Chapter 32: Meeting Lady Ivanov!

Back to Russia...

It’s been less than twenty-four hours since the Rossi’s mansion was set ablaze, and everyone in it was burnt to death. Luca arrived late to the scene and saw the bodies of his men on the floor. They were all shot, and so were the ones inside. After they were all dead, the culprit decided to set the mansion on fire.

Even Mr and Mrs Rossi weren’t pardoned. Their lifeless bodies were the first thing Luca saw when he entered the house.

He covered his mouth and nose with a piece of cloth so he wouldn’t be able to inhale the smoke caused by the fire. His eyes were blazed with anger as he gazed upon his parents’ bodies.

’They are dead’

He grumbled and looked around to see if there were any signs of Nadia.

"Nadia!" He yelled her name, trying to navigate through the fire. It was spreading even more, blocking his path.

"She’s not dead, is she? Nadia!" He yelled one more time and he heard a faint coughing sound from the kitchen.

Rushing towards the sound, he found his sister, Nadia, coming out of the cold room, in the kitchen. He grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, relief washing over him.

"Thank goodness you’re alive, Nadia. Let’s get out of here! The house is going to collapse soon"

"Where is mom...and dad?" She whispered, her voice gone due to the coldness in the room she had been in.

"...let’s go" he hesitated before pulling her out with him out of the house.

He took her to the car and turned around. There was a huge blast from the mansion as they drove past the gate. Luca didn’t hide his anger while he was turning the wheels.

He wanted to go back to the warehouse, but it already got messy, thanks to Marcello.

’There is only one place I can go’

He thought to himself.

"They are dead, aren’t they?" His sister asked from behind, tears streaming down her face.

"Yes," he gave a quick response, his eyes fixed on the road. Nadia broke into tears, placing her feet on the car seat and cried into her knees. Luca watched her from the front mirror. He was also sad that he lost his parents but his expression was a mask of calmness. Deep down, what he felt more at that moment was anger. He was angry that he wasn’t there to save his parents. All he wanted was to find Marcello and get his revenge on him. He wanted to make him pay. He tightened his grip around the steering wheel, biting his lower lips till it started to bleed.

"Where is Eduardo?" He heard his sister’s trembling voice from behind. His anger flared upon hearing that name.

Eduardo.

"He’s gone" Luca tried to answer calmly. Nadia broke into tears more.

"You’re supposed to bring him back. I need Eduardo..."

"SHUT UP!!!" Luca yelled at his sister and immediately slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden halt. The cars behind started to honk at him to move, but he didn’t listen. He turned his neck and glared at his sister.

"One more word about Eduardo and I’m sending you out of this car"

"I want Eduardo! If he were here, he would have hugged me and told me it’s okay. You’re just yelling at me. Mom’s gone... So is Dad. What do we do?" She burst into tears again.

"Eduardo! Eduardo! Eduardo! Can I live a day without hearing his name? He’s gone! He left to be with a man! He doesn’t love you, okay? So you better give up on him" he slammed his hand on the wheels thrice. Nadia stopped crying loudly and just sobbed silently.

"Just cry silently at the back and don’t call that bastard’s name" he started the engine and continued driving. The ride was silent till they got to their location.

At first, they weren’t allowed in. The woman with blonde hair, Lady Ivanov, heard about their arrival and was shocked. She was working in her office when the butler announced their presence. She stylishly took off her glasses and leaned back on the seat.

"They are here? I wasn’t expecting them. Let them in" that was what she said. The butler left and brought them into the huge office before excusing himself.

Lady Ivanov left her leather seat and walked towards Luca and Nadia, who were looking their worst.

"You must be the Rossis kids. What brings you here?" She asked.

"I’ve heard about you from my father. Greetings to you Lady Ivanov"

"Oh my, did your father send you?" She furrowed her eyebrows.

"I’m afraid my parents are dead,", he said with traces of anger in his voice, and she gasped as if she cared. "They were killed by that Italian Prince, Marcello Diabolo. You must help me get revenge. He killed my parents, took Eduardo and also his slave papers," he said.

Lady Nadia heard that and frowned slightly. The tone of her voice changed, and so did her expression.

"So, Eduardo is gone also, isn’t he?" She asked in a cold voice.

"Uh... Yes. I had him with me, I swear. I brought him back with me to Russia, but that prince killed my men and took him back forcefully," he explained.

Lady Ivanov walked to her desk and rested her hand on it.

’Maybe he isn’t as useless as his father’

She thought to herself and turned to look back at Luca. Her eyes scanned Nadia from head to toe. Her eyes were swollen since she had been crying.

"You must be Nadia, right?"

Nadia flinched at the sudden question and nodded her head innocently.

"You’re also the person who has a huge crush on Eduardo. How cute... For you to fall in love with a lowly slave, I’m impressed"

"I... I’m sorry," her voice trembled, and the woman laughed.

"I’m not scolding you, darling. You see, I hate weak people and you’re one of them. You won’t survive if you remain this feeble" The woman’s words cut deep, and Nadia trembled, her eyes fixed on the floor. She took a dramatic pause and walked towards her. She was taller than Nadia and slightly bigger than her. Nadia remained there, trembling in fear. Her presence and aura were no joke. It reminded her of Marcello. The woman immediately buried her fingers into Nadia’s cheek and forced her gaze up.

"You are a Rossi. Are you going to let your father down? If you remain this weak, how do you intend to steal Eduardo back or...are you going to give up on him also?" She asked, her voice dripping with disdain.

A tear trailed down her cheek.

"I want him back," she said.

A smile crept up Lady Ivanov’s lips.

"That’s a good girl. My men will find a place for you two to stay. Gather new men, find your strength again and get your revenge. I’ll give you just six months to make solid preparations. If you don’t get him back within that period, you two will join your parents in hell" she threatened them, with an icy glare.
