America's Princess (Random Updates)

Chapter 33

"That's a wrap!" Ava called as she ended the video she was recording. Olivia smiled as she continued strumming the strings of her guitar. "I think I have everything I need to put together an awesome music video. Want to grab something to eat? I'm starving, what about you?"

Olivia shook her head, "Nah, I'm fine. I want to keep working on this tune."

"Got another hit forming?" Ava asked as she sat next to Olivia.

"I don't know," she admitted. "Go ahead and get something to eat from inside, I'm fine out here."

"Nope," Ava shook her head, "the agreement was to not leave your side."

Olivia chuckled, "I'm fine, Ava, I got Veles," she smiled down at the dog, who was laying on her feet. "I'm perfectly safe right here."

"That's true," Ava chuckled, "no one would dare come near you with him here. Alright," she sighed, "I'm just going to grab a quick bite then I'll be right back."

Olivia nodded as she went back to focusing on the tune playing in her head. She was glad Ava had suggested recording at the therapy place. There were plenty of different places she could sing her new song and it was still private so she didn't have to worry about paparazzi ruining it.

"There you are."

Olivia looked up from where she was focusing on the strings and frowned in confusion, "Excuse me?"

"I find you," he smirked maliciously. "Search long time."

Meanwhile inside, Ava grabbed the paper sack that held her lunch and turned around after thanking the cook to see a man approaching Olivia. Pulling her phone out of her pocket she hit two on the speed dial.

"Zolotse (Precious)," Vladimir's husky voice came through the speaker.

"There's some guy walking towards Olivia and I don't know who he is," the words flew out of her mouth before she could even think of what to say. "Veles looks angry."

"Where you, Zolotse?" Vlad asked as she heard a car start.

"I went inside to get us something to eat," she admitted. "I know Raven's father said not to but we hadn't eaten yet and I thought we would be safe here and I swear I only looked away for –"

"Where, Zolotse?" Vlad repeated as he pushed his foot further down on the gas pedal.

"Are you wanting to take a picture or want an autograph?" Olivia asked nervously as she carefully sat her guitar down next to her.

"Nyet," the man shook his head as he took another step closer to her. Veles gave a warning growl as he snarled his lips. The man started muttering in Russian as Veles planted himself between him and Olivia. "Boss sent me protect you," the man said while smirking.

"Funny because I don't recognize you," Olivia pointed out.

"Nyet suppose to," he shrugged somewhat casually, "Boss want you back house, time go."

"Why didn't he send my normal bodyguards then?" she asked as her body started to tremble.

"Everything okay, Bossy Lady?" Ava asked as she walked over to Olivia and Veles. "I got our lunch." She sat down next to Olivia and passed over her bottled water. Olivia took a quick glance and noticed that Ava had sat her phone down between them.

"Yeah, this guy was just telling me that Nikolai sent him," Olivia said as she wrapped her hand around Veles' collar. The guy flinched at hearing her saying Raven's father's name so casually but then masked it but both girls saw it anyway. "Nikolai wants us back at the house apparently."

"Funny because he told us he would call us if we needed to get back to the house," Ava said as she tossed her hair over her shoulder. "I never got a call, did you?"

Olivia shook her head, "Nope."

The man's eyes darkened as he took another step closer to the duo. "Time go now."

"Nyet," a voice said from behind him. The man tensed and unclenched his fists as both girls leaned to the side to see who spoke. Their eyes widened as they saw the undercover men that Nikolai had sent with them when they left this morning. "What doing, Volya? Nyet belong here."

"Leave, Misha," the creep growled.

"Nyet," Misha chuckled, "I protect Mistresses, you leave."

"I kill you," Volya threatened but all it did was cause Misha to chuckle as Volya went ramrod straight.

"Like see try," Misha growled. "I kill you before blink."

Volya quickly spun and Olivia saw a flash of something silver. "Veles," she whispered as she released his collar. The dog sprung forward and Olivia closed her eyes as his growls filled the air.

"Keep eyes close, Kotenok," Raven's voice suddenly surrounded her as his familiar scent of gun powder and leather wrapped around her. She heard flesh hitting flesh and she didn't want to know more.

"Da, keep eyes close Zolotse," Vlad sounded close to her so she could only assume if Raven was here then he was in front of Ava.

"You're here," Olivia whispered as her mind finally registered that she wasn't imagining his scent. Her arms wrapped around Raven's neck the moment his fingers wove themselves into her hair. "You came."

"Always, Kotenok," Raven promised.

"He's not one of yours," Olivia heard Ava mumble.

"Nyet," Lev said angrily. "Ex."

"Nikolai fired him last year when a maid told him that Volya was making her uncomfortable," Corey said from behind Olivia.

"Veles?" she whimpered as her body shook even harder.

"Egor is getting him cleaned up Cupcake," Luke smiled gently when she was able to pull her face out of Raven's neck. "Making him all nice and pretty for you again."

She pulled back and saw that Vlad had picked up Ava and she was wrapped all around him like a little koala bear. She turned and looked into Raven's eyes. He smirked and picked her up so she wrapped her legs around his waist. "Get me out of here. Now."

Raven nodded, "As wish, Kitten."
