"I'm brutally in love with you"
~ 1 year and 2 months ago ~
{ Vivienne }
"I miss you darling. It's just not the same without you anymore" I mumbled sadly, placing the daffodils down on the dirt
I was crouched down, staring at the engraving that haunted me.
Katherine Ross
"Dimitri misses you. Every day" I sighed, standing back up
"You alright baby?" I heard Sugar ask as he appeared beside me
I shook my head
"It's not right. She shouldn't have been caught in the crossfire" I mumbled.
"You're right, she shouldn't have" he muttered, pulling me back into his chest as I continued to stare at the grave before me
"Come on, don't upset yourself baby" he mumbled against my hair, before he began pulling me back to the car.
The past few weeks have been... shit
It feels as though we are just going through the motions
My father...
If I could even call him that... what if it wasn't Lord?
What if my father was someone else? Just because he was in a photograph with my mother... it didn't mean he was my father
"You alright?" Sugar asked when we got into the car, I nodded.
"I'm fine. Just thinking" I said simply
Katherine was dead. Sorin is dead. And for what? For Lord to just get away?
He sighed, before I felt his tatted hands run over my legs, pulling me across the seats into his lap, hugging me to him.
"I love you" he mumbled.
I hugged him back, with every bit of strength in me. He was my rock in any situation.
"I love you too sugar" I said quietly.

"You think you can find him?" I asked Dom, watching as he typed away on his computers
I didn't have time for his other interests. I just needed to know if pursuing Lord in search of answers was actually worth it or not.
"Given enough time. I think so" he said
I nodded, spinning side to side in the desk chair next to him
My whole body still ached. So badly
"We don't have time" sugar said sternly, striding into the room.
"Why?" I asked, looking up at him as he leant down to kiss my forehead
"Because we're going to Italy" he said
"Italy?" I asked hopefully. I loved Italy
It was my home. I was happy in Russia but Italy would always be the one place I loved more than anything.
"Yes baby, so go pack" he said
"Why are we going?" I asked, taking his hand to help me up from the chair
"Business" he said simply, entwining our hands for a moment and turning to Dom.
"If you find anything, call us" he said determined
"Of course, is Cassian going with you?" Dom asked, sugar nodded once
"What business?" I went on
"Nothing for you to worry about baby, you're not coming to the meetings, you need rest" he said.
"If I want to come, I'll come" I said determined
"No baby. You're resting" he said
"Then what's the point of me coming to Italy at all if you're just going to coop me up?" I asked, pulling away from him
"Because I'll be damned if I leave you here without me" he argued.
"And I'll be damned if you do business without me" I said, crossing my arms and holding strong, despite the pain in my ribs.
He sighed
"We're not arguing about this" he said
"You're right. We're not" I said, walking out of the room
"Baby" he called after me
"Yes sugar?" I asked sweetly, heading up the stairs slowly.
"I'm assuming we're in agreement?" He inquired
"Mhmm" I said offhandedly
"Of course we are. We go to Italy. You do business... and I stay locked in a room" I reeled off.
His expression faltered, and he looked at me in that way he always does when he thinks I'm being 'difficult'
He thinks I'm 'difficult'? He doesn't know what's coming...
"Don't be like that, it's for your safety, you're not able to protect yourself right now" he said, following me
"And you're not gonna be able to touch me right now... or for the inevitable future in fact" I mused, strolling down to our bedroom.
"You're gonna be like that huh?" He said casually, appearing in the doorway
"What? It's not my fault I'm fragile... I'm weak baby... you couldn't possibly touch me in fear of breaking me... right?" I asked, turning to face him.
"Stop using my argument as your own" he said
"Shouldn't have had an 'argument' for yourself in the first place sugar... you brought this on yourself" I said, pulling a suitcase out from under the bed.

"I'll get him" sugar said, picking Dimitri up from his seat
I sighed in frustration
"I'm in pain but I can carry my own son" I huffed, making my way out of the jet.

