CHAPTER19
RUSLAN
My phone rings.
Looking down, I curse at the name. It’s the guard who is supposed to be watching Isabel. Rostam arches a brow, but I could give a fuck if I’m being rude or not. This is my woman, her safety is more important than Rostam.
Sliding my thumb across the screen, I lift my hand in a silent signal to stop him in his speech, a speech that I’m not all that interested in. I’m pretty fucking over him and his shit anyway. He’s going to have to sell me a bit harder if he really wants to start working with us, because he screwed the pooch big fucking time.
“Zaitsev,” I growl.
“She’s okay. She’s locked in your bedroom, but she is okay.”
“What the fuck happened?” I roar as I stand to my feet. Him telling me that she is okay makes it very clear to me that for at least a moment… she was not.
Osip jumps up to his feet as well, and Rostam slowly stands in an effort to at least make a show to us that he gives a shit. I know that he doesn’t. He’s just playing a game and while I’m okay with games, I’m not okay with them being played with my woman.
Not anymore.
Never again.
“The two women, they came up to me, used a stun gun and brought me down. They acted like they were looking for someone. They looked innocent, sweet even. I didn’t even put two and two together. I know you told me it could be women.”
He’s rambling. I don’t blame him. I would be too. Especially if two cunts brought me down on my job.
I can feel the blood boiling in my body. I know that it’s about to come out of me, released in the form of anger and the only person that I can lash out at right now is Rostam.
And I can’t do that because I have a feeling that Osip would lose his fucking shit on me. It would be too fucking messy, so I force myself to control my emotions, my actions, my reactions. Clearing my throat, I start to ask if she’s okay, but he’s already told me that she is, so I wait.
“She was able to push one down, then get away from the other one and barricade herself in the bedroom. By that time, I had regained my abilities and now I have both women restrained in the living room. Isabel is still barricaded in the bedroom.”
“You don’t know if she’s unhurt,” I state.
He hums, then snorts slightly. “I asked her through the door. She said that she was okay.”
“Do not let those cunts go,” I say. “I’m on my way.”
Ending the call, I shove my phone into my pocket and look over to Rostam. “Seems your fucking people are causing me more goddamn shit. We’re moving this meeting to my condo,” I snap.
Without waiting for a response, I turn around and walk to my car. Osip is wise enough not to ask me any questions. I decide that I’ll be calling him from the car, but I fucking refuse to have this conversation in front of Rostam.
Folding into my car, I find Osip’s name and touch it on my car’s screen. As I pull out onto the street, it rings twice before he answers it.
“You want to tell me what the fuck is going on?” he asks.
He sounds pissed, but I don’t really care if he is. This isn’t about him at all, this has to do with so much more. This has to do with my woman’s life. Sucking in a breath, I tell him everything that I know as of now.
“So we’re going to your condo where Azar’s fucking wives are being held by my man, who was fucking stun gunned by them?”
“Yeah,” I say on a chuckle. “That’s essentially all of it.”
“Fuck, I’m glad Rostam is coming. I want to see how he deals with this. He wants to work with us, he better start getting his goddamn shit together when it comes to business.”
Agreed.
ISABEL
The manon the other side of the door doesn’t try to make me come out, but he does tell me that he has Maryam and Donya secured and that he’s called Ruslan already, who is on his way. I decide to stay where I am until I hear Ruslan’s voice.
