Chapter 202 - 197

Luciano was not afraid of anything and Lucifer knew it too well. He had trained him like that. But Lucifer also knew his son too well and knew how to break him.

"What do I do with you?" Asks Lucifer.

"I won't apologize for leaving to America. If it wasn't for your jet. I would have found another way. But I would have gone anyways" says Luciano looking at the floor unable to see his father eye to eye.

"I know you would have and I would have forgiven you if it was only you who did something this stupid. And if you had made it back alive. I would have been proud of you too. But risked Heena's life and went ahead and disrespected the Devonte family. That deserves punishment" says Lucifer.

"I wouldn't have let anything happen to Heena" says Luciano looking up at Lucifer. Lucifer moves forward and hears Pari call him "Lucifer" with tears in her eyes.

"He is my son too, angel" says Lucifer to Pari.

He looks back at Luciano and says "do you have any idea if any one of our rivals would have captured you?"

"Killed me" says Luciano.

"Ultimately have killed you. But what would they do to Heena? What would they do you a 11 yr old girl?" Asks Lucifer?

Luciano looks at Heena and looks back at Lucifer.

Lucifer holds Luciano's jaw between his finger and turns him to look at Heena and says "look at this girl standing in front of you and tell me what would have happened to a young girl like her? TELL ME?" Screams Lucifer. Luciano looks at Heena and she stares at him back with tears.

"She would have been sold in a s.e.x market for a very good price to a 40 yr old or even 50 yr old guy to r.a.p.e her" says Lucifer brutally honest with all his children present.

Pari looks at her other three sons who where 10, 8 and 6 yr old who were looking at what was happening.

Pari would have had them sent away but Lucifer wanted them to see what happens. "I am sorry" says Luciano to Heena.

"Sorry is not getting you anywhere. Both of you" says Lucifer and leaves Luciano's jaw and continues "just cause Aman has another daughter and I have three more sons doesn't mean we both are ready to let you both risk your lives. You both will be published. You both will spend a week in the bas.e.m.e.nt in the cells without food or water. And after a week. Luciano I have plans for you"

"I'll stay in the cell for two weeks. Just let Heena go" says Luciano.

"I have not treated Heena any different than you boys. I have her trained like I am training you boys. So, if i don't discriminate while training then I won't discriminate while punishing" says Lucifer and commands the guards to take them both to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

"Dad please let Heena go" begs Luciano.

"No. You will see her starve because of you" says Lucifer. Heena walks to Aman and says "I am sorry dad but I couldn't let him go alone"

Aman smiles and says "I know and I am proud of you. But when you knew he was doing something wrong and risking his life. It would have been wise to inform us and not blindly join his stupidity"

"I know" says Heena and looks down.

Aman kisses her forehead and says "take the punishment as a brave girl you are"

Heena nods and follows the guard. The guards put Luciano and Heena in two cells opposite to eachother so that they see eachother.

"I am sorry" says Luciano.

"You will be cause my punishment will be over in a week. But I am sure capo isn't done with you yet" says Heena.

"I know" says Luciano and lays down on the floor and smiles and says "but did you see Emerald? She looked so cute in her pink dress. It's her favourite colour"

"Good thing they put us in different cells or else I would have beaten the shit out of you. Bloody Romeo" says Heena and Luciano only smiles.

................ Ivanov was in his office and was thankful that Elisio was not in his office due to some issue in Emerald's school.

He called Jessica and all she had to say is "I have no idea about this either. I was shocked when I read the news"

"Don't worry I'll release a statement saying it's false news" says Ivanov.

"Let me join you when you release that statement. I want to do it with you cause I am being pulled in this too. My house phone has not stop ringing since morning" says Jessica.

"I can't leave to Boston" says Ivanov.

"Don't worry. I'll come there" says Jessica and Ivanov hangs up the phone. Ivanov was reading few contracts when Isaiah and Enrique walk in his office.

"Before you say anything. This isn't the first time one of us has been linked with someone. So, this is no different. Jessica and I had some good time and spent the morning having breakfast. And the gift was a thank you for an incredible night. We are not seeing eachother and definitely not engaged" says Ivanov.

"Thanks for clearing that out. And now, is it that wrong to be engaged to her?" Asks Isaiah.

"What?" Asks Ivanov confused.

"Mr Johnson called and was super excited about the engagement. He has a good reputation in the business community and is a very jolly man. I think you should give his daughter a chance" says Isaiah.

"And you did have an incredible time with her" says Enrique and smiles. "Tell me you guys are joking. I had an incredible night with her it doesn't mean I am going to spend my life with her" says Ivanov.

"Ivanov, we are not telling you to marry just yet. But everything happens for a reason. She has come into your life when Otis really wants a mother. Maybe she is god sent. She maybe what you want right now in your life. Both of you." Says Isaiah.

Ivanov looks at Enrique and he says "what's the harm in it anyways?"

Ivanov recalls the day when Otis mentioned about his mama.

"I guess. There is no harm and we did have an incredible night" says Ivanov and smirks.

"Wise decisions are made when a man thinks from his d.i.c.k" says Isaiah and all three laugh. In the evening Ivanov enters his villa and doens't find Otis in his usual play area.

He walks to Otis's room and doesn't find him there too.

He calls Ella and she says "I left Otis with violet"

"Mom I told you I don't trust that girl yet. If you couldn't stay you should have left someone with Otis" says Ivanov and hangs up the call in frustration.

He calls the guards and they say no one saw violet leaving with Otis.

He panicked and shouts at the guards to look for Otis. "What's going on?" Asks EJ seeing the commotion near Ivanov's villa.

"I can't find Otis" says Ivanov panicked.

"Hey hey.. we will find him. Don't panic. Did you look inside?" Asked EJ.

"Yes, he is not in the living room or in his room" says Ivanov.

"Dude this place has what five bedrooms? And you checked only one?" Says EJ and both EJ and Ivanov look into the guest rooms and at last look in Ivanov's room. Ivanov breathe out seeing Otis in violets arms, sleeping peacefully on his bed.

He then hears Isaiah calling for him. Ivanov and EJ slowly close his rooms door and walk down the stares to meet Isaiah.

Ivanov explains what happened and Isaiah says "you need someone close to Otis you can trust to take care of him and you cannot trust anyone else than his mother"

"You are getting back with his mother?" Asks EJ.

"Not her but Johnson's daughter. It's time you settle down" says Isaiah.

Ivanov nods and Isaiah and EJ leave. Ivanov reached his room and freshen ups and after changing into sweats he sits on the bed next to Otis.

He moves his hand on Otis's hair and he moves. When Otis moves violet wakes up and holds Otis close to her.

She looks up at Ivanov and smiles.

"He is okay now. His fever has come down" says violet.

"What are you doing on my bed?" Asks Ivanov.

"Sleeping. You really ask dumb questions" says violet.

"This is my bed" says Ivanov.

"And this is your son too. He wanted to sleep with me. And couldn't fit in his bed so we slept here" says violet.

Listening to them talk Otis opens his eyes and sees Ivanov and gets up and hugs him.

"It's okay buddy. I am here" says Ivanov.

"You usually are not" says violet and gets up and rubs her eyes.

"Come Otis let's freshen up and eat something. I am hungry." Says violet and Otis removes himself from Ivanov and climbs on violet and both leave the room.
