Ruslan Valetin
Stepan had informed his mother about proposing to Natalie. His mother hung up and within the hour she was at my home. Stepan tried to hide behind Elisabetta, using her as a shield to introduce herself formally. Stepan's mother, Irina, took to Elisabetta after she answered some questions. I think she got a little scared when Elisabetta pulled out her weapons when asked how she could protect herself.
Irina was at our wedding, but Elisabetta was not herself, trying to remember how to interact with people. When we told her she was McCarthy’s kin, Irina liked her more, knowing I would be protected. Yeah not me protecting her, Elisabetta protecting me.
Irina had met McCarthy in her time when she was younger, she respected and feared him. Irina will be staying waiting for Nata
