TWISTED EMOTIONS |

「vicious monster 」

"You need to put that ego down, and meet them victor. Because that's the only option left". Ivan said as he was fiddling with the files on the desk, And I would have punched him in the gut if he wasn't so right.

I'd be a fool if I said I didn't know what was happening in the business currently but this problem leads to only one solution but I'd rather eat nails than pay heed to that solution.

"I'm never going to talk to the Italians for any favour Ivan, and that's final, do you hear me? ."

"Never say never victor, but anyways let's see how far your ego takes you".

"Sometimes I feel like beating you to death."

"You can solve this problem, and then we'll see mr victor sokolov."

He sure knows How to get on my nerves so easily.only if I had a chance to forget he was my right hand I would have buried him down the ground by now. A sudden knock broke through the silence and an employee walked in.

"Mr sokolov this is from the security team, it's told to be read immediately."

I hummed and he bowed and left. Before I could reach the envelope ivan had got his hands on it, i snatched it with a glare only for him to give a lopsided smile fucker.

The more I read the letter the more my smile widened. Blimey , here I come Italians.

"Let's go Ivan."

"Where?"

"To the Italians"

"Are you okay? Or should I remind you what we spoke about right now?"

"For sure Im all well. I'm god's favourite after all."

I put my coat on and took the car keys. We reached the basement and I sat on the driving seat.

"Why are you driving?"

"I'm in a mood to do so that's why ,Einstein."

"No you're not"

"What's wrong with me  driving ?"

"Let me remind you the time you broke all the signals just because you were pissed and I had to handle the police."

"I was angry. "

"So much anger because your coffee wasn't right, mr perfect?."

"Just sit down."

"Oh lord forgive me for my sins for I shall repent now. "

"Cut the crap and sit in the fucking car before I run over you ,petrov."

If he wasn't in business with me I for sure knew where to find him. But I had no time to waste, I needed to get my work done as soon as possible.

After a long ride we reached the house. And I knew I had to make some excuse up for the security before we get kicked out without the deal.

"Is Mr Russo expecting you sir?" The question was straightforward.

"Of course why else would I be here?".

"Okay sir but I need to check with him before I allow you because the Russians are strictly prohibited to come."

"Are we objects to be prohibited. You know I'm hurt and I'll make sure to tell your Mr Russo that you didn't treat me right and then I'm not sure about your job." I faked a concern face

"Victor call him right know, how can I be treated like this?". If I didn't work in business even I might as well join victor in his acting career.

"No sir it's fine let me open the gates for you" I smirked. Too easy. I drove into the garage and parked my car.

"What are we gonna say when they ask how we came?" Victor voiced out.

"I'm not here to explain shit to anyone I'm here for a deal benefitting both sides." I received a nod and then we got inside. After we got inside a maid attended us. And she led us to Russo's office. As I looked around insides were to bright for my liking. But it's not like I'm here to buy a house.

We stood outside the door waiting for permission as the maid knocked and went inside. After few minutes she came out and allowed us in.

As we walked in I first noticed the pipe Russo was holding ,old man really needs to relieve his stress ain't it. As soon as he saw us he immediately stood up.

"You- what are-" I raised my hand as if in deafeat.

"We mean no harm and we are also unarmed, you're men checked us."

"How did you even get inside my fucking house?" Give this old man some break.

"long story Mr Russo, but let me get to the point I'm here for a deal."

"Oh really? What makes you think I'll listen to you!??"

"You listening or not listening is your problem but I'm here only to inform you but I'm sure but news won't disappoint you." I said with a smirk touching my face.

"And also don't think I can't see the gun you're hiding underneath the table. I know your rivalry runs along way with the Russians but I'm here for something which benefits the both of us."

After that said I make myself comfortable and behind me victor follows. I could see the hesitancy as he argued with himself to keep the gun back or not but nevertheless he left it there and came over to the couch.

"So? What's your matter?"

"For the past few days I have having some conflicts in my business due to the Irish they seem to not take hint that it can cause them great trouble."

"Well sokolov, that sounds like a you problem why am I to get involved in it? And anyways I have a good relation with the Irish ."

"There's the catch. They have been deceiving you. I got to know they planned this to destroy both of us. They are working with the underground Americans."

"So how are we even going to defeat them? It's not like we can work together." Well yes when my great grandfather had fought against the Italians it was a whole lot of bloodshed so they made a truce to never ever Mendel with each others businesses.

"Their is a way. I went through the documents signed and I noticed something they hadn't mention in the truce"

"And what is it?" I smiled.

"Marriage."

"Marriage with who?"

"You're daughter" and I could see the Colour drain from his face but he has to face the reality.

"No! Not happening.I'm not giving my daughter just like that to some bastard"

"That's where you're wrong I might be a bastard but not a bastard who ruins a woman's life. All of our lives are in danger and this is the only solution." He gulped and I continued

"And the biggest thing is the Irish's son has his eyes set in your daughter."

"How do you know that???"

"It doesn't take a lot to follow your daughter who without any security sneaked out. He has his men following her 24/7"

And by now I think the rest of his hair on his head might fall off any minute.

"It's your choice either the Irish or us and don't forget the betrayal you have faced"

"I- I need some time to think-"

"We are running out of time they are becoming more powerful-" a knock interrupted me and a man walked in, whispered in Russo's ears and he looked like he was ready to kill someone.

I guess he got the information of the deception from them. And I knew now is the only chance to make things right. Whether hook or crook and whether it is a downfall for them or not.
