Sweet Bastard

Chapter 29

Last chapter. Some of you might be mad with me lol

I sat up holding the sheets up to my chest. Last night was something. Words can't describe the feeling. It was great, don't get me wrong, it was great.

Something felt weird.

I was so sure about everything yesterday. So positive this was the right thing to do. But the more my mind wondered on, Seth kidnapped me, and forced me to marry him. Is this really what I want? I know- I know this is a mission but I do feel something for him.

This was supposed to be a quick thing. I wasn't supposed to feel attracted and connected to him like I do. I shouldn't.

I looked in the mirror at my body. My naked body. The love bites, hickeys, and bruising. I grabbed the robe that hung on the back of the door and covered myself up.

I just wanna know love. I don't know what this is anymore. It's too confusing.

Seth knocked on the door causing me to jump. "Hey, you alright?," he asked gently.

"Yes! I'll be out in a minute," I stated wiping the sweat from my forehead. "Can we go to Itaewon today? I really wanna go to my home city," I said.

I needed to go today. I might miss my chance to see my father. He wouldn't be happy with me.

"Yea, of course. I'll go get things ready," he said leaving the door.

Seth's POV

Vanessa was acting strange. She was acting like she knew something was up. She was just acting too weird. Right when things were finally coming together it felt as if it were unraveling again.

I just want her to be happy. I'm so fucked up and I feel like I'm draining her. I dressed and I got on my phone and arranged the drivers. Vanessa walked out in a floral dress, the top was very low and displayed her chest very clearly. She must've covered the marks that were on her skin. Last night I saw some very interesting things on her body.

She had various tattoos in Russian on her hips. I didn't know what they said and I didn't know if they meant anything important.

I walked to her and placed a light kiss on her lips. She smiled and looked down at her feet. I could tell something was up, I could tell something was bothering her. I didn't know what was going on with her anymore.

"Let's go," I said grabbing her hand. He followed behind me out of the hotel room and followed to the car. I've been to Korea on multiple ocasiones, but never for leisure. We're staying at one of my hotels.

The drive to Itaewon was very quiet. Vanessa stared out the window the whole time, she hummed along to the Korean station that played on the radio.

We arrived at some coffee shop Vanessa told us to pull over to. She said her mother's friend owned it. She was surprised it was still open and in business. We got out and entered the small shop.

She talked to the lady in her native language, which resulted in the lady hugging Nessa. They continued to talk leaving me to look around the shop. I walked around the store looking at the pictures all on the wall. Pictures of Korean families and couples.

One picture however caught my eye. The boy looked exactly like Aiden, but a slightly lighter complexion. It was an older picture of Vanessa and Brandon. They were both smiling with their parents. They all looked so happy, what in the world tore this family apart.

The closer I looked at her father the more and more he started to look familiar.
Holy shit! Fuck.
Her father, her father is fucking Igor Popov. He's the head of the Russian mob, my biggest threat.

Igor kept a low profile it would explain how I couldn't find him. It was like he dropped off the face of the planet.

Vanessa walked behind me and placed her hands around my waist. She felt around in my jacket pockets.

"Do you have any spare change? I need about 45 cents." She spoke lightly.

"Nessa, what's your birth last name?"

She stilled and let go of me. "I thought you knew everything about me," she said worriedly. "My birth name is Kim Hee-young Popov."

As soon as the words left her moth the from door burst open and two large men walked in. I looked over my shoulder at them. It's like everything started moving in slow motion. The men reached into their jackets making me do the same. They pulled out large guns and pointed them directly at us. They fired without hesitation and managed to hit me in my shoulder.

I dropped my gun and grunted in pain. They managed to grab Vanessa. She sent me a very apologetic look. She didn't try to fight back, she didn't put up a fight. She- she left with them.

They fled from the shop and sped off into the city. I angrily slammed my hand on the table. The bullet didn't amount to the pain in my chest. She's gone! No!

I felt in my pocket in search of my phone to call my guys. I felt in my jacket pocket. My hand felt the cold diamonds of

Vanessas wedding ring.

I fell to my knees feeling a void deep inside me.
