything and the person hasn’t done anything to protect the call’s transmission. It’s coming from Martinov’s and he’s calling from his own number.
Dimitri was a little confused. He’d thought that the little quarrel between Martinov and himself was long over, but now he realized that he’d been wrong to think that. He picked up the phone and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Kira’s face, but he was reassured when he saw that she hadn’t been hurt and wasn’t afraid either.
-I know you didn’t expect it to be me, Savoski, but it is me, and I want the girl back. You know I’m not a barbarian like you, but I can become one if tempted, so I want the girl you kidnapped yesterday.
-I don’t know what you’re talking about, Marinov, and I don’t have time to play games. I know you’re home right now, and I can attack you if I want to. After all, you’re the one who started all this.
A nervous laugh escaped Finn’s throat as he now looked at Kira like a psychopath. Kira now understood that the ideas running through his head at the moment were not at all clear. If Dimitri made a false move, she was going to lose her cousin too.
-I don’t know if you did it or not, Dimitri, but I want you to find her, not just so I can be freed, but because she’s my cousin. Elena is my cousin from New Orleans, please help her.
-And I’m not going to beg you at all, Savoski, because you were the first to declare war on me. The car used for this operation belongs to you, and I’m certain that if it had been stolen, you’d have moved a finger to look for it. I want Elena by tomorrow morning, or the worst will happen, and if you care at all about the cousin of the woman I care about, get moving.
He didn’t understand at all what his car had to do with all this, and who had dared to take his car away from him to carry out such an operation. He didn’t understand how this girl could be Elena’s cousin, and he hoped that she would really explain it to him, because to say that he understood would be false. it was time to get organized and search the whole of Russia.
