Chapter 219 - 214

Otis woke up in the morning and saw Ivanov sleeping beside him.

He sits up and rubs his eyes and looks around. He was looking for violet.

He moves a little and shakes Ivanov and calls him "dada"

Ivanov opens his eyes and smiles.

"You are up. How are you feeling?" Asks Ivanov and sits up.

"I m fine bat mama has bobos. Ois wans to kiss mama bobo away" says Otis and starts shedding tears and cries and says "ois wan mama"

"Hey don't cry. If you stop crying and get ready I'll take you too see mama" says Ivanov and Otis hugs Ivanov and tries to cool down.

Ivanov helps him clean up and change and he changes into some spare clothes in his old room and comes in the dining area and finds Isaiah, Ella, Enrique, Ruby (Enrique's wife) having breakfast.

"Family breakfast?" Asks Ivanov and Ella gets up from her place and picks Otis in her arms and sits him up in his high chair inbetween Isaiah and herself.

"How are you doing?" Asks Enrique.

"I am okay. Nothing a good night sleep can't fix" says Ivanov and sits down in a chair beside Ella.

Ella looks at Ivanov and says "you would have to stay here for few days. Atleast two days"

"Why?" Asks Ivanov.

"Some electric stuff Ermanno said that needs to fixing and he needs you and Otis out of there" says Isaiah.

"What electric stuff?" Asks Ivanov.

"Don't know. Don't even know what he said. Talk him later but all we know is you and Otis need to stay here for atleast two days" says Isaiah.

"I think it will be convenient for all of us. I can take care of Otis while he is leaving here with us till violet comes back. I Don't have to go to and fro from here to all the way to your villa" says Ella and hands Otis his breakfast.

"Mama, ois mama ish oilet (Otis's mama is violet" says Otis hearing violet's name.

Ivanov looks down at his food and says "I don't violet would want to come back. Atleast not for the salary I was offering her" 

"Ofcourse she wouldn't come back for the salary" says Ruby.

"Exactly" says Ivanov and looks up at Ruby.

Ruby smiles and looks at the smiling Enrique.

"Bro, she won't come back for the salary. She would want to come back for something else" says Enrique.

Ivanov knew what they were saying and looks back at his breakfast.

"What's the matter? Don't you like her?" Asks Ella.

"I do like her but... "Says Ivanov and stops.

"But what?" Asks Ruby.

"She is the daughter of Liam Davis. And she started working for me when I started working on the project. It just can't be co-incidence and even if I ignore that I can't ignore what I saw with my own eyes" says Ivanov.

"What did you see?" Asks Enrique.

"I saw her send images from my computer to someone. She had deleted all the history of her sending the images. Tell me, how am I to ignore that?" Asks Ivanov. 

Everyone was silent for a minute and then Isaiah says "I think we should wait for Joshua and Ermanno to tell the results of their search for evidence to prove violet's innocence or of her being guilty." 

"I hope it only proves her innocence. She was so good with Otis and with you" says Ella. 

"She was. Anyways, I am taking Otis to see her" says Ivanov.

"I don't think they will allow a child into the hospital wards" says Ruby.

"You should take him when she is back at her home" says Enrique.

Ivanov agrees and decides to settle with face time with violet.

Violet was sleeping in deep sleep and Selena was stroking her hair.

"She up?" Asks Rick coming in the room with a coffee for himself and Selena.

"No. She is still sleeping. I am so worried for her? Everytime I called her she spoke about Otis and Ivanov and the whole family. She was really happy there. I was happy for her and now.. I don't know what to feel. What if Ivanov doesn't accept her?" Asks Selena.

"They think she may have leaked information to us and we can't prove she didn't but you know the truth" says Rick taking a seat on the other side of violet's bed opposite Selena.

"Of course I know. Liam and you and even violet have the same quality of honesty. That's what made me fall on love with you all" says Selena.

"You love me?" Asks Rick.

"I love both my kids. Though I didn't give birth to you both. I still love you both and have only loved Liam all my life" says Selena.

"I guess I like you too" says Rick.

"I know" says Selena and then sees violet's phone ringing.

She sees a request for face time and accepts.

