His Fall From Grace

Chapter Twenty Two

"Mhmmmmm" I moaned as I dug into my third serving of Tiramisu not caring about the curious looks I got from the people seated in Sky's uncle dining room.Olga makes a mean Tiramisu and not to mention the Pasta Carbonara just the site of it is enough to make a grown man drool.

"This is sooo gooddddddd thank you Olga" I spoke with a mouthful of tiramisu, which I am one hundred percent sure had gotten all over my face. There was no graceful way for me to eat cake.

"I am glad you like it Mia" she said with her thick russian that sometimes make it difficult to understand her but i've gotten better at understanding her as I spend an obsessive amount of time in the kitchen.

"I'm happy to see you're enjoying the meal Mia" Uncle Vlad sounded ,I forgot he was seated at the table because he had been gone since we arrived.

"Yes, uhmm Sir It's delicious" I nodded, picking up the napkin to wipe my mouth.

"No need for formalities, you call me Uncle Vlad" He spoke shaking his head "My dear Skylar ,you have been unusually quiet, I do recall my only niece being what you Americans call a chatterbox" He continued staring at Sky like he could already see the lie she was about to spew.

"Ahhh,uncle vlad ,I'm just enjoying the meal that's all"Sky lied because if you looked at her plate ,you would notice her plate is still full and the Skylar I know would never let good past go to waste ,she was lost in her thoughts.

"Skylar and Mia meet me in my office when you're finished with your dinner" Uncle Vlad said as he got up from his seat leaving the dining room.

*After dinner in uncle's Vlad office*

"Uncle Vlad ,I told you I'm fine there's nothing to talk about" Sky said as she entered her uncle's office.

"Is there really nothing Skylar ,are you sure because you came to Russia without telling your mother ,not to mention you were injured when you came" Uncle Vlad questioned;

"It's nothing uncle ,I'm fine ,its done" She mumbled

"I taught you better Skylar ,you don't have to lie to me my dear niece ,If you don't tell me ,I will find out everything by other means" He told her looking at the both of us.

"It's my fault uncle Vlad ,Skylar was dragged into my mess" I spoke up for the first time since entering the office.

"Mia you dont-" Sky butted in but was cutoff by uncle Vlad.

"Go on" uncle Vlad said waiting for me to continue.

"I was thrown into a marriage of convenience with this man and Sky and I thought it would be a good idea to get out of LA ,but turns out we were being stalked and baited by the man and his henchmen,one of them attacked Skylar and I the night before we left the US " I rambled out trying to keep it short.

"Skylar haven't you been through enough training to defend yourself against any opponent ,didn't I give you a gun for protection Skylar, For Christ say you could have killed this man and called me ,Skylar you could have been DEAD!!!!" Uncle Vlad raised his voice as he was talking and slammed his fisted on the desk as the thought of what could have happened.

"Uncle Vlad I was distracted" Sky spoke with her eyes looking everywhere but at her uncle.

"Skylar look at me" he ordered getting up from his desk walking towards Sky.

"I want a name ,who is it that hurt my niece Mia?" He asked as he looked at his Skylar whose eyes held unshed tears.Skylar never cries. This really hurts her.

"One of Niklaus Martinez henchmen" I answered.

"Niklaus Martinez ,So I am correct to assume that he is your betrothed" he questioned me.

"Yes" I whispered but I knew he heard.

"Ah girls ,if you'll excuse me, I have some work to attend to" Uncle Vlad said not before whispering something in Skylar's ear and kissing her on the cheek.

Skylar Williams' POV

"Moya prekrasnaya plemyannitsa, ya lyublyu tebya" Uncle Vlad whispered in my ear before leaving and I breathed a sigh of relief for not crying in the presence of my uncle as I had never felt this defeated in my life.

We finally told him and even though it feels like a weight has been lifted off my chest it feels like another was added. I could see the look of disappointment in my uncle's eyes as I said I was 'distracted' . I was taught better ,he taught me better than to let my guard down.

I know he would help me but i was so stupid to get comfortable with the enemy ,completely distracted and in shock of the attack all because of this stupid thing we call trust n I was beginning to do it. I should have figured Romeo's game from the day he took me to the club. No strange guy is that genuine.

I've been thought better I should know to practice my teachings.I need to go to the gym and blow off steam or maybe not I've been there everyday for hours since the incident but i can't stop pushing I need to be better for the next attack a weak and unrestrained girl has no chance against this prick and I'm not about to be weak not undertrained.

Walking out with my thoughts going crazy. I left for the gym while leaving. I watched as Mia pleaded for me to stay and talk with her eyes but I left and thankfully she didn't follow.

Before I got to the gym ,I stopped at the liquor cabinet to get some liquid motivation from my good friend vodka.
