"The Caregiver and the Mob Boss (pt.2)"
❦
Avelina has always cared for those who can't care for themselves. With a baby on the way, and a man who can't stand her, she has to still find a way to put herself first.
Adrik cares for Avelina. Avelina car...

ADRIK LEANED BACK in his chair. He massaged the temples of his head seeing as he had a raging headache that he couldn't get rid of.
He had been searching for Vincent and his sister—both completely missing. He got wind of Vincent leaving to Brazil without Avelina, so Adrik made sure to send men to keep an eye on him. Of course, his men couldn't handle simple instructions and ended up losing him.
Not only that, but Natasha was no where to be found. He wanted to find her before getting Avelina back. He just couldn't risk his sister's life especially while being completely clueless to Vincent's whereabouts. If he knew his sister was protected, then he would feel safer chasing after his own selfish desires.
On his desk, there was a picture of the only woman he ever loved romantically. She was believed to be the only person who ever truly loved him back. Avelina Santos. Sometimes, he found himself wondering what she was doing. He wondered if she found someone else to cherish and love. As much as he didn't want her to forget about him, her happiness meant more to him than anything.
He knew he was armed with enough men to watch over her, but he felt like he didn't deserve to know how her days were spent. It was his fault why he couldn't hold her when he desperately wanted to. It wasn't fair to her to have eyes on her every position. Not only that, but he couldn't handle hearing the words, "she went on a date with another man that isn't you."
He would break down at the thought of another man touching her or fucking her.
He hated Vincent for taking the most precious thing away from him. If it weren't for how important Vincent was to Avelina, seeing as he was the last family she had left, he would have killed him a long time ago.
"Mr. Zolotov, you have a call on line three," Zaria mentioned as she popped her head into his office. Shooing her away with his hand, he lifted the phone up to his ears. She gave a curt nod before closing the door to Adrik's office.
"Hello, sir!" Someone enthusiastically chirped on the line. Adrik narrowed his eyes, desperately hoping that whoever Zaria allowed to contact him wasn't some idiotic ass kisser.
"My name is Clint Kingston, the man you sold HomeCare to..." he began.
Adrik thought back to the moment he decided to no longer want anything to do with the caregiving situation he tangled himself into. He informed Zaria to sell HomeCare immediately for almost dirt cheap. The business wasn't making him much money anyway. He only bought it for Natasha to find Vincent. Adrik had no clue Avelina was a part of Natasha's schemes.
When Adrik didn't respond, the man continued, "Your assistant told me you weren't much of a talker." There was a chuckle that echoed through the phone. "Anyway, I'm calling to speak to you about a woman that worked as your caregiver, Avelina Santos."
