Chapter 219 - 214 (1/2)
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.
