78. Politics!

Author's POV

"I don't know..."

Vlad answered.

Vera looked at him shocked.

"Are you behind this?"

"Before you blame me, let me tell you that I am not behind this... I know how much you believe in self worth..."

He replied.

"I just got the news from hospital committee..."

"How can they make me MD of the hospital?"

She asked in disbelief.

"Zen was MD..."

She called Zen.

"Zen, what the hell is this?"

Vlad snatched her phone and put it on speaker, Vera could see the jealousy in his eyes.

"Congratulations!"

Zen said.

"What's the meaning of this?"

Vera asked.

"I am leaving, Vera..."

Zen replied.

"I can't see you with Vladimir... It hurts to see the treasure you have lost in someone else's hand. I can't see you with him, I can't see the love you carry in your heart for him... It hurts to know that once that love was mine and I couldn't treasure it."

Vlad clenched his jaw.

"But I know that you love him and he is the person who can protect you... I hate to admit it but Vladimir know your worth and he knows how to treat you like a woman so I am going away, where I can't see you with someone else... If I stay here then it will hurt..."

"Why MD?"

She asked. She is glad that at least he realises his mistakes.

"Because you deserve it, I have seen your work and no one is even near you... I know you can handle this responsibility better than anyone. You have that vision and power to change the structure of hospital... And people knows about our rivalry so they don't even whisper about being favoured..."

He chuckled.

"Zen, I don't need this!"

She replied.

"I know you don't need this but that hospital needs you... And I know you are the best choice..."

He replied.

"I am sorry for whatever I did, Vera... I know it's unforgiving but if possible please don't hate me... Goodbye."

"Hello?"

Vera said when he disconnected the call.

"Hello, Zen?"

"Finally he got some sence in his dumb fuck mind."

Vlad rolled his eyes and Vera shook her head. She is still on his lap.

"Congratulations, MD..."

He smiled at her but frowned when she didn't smile back.

"You got this because you deserved it, don't think otherwise. "

"I am sorry, I blamed you..."

She said.

He chuckled and caressed her head while placing it on his chest.

"But still you are not letting me go to the hospital."

She complaint.

"Your fellow doctor will take handover of your patients and you can do the paperwork from home for getting transferred into new position... "

He sighed.

"Please listen to me for few days, my love... I am doing it for your own safety. And if I let you go out then Grace will also demand it, you know her... Please support me till her wedding. "

"Okay! "

She sighed.

"But only for few days. "

He smiled and kissed her head.

"I love you. "

She didn't reply to that and he wasn't complaining. She is there in his arms is enough for him for now.

"Her finace is coming, get ready and come down. I want you to meet him... "

He said and she nodded.

Vlad walked out and saw Michelle.

"What did she say? "

He asked.

"I lied! "

Vlad sighed.

"Dude!..."

He groaned.

"I was right, she won't except it of she learns that I am behind it... I played politics to make her MD. "

Vlad replied.

"And we need to see that fucker, he was talking too much on the phone. "

He clenched his jaw.

"Vera is different, she doesn't like it. "

"Then why did you do it, I mean she was happy with her job. "

Michelle asked.

Vlad shook his head.

"You tell me, Mic. Isn't Vera far much better than Zen. She can change the hospital work structure for better. She is capable of it and not like people go to that position without politics... At least she is deserving one and everyone knows that."

"I am not saying that she is not worth... She is the best but I know that she won't like you controlling it."

He replied.

"Then don't let her find out... Solved! "

He smirked and Michelle shook his head.

"Fine, that guy is waiting for you in the Hall.. Let's go... God bless him after marrying to Grace... "

He chuckled.

Vlad went downstairs and looked at the man who was sitting on the couch with his father. He was looking decent and that goody kind of man whom he can control if it comes to Grace's life.

"Aron! "

He smiled at him.

"Mr. Volkov... Good morning... "

Aron got up and greeted him.

"Grace is waiting for you in the garden... Go, you guys need to talk and know each other before wedding... "

He said and Aron walked out while Vlad sat and talked to his father.

Aron walked out and saw Grace waiting for him.

"Hey... "

Grace turned around and looked at him up and down making him nervous of his own appearance.

"Hi... "

She said bored.

"Okay... "

Aron sighed awkwardly.

"It's just awkward... "

"What's awkward... "

Grace shrugged.

"This is business... You are marrying me because you need power from my brother and I am marrying you because my brother wants me to..."

"You are straight forward... "

He chuckled nervously.

"Yeah, and few things you should know before marrying me... First, don't you ever try to control my life... Second, you will not touch me... Third, do these things and be ready to die in sleep... "

She threatened and walked away.

"What did you say to him?... He looks quite frightened... "

Vera asked her when they came back.

"Nothing we were having fun... "

Grace smiled innocently.

"So, If you both are ready then let's go with the preparations... "

Vlad said.

"Grace, think about it... You don't have to do it just because you think you own it to Vlad... "

Vera said and Grace smiled.

"Don't worry, you know I am a bitch... "

She winked.

"Anyway, there is no man who could have me so easily... "

'Ohh! you don't know, Grace '

Vera thought.
