Chapter 218 - 213

Violet opens her eyes and sees Selena, Liam, Rick, Ivanov and Remy walk in. 

Selena hugs Violet and starts crying.

"Mama, it hurts" says Violet and Selena let's go of her and apologises.

"I am sorry" says Selena.

"It's okay, mama. And why are you crying. I am fine" says violet.

"No you are not. Look at your beautiful face. Oh god my baby" cries Selena.

Violet tries to get up a little and hugs Selena.

"Nothing you can't fix. Hold me in your arms and I'll be fine" says violet.

"My baby" says Selena and kisses her forehead.

"Baby? Oh god. Otis" says violet and looks at Ivanov.

"Don't worry. He is fine" says Ivanov.

"I want to see him. He must be scared" says violet and tries to get up but Selena stops her.

"You are hurt. You need rest" says Selena.

"But Otis.. "starts violet.

"He is with my family. He is sleeping in the next room" says Ivanov.

"Please I want to see him" says violet.

Ivanov looks at Liam and Rick.

They look back at Ivanov and then eachother.

"Violet, you lied to us" says Liam.

"I am sorry and we can discuss this later. Let me please..." She starts.

"He is in pediatric care. We will leave with him soon. Once you are better maybe come meet him. Till then rest" says Ivanov.

"Come meet him? Your are firing me?" Asks violet.

Ivanov walks close to violet and Selena moves away from her.

Ivanov caresses her cheek and says "I can never pay back what you have given me. I am indebted to you for life. You protected Otis from any harm. The doctors examined him and couldn't find even a scratch on him. And you.. you are beaten and bruised. Even during the concussion you were protesting Otis. Thank you is a small word to describe of the gratitude I hold for you" 

"So I am not fired?" Asks violet.

"We'll see. But as soon as you get better I'll bring Otis to you" says Ivanov and violet starts shedding tears and nods.

"Don't leave him in the dark" she says and Liam looks at Selena with sadness in his eyes.

Rick was standing next to Liam and he side hugs his father.

Sabrina and Elisio walk in violet's room and Sabrina walks to violet and smiles at her.

"I knew I made the right decision to hire you. You are a very brave girl. We all are very thankful to you for being with Otis. Hope you get well soon" says Sabrina. 

Sabrina looks at Liam and says "we apologise for violet's condition. Hope you understand if we could we would not let this happen"

"It's was no one's fault except the culprits who deserve punishment" says Liam.

"And they will be punished." Says Elisio.

Ivanov looks at Rick and signals him to come out.

Seeing Rick and Ivanov walk out Liam, Elisio and Remy walk out too.

Remy tells Ivanov he will leave with Isaiah and Ella with Otis and leaves.

"I know what you want to say. We will keep violet away from your son" says Liam sadly.

"It's just that all of this is too much to take in" says Ivanov. 

"And the fact that she can be a threat to Otis. We strongly suggest you keep her away." Says Elisio.

"My sister is fine Mr Devonte. She is only being a good person" says Rick.

"And she is indeed the best. When Otis's mother couldn't love him. Violet showed him the love he was unaware of. But I don't know what to do with what ever I came to know today" says Ivanov.

"We understand and we wish we could prove that she didn't pass on any information to us while she was with you" says Rick.

"Don't worry. We will get all the information we need soon" says Ivanov.

"Soon being before we announce our new partners day after tomorrow" says Elisio.

Liam and Rick nod and knew there was no chance for them to get to be their partners.

Violet smiles at Sabrina and says "I have something planned for Ivanov. I have made all the arrangements and was hoping to surprise him day after tomorrow after the big announcement. But now I don't think I can be there so would you help me?"

"Of course I would love to. How can I help?" Says Sabrina and Violet smiles and tells Sabrina her plan.

Sabrina was in tears after hearing what violet had planned.

"God bless you" says Sabrina and wipes her tears.

"Fiore" calls Elisio and Sabrina sniffs.

"Fiore are you crying again?" Asks Elisio.

