Bittersweet Dealings

Chapter 12

Krish Bedi

What is wrong me with me? I was about to kiss that monster. I moaned when he grabbed me. I hate to admit but he does these things to me that no one has ever done. His touches make me shiver. "Stop thinking about him" I muttered.

My phone chimed and I looked at it. It was a text from Dmitri. It had just been a day or two but he was acting clingy. I opened the text and it was a simple good night. I sighed and switched off my phone. I should just sleep.

It was morning already. I woke up, got ready and went towards the kid's room. I knocked and entered the room. Both were sleeping soundly but I had to wake them up. "Li, Vik wake up" I called softly. Both mumbled something.

After 10 minutes of hustle both were awake. "Good morning babies" I kissed their forehead. "Good morning mom" Li yawned. "Good morning" Vik nodded. "Let's get you ready kids" I smiled.

After bathing them and getting them ready we were downstairs for breakfast. "Lev is the breakfast ready?" I asked. "It is sir" he bowed. "Lev call me Krish. Sir Sounds like I am your boss" I laughed. "You are my boss" he pointed. I sighed. "Dante is your boss not me" I glared. "Kids sit on the chair while I prepare the milk" I said, both nodded and left.

"I can do that sir, you go and sit" he said. "I can do that for my kids so shush and sit there in the corner" I pointed. He laughed and left. I went inside the kitchen only to find maids working. I was about to enter the kitchen when I heard them speaking.

"You were the one who added peanuts in Liam's lunch box" one of them said. My eyes widened in shock. "Don't yell. I was given orders by our boss. You know why we are here. Right?" the other one whispered. "Dante will not spare us if he gets to know this. You know I have heard about him killing people. Why did I agreed to do this? I shouldn't have fallen for money" the maid cried.

I walked away. "Lev" I called and he stood up. "Don't let kids eat the breakfast or anything till I come downstairs with Dante" I said sternly. He nodded. I went upstairs and knocked on Dante's room. I got no reply. I went inside and saw him wearing his tie.

He raised an eyebrow. "To what do I owe you a pleasure?" he mocked. "Did you do a background check on your staff" I asked getting angry. "I did" he replied. "Why are you asking that? Everything okay?" he frowned. "No, it's not okay" I snapped. I told him everything. He looked shocked and angry.

He suddenly held my hand and started walking. "Huh? What now? Dante where are you taking me?" I frowned. We reached downstairs where the two maids were about to serve the kids. "Li, Vik can you go outside in our lawn. We will have our breakfast their today" Dante smiled. Li yelled in excitement and ran, while Vik looked suspiciously although he followed Li.

"What have you prepared for breakfast" Dante asked. "Sir the diet given by you" one of the maid replied. "Really then why there are peanuts in it" he raised an eyebrow. Both looked shocked. "Lev ask the guards to take them to our warehouse. I'll deal with them later" Dante ordered. Within few seconds the maids were gone.

"A-Are you in mafia or something?" I stuttered, he was still holding my hand. I pulled my hand away. "What do you think?" he asked. "You-You have a warehouse? Do you K-Kill people there?" I asked getting afraid. I took a step back. "What I say that's true? Will you believe me" he smirked and took a step front.

I backed away till there was no space to step away. He brought his hands beside my head, keeping it on the wall. "Do you work for someone?" I asked. "Do you think a guy like me will work for someone?" he asked. "Don't answer with questions" I spat but immediately shut my mouth. He traced his fingers around my neck. My breath hitched. He looked down, in my eyes. His black orbs intensely staring at my brown ones.
