84. Feeding Lies!

Veronica's POV

How can she be pregnant? It's impossible, we did her all check ups and it was clearly proven that she can't conceive but here are her revised reports.

Maybe magics do happen. I still remember how much she was sad when I told her that she can't conceive.

I am happy that she can become a mother but what do I say to Vlad. He won't take this easy. He will never expect the child and he might hurt it.

Oh god! I can't even imagine.

Grace needs to take a call on that and I have to hide it until she recovers.

I looked up when Vlad entered the room and I gulped.

He didn't try to talk to me since I have seen him in the basement. He is just analyzing me and it's making me nervous.

I wanted to confront him but I am scared.

Seriously! How you are supposed to react if you see your husband torturing someone to death.

"How is she? "

He walked inside while closing the door behind him.

Pregnant!

I shook my head.

"She is recovering"

I have to protect her baby until she is able to take a call.

He sat beside her, caressed her head and guilt was prominent in his eyes. No matter what, no one can deny the fact that Vlad is a great brother. I wish I could have someone like him to protect me, maybe then no one would have been able to use me.

"What are you thinking about? "

My thoughts got broken when he looked at me.

"Nothing! "

I locked my macbook, I need to delete these reports before he finds out.

He got up and walked towards me. I scooted away from him when he sat beside me but one jerk from him and I am on his lap.

"It's been weeks, you should forget about it."

He said while caressing my hair. He is right it's been weeks and It's been almost a month that Grace is unconscious.

"This is what I am, a monster and you fell in love with that. You have to accept it, love... "

It's not just about your profession, Vlad. It's about lies you feed me.

He gently pecked my lips.

"I am sorry what you had to see... I won't let that happen again. "

"Tell me one thing honestly, Vlad... "

I said and he looked at me.

"Do you really have no involvement in my promotion? "

His eyebrows stretched. He knows that I know. He looked down for a second and met his eyes with mine.

"Who told you? "

He asked.

"Does it matter? "

I tried to get off from him lap but he held me down.

"You lied. "

I accused.

"Because I knew that you will act like this. "

He sighed.

"Everyone plays politics, Vera... And you tell me, don't you deserve this position. "

"Not like this"

I shook my head.

"Everyone uses the same way... And I don't regret what I did, no one else is more deserving than you.. "

He stated.

"You have power and you should know how to use it because not everyone is innocent like you. "

"You do it for me, I know... But the way you use is always the wrong one. "

I said and he nodded.

"I accept... Because this is what I am... This is how I know this world. "

He replied, I can see guilt in his eyes.

"All I know is, I want to see you happy and get things which you deserve. "

"But why do you have to lie all the time..."

I asked frustrated.

"Because you don't like my ways and you will never let me do that. "

He argued.

"Because it's wrong. "

I groaned.

"The fuck it's wrong, Vera... You should fucking know that this world is not innocent the way you think. "

He closed his eyes.

"I am not born yesterday, I know how things work... "

I got up from his lap.

"You don't know"

He sighed while rubbing his forehead.

I walked out of the room and took a deep breath.

"What now? "

I groaned when my phone rang. My eyebrows raised when I saw who is it.

"Why are you calling me?... Do you have a death wish? "

"Dr. Veronica, I am extremely sorry for my behavior... I don't know what happened. "

Josh pleaded.

"I don't want to listen anything... Be grateful that you are still alive... Don't call me back. "

I disconnected the call and released a shaky breath.

"What's going on, dude? "

I gasped and turned around.

"Mila, god! "

I looked around to make sure that no one else heard me.

Mila is with milk bottle in one hand and gun in another. Wow! She really knows how to balance both.

"Why did you sound like you have an affair? "

Mila raised her eyebrows.

"Will you keep your voice low... If Vlad hears it then___"

I shook my head.

"I want to know everything. "

She demanded and we went to her room.

I cooed little Rose who is nibbling on her thumb. She is so cute.

"Josh tried to touch me. "

I sighed.

"What the fuck! "

Mila exclaimed.

I told her everything, whatever happened.

This is so ridiculous, I was thinking so highly of Josh. He was so sincere.

"What did Vlad said? "

Mila asked and my eyes widened.

"Are you fucking crazy? He will kill him. "

I shook my head.

"That's the point, why do you want him to live? "

She shrugged.

"He harassed you."

"Why do you guys think that violence is the key for all... "

I hold Rose against my chest and rocked her.

"Because it's fun! "

She winked at me.

"Do me a favor and don't make Rose like you"

I rolled my eyes.

Mila scoffed.

"Why do you think I named her Rose. "

My eyes widened. This woman is crazy.

"Mrs. Volkov."

I looked at the maid who came rushing towards us.

"Ms. Grace is showing movements. "
