Chapter 76

Furious, Anton drove out of the parking lot in his car with an unconscious Sophie by his side. Blood was still dripping from her nose. 

"Fuck!" He cursed, quickly calling one of his subordinates. Before the man could ask what was going on, Anton ordered in a dangerous voice. 

"Don't let anyone slow us down or follow us. No one is to know where I'm going now"

As he drove out onto the main road, he looked murderously at the car parked on the other side, which immediately started its engine when it saw him leaving the office.

However, they didn't manage to follow them because one of the oncoming cars efficiently blocked their way. The men in the car looked at the blocked ones with a stupid smile. 

"Not today gentlemen" They waved their finger at the window and patiently waited for the boss to calmly drive away.

After driving only a few streets, the situation repeated itself. More cars were blocked.

Anton knew very well that Vasili had their eyes on them all, and that in this way, they wanted to monitor their every move, but he had the twins and Zick, who was not going to let the smallest bug slip through.

That was how Anton reached one of the hospitals safely, without worrying that Vasili would find out.

With a deft movement, he took his sister in his arms and went inside, demanding a doctor. Sophie was taken to one of the VIP rooms, where detailed tests were performed and appropriate medications were administered.

Anton paced nervously in the hallway back and forth, effectively scaring off the rest of the people with his behavior.

Knowing that it was inevitable and that he would eventually find out, Anton called his father to tell him about the whole incident.

He didn't want to tell him yet what had happened with Vasili a few days ago, knowing that the old man had his own ways.

However, Sophie's condition forced him to call earlier.

Confirming with the doctor that his sister was only very exhausted and would be as good as new after waking up, he sat down in a chair next to the sleeping woman with relief and called Gregorej. 

"What's wrong? Can't you handle Vasili? Should I come and help you?" A slightly joking voice came over the phone. 

"Sophie ended up in the hospital from exhaustion" 

"What!" Gregorej shouted so loudly that Anton had to move the phone away from his ear so as not to damage his eardrums. 

"She's fine!" He shouted, knowing that his father would start panicking soon. "She just needs some sleep. Remember how she used to tell you what happens to her when she overworks? That's what happened now" He replied quickly massaging his temple.

Not only did he have so many problems on his mind, this also came up. He promised himself that as soon as he saw Darell, he would give him a good slap for not looking after his sister. 

"Why did you go there if you can't look after your sister's health, hmm?" Disappointed Gregorej scolded his son. 

"She looked fine and didn't show that anything was wrong. How was I supposed to see that?"

Anton was furious and felt guilty. Sophie really didn't let on that anything was wrong with her.

How much had she suffered before to be able to hide it like that?

Banging his fist against the wall, Anton tried to calm his rage.

"Don't let it happen again. Your sister has been through a lot. We have to take better care of her," Gregorej said in a much softer voice.

Knowing how easy it was to get Sophie into such a state, they had to take better care of her.

Calming down a bit, Anton told his father about Vasili's tricks and what they had decided. A few minutes later, the men ended the conversation and Anton called one of the nurses.

After administering the medicine, Sophie could be taken home. Staying in the hospital was too risky and Anton had to get her out of there as soon as possible.

Ignoring Darell's opinion, he took his sister to his apartment and put her in his bed. He ordered food for Sophie, sat by her side and made a few important phone calls.

Calling Noah, he learned that Darell was in no better condition than Sophie. Snorting dissatisfied into the phone, he shook his head. 

"What kind of a cunt is he to be so weak? I guess I'll have to train him a bit. Someone so weak is not a good match for my sister." 

"Anton" Noah's soft voice made him understand to stop slandering his boss. "You don't know what Darell went through before. You shouldn't say such things about him"

"What did he go through?!" Anton couldn't take it anymore.

He left the room where Sophie was sleeping and walked away from it so he could shout his thoughts.

"You want to tell me that he had it harder than me?! That he had to fight harder for his life than I did?! That he had to worry about his people and family like I did?!"

Hearing the silence in the receiver, he knew that Noah was also aware of all this.

"I have to take care of everyone and everything. No one cares about what I feel. I can't be weak and expect help to come. It's hard for me too..." He finished weakly.

He was Ruslanov's son. From a young age, he was expected to be the best in everything he did. His father didn't spare him either.

He was supposed to be a strong, ruthless man who had no weaknesses. People were supposed to be afraid of him.

"I care, and you know of that" Noah's firm voice came over the phone. "You know you have me and you can tell me everything. You can cry and complain with me like always. I know how hard it is for you and I'm not going to justify anyone. It's just... everyone has experienced their nightmares in life. If you hadn't met me, would you be like you are now?"

Anton smiled slightly hearing his words.

"No. It's possible that I would have lost my life long ago if it weren't for you" He replied quietly.

"The same thing is happening to your sister and my boss now. They've been through a lot in life and have found someone who can change them. They just need more time. Don't write him off so quickly." 

"What would I do without you?" Anton sighed into the phone, calming down completely.

Noah had a positive effect on him. If it weren't for him, he would probably have become a ruthless killing machine under his father's command. 

"Bring Sophie to the boss and let's spend the night together. I want to listen to your worries, eat dinner with you, stroke your soft hair and fall asleep peacefully by your side, hm?"

Anton liked the idea. However, he wasn't entirely convinced about leaving his sister with Darell the weakling.

However, after a few sentences from Noah, he reluctantly agreed.

Sophie was once again put in the car and transported to Darell's apartment.

Tomas and Noah helped carry Darell to his bedroom. Leaving dinner on the table for them and making sure they were okay, the men went back to their homes.

In the morning, when the sun had not yet peeked over the horizon, Darell woke up, looking around the room.

Noticing Sophie sleeping next to him, he jumped up into a sitting position and looked her over carefully.

Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling much better, he went to take a shower and see if there was anything to eat.

What had happened yesterday was completely his fault and he was well aware of that. He couldn't let something like that happen again, even if his company suffered because of it.

His and Sophie's health were the most important things now.

Seeing the food on the table, he warmed it up and took it to the bedroom to share with Sophie. Moving her arm slightly, the man began to wake her up. 

"Sophie. You have to eat something. Come on, we're waking up" He spoke quietly into her ear.

However, her response was a grunt of dissatisfaction and turning her back to him. A playfully smile appeared on Darell's face. 

"I'll lick your beautiful pussy if you wake up" He purred sexily into her ear.

This time the woman turned onto her back and her purr was much more pleasant.

"Would you like me to take care of your pussy first?"

Darell positioned himself over the sleeping woman and gently began to kiss her neck, moving down with kisses. His hands got rid of the lower part of Sophie's clothes, allowing him full access to her throbbing entrance.

Due to the workload, they didn't even have time to satisfy their desires and Sophie couldn't hide her excitement.

She woke up at the same time as Darell but she wanted to lie down for a while before getting up.

However, her lover's offer made her want to feel a little pleasure.
