89. Land Of Enemy!

Veronica's POV

I don't know if I should cry or laugh. How do I make him understand that he is digging his own grave. In fact he won't get grave either, I doubt that Vlad will leave his body for that.

I don't know where I am, but at least I am not in a basement or something. It's a house with no windows. I can't even see the trace of sunlight, I don't know in which part of Russia he has kept me captive.

I brought my knees to my chest and sighed. I need to get out of here.

He knocked on the door, ohh! So he is showing manners by knocking on the door. I scoffed.

He entered inside and I tried to calm down my breathing. It's ok,Vera. He is Josh, you know him. You can handle the situation.

"How are you feeling? "

He sat beside me and asked like he haven't just kidnapped me.

I don't even know how long I was passed out or did he do something to me while I was unconscious. I felt nauseous just with the thought.

"Your neck must be hurting. "

He handed me a cold bag and I kept it on my neck. It's hurting.

"Can I get a coffee? "

I asked and he nodded.

I thought he will leave the door open and I'll get the chance to sneak out but he locked the door.

I sat there helpless while he came back with the coffee.

"Why are you doing this, Josh? "

I asked.

"I am trying to protect you. "

Is he fucking psycho?

"You are wasting your time with that man... "

"And now what? "

I asked.

"I'll protect you..."

He handed me coffee.

"Like this? By kidnapping me? "

I asked in disbelief.

"He did the same, didn't he?... You will accept me too... You will learn to love and respect our relationship. "

Ohh God! He is really out of his mind.

How did he even cleared his medical exam?

"Do you really think you can win against Vlad... You know he is powerful. "

I said. I am sure Vlad is looking for me.

He chuckled.

"He is powerful in Russia. "

My heart skipped a beat.

"Where are we? "

He didn't reply.

"Josh, where are we? "

He stopped chuckling and looked at me amused.

"In the land of his enemies! "

He answered and my eyes widened.

"Italy? "

I whispered.

"Yes, Darling. It's Italy! "

He confirmed.

How did he managed to bring me here. How did he even stepped out of Russia. And no one stopped him while carrying me all the way here.

"Who are you, Josh? "

I asked.

"The man I know is not that powerful to pull up this stunt."

He nodded.

"I am not Josh. "

He declared and my eyes widened.

"My name is Andrew, I am a gang leader. I had something to settle with Vlad but he became too powerful to deal with. Then I saw you."

He looked at me with creepy eyes.

"First I thought of taking revenge by killing you but you stole my heart... You are too good for him and will be a waste if I kill you. "

"Why are you against Vlad? "

I asked.

"He killed my brother. "

He answered.

"You guys are no saints."

I said and he nodded.

"I agree but that doesn't mean I'll let it slide. "

He replied.

"Are you with Marinos?! "

I asked.

"No! They don't own us... Marino's don't control Northeastern side of country. We have our own gang."

What is this, why do I always get stuck in their fucked up shit.

It's hard for Vlad to come here and save me. Marinos will not even try because I am their enemy. I have to find a way out.

"You think he can protect you?... Babe, I brought you hear under his nose still he couldn't do anything."

He mocked.

"It's been two days, you were out for two days."

My eyes watered, is he saying the truth? Vlad, where are you?

Someone knocked on the door. There are more people?.

"Andrew, We need you. "

"Take a rest! I'll be back. "

He tried to touch my hair but I pulled back.

I need to do something. I tried to open the door when he walked out but it's locked, there is no window.

"Vlad! "

I cried.

I had no option but to sit on the bed and cry. I don't know what this psycho will do to me.

After some time I heard the sound of door unlocking. One woman entered the room and said something which I didn't understand.

May be she is speaking Italian.

She came near my bed and I grabbed the chance and dashed towards the open door.

It's not a big house, I don't know how many people are out there but I have to take the chance.

I rushed downstairs, the woman yelled behind me. I was close, few steps away from the main door when someone yanked me back.

"You think it's that easy. "

Josh threw me on the floor and my head banged against the coffee table.

Fuck, I groaned when pain exploded in my head. I am sure that it's bleeding.

"Let me go, Josh..."

I cried.

I heard him chuckle.

"In your dreams."

He bent down to my level.

"See what you have done... Why are you hurting yourself? "

He touched my forehead and I slapped his hand away.

He gritted and grabbed my throat making me struggle. I choked on breath.

"Don't try me... Be a good girl. "

I clawed his hands but he didn't move.

He finally let me go and I gasped for the air.

"Where would you go?... I am not a small street side goon, I am a gang leader and this place is secured... They can't find you here and you can't go out... So, don't bother yourself.. "

He grabbed my arm and pulled me up.

Shit! My head hurts.

"And forget your good for nothing husband. "

He started dragging me upstairs.

"I love him... "

I said and he stopped.

"I love Vlad... And you are a fucking psycho."

I saw red in his eyes. He turned and backhanded me. I couldn't find anything to hold on and rolled down from the stairs.

I cried when body stopped at the last step. I am sure my ribs are broken.

"If you keep acting like a brat then I have to punish you, baby... "

He sat on the last step while looking at me amused.

"You are the only person responsible for your every wound."

"Fuck you! "

I spat.

"You won't understand, do you? "

He grabbed my hair and pulled my head up from the ground and slapped me again.

"You need to know who is the boss here. "

I tried to crawl away but he grabbed my ankle and dragged me back.

I screamed on top of my lungs when he tore my shirt and looked at my chest lustfully.

"Don't worry, I'll fuck you so good that you will forget him."

He hovered over me and I tried to scratch his face.

My whole body is screaming in pain. My head is bleeding, I don't know how many ribs I have broken. My shirt is completely ruined and bra is hiding nothing.

I cried on top of my lungs when he unbuttoned my jeans while pining me to the ground.

"Help, please! "

I screamed.

Josh flinched on top of me when the main door fell on the ground with loud thud.