I heard him sigh back
"You're recovering" He said
"Mm... from the migraine you're giving me" I snapped, taking Dimitri off him, whilst Cassian just laughed
"Mama" He smiled, grabbing a curl of hair.
"Come on baby, you still love me don't you?" I asked him sweetly, he nodded, beaming from ear to ear
I began my way down the steps of the jet to the car, hearing him stride along behind me with Cassian and the bags.
"Since when did I not love you?" Sugar grumbled
"Since you decided to treat me like a baby" I threw back.
"True" Cassian commented
"It's for..."
"For your safety, I know I know" I finished for him, getting in the back of the car with Dimitri in my lap
"You're gonna be the death of me" He mumbled, sitting next to me.
"True" Cassian said again, getting in the passenger seat
"Will you shut up?" Lucian snapped
"Not my fault you pissed her off" he mumbled
"Well hopefully we are the death of you... isn't that right darling?" I asked Dimitri, who just nodded along and clapped at the sight of his father.
"Traitor" Sugar mumbled at him
I rolled my eyes
"He's a toddler sugar" I said sternly
"There's no specific age to be a traitor baby girl" he replied, his sunglasses shielding his eyes before he turned to look out the window.
I glanced at my little baby boy, who smiled back ten fold before I leant up and pecked sugar's cheek
He seemed surprised for a moment, before he acted like it hadn't phased him and the car began to move.

"You settled?" Sugar asked, I rolled my eyes at him, ignoring him
He'd literally put me to bed
The hotel was nice, but that didn't mean I wanted to be cooped up here for the next few days.
"Baby?" He asked sterner
I faced away from him, laying down on my side
"Baby girl" he said darker
I remained quiet.
I didn't hear anything, until I was abruptly pulled onto my back
I looked up at Sugar, hovering over me as he grabbed my jaw gently
"Thought I was resting?" I asked annoyed
"Mm, you were, until you got petty" he mumbled, trailing kisses along my jaw.
"I'm not being petty. Just resting like you said" I argued back
"Maybe it's not rest you need... maybe it's discipline" he mused, burying his head in my neck.
I felt his kisses along my skin as his hand ghosted down my body under the cover
His fingers had just grazed my breasts when we heard Dimitri cry
I felt his forehead lean against my shoulder and he sighed.
"Your son needs you sugar" I said, he groaned
"Mm, I need you" he said
"And I need freedom" I countered, he looked up at me annoyed
"But we don't all get what we want baby, so go" I said, he sighed.
And eventually got up to attend to our little baby
Dimitri was the loudest baby I think I had ever encountered.

I woke up to the sun beaming through the curtains
A rare occurrence in Russia, so I was buzzing with happiness when I got up
Sugar wasn't in the bed, but I could hear the shower running, so I wandered out onto the balcony.
Italy was beautiful
It was the one place I wished we visited more often
I wanted Dimitri to have memories of my home country, as well as Lucian's.
Even just the morning breeze made me feel content
The air here was so warm, Russia was great, but Italy was my perfection
"Morning" I heard sugar say, before his hands found my hips and he rested his chin on my shoulder, looking out over the balcony with me.
We were quiet for a while... just being
Before...
"Dom called" he mumbled
"Mm?" I hummed
"He thinks he's found a few addresses linked to the organisation" he explained.
I turned around
"Really?" I asked
"Yeah, it'll take him a few days to go through them though, check out what they are and who he can connect them to" he said, I nodded
I know it would be a long process of going though them all
But the hope was there.
"Why are you so dressed up?" I asked, looking over his suit
"I told you... business baby" he mumbled, kissing me on the forehead
"Then I'm coming" I said determined.
"No. You're staying here and if you step one foot outside of this hotel I will punish you" he said without room for argument.
I huffed, turning back round to look at the view again.
"Go then" I said simply
He sighed
"I'll be back before you know it" he said, kissing the back of my head one last time before I eventually heard the bedroom door shut.
Fine. If he wants to leave me here
I might as well help in the search for Lord.
So with that thought... I rang Dom.
