83. Shocks!

Veronica's POV

Vlad was sitting on the couch in living room while working on his laptop.

He looked up and I swear I want to smack him so hard that he shouldn't be able to open his mouth for weeks.

He frowned when I entered with sore face and he got up while placing his laptop aside.

"What happened? "

He asked while grabbing my arm gently.

His face looked more concerned than mine and he doesn't even know the problem yet.

As soon as he touched me, my frustration turned into tears. Josh, Vlad's lie and mobile everything came crashing on me and I cried.

"Vera? "

Vlad panicked.

"Look at me,what happened? Who hurt you?"

He pulled me in a tight hug.

My bodyguard entered and informed him on behalf of me.

"Her cell phone got stolen... I am sorry. "

"What the fuck were you doing? "

Vlad growled at him angrily.

"It's not his fault.. "

I broke the hug.

"I asked him to bring me coffee and meanwhile someone stole it."

I don't want that poor man to get punished because of my ignorance.

"Did you see their face? "

Vlad asked and I shook my head.

"Which area? "

"In front of hospital"

Bodyguard answered.

"You know what to do! "

Vlad ordered.

"Already on it, Boss.. "

He replied.

"We will get it back, don't worry... "

He wiped my tears.

I went upstairs and freshen up.

"I heard your phone got stolen. "

Mila came to me.

"Yeah, fucked up day... "

I signed.

"Don't worry he got them.. "

Mila said and I frowned.

"So soon? How? "

How can he find them within few minutes. Sometimes I feel that I still have no idea how powerful Vlad is.

"Because he knows what happens in his territory, obviously... He knows each and every fucker who is involved in fucked up things... And there is a gang of thefts and they are the one who got your phone. "

She shrugged.

"Are you fucking kidding me?... You are telling me that there is gang of people who steals... "

What the fuck?

"Vlad is right, you are really naive to let you go out. "

She shook her head.

"He is probably torturing them in the basement. "

I rushed down towards the basement. I don't know why but I want to see what's happening.

"Stop there!"

Michelle crossed my way.

"It's little messy in there, you should probably stay away. "

"Get out of my way! "

I ordered.

"Fine! "

He shrugged and walked away.

I entered inside and smell of fresh and rotten blood clogged my nose. It's so dirty down here.

"King, I am sorry... We didn't know that she is your wife... "

The man who is bleeding and crying pleaded.

"Tomorrow you will say the same about my other family members. "

I gasped when Vlad plucked his nail and he screamed in agony.

This is not the Vlad I know, with whom I eat and sleep everyday.

"This is exactly how my heart screamed when my wife cried because of you."

He said.

"Do you have any idea how much I love her... She stays in my heart and you dared to hurt her. "

He looks like a possessed man.

Vlad's head snapped towards me, maybe he sensed my presence.

"Get out of here unless you want to join me."

He said calmly like he is doing some artwork and casually asking me to be a part of it.

I turned on my heels and rushed out of the basement. How can someone do that act like nothing is happening.

I deal with blood and cuts everyday. I have seen nastiest wounds but nothing has disturbed me this much.

This is the man who loves me and whom I fell for.

I sat on the bed shocked. Vlad entered the room almost after an hour. He was torturing those men all this time.

I looked at him blankly, I wanted to confront him for his lie but I have no courage. I am too shaken.

And to be honest I was going to inform him about Josh too but I can't. If he can torture people just for stealing my phone then what he will do to the man who tried to harrass me.

I am angry with Josh but I don't want him to end up like men in the basement. I knew that Vlad is crazy but I didn't know that he breaks limits when I am not around.

I gulped when he walked towards me. My legs shaking with his every step towards me.

He stood in front of me and placed my cell phone in my hand while kissing my forehead and instead of warmth, fear spread in my body.

"Don't be mad, I'll do worse than this with anyone who dare to hurt you. "

He whispered in my ear.

I looked at my phone, it doesn't have blood on it. Maybe he cleaned it before bringing it up here.

"I'll check on Grace..."

I stepped back and gulped.

His eyes wandered on my face probably thinking what I am thinking about him.

But I can read it in his eyes, he doesn't care that I saw him in that condition. He wants me to see it, witness it and accept him the way he is.

"Go! "

He said looking at me with straight face.

I turned back and rushed downstairs to Grace's room.

What do I do with this man. His behavior towards me is good but how could I ignore things which he does to other people.

I looked at Grace, It's been weeks and she is still unconscious.

My eyes landed on the white envelope kept on the counter table.

Ohh, her reports are here. I wanted to do full body checkup on her, I know that they won't hurt her but still for my relief.

I got all the report, only one was pending which I am holding it in my hands.

My eyes widened when I read it, It's impossible. How can this happen?

I looked at Grace and the report.

She is pregnant!
