21 Severely bruised

Nikolai was abusive to his wife. When they had the chance to escape they fled from Russia to America. But the old man followed them to torture Vladimir. He pushed him into forming his clan which led to the arrest of Nikolai two years ago. His face flushed with anger and he stood up from the chair and walked to where they were seated. “My mother is severely bruised. I need you to go treat her wounds.” Vladimir said. “Mr. Novikov.” Apollo stood up from his chair. “I need you to go there now.” Vladimir ordered. “I—if you could wait for some time and send someone else. I’m having dinner with my—” “Date?” Vladimir shake his head. “I pay you fifty thousand dollars monthly just to treat my family. Would you be family if I deduct good amount from your salary?” “He is not going anywhere.” Linda stood up. “I didn’t ask for your opinion. Do yourself a favour and remain seated.” He said. “Or what?” She tilted her head. “Stay out of this Linda or you wouldn’t like to see my other side.”