"Hi" says Selena looking at Otis in Ivanov's lap.

"Mama" screams Otis and Selena says "mama is sleeping" 

"Ois wan o sheee mama (Otis wants to see mama)" says Otis.

"He is been wanting to see violet from morning. I can't bring him there to the hospital as kids are not allowed" says Ivanov.

"That's okay. Otis and you can come in tomorrow to our house. The doctor said we can take violet home tomorrow" says Selena.

"Thank you. Can I.. I mean Otis just look at violet?" Asks Ivanov and Selena turns the phone to show Otis violet.

"Mama" calls Otis but violet was deep in sleep from the pills the doctor's had given her.

"You mama is sleeping. I promise when she wakes up the first thing I'll do is make her call you" says Selena and Otis looks at Ivanov.

"You can talk to her when she wakes up" says Ivanov.

Otis looks at violet sleeping and kisses the screen.

"Mama bobo dooo away (mama's bobo go away)" says Otis.

"Aw." says Selena and after Ivanov informs Selena that violet can call Otis on Ella's phone , Selena agreed and said good bye and hung the phone.

Violet woke up and face times Otis and both spend a good 20 minutes talking. 

Otis was jumping up and down talking to violet and seeing him like that Ella and Sabrina who were taking care of him were happy.

"All the preparations have started. Everything will be ready by today evening. Tomorrow, after Ivanov comes home he will be so happy to see his surprise" says Sabrina with a big smile.

"I really hope you and Ivanov end up together. I really like you for him and Otis" says Ella.

"But does Ivanov love me?" Asks violet.

"Do you? Asks Selena.

Violet smiles and says "I love both the boys" 

All the three women smile wide with happiness.

"Did you hear Otis. Mama loves you" says Sabrina.

"I ove you mama" says Otis.

"I love you more baby" says violet and kisses the screen of her phone.

Otis kisses the screen too.

After violet is discharged from the hospital Otis, Ella and Sabrina come visit her.

"Ivanov didn't come?" Asks violet having Otis in her lap.

"He is preparing for tomorrow" says Ella and violet nods.

Otis spends the whole day with violet and in the evening leaves with tears in his eyes. Violet had tears too.

Ermanno and Joshua presented all the evidence to the board about violet leaking or not leaking the information and the final decision was made by Elisio and everyone agreed.

The big day had arrived and all the board members where present to welcome the new partners of the large manufacturing factory.

Everyone turned and smiles when Liam Davis and Rick Davis with few of their own board members with top rank associates come in the Devonte corp.

"Welcome ... Partner" says Elisio and shakes hands with Liam Davis.

Ermanno and Joshua showed evidence to the board that the only time violet had used Ivanov's laptop in his study was when her phone was in repair after Otis had dropped it on the ground while he was playing.

Ermanno showed that she opened her email and sent few pictures of wall cabinets to an interior designer. 

Ivanov was appreciated for his hard work and coming up with the wise decision of helping the board choose the Davis's as the best candidate.

"Ivanov, you will be working along side Rick Davis. Hope you boys show us only progress in the factory." Says Elisio and Isaiah taps Ivanov's back.

After a long day Ivanov enters his villa after Isaiah informed him that Otis was there and was waiting for him.

Ivanov was a bit confused to why was Otis in the villa alone waiting for him.

But when he saw Otis run to him when he enters and says "dada, ois and mama make you chapize (Otis and mama have made you a surprise" 

Otis looks up front and sees violet holding the wall for support and says "surprise" and turns to the corner.

Ivanov turns and sees all his trophies and certificates with his violin in the middle of a wall size glass cabinet in the living room.

"Like it?" Asks violet.

Ivanov walks to her with Otis in his arm and pulls her close with his other arm and kisses her lips.

"I love you. Marry me?" Says Ivanov and violet had a shock look on her face.

"What are you thinking?" Asks Ivanov.

"You want to marry me cause of the surprise?" Asks violet.

"I want to marry you cause you brought a new light in my life. In our life" says Ivanov and violet smile and says "yes. I can marry you" and kisses Ivanov.

"Ikki... EWWW" says Otis and both Ivanov and violet laugh.
