Ruthless (BOOK III) COMPLETE

CHAPTER 27

DMITRY

"No, you're not, standing correctly. One step and you're on your ass." I tapped the back of her leg, and to the ground she went. She huffed and stood back up. "I'm a girl! I'm not cut out for this stuff!" I raised an eyebrow at her. "My mother's a girl, she was able to train. Even beat my father a few times." She sighed. "This is different. Your mother is strong, whereas I am not." I stepped closer to her. "No one is 100%. You need to channel your inner anger. "What makes you angry?" I circled her. "Does it piss you off knowing you're a Russian? My families most hated enemy? Does it piss you off knowing that you're a target? Does it piss you off knowing your parents aren't really your parents?" She swung hard, but missed. "That triggered something there." She glared at me. "You know exactly how to push my buttons!" I smirked at her. "It must suck being the girl no one wants." She kept swinging at me, until there were tears coming from her eyes. I caught her hands, and pulled her closer to me. "Let me go Dmitry!" She tried pulling away, but failed. "See? There is some anger in you. You need to use that anger. THAT is what makes you stronger." She sniffled, and looked up at me. "Mr. Vincenzo, you have been summoned." I nodded, and touched Haydin's chin. "We will continue this later cara mia." I walked out of the gym, and up the stairs. "Where is she?" The maid looked at me. "Your father's room." I walked past her, and up to my parent's room. There she lay, as stiff as a board. "Mamma," she turned her head and looked at me. "My sweet Dmitry. I've missed you." I sat next to her. "How are you alive?" She laughed a little. "It's going to take a lot more than beatings to kill me." I flinched at her saying beatings. I couldn't imagine someone ever hurting my mother. "Hey," i looked back at her. "I'm alive, that's ALL that matters. I have Haydin to thank for that. She's grown up to be a very beautiful young woman. I can see her being apart of your life for a long time." I looked down. "Ma, you know I don---------."

"You don't what," She struggled to sit up. "Mom you need to lay down and rest." She held her hand up to me. "You don't what? Care for this girl? Open your eyes Dmitry, before it's too late. You sound exactly like your father when we first met and look where we are now years later." I looked away from her. Dammit, I hate when she's right. I CAN'T see myself without Haydin. I stood from the bed, and leaned down, kissing mom on her forehead. "Thanks mom, for believing in me when I don't believe in myself." I headed towards the door, but stopped and faced her again. "I really missed you around here Mom." She gave me a small smile. "I've always been with you, whether it was here or in spirit." I nodded, and walked out of the room. I couldn't turn back now. It was now or never.

Telling her how you feel would put her in even more danger, but on the other hand, it'll get you the girl you want.

I grabbed my hair in frustration. I can't do this! I've NEVER been with a girl unless I was constantly fucking her. I've never been in a relationship, so what the fuck am I supposed to do? All I know is sex!

This is going to be tougher than I thought. I need to seek reinforcement.
