Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Veronica's POV

He has something in his mind and he is working on it with proper planning. he knows how to take advantage of the situation and how to manipulate things.

I asked for my cellphone and he again said the same thing. I can't give anything to him. I won't let him win.

"If you are done glaring at me then enjoy yourself!"

I hate that smirk. He is swimming in the pool and I am glaring at him while sitting on the edge.

His body flexed with each move, he has an eagle tattoo on his back, that's the only tattoo on his body.

I flinched back when water splashed on my face.

"I don't want to..."

I said when he stopped in front of me and placed his wet hands on my thighs.

"I am not asking you.."

He pulled me into the pool and I clutched on his shoulders before I loose my balance.

"I am your wife, Not a dog. Whom you will order around..."

I shouldn't open my mouth so carelessly. I really shouldn't.

He smirked and I hate whenever he smirks, it feels like he is mocking me in whatever sick game he is playing.

"You are really lucky that you are my wife..."

He tightened his hold on my waist, his knuckles are digging in my bare skin. I am wearing nothing but a black bikini which is hiding just necessary parts. He made me wear it!

"You don't want to know what I would have done to someone else..."

I don't need to know. I can't see him killing someone else. He has already killed dozens of people in our wedding.

"Sorry!"

I mumbled. I can't afford to make him mad when I am completely under his mercy.

He caged me against the edge. Water Suddenly started feeling warm when his front touched mine.

Water droplets traveled from his forehead towards his sharp nose and flattered on his lips.

His eyes traveled on my face, He slowly leaned down and I turned my head aside making his lips touch my cheek instead of lips.

"I was forced in this marriage... Don't expect anything from me. Not with consent at least..."

He grabbed my chin and forced me look at him.

"You will beg for it!"

He challenged and slammed his lips on me.

I whimpered when he bit my lower lip and slid his tongue in my mouth when I whimpered. I tried to push him but he is too big and strong, and somehow he knows how to lock my body so I can't move.

He spared me when I was out of my breath.

"We are going back tonight... Get ready!"

He said and just like that he walked away.

He just gave me punishing kiss and walked away like nothing happened. I groaned madly and slapped the water which is of no use.

What does he think of himself, he forced me to marry him, he threatened my brother's life, drugged me, forced himself on me and still expect me to obey him like a fucking pet.

I need to get out of her, as soon as possible!

********

My heart sank when he led me inside his huge mansion. I know I have low chances to escape from here. His huge and scary guards are everywhere. But I have to do something.

It's snowing in Russia, winter has started lifting its head.

My breathing quickened when closed the door of his bedroom. He took off his coat and rubbed his tired face.

I looked around to ignore his presence. His room is huge like a penthouse. King size bed and decorated with aesthetics. He has minibar in his room itself. The east side has a balcony which covers  whole wall.

It's beautiful! I could only dream about a house like this.

But that's not important here. In all these Chaos, I can't forget about my patients. They are my responsibility. I know Zen must have handed over my responsibilities to someone else.

"Can I get my phone back?"

I need to check everything.

"For what?"

He asked while sitting on the bed.

For what? Excuse me, why do I need to answer this question?

Uncertainty settled in my heart.

"I need my phone..."

He started taking off his shoes.

"My question will be same"

"Because I have some responsibilities... I am a doctor!"

I replied in disbelief.

"Who told you that you are going to work?..."

He kicked his shoes away and slid down his shirt from his shoulders.

My heart stopped beating for a second. No! He can't do this to me. I have worked so hard to become a doctor. It was my father's dream, it was my dream. I won't let him ruin it.

My eyes watered.

"Mr. Volkov... Please, don't do this to me..."

I requested and he looked at me with a blank face.

"I can't leave my job... It will break me!"

I sobbed.

"Please..."

He grabbed my arm and pulled me closer.

His thumb wiped my wet cheek. His eyes roamed on my face.

"I don't want to do it either but you know the condition, Wife!... You have to sacrifice something in order to gain something... It's in your hands..."

My chin wobbled and he placed mocking kiss on my cheek.

I closed my eyes when he shut the washroom door close.

He wants me to give in, which is not possible and he is using it against me. I won't surrender myself to him. Never!

I can't do this, I have to get out of here. Suddenly this room has started suffocating me. I walked out in the balcony and backyard of his house is equally beautiful as front view.

But no one is there to guard, I saw back gate unguarded and hope rouse in my heart. This is my chance. I don't know if I will succeed or not but at least I won't regret that I didn't even try it.

I turned around and rushed downstairs, my leg is still injured but I can bear the pain. Getting out of this place is the most important thing.

I gasped and hid behind the pillar when two guards crossed the living room.

They didn't notice me, I grabbed the apportunity and ran towards the backdoor.

After a few minutes i was limping, I stressed my wound but I can't pay attention to it now. I need to get out of the gate.

My heart hammered rapidly when I reached to the gate. My hands trembled when I opened it and ran towards the road.

I can't believe that I did it! I am out of the house.

It was too easy but I can't trust the situation until i am somewhere safe.

I tried to get away from the mansion and saw a jeep on the way towards the city.

May be I can get a lift, I don't have money. I tried to stop it and looks like, luck is in my favor today.

Car stopped in front of me. The man who looks quite old looked at me.

"Yes?"

"Hi Sir, can you please drop me at nearest police station..."

He frowned when I said that. Oh, No! I don't want him to abandon me like that taxi driver.

"Actually I am a tourist here and someone stole my purse, I need to file a complain... And while trying to catch him, I lost my friends..."

I lied, I have no other way.

"Sorry to hear that... Come, I'll drop you..."

He smiled and I sighed in relief.

"Thank you so much."

I sat inside.

Why I am feeling uneasy, he is playing with my mind.

"What happened to your leg?"

He asked.

"Nothing, I got injured while trekking..."

I smiled nervously.

"You youngsters are so reckless..."

He chuckled.

"Do you want to call someone?... Here is my phone!"

Whom should I call? There is no one for me. I am all alone.

But I shouldn't waste the apportunity.

"Thank you!"

I grabbed his phone and dialled the number of first person which came to my mind.

"Mrs. Larson..."

Thank God she answered.

"I am fine! Can you please do me a favor."

I hope she agrees and by her tone, I don't think she knows about my condition.

"I am fine, I am coming to the hospital..."

She asked me what I need.

"Can you please find out about the Patient named Ryan Martin... He is disabled and somewhere in hospital. But it's confirmed that he is in Russia... Can you please find out which hospital he is in ?..."

I hope she doesn't questions me.

"Please keep it between the two of us..."

She has connections with different hospitals, it will be easy for her. I hope she finds out about him. I only recall her number and not like I have someone else.

The sooner I find out about my brother is better so I can take him and get the hell out of this country.

I also need to take my belongings from Zen's house.

"You look scared..."

He looked at me.

"I can't understand English properly but I could understand little..."

"But you speak well..."

Even though it's hard to understand in his Russian accent.

"Really? Thank you but I know basic only..."

He smiled.

He dropped me at the police station and I thanked him. I walked inside with hope the hope that my problems will end soon.
