93. At one table!

Author's POV

"You will need it... "

Dominick slid the glass of scotch towards him.

Vlad stood beside him and grabbed the drink.

"Thank you for taking care of her... "

Vlad said while looking at the glass.

"I didn't hear you... "

Dominick smirked.

"Asshole! "

Vlad mumbled and Dom chuckled.

"We don't drag women in rivalry... We are not Russians... "

Dom mocked.

"I have never hurt your women... Don't blame me for other's doings... "

He sighed. He could understand that they all are hurt due to whatever happened to their mother.

"You trapped Bella and her child in fire.."

Dom accused.

"I was the one who didn't let her hurt in that... It was just to distract you all... I could never hurt an innocent woman with baby... Even though she is little annoying."

He took a sip of his drink.

"I hope this is not poisoned... "

"I would do worse than just poisoning you..."

Dom scowled.

"You almost killed me twice... "

Vlad looked at him.

"You deserved that and I know you can't deny it... You think whatever you did to my sister is good?"

Dom sighed.

"I know I was wrong with my ways... But I wasn't that worse, okay... She used to tremble even if I talked with one tone high. She was too weak."

He explained.

"I am trying my best to change for her... And thank you for making her strong."

He chuckled.

"You sharpened the teeth of the bunny and now she loves to bite my ears off."

Vlad smirked.

"That's my girl."

"Don't ignore her just because she chose me... She loves you."

Dom sighed.

"You think I'll ignore my one and only sister that too when she is with you... I even get the count of how many steps she walks in this house..."

Vlad smirked and Dom rolled his eyes.

"Where is he? "

"Basement! "

Dom replied.

"I want him. "

Vlad demanded.

"I am leaving with Veronica in half an hour. "

"Take him.."

Dom shrugged.

"I have nothing to do with him... But It's a shame that you are going alive from here... I really want to kill you."

"Dom! "

Dom closed his eyes when he heard Grace.

"Are you crazy? What are you saying? "

"Here we go! "

Dom mumbled and turned around.

"We were just having a normal talk, bunny."

"You are threatening to kill my brother..."

Grace glared at him.

"Yeah, he did! "

Vlad smirked.

"You should keep your mouth shut because you have tried it twice."

Grace scolded Vlad too and Dom chuckled.

"Can't you guys just forget the past and hug it out... "

"This is not a kindergarten fight... We are mafia kings of two different countries."

Vlad rolled his eyes.

"I think she is right... "

They looked at Massimo who just walked in.

"You are young and smart, Vladimir... And we all know that it's not of any use to continue this rivalry... I tried to solve this many times in the past with Igor but he was a fool and not trustworthy..."

He patted his back.

"Think about it... And we have a reason to trust each other."

Massimo smiled at Grace.

Grace smiled back and looked at Vlad.

"Please!"

She pleaded.

Vlad looked at Dom to judge his motive.

Dom shrugged.

"If my father wants it then I am fine with it."

"I'll think about it."

Vlad replied to Massimo.

Vlad would have never trusted them but he can't deny the fact that they are good with motives. He knows that they are trustworthy. They protect their and other women.

Dom won Vlad's trust when he saved Vera and he knew that they would not hurt him in front of Grace so he didn't think twice before coming to their house.

On the other hand the Marino family also trusts Vlad because he discontinued human trafficking in his country when he became the king. He kidnapped their women but he didn't hurt them. And they don't want to hurt him because of Grace.

They were slowly getting closer.

"Yes!"

Grace jumped in happiness.

"I love you guys so much. Thanks, Dad! "

She hugged Massimo and he patted her head.

"Let's go, lunch is served... Everyone's waiting for you all."

Vlad thought about Vera.

"Vera is still weak... I think___"

"I would love to have lunch with everyone."

He turned around and looked at Vera who was standing there with the help of Bella.

"Problem solved, let's go. I am hungry."

Massimo said and walked away.

Vlad picked his wife in his arms and followed Grace.

Alex pulled the chair when they reached the dining room so Vlad could place her down.

"I hope you are feeling better now."

Anamika chuckled at Vera.

"Yes, much better! "

Vera smiled.

They took their seats and Grace smiled. It was hard for her to believe that they are sitting at one table for lunch.

"Vlad, Don't leave so soon..."

She said and he looked at her.

"I can't leave my work unattended."

He replied.

"Michelle and Mila could handle it..."

Grace replied.

"Actually, Dom and I are getting married again... I want you to be here with me."

Vlad raised his eyebrows.

"Married? "

"Yeah, their first wedding wasn't that good."

Alex chuckled.

"Grace, how did he convince you by the way?"

He teased.

Dom threw a bun at him.

"Keep your filthy mouth shut."

"Don't play with food... You guys are grown ups, act like one."

Anamika scolded.

Vera loved the free and fun environment. They looked so happy as a family.

"Don't glare at me."

Dom looked at Vlad.

"I know I was an asshole so I am compensating for it.."

"You better be."

Vlad replied.

"Look who's talking? "

Vera mumbled and Alex burst out laughing followed by everyone. Vlad cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Is there anyone here in this room who has married his wife with her consent or hasn't kidnapped her ever?"

Bella asked and all men looked down.

"Dad? "

She looked at Massimo in disbelief.

"How could you kidnap her? She was so powerful? "

Anamika shook her head.

"He was one step ahead... He kidnapped me from my own house, from my room in fact... Bribed my watchman and everyone. He was evil... He came and took me like he is picking up a toy from the basket."

"I let you go on the same night"

Massimo protested.

"Still it's kidnapping."

Bella rolled her eyes.

"Vlad, can we stay here?... Please! "

Vera looked at him and he sighed.
