Chapter 2
Roman Voss's POV
"Sir,the shipment just landed.Mr. sterling asked to see you. "
My assistant,Annabelle, spoke as I stared at her.
"And....?" "You have a meeting by 12,sir."
"Cancel it.Call Juliana."
Grandma was supposed to go out with me today to her favorite restaurant.
It was a small.cozy place she found months ago.
I didn't have time,so I asked my sister to go with her.
"Juli? Are you there already?" I asked,placing my iPad on my lap to take the phone from Annabelle.
Her soft sob reached my ear."Juliana!what happened? "
"Grandma,she is in the hospital,"
"What!" Anabelle shifted,the intensity of my voice scared her.
I hung up and ordered the driver to turn around,but we had reached the office.
"Sir,are you -"
"Get out." I barked at my assistant. She hurriedly walked out.
I took my phone,"Damien..someone just harmed my grandma! I want that bastard before i get to the basement!" I barked instructions to my right hand, man.
Who dare to mess with my grandma?!
"Take me to the hospital,"
I told the driver who quietly drove out of the company.
I clenched my fist,if anything happened to my grandma,I would wipe out that person's entire generation.
My grandma is my everything!
A few minutes later,I walked into the vip section of the hospital,anger surge through me as I saw my grandma,on the bed,unconscious,with bandage wrapped on her head. A message popped up on my phone. It was Damien.
'She's here.' I smirked. She was going to pay dearly.
"Look who finally decided to show up." I heard a familiar voice,i knew it was my mum,even without looking from my phone
"Mum." I spoke uninterested, as if asking why she was here?
"Why can't I be here? She is my mother."Didn't look that way 20 years ago when you abandoned us."
She glared at me and hissed.
"So,you still have not forgiven me after all these years?"
I laughed.Not a hearty one.More like, "You are unbelievable kind of laugh.
"If you were me,would you forgive a woman that never made home feel like home?"
"Or a woman that made me hate my total existence, I wonder why you are still here!"
"Don't talk to mother like that, Roman."
"No,let him juliana,let him keep insulting me if that would make him happy."
I glanced at my younger sister,entering with puffy eyes.
"Juli,your eyes.." she walked up to me."I was scared,I thought I lost grand ma,I.. "Her body shook as I held her,tears flowed down even with her attempt to stop the tears.
"Its okay,whoever did this would pay.They will f*****g pay."
I patted her for awhile,then got up to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"I have unfinished business,juli." she nodded affirmatively and
pulled me into a hug.
I walked out of the hospital.I needed to see who hurt my grandma.
When I walked into the basement, it was quiet but I knew soon enough,they would be screams.I promise.
I walked towards the room,pushing the door open.I saw her.
I clenched my fist as I slowly stepped forward.
She had this aura of softness,this face that screams I can't hurt a fly.
It annoyed me even more. I hated people like that.
She stared at me,looking closely,she was scared.
I barked out, "You dare touch my grandma?"
She immediately had this look of innocence. Well played.great actress.
"I..swear, I didn't hurt her,sir..i- -" Her voice,soft,full of fear,she was already stuttering. Good.
"I did not ask you to speak!" My deep voice made her flinch.
"Who sent you? "
"I..I.. am innocent,I swear on my father's grave,I am -"
"Shut the f**k up,tell me what I want to hear!" I coldly spoke.Walking toward her.Her chained hands prevented her from moving too far
I slowly bent down to her eye level. She tensed.
"You hurt her."
" My grandma. Someone dear to me."
My patience were running thin. My jawa tightened,icould feel her heartbeat quicken,she was scared.
"Speak before I make you!"
Slowly,she looked up.Upclose,she looked familiar.
Where have I seen her before?
My lips curled into a smirk. Realizing who she was.
"Its you?"
"
