Third POV
“Son, did you get any information?”
“No dad, I am waiting for Artur” Leonid nodded. Both of them just stood there without any further talk. Next minute Akim and Artur entered.
“Boss, I retrieved some footage”.
“Show” and he played it on his laptop. All four of them focused on it and they got a thousand volt shock after looking at the man.
“I-Is that Rodion?” Leonid was shocked to see the familiar face on cctv after so many years.
“Yes dad, he has finally shown himself”.
“Akim, gather all our men and… ” Before Caesar could instruct him about his next step, someone barged into his office.
“Boss!” One of his men came running.
“What?” He looked at him in anger for interrupting his conversation.
“I-Igor… Some people th-threw him outside our gate” The second he heard Igor’s name, he immediately ran outside.
As soon as he reached the main door, his heart stopped after seeing his men putting Igor inside the car who is badly hurt and bleeding a lot.
“Call the hospital, NOW!” He yelled and instantly was beside Igor.
“Oh my god! Igor!” Rozlina screamed when she saw his condition and tears were rolling from her eyes non-stop.
‘Igor, pls be safe. Pls come back to me pls…I’ll never let you go, just be ok’ Caesar continuously chanted it while looking at him from the mirror and his heart was beating fast as each second passed while Rozlina put Igor’s head on her lap.
“Caesar! Caesar!” He came out of his trance after his mother yelled his name.
“Huh…When will we reach?” Next second he screamed at his driver who panicked after seeing his boss’s rage.
“J-Just a few minutes boss” In fear of Caesar he increased his speed and even broke few traffic rules.
Caesar
Everyone was ready the minute we reached the hospital. The doctor took him to ICU immediately while we waited outside the room until…
“Mr. and Mrs. Mikhailov, your son is…brutally tortured. There are marks at the back of some sharp thing, his ribs are broken, his left leg is factured and there was a bleeding in the brain, we stopped it but he will feel dizzy for a few days”.
Mom, dad and I we all froze when doctor told us about Igor’s situation.
“Can we se him?” Mom was the first one to get out of her state.
“We’ll shift him in the room, then you can but he is still unconscious” Doctor left afterwards.
“My baby!…Leo, I can’t see him like this. I just can’t” We all were devastated to see Igor in this state.
“Pls, take care of yourself Roz. You have to be strong for him” Dad held mom in his arms to console her.
“W-Who did this?” Mom asked after few minutes.
“Roz, I’ll tell just come out with me. Take some rest first” Dad took mom out despite her refusal. But she first kissed his forehead and then left the room.
“Everything will be fine” Dad comforted me before going with mom.
Now, I was alone with him. ‘All this is because of me, you are in this state just because of me…It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let you go far from me. I shouldn’t’ and for 10 minutes I just stood at the same place from beginning.
Then, I took small steps and reached beside him. With courage, I put my hand forward to caress his cheek and i shivered the second I touched him…
“Come back, Igor…Pls, I can’t live without you. I can’t let you leave me again like this…I can’t…You have to come so that I can show how much I love you. I love you, I love you the most in this whole world” My eyes never for once left his face and didn’t even knew when my tears started flowing.
For the first time, I confessed my feelings for him. The feelings that I tried to lock inside me all these years.
“C-C” I heard a sound and saw that he has opened his eyes, he was looking at me.
“You are awake! You are awake, thank god. Are you ok? Should I call doctor?” I started panicking, did not know what to do but he held my finger…
“y-you l-l-love me?” He said in a very low voice but still it reached my ears in this quiet room.
‘He heard me, he heard me confessing’. Igor was just looking at me, not breaking eye contact for a second. He was waiting for my answer. ‘Uh, What should I do?’
“I-I… “
“Igor!” I was interrupted by mom who came crashing door with dad behind her.
“Oh my god, I was so scared. Are you ok? Are you in pain? Do you need anything?”
“Mom relax, he is fine”.
“You will never leave me again” Mom scolded him but still kissed his forehead.
After a few minutes, doctor came and did his checkup…
“He is fine but we’ll still keep him for observation”.
“Then we can take him?” Mom was so happy to see his son awake and was eager to take him home.
“Sure. Mr. Smirnov, you pls take rest. I’ll take a round after few hours”.
“Thank you doctor” He was able to clearly speak now, after drinking water.
I sent mom and dad home so that they can also take rest while I stayed with Igor…
“Did you find anything?” Igor was sleeping so I handled few matters with Akim.
“No boss”
“Igor was absolutely right” Igor’s words clicked me instantly.
“About what?”
“That we have a mole among us”.
“Really? Did Igor said anything about him?”
“Before he can say all this happened… I shouldn’t have let him go alone”.
“Akim, do one thing take Artur’s help and go through all our staff and gang members information once again. If you have even a slightest doubt dig him or her out”.
“Yes boss”.
“I want the report by tomorrow evening” He nodded and left. I went and sat beside Igor. ‘He looks so calm and gentle’ I said with a smile on my face.
Igor is sleeping since two hours and I just sat there the whole time looking at him…
“Ugh-Ugh” He coughed and I gave water to him.
“Thanks” And helped him sit in bed before sitting back at my place. For a few minutes none of us said anything and tried to avoid each other or maybe the topic.
But then a nurse came…
“Sir, I have to change your bandages” I stepped aside when she reached us.
She started changing his bandages and when she pulled his shirt up, my eyes were only stucked there. His abs and toned muscles were breathtaking ‘My man is really hot’. I didn’t even know when she finished changing because I was so engrossed in my wild imagination.
“It’s done, sir” She said and I came out of my trance.
“What?” But Igor was just staring directly at me with a smirk.
“What were you looking at when she was changing my bandages?”
“Nothing”.
“Really?”
“Yes, really. Now shut up and rest” He just smiled and layed back.
“Caesar… the earlier c-confession” After a minute he said and I started sweating.
“We’ll talk at home” I tried to say with confidence but from inside I was panicking. He just hummed without any further conversation and we both spent the night in the hospital room in silence.