"No" says Sabrina and sniffs again.

"Come" says Elisio and Sabrina takes his hand in her hand and smiles at Selena and waves her bye. 

Sabrina looks at Liam and says "take care".

"You too" says Liam and smiles wide but stops smiling when he sees Elisio looking at him.

Elisio and Sabrina leave the room and Ivanov stays back a moment and says "I wish I could stay..."

"No. Otis needs you" says violet.

Ivanov nods and says good bye and leaves.

Violet looks at Rick who was staring at her.

"Explain yourself violet" says Rick and violet looks at Liam.

She tells them how she got the job in the mansion and fell in with Otis.

"And Ivanov?" Asks Selena.

"I like him too. He wanted to give us a chance" says violet.

"I don't think he will now. He thinks you gave us information regarding the tenders." Says Liam.

"But I didn't" she says.

"You know that. And we know that. But they don't" says Liam. 

"Let's see what happens. But for now. Let's get you better and take you home" says Rick.

Violet knew it would be difficult to convince Ivanov she didn't send any information to her father or brother. But hoped he trust her.

.......

Ivanov went to Isaiah's side of the mansion and went into the room which was a spare room for the kids and saw Otis sleeping and Ella and Isaiah seated beside his bed.

Ivanov moves his hand over Otis's hair and leans down and kisses his forehead.

"He won't wake till morning" says Isaiah.

"What a mess" says Ella.

"What did I get myself into?" Says Ivanov.

"There is always a beautiful rainbow after a big storm. You just have to wait for the storm to cool down" says Isaiah.

Ivanov nods and picks up Otis in his arms and takes him to his old room to sleep.

Ivanov holds Otis close through out the night.

He was almost falling asleep when his phone rang.

He looks at it and sees violet's request for face time. 

Ivanov accepts and violet says "please don't hang up. I just want to see Otis."

Ivanov nods and shows her the sleeping Otis. 

"What will you tell him where I am  when he wakes up in the morning ?" Asks violet.

"I'll tell him you are getting better in the hospital" says Ivanov and violet nods.

"Good night Mr boss" says violet and Ivanov nods and cuts the call.

What was Ivanov to do?

His only hope was Ermanno who was going to hack Ivanov's computer to see the previous sent files and Joshua to take out past last one and half months CCTV footage to prove violet's innocence.

Ivanov was really hoping violet was innocent. But what did she send from his computer?

........

"You want me to keep Ivanov out of his villa for two days?" Asks Ermanno.

"Yes, please" says Sabrina.

"Why?" Asks Ermanno.

"Because I said so. Please" demands Sabrina.

Ermanno smiles and says "if you are demanding something don't add please in the end. It becomes a request" 

"So you will do it?" Asks Sabrina.

"Ofcourse. Anything for you mummy" says Ermanno and Sabrina says "I love you my baby"

Ermanno walks in his room and finds Rose who had Xavier, Emerald and Agnolo in their room on their bed sleeping.

"Why are the kids sleeping here?" Asks Ermanno.

Rose gets up from the bed and hugs Ermanno and starts crying. 

"Hey, everyone is safe. Don't cry mio Rosa" says Ermanno and hugs her back.

"Oh good you are back dad. Mom has been such a cry baby" says Xavier and walks out of their room half asleep.

"He is too much like dad" says Ermanno.

Ermanno picks Emerald and takes her to her room and places her on her bed and covers her up with the comforter. He leaves her room after he kisses her forehead.

Rose takes Agnolo to his room and sheds tears seeing him and kisses his forehead and leaves his room.

When she enters their room Ermanno takes Rose in his arms and holds her close for her to sleep in his arms.

"I was so scared" says Rose.

"It's okay. Everyone is safe now" says Ermanno.

"Hubby, I think violet will make an excellent mother for Otis. And a great wife too" says Rose.

"Let them figure it out themselves. We shouldn't make them see it" says Ermanno and Rose nods and sleeps in Ermanno's arms.
