I Give Up

Chapter 3

Irina's POV:

Some weeks have gone by,Pavel and I have actually gotten really close. He is more free with me, and answers all the questions I shoot at him. I wonder if he's been honest with me though,also I don't understand why he's suddenly comfortable with me.
"You really love ice cream, don't you?"
"And you really love blood, don't you,Dracula?"
"Yes, yes,I love blood." I chuckled but he looked at me intensely.
"Is something wrong?" I asked in confusion.
"No, everything's fine. Anymore nightmares?"
"Once in a while,yes. But they're not as frequent as there were." I smiled sadly,the nightmares flashing through my eyes.
"Do you remember anything?"
"No,not really." I looked down.
"It's fine, there's no need to push yourself." He smiled at me, "You're already doing your best, that's all that matters." He took my hand and kissed it.
"Pavel?" I looked at him with dilated eyes but before I could say a thing, Vladimir walked into the room.
"Pavel? What is going on here?" He looked at me, then at Pavel, then his eyes were fixed on Pavel and I's intertwined hands which made me even more scared causing me to grip his hand.
"Master." He stood up,immediately letting go of my hand.
"Pavel, what is going on here?"
"I... It's.... Just"
"My office,Now!" He thundered and I subconsciously shrunk to the wall.
"Master,she had nothing to do with this, I'm the one who....."
"Pavel!" He shot him a murderous glare and Pavel only bowed and left the room.
"You're really good at this game, aren't you? So you wanna make Pavel fall for you, making him your ally,is that it?" He began to walk towards me as if I were his prey and he was a hungry predator.
"No, I didn't do anything, honestly."
"Shut up." He put his hand on my neck and began to strangle me. "All I want to do right now is end your miserable life" He tossed me off the bed.
"Get dressed, I'll be back." He walked out of the room as I struggled to breathe. When he was strangling me,I really thought it was the end but he just tossed me away. Why hasn't he killed me yet? I can't remember anything, and I doubt I ever will. So why won't he just finish me off?
I got up from the floor,my whole body was aching, but the fear I have for him gave me the strength to stand. I know he'll hurt me more if I'm not dressed by the time he returns. I was shaking all over,my healing wounds seemed to have been opened once again along with fresh ones. But I wouldn't dare defy the commands of Master Vladimir,the most powerful and cold-hearted among the Petrov brothers.

Vladimir's POV:

My blood boiled even more as the days turned into weeks and she still has no memory of her past.
"Nina,why can't she remember anything yet?" I sipped my wine.
"Master, her injuries were critical,if you hadn't called me to treat her, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be alive."
"I didn't fucking ask you about her injuries,I asked you,why the hell can't she remember anything?!" I threw my glass at her but she moved away just in time.
"Master, just give her some more time, I'm sure she would remember something." She answered as her body shook in fear.
"If I recall correctly, a day after she was made my prisoner,you advised me to show her some pictures from her past saying she'll definitely remember something,she only ended up with nightmares. After a few more weeks, you advised me to make her feel comfortable, that it's possible she remembers her past but doesn't trust us enough to say anything about it. From what I can tell, she's comfortable with Pavel yet she still has not said anything. Now, you're opening that mouth of yours,telling me to give her some more time? What's next I should fucking make her fall in love with me?!" I threw my glass at her and this time she wasn't able to dodge it as it broke on her thighs.
"I'm sorry, Master,I failed you. Please have mercy, please." She knelt down and began to beg but it only made me sneer. This is not what I'm paying her for,so why is she begging?
"Get the fuck up! You need to make her remember."
"Master,why don't you go instead of Pavel? Make her comfortable around you,if she feels safe with someone as powerful as you, she would definitely open up to you." Nina said not daring to look me in the eyes, because everyone knows how much I detest tears.
"Go and get your wounds treated, be back with something more effective,or else....." I don't have to complete my sentence for her to know what's next. What a useless Doctor!
Should I really go instead of Pavel? She has become comfortable with him but she has still not said anything. I'll only go to her today,if she doesn't say a thing, I'd have no other choice but to resort to violence.
I left my office, and began walking into her cell but I didn't hear any sounds of laughter,or maybe just the sounds of them talking. I found it odd but opened the door to find something even more odd. I saw a scared and confused lady, a guilty looking man and two hands firmly intertwined.
I didn't know what to make of it,I know Pavel has a strong will when it comes to women but then again his face and their hands are saying otherwise. I had to send Pavel into my office, because all I wanted to do was punch him so hard,why would he fall for her so easily? Although she pleaded guilty I still knew that she must have done something to him. Pavel would never fall for a woman this easily,so she must be an expert in seduction.
I honestly wanted to kill her for trying to make Pavel fall for her, but i still need any information i can get from her, so i let her live another fucking day.
