Bittersweet Dealings

Chapter 8

Dante Vasiliev

As I walked upstairs I saw Viktor standing on the stairs. He heard everything. He looked scared. "What are you doing here?" I asked sternly. "Uh...I...Uh came to fill the jug" his voice cracked breaking something inside me. He ran downstairs towards the kitchen.

You don't get to yell at me when you are a monster. You are not even a good father to your kids.

Krish's words were ringing in my ears. How could he say that? My kids love me and I know that. He is right though I am a monster. I called my assistant. "Make Krish Bedi's life a living hell" I said and hanged up.

You will pay for what you said Krish Bedi. I will not spare you. I will make you beg me for my forgiveness.

It was morning already. We were having our breakfast and Krish was not here. "Lev where is mom?" Liam asked. "He will be here in a minute" Lev replied. I heard footsteps, Krish came and sat beside Liam. "Good morning Li, Good morning Vik" he smiled. His face was puffy and his eyes were swollen. He cried. That's what you get to mess with me.

"Good morning mom" Liam chirped. "Good morning" Viktor muttered. Krish's eyes widened at that. He smiled. "Lev can you please arrange a car with baby car seat. I am taking the kids out today" Krish asked Lev. "Sure sir" Lev nodded and left.

"Where are you taking the kids? Their tutor will be here now" I pointed. Anger bubbling up in me. "I am going out with my kids. We are going to have fun today" he declared, making me want to punch him. "Yay" Liam smiled. "You are not taking them out" I stated. "Father please. Please father. You know I love going out" Liam smiled, showing his puppy eyes which I can't say no to. "I don't need your permission to take my kids outside" he smirked. I glared at him.

"Let's go kids, get ready" he told the kids and left with them.

I was in my office thinking about how to break that Krish Bedi. He is starting to get on my nerves. I wish I could kill him but I can't. His father would kill me. "Sir I have already started working on the thing you told me yesterday" my assistant Zed said. "Great. Destroy his every project" I stated. He nodded and left. I don't want him to turn me against my kids. My kids are everything to me and I don't want Krish to be there in their life.

I called my guard. "What's happening there?" I asked him.

"Sir they all are here in park for picnic, which Mr. Bedi has arranged. They are having fun" he reported. I don't know why but I felt warmth spreading in my chest.

"Okay" I hanged up.

Krish Bedi

"Here Li and Vik try these muffins" I gave them the muffins to try. I have decided to rebel against Dante. I won't let him hurt me. I won't let him hurt kids in any way. They are my kids after all. They are not yours, a voice inside my head said. I sighed.

"These are tasty mom" Liam smiled. "Thank you baby" I smiled back. Vik was eating them which made me happy. I took a day off from office just so I could spend time with them. "Let's go home, it's already getting late" I said. Both nodded in agreement.

We reached home only to find Dante sitting on the couch like a King and reading some files. "Back home after having fun" he said sarcastically. "Yeah. We had a lot of fun" I glared back. "Let's go kids and freshen up. I'll bath you both" I smiled. "Okay" the kids ran upstairs.
