I Give Up

Chapter 1

Vladimir's POV:

  "Tell me who sent you" I stabbed the already battered guy on his stomach and let it go in really deep before pulling it out slowly,so the pain lasts longer.
   "So you're the famous butcher? I've been hearing about you and this is all you can do?" He spat out blood and I smirked at him. This guy's either really stupid or all the beating's gotten into his head.
   "Master.... Master Petrov"
   "Didn't I fucking say no one should disturb me when I'm fucking dealing with shit?" I shouted. I know the only reason why my right hand man would interrupt me is only if the situation is too dangerous. But after being insulted by this fucking little bastard I don't even care what he has to say.
   "Master Petrov,it is really urgent"
   "Fucking no!" I stood up and kicked his leg but he didn't flinch.
   "Please Master Petrov, it's really important" I just looked at him and smirked to myself. I really taught my men well.
   "If it's not, you'll be added to my shit pile"
    "I'd expect nothing less" He made way for me as I stepped out of that room outside my fields.
   "Clear the way for Master Petrov" My men cleared the path for me and all bowed as I walked to the end of the pathway to see a bruised, battered and unconscious young lady.
    "Who is she?" I asked with a little curiosity but it wasn't evident in my tone.
     "From our investigation we found out that she's Mr. Volkov's daughter, Master".
    "Interesting" I squatted down to get a closer look at her "How did she get here?"
    "We don't know, Master"
    "Who put her in such a condition?"
     "This is the exact place and way we found her, Master" I just looked at her,I know all Mr. Volkov's daughter, but I've never seen her before. Why was Mr. Volkov hiding her?
     "Carry her" I ordered.
    "Yes Master" He did as I said.
    "I think this is very fortunate for us, don't you think so,Pavel?"
     "Of course, Master"
     "Take her to my penthouse, find a good doctor for her and ensure she is safe, you are the only man allowed to enter or be anywhere around her and her room,is that understood?"
     "Of course, Master"
     "Also, bring all the men that are in charge of this field to the shit hole"
      "Yes Master,May I take my leave now?"
       "You may"
      "Thank you, Master" He bowed and left taking my new prisoner to her cell. It's so fortunate for me. Now time to go and teach some of my men a lesson for not doing their job correctly.
     
    Irina's POV:

