Author's POV

Mikhail closed his eyes and cursed silently.
"Don't say anything!"
He whispered to Marona.

Marona quickly got out of his lap and got up, Mikhail did the same.

"I was right! It's indeed you."
She exclaimed. Marona looked at the woman who was standing in front of them in a grey dress and there was a basket of groceries in her hand. She was quite old and Marona knows who she is.

"How did you know that I am here?"
Mikhail asked suspiciously to woman.

She grabbed his ear and he hissed.
"I am your grandma, naughty boy!"

Marona sighed in relief and thanked God that he really sent someone who has power over Mikhail.
"Grandma, I am not a kid anymore. You can't pull my ears!"
He hissed as she twisted his ear.
"My men will see me!"

"Then why were you trying to leave without meeting me?"
She scolded.

Mikhail couldn't understand how she found out that he was there. He gave clear instructions to Jeh to take care that his grandma shouldn't find out that he is the town.
He glared at Jeh when he walked in there and looked at him apologetically.
"She saw us near the market!"

"Why are you glaring at that innocent boy and what were you doing while sitting in the middle of the road?"
She scolded.

"If you leave my ear then I'll tell you."
He hissed again.

She let go of his ear and looked at him for an answer but her eyes fell on Marona.
"Why are you crying child?"
She gently grabbed her arm and pulled her away from Mikhail.
"What happened to you?"

Marona wiped her tears and looked at Mikhail for an answer.
"She is not feeling well and started crying so I was consoling her."
Mikhail answered.
"She actually wanted to meet you, so I thought of surprising you but you caught us."

She smiled in her motherly vibes.
"Oh my sweetie pie, you are so sweet!"
She kissed his cheek and Jeh bit his lips to stop himself from laughing. It's rare to see Mikhail getting treated like a child.

Mikhail loves and respects his grandmother because she is the sweetest person he has ever seen and she loves him too much, more than her other grandchildren.
In childhood Mikhail used to love her given nicknames and sweet kisses but now she does that in front of his men and it's quite embarrassing for a mafia lord.
She also doesn't let him go when he comes to her house and feeds him everything she can, he has to workout for hours to reduce the weight which he puts on because of her food.
And he does everything she wants because it feels like a sin to break such a sweet heart.

"Come with me, you look like you need rest."
She led Marona with her and Mikhail grabbed his head before following them.
"My house is a few steps away from here... Thank goodness, I saw you guys... I know this naughty boy had a plan to escape."

She scolded while leading them and Marona felt good after listening to such a sweet person after so long. It reminded her of her own grandmother.

She opened the door and led them inside. The house wasn't very big but was beautiful with homely vibes.
"Come sit here!"
She made Marona sit on the couch and touched her face.
"You don't have a fever. What happened?"

Marona shook her head.
"I was feeling nauseous... Maybe because I ate something weird at the party."

She nodded in understanding and looked at Mikhail.
"Leo, go and bring some lemon water from the kitchen."

He nodded head at her order and did as she said.

Marona smiled at her and grandma caressed her head.
"You look really weak... Take care of yourself!"
Marona felt her eyes turning glossy with her loving words but she controlled herself.
"But don't worry! Now that you are here, I'll make sure that you go from here fit and fine"
