90. Saved!

Author's POV

Veronica closed her eyes tightly when dust of fallen door fanned her face.

Andrew's eyes snapped towards the door and he stilled. He had no idea that he will see the man face to face.

He was still on top of Veronica, squeezing her hands mercilessly.

Poor girl was terrified under him.

Andrew got up in fear and stepped back from Vera.

Vera opened her eyes when his weight disappeared from her body. She looked at the man who broke the door and her eyes widened.

He stepped towards her and she tried to crawl back in pain. She thought he is there to hurt her.

"Don't move, you will hurt yourself even more."

He took off his coat and covered her half naked body.

Vera hissed when her chest hurt due to movements.

She couldn't understand why is he helping her.

"Alex, I can't... "

She groaned in pain.

"I am not Alex. "

He answered and her eyes snapped open. She looked at his face carefully and noticed his blue eyes.

"Dominick? "

She mumbled.

"Happy realisation... "

Dominick rolled his eyes.

"Things men do for love.. "

He shook his head and tried to pick her up.

"I can't! "

She cried.

"Relax! "

He said and gently picked her up in his arms.

"Why are you helping her?... They are your enemy. "

Andrew said and Dominick glared at him.

Vera clutched on Dominick's shirt, pleading him not to change his mind.

Dominick was already burning with rage.

"Who the fuck told you that you can open your mouth in front of the king? "

He growled.

"You are not my king. "

Andrew spat.

"Well, Now I am because you are under my mercy... Look around and you will find out"

He smirked.

He looked around and realised that his men has already surrendered.

"You will bring the Russian mafia queen in my country and think I won't find out."

He said.

"We can have a deal... You hate Vladimir too.."

Andrew suggested.

"I want her, she is mine! "

"Be grateful that she is in my arms otherwise you would have lost all your teeth by now."

Dominick warned.

"We don't use women in rivalry... Simon, take him alive. "

He ordered.

"Are we not killing him? "

Simon asked.

"He is not mine to kill..."

Dominick smirked at Vera.

"Why are you here? "

She asked as he walked out.

"Shouldn't you be thanking me instead? "

He replied.

Vera saw few dead bodies outside and long queue of black SUVs.

"Thank you! ... Now tell me! "

She demanded.

"Why did you save me when you hate me? "

"I don't hate you, I hate your husband."

He answered and stopped in front of his Limo.

He gently placed her inside when driver opened the door.

Vera cried in pain and he closed his eyes, controlling himself from killing the bastard. He shouldn't be the one killing him.

He sat in front of her and opened the water bottle.

"Will you be able to drink it? "

He asked.

She tilted her head and he helped her to drink it.

She quickly buttoned her pants and Dominick looked away.

"You haven't answered my questions"

She looked at him.

He grabbed the medical kit and she frowned.

"I can't take you home like this, My bunny will bite my ears off... "

He cleaned her forehead wound.

"Where is Vlad?"

She asked.

"You think I'll let him step into my country. "

Dominick smirked.

"Then how did you know that I am here?"

She asked.

Dominick smirked. He still remember the call.

He was having dinner with his family when he got an call from the person he never thought he would.

Vladimir Volkov!

Grace's face sparkled.

He put it on speaker so Grace could hear him too.

"Look who's here! "

Dominick mocked.

"Do you miss me, Volkov? "

"Dominick"

Vlad was bothered and he could sense that.

"I hate to admit but I need your help. "

All eyebrows raised at that.

"You! and my help?... Is this your new plan to hurt me and my family? "

Dominick asked.

"Veronica is kidnapped"

He declared and Grace's mouth dropped.

Before she could say anything, Dom stuffed bun in her mouth to make her shut up.

"She is in Italy... I have to come to Italy to save her... I won't hurt any of your men or property, I just want my wife and I'll come back."

"What made you think that I'll allow you? "

He asked and Grace opened her mouth but Dominick placed his finger on her lips to shut her up.

"For fuck sake, Dominick... My wife is in danger, I don't know what that psycho is doing to her... She is innocent in all this... I need to fucking save her."

Vlad growled.

"Why would I care about your woman? "

Dom said.

"Because I care about your woman! "

Vlad replied.

"I have protected Grace more than my life and you have to admit that... Not only her but Raajnandini and Bella also... I had so many chance to kill them but they are still alive... Because I do believe that women are innocent in our war... You have to let me come there."

Dominick sighed.

"Who kidnapped her? "

Vlad sent Josh's picture to him and Dominick rolled his eyes. He already knows who he is.

"You will not step on my land... "

"This is about my wife, Dominick... She needs me."

Vlad said frustrated.

"You will get your wife in one piece, Volkov... And your enemy too but you won't come here... I don't trust you. "

Dominick stated.

"I am helping you only because of Grace... Call me after two hours if you want to talk to your wife."

"Dominick! "

He looked at Vera.

"I don't want him to come Italy so here I am."

He shrugged.

She looked at him when he called someone.

"Raan, prepare a room and call the doctor... She is injured. "

"You are completely different from what I have heard about you."

She said when he disconnected the call.

"I am exactly what you have heard about me... I am just acting good for Grace."

He smirked.

She sighed.

"Vlad and you will go along really well... Arrogant bastards! "

"Are you okay? "

He asked.

"No, I am not... May be my ribs are broken... "

She replied.

"I know that"

He said and she looked at him.

"I was asking about mental health."

"What do you think? "

She chuckled.

"I almost got raped."

"Almost! "

He released a relieved sigh.

"We are home! "

He gently picked her up and carried inside.

"Where would you like to stay, queen? Basement? "

He mocked and she rolled her eyes.

"Oh god! What happened to her? "

Grace rushed towards them but he stepped back.

"Don't touch her, she is injured. "

He said making her stop.

"What happened to her? "

Grace's eyes watered.

"This way! "

Raan said and Dominick followed.

"So the question is... "

Dominick looked at Vera.

"How is your husband gonna save you from me?... "

Her eyes widened.

"Because I'll protect you the way he protected my wife but I am going to keep you away from him, just like he kept her away from me."

He smirked evilly.
