Chapter 213 - 208

Ivanov couldn't move from his place or speak. 

In front of him stood the girl he thought he could have a future with. The girl he fell in love with. He called her his Diana but she just left. She left not wanting to live in a large family or Ivanov being only a small part of the Devonte corp. She left taking some money leaving Ivanov's love and their child behind.

"What are you doing here?" Asks Remy standing beside Ivanov.

Diana smiles and says "I see you three.  where is the other one?" 

"I am here," says Ermanno coming in the room joining Remy, EJ and Ivanov.

"Hmm.. how are you, boys?" Asks Diana.

"Answer the f.u.c.k.i.n.g question, Diana. What are you doing here?" Asks EJ.

"I want to talk to Ivanov alone without his bodyguards." Says Diana.

"Whatever you want to talk to me, talk in front of them," says Ivanov not wanting to fall weak when alone with Diana.

Diana looks at all four and says "fine. Anyways I have to leave to Milan soon. Got a fashion show there. So, Jessica Johnson, your ex-fiance contacted me recently" 

"She was not my fiance," says Ivanov.

"Really? But the tabloids said something else" says Diana.

"According to those tabloids, you are a very sweet girl. So I guess it's all fake news," says EJ.

"Hmm..." Says Diana making an irritating sound looking at EJ.

"What did she want?," asks Ermanno.

"She wanted me to join her and expose Ivanov for being a playboy and ruin his image," said Diana.

"You would have agreed in a heartbeat," says Remy.

Diana doesn't answer Remy and looks at Ivanov.

"I promised you I won't come back and yet you took orders to keep me away. I don't want to come back to you Ivanov and don't want to be part of your extra-large life. I am at the peak of my career. I will be soon walking the ramp for Victoria's Secret fashion show. I don't want to be involved in anything. Neither your past nor present or even future. I told her no but she doesn't look like she would back down. Just wanted to let your know" says Diana and Ivanov look at her with a soft expression.

"Snap out of it" whispers EJ into Ivanov's ear.

"Okay. Thank you for telling me." Says Ivanov and nods. 

Diana nods and starts to walk out when a 3 yr old rushes in and bumps into her and falls down.

"Otis" calls Violet and runs behind him.

Otis looks behind him and gets up and hides behind Diana.

Agnolo and Lucus (Remy's son) run into the room too with Rose and Katrina running behind them.

Rose caught Lucus and Katrina catches Agnolo.

"Otis" calls Violet panting and holding her waist for her to breath.

"What are you all doing?" Asks Ermanno.

"Hubby, these three are so naughty. They are impossible to catch when they are running like this" says Rose trying to hold Lucus in one place.

"Seriously, hold them please," says Katrina and hands Agnolo to Ermanno.

Rose hands Lucus to Remy.

Diana looks at Ermanno holding Agnolo and Remy holding Lucus so she knew the boy behind her was her son.

She looks down behind her and sees Otis holding her jeans and looking up at her with the same grey eyes she has.

"Otis Devonte. You better not get caught by me" says violet and approaches Diana but stops when she sees Diana looking at her.

Diana creases her eyebrows looking at violet and then smirks.

"Oh hey," says violet.

"Mama," says Otis and laughs.

"You little thing," says violet and goes around Diana and catches Otis.

Otis laughs as violet carries him in her arms.

"If that's all you have to say then you should leave and thank you for informing us," says Ermanno.

Diana looks at Ivanov and smiles and goes close to him and kisses his cheek and whispers "watch the people who are close to you"

Ivanov creases his eyebrows and Diana stands in front of him and says "you have always chosen the wrong girl Ivanov. Hope you make wise choices in the future" 

She turns to look at Otis and walks to him.

When Diana approaches Otis he places his head on violet's shoulder and looks at Diana through the corner of his eyes.

"Will, you ever tell him?" Asks Diana caressing Otis's cheek.

"No," says Ivanov and Diana smile.

"Good. I would like it that way" says Diana and looks at violet one more time and walks away.

"She is not supposed to be in here," says Remy.