I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. The only source of light is this lamp. I tried to sit up but ended up slouching back.
     "Miss, please be careful" I looked at the direction of the voice and saw a really dark figure causing me to scream so loudly.
  Then suddenly another figure barged into the room.
    "Why the hell did she scream?"
    "I don't know, Master,I didn't lay a hand on her"He bowed slightly to the other figure as he walked towards me.
   "Please, please don't hurt me" I pleaded,This man stinks of danger and money.
    "No harm will come to you,if you answer all my questions,so will you comply?" I only nodded
    "What's your name?"
     "My name?" I began to think, What is my name? Who am I?
   "Don't you dare pretend like you don't remember!"
     "But I don't" I trembled. He exchanged looks with the other guy and then the guy left.
     "Do you really not remember anything about yourself?" He asked again.
     "She's here, Master" A lady wearing a lab coat approached me.
    "How are you feeling?" She smiled at me.
    "My body feels numb and sore at the same time" I answered her professionally because from the looks of it,she's a doctor.
    "Mmmmh sorry about that I'm just gonna inject this into your system to make you feel better" She did as she said and I immediately felt so sleepy and weak. What did she do to me? Did she just inject me with some sedative?
     "What did you just inject me with?" I asked feeling very drowsy as I managed to keep my eyes open.
   "Don't worry about that. I just want you to focus on me and answer my questions. Who you are?"
   "Who am I? I don't know,my mind's blank" I said in a whisper,my eyes slowly closing.
   "Come on,I want the truth, can you stop lying to me? "She kept gently tapping my cheeks, probably trying to keep me conscious.
    "I'm..... I'm not lying" I managed to say my voice barely whispered as my eyes closed.
   "She's not lying, Master,she really has lost her memory" I heard the female doctor say.
   "When will she regain her memories?"
   "I'm sorry, Master, but I can't really tell. Her Injuries are multiple and severe, it's no surprise that she has memory loss" She sounded pretty sad.
   "You can leave"
   "Thank you, Master" I heard the door open and shut.
    "Have you started the investigation?"
    "Yes Master"
     "Inform me once we get any information and ensure she doesn't leave this room"
     "Of course, Master" I heard the door open and shut again before finally succumbing to darkness.
   When I woke up,I was greeted by a friendly looking smile.
    "Hey, you were asleep for quite a while" That's because you drugged me. "I thought you might be hungry" She pointed at the food that was by my side.
      "I'm not eating that" I just looked away from her.
      "But why? Aren't you hungry?"
        "I'm not" My stomach growled. Darn it!
     "Come on, don't be so stubborn and just eat"
     "Why? So you can make me sleep again? Absolutely not"
     "I won't........" She was cut off by the same dark figure that barged in earlier. He finally stepped into the light. He has a very masculine body that looked like so many people died because of him. His eyes are so dark as if he holds all the secrets of the world. This man is dangerous,I can feel it, yet,Why do I also feel something else? Something really good.
     "Take away the food" He ordered.
      "Yes, Master" She just took the food and left the room, almost as if she were being chased.
     "Now listen here Princess,this place ain't your palace. So if you even live to see the next day, consider yourself lucky " He said in such a calm way yet it sent shivers down my spine.
     "Now,are you going to eat or not?" I just nodded in fear. "Pavel?!" The other dark figure came into the light, holding a sizable table.
       "Yes,Master?"
       "Give her the food"
      "Okay, Master" The scary guy left the room.
     "Here you go,Miss" He gave me my food. This guy looks more friendly than the other one.
      "Can I know your name?"
      "It's Pavel,Miss" I gave him a smile and began eating my food, but throughout all he did was just to stand and watch me.
     "You know,if you have feelings for me all you have to do is tell me" I teased.
      "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, Miss"
      "Hey,no I was just...... You don't have to be formal with me"
     "But Miss......"
      "I really need a friend,Pavel,I just hate the fact that my mind's blank and your "Master" isn't making me feel any better"
     "Miss, you are very lucky that you stumbled upon him and not any of his brothers"   
       "Oh Wow! The devil's got siblings?" Pavel just chuckled and he looked so cute actually.
    "Is it that hard to believe?"
   "More than you know it"
   "Miss, for your own good, you have to try and remember something, anything
   "Why?"
   "Just trust me" He went back to his statue self and I just laid back on the bed feeling very overwhelmed.
    It's been a really boring week, nothing much happened. Just the usual cleaning myself up, enduring my wounds and getting interrogated. Well I know it's dumb of me but I became friends with the female doctor that drugged me. Call me stupid, dumb or naive I really don't care. I'm freaking sick of talking to myself all the time.
       "So he's really a Mafia boss?" I asked not really surprised but she doesn't need to know that.
     "The best among all his brothers"
     "Wow! That's actually scary"
     "I really pity you though"
     "Why?"
     "Because even If he's the most reasonable among them all he's still a Petrov brother and he'll only let you live for awhile without you giving him any information and then he'll kill you" She said sadly and signed
          "Wha....What?!" My body trembled as I saw Pavel and him come into the room.
      "Leave us" He shouted at Nina as she ran out of my room. He slowly made his way towards me. His dark eyes now bore holes into my body as I trembled further away from him.
      "You too, Pavel"
      "Yes, Master" Pavel gave me a kind of look which looks like he's telling me "Good luck" and i couldn't help but gulp.
    "Please, please don't hurt me, I've been good, I've done everything you've asked for" I begged as I felt goosebumps begin to form all over my body.
       He sat next to me and just laughed, not the good kind of laugh but the sadistic kind "If you've really done everything I've asked,why haven't you given me the only thing I have asked for?!" He looked at me intensely as if he were trying to read my thoughts.
      "Take a look at this and if you tell me that you don't remember a thing, you'll regret ever knowing me" I already do.
    I picked up the photo and looked at the photo of a man.
      "Who is he?"
     "Your father" The second he said that my mind began to spin,so many memories of that man hit me all at once and it wbecame too much to even grasp one.
     "Make it stop, please, make it stop" I put my hands on my head shaking it profusely as I cried in pain.
      "What? Make what stop?!"
      "Please,it's too much" My head is throbbing like crazy. So many memories that I can't even properly see any of them.
     "Tell me what to stop!" He shouted but it didn't seem like he was angry. He actually seemed worried but I'm sure I've just lost my mind.
     "Please make it........stop" The pain finally became too much for me to handle and I lost consciousness.

     Vladimir's POV:

   As she collapsed on my body, oddly enough,I didn't flinch at her touch instead i sorta melted into it. I removed the hair that prevented me from seeing her innocent face.
   I gently placed her properly on the bed and tucked her in. I wonder if her innocent and fragile demeanor is just an act.
    I touched her skin and she flinched making me smirk. Am I really that scary?
   I left the room and saw Pavel talking with Nina, they've gotten quite close since she came.
     "Pavel" He immediately walked towards me.
     "Yes,Master"
     "Give her anything she wants to eat when she wakes up and get back into the room"
     "Of course, Master" I nodded a frown turned up on Nina's face but once she noticed I was looking at her she got scared.
     "Get into that room and check on her, once you are done,resign to your office and come up with a solution for her memory loss." I ordered and left my house doing what I do best, sending shitty people back to their maker.