"Didn't you have a restraining order against her?" Asks EJ.

"Yes, he has. We should let the cops know" says Ermanno and Ivanov nods.

"Holy shit. When you said Otis's mother's name was Diana. I didn't think it would be Diana Williams, the supermodel" says violet.

"I didn't like her. She made feel fat" says Rose.

"She seems like a bitch," says Katrina.

"People, do you even realise what's happening here? Otis is Diana Williams son" says violet in excitement.

"NO" screams Ivanov and takes Otis from violet and says "he is my son. Only my son. That fake piece of plastic is no one to my son. Understand?" Says Ivanov and violet just stares at him.

Otis, Agnolo and Lucus start crying listening to Ivanov scream in anger.

Ivanov feels guilty and looks around.

"It's okay man," says Remy and leaves with Lucus and Katrina.

Ermanno tries to cool down Agnolo and follows Remy.

"Get it together man. And don't forget we are family. We got your back" says EJ and leaves too.

Violet takes Otis from Ivanov's hand and says "it okay Otis. Let's get you some food" and walks away from there.

Ivanov stands in his place for a minute and turns to follow everyone else when he sees Sabrina standing in the corner.

Sabrina smiles at him and says "don't overthink and let time and your heart take its course."

Ivanov walks to Sabrina and hugs her.

"I don't know what to do?" Says Ivanov.

"Of course you do," says Sabrina.

Ivanov breaks the hug and looks at her and asks "I do?"

"Aanhann. Just listen to your heart. It is never wrong" says Sabrina.

"My heart loved Diana," says Ivanov.

"And the reward is in your arms calling you dada. Your heart was not wrong to love her and it's not wrong to give violet a chance too" says Sabrina.

"How do you know?" Asks Ivanov.

"I may not be book smart but I am family smart," says Sabrina and Ivanov laughs and hugs her.

"You are mummy of the mansion," says Ivanov and Sabrina giggles.

"It's so beautiful," says Bella looking at the cute chain and pendant in Emerald's neck given by Sabrina.

"It's a joint gift," says Elisio.

"Sure," says Rose and Elisio narrows his eyes on her.

"And this is for you," says Sabrina and gives an identical set to Bella.

"Mummy used to do that to us too. When even Julia or I received a gift the other received an identical one too" says Aria.

"Girls get all the gifts," says EJ.

"Girls are a gift to us," says Vincenzo.

"They are?" Asks Raffaele.

"Don't worry. Papa will teach us about girls when we grow up" says Xavier and everyone look at Elisio.

"What? you want me to teach them now?" Asks Elisio and everyone together screams "NO"

After cake cutting and dinner, everyone retired for the night.

Ivanov carries Otis to bed and though he was yawning he was calling for violet.

"I am right behind you Otis," says violet holding his hand while Ivanov carried him.

As soon as Ivanov placed Otis on his bed he started closing his eyes.

"Mama," says Otis and violet kisses his forehead and says "I am right here"

Ivanov leaves them in the room and walks to the bar in his villa.

"You shouldn't drink so much," says violet coming behind Ivanov.

"Diana settled for 10 million dollars instead of 50 million dollars just so I don't tell the media that she is Otis's mother. I hope you can keep this secret too and not tell this to anyone" says Ivanov.

"You know what you should do? You should tell everyone what a horrible person she is" says violet taking a seat next to him.

"Everyone makes choices what they feel is fit. She chose to not be a mother. I chose to be a father. It's our choice" says Ivanov.

"I would love to be Otis's mother if I get a chance," says violet.

Ivanov looks at violet who was smiling a shy smile.

"Really?" Asks Ivanov.

"He does like me," says violet. 

"I like you too," says Ivanov.

"So want to kiss and seal the deal?" Asks violet.

"I thought you were angry that I offered money for s.e.x?" Smirks Ivanov.

"Woah. No s.e.x yet. Just a kiss. I couldn't forget about your lips since you kissed me" says violet.

"I can do more than a kiss," says Ivanov.

"More?" Asks violet and Ivanov smirks.
