20 Chapter 18

Czar Neil Pattinson POV

I woke up due to the phone ringing. I checked my phone screen and saw my brother Kazimir calling. I immediately cut the call and messaged him saying, "I'm on my way and will be there in 15 min." He replied, "okay, baby bro."

Normally he doesn't call. If there is an emergency. He calls me. But today is the first time, he called me early morning. I don't know what's with him?

I shut down my phone and slide into my pocket.

I tried to move out of bed. But my babe is not letting me go because her arms are secured tightly on my neck. I slowly leaned towards her face and gave her tendered wet kisses trailing towards her jaw and neck.

She slightly moved and removed her arms from my neck.

She looks so cute and adorable when she is asleep.

Yesterday was the happiest day of my life. But today will be a happier day in my life.

Because today I'm going to take her on a date.

I will make this date the best night of our lives where she will never forget and love me more.

I already informed one of my hotel managers to do the arrangements for the date and my caretaker for arranging a bed on my private beach. And one of my friends runs a boutique in London downtown. I informed her to deliver a red dress with heels and accessories. She said, "I will deliver it before 1 pm to the requested home address."

It's still early. I will text her later.

Before leaving, I slowly walked to her desk. Took a sticky note and started writing

Dear Babe,

A beautiful red rose for my beautiful angel.

Good Morning, babe. By the time you reading the note. I will be gone.

I couldn't wake you up because you were looking damn cute while sleeping. Afternoon there will be a delivery for you. I wanna see you wearing the dress that I got for you. Dying to see you. Can't wait for the date, tonight.

Your lover,

Czar.

At the side of her study desk, I saw a red rose in a vase.

So, I took out the red rose and the sticky note and placed them on her bed next to her.

I headed to her side of the bed and kissed her forehead, she slightly groaned. and headed to the balcony.

I climbed on the tree and slowly got down and walked to my car where it is parked and hopped in and drove off to my home.

-------------------------

As soon as I entered, my brother Alek, Victor, Kazimir, and Ron were standing in the center of the living room glaring at me with rage.

"Where were you?"

"We were searching for you for the past one and a half hour."

"We were calling you, but your cell is not reachable."

"Then later, Kazimir got a text from you."

"When you go out please inform one of us."

"We were so worried about you."

I replied, will you guys relax and chill."

"Questions at a time please."

"Sorry, I was not here and didn't inform you guys."

"I promise I will inform you guys next time."

"Good," they said in unison.

"Well, where were you last night?" Victor asked.

"At Siena's place."

"Oh, did you meet her father and brothers?"

"No,"

"Why?"

"She told me It's not the right time."

"When can we meet her?" Kazimir asked.

"Soon," I replied.

"We always wanted a sister," Victor said.

"Yeah, can't wait to meet our future sister-in-law. Not S-I-S, I mean sister." Kazimir said.

"Well, you and she are like my son and daughter," Alek said.

"I know you treat me as your son more than a brother," I replied.

"Okay, let's talk about some business," I said.

"Ummmm," Kazimir replied.

"So, I got to know from one of our gang members that our shipments being delayed due to other gang involvement."

"Yeah, I heard too," Victor replied.

"Any ideas? Or Backup plan?" I asked.

"Actually, the leader of the gang wants to have a word," Ron said.

"Okay, arrange a meeting. We all will be present." I replied.

"The problem is they cannot come over here. We have to go there." Ron said with hesitation.

"Where?" I asked.

"Moscow, Russia." He replied.

When Ron said, "Moscow," my whole body freeze. The bad past, it's memories... It's doesn't leave, I guess. It always haunting forever.

I took a deep sigh.

"Okay, it's settled. Arrange the meeting and let me know." I replied.

Alek asked, "are you sure, brother?"

"Absolutely sure," I replied.

"Bro, we feel the same way how are you feeling. We will be fine. Just trust in your instinct." Kazimir said.

Victor asked while changing the topic, "Hey, anyone hungry?"

"Me," I replied.

"We too." Alek, Kazimir, and Ron replied in unison.

I know why Victor changed the topic.

Because he doesn't feel comfortable talking or hearing about the past.

Alek and Kazimir are strong from inside and out.

But as for me, Ron and Victor we are strong from the outside. But inside we are weak.

Whenever I hear the name Moscow. My stomach flutters with pain, rage in my eyes, hurt on my face and my body crumbles.

I snapped from my thoughts because of my phone ringing,

I saw the boutique's owner number on the screen,

I immediately answered the call, "Hello."

"Hello sir, the dress and accessories are ready and will be delivered to the address you have informed."

"Okay, thank you," I replied.

"Pleasure, and Have a good day, sir." The lady staff said.

"You too." and hung the call.

--------------------

It's time to pick up my babe,

I wore a customized white suit. With leather black shoes and sprayed Calvin Klein cologne. Took my phone and car keys from the nightstand and headed downstairs.

I was just one step away from the stairs where I saw my brothers and Ron heading towards the living room with their drinks.

I slowly tip-toed walking to the front door.

"Where are you going, baby bro?" Kazimir asked.

"Somewhere," I replied.

"Where somewhere?" He asked.

"Business," I replied.

"Ducked like a handsome dude," Victor said.

"I don't wanna give an explanation to you guys. Think whatever you want. I will be back at early morning." I replied.

Kazimir said, "I know where you are going?"

"You no need to tell us."

"Happy for you baby bro."

"Where is he going?" Victor and Alek asked.

"See ya in the morning guys," I replied.

While opening the door, Kazimir said, "He is going on a date with our sister-in-law."

"Oh!" Alek, Victor, and Ron said in unison.

"How do you know that he is going on a date?" Victor asked.

"It's a boy instinct, bro." He replied.

"Best of luck, bro." Victor and Ron yelled.

"Happy for you, baby bro," Alek yelled.

"Thank you all," I yelled back and closed the door behind me.

I hopped in my black Lamborghini and inserted the key in the ignition and drove off.

After a 35 minute drive, I arrived at my destination.

I unlocked my phone and texted my angel,

Me: I arrived, babe.

I hopped out and leaned against the car while checking my phone.

After a few minutes, I felt like she came. So, I immediately looked up and stared at her.

When I looked at her, I lost my breath. she was looking ravishingly hot in the dress I gifted her. I checked her from head to toe. She is a natural beauty.

My eyes were full of lust and love.

"Hi, she said.

"Hello," I replied.

I couldn't control it. So, I slowly snaked my arm around her waist and took her to the passenger door.

I opened the passenger door for her, she hopped in while whispering, "thank you."

I shut the door and moved around to the driver's door. I hopped in and turned towards her. She was blushing like a beetroot. I slowly leaned closer to her and cupped her face in my hands and kissed her passionately.

After 5 minutes of kissing. I was out of breath. She was also taking deep breaths.

I asked, "shall we go, babe?"

"Yes, knight." She replied.

Knight?

"What's with the new name?" I asked.

She replied, "I will tell you later. I'm starving."

"Okay, fine, promise me you will tell me later."

"Pinky promise." She replied.

I started the car and drove to the restaurant.

"Knight, where are we going?"

"It's a Surprise, babe."

I looked at her, she was silent and fidgeting her fingers.

She was deep in her thoughts.

The woman I dated or had one-night stands are back of my money, luxury...But with Siena, it's different.

She is the epitome of my mom.

When I laid my eyes on Siena for the first time. I knew she is like my mom. Her caring and loving nature.

Her confidence, her smile, her cute angry face, her blush...

There are no words to express my feelings for her.

She is an angel from heaven gifted by god only to me.

I should have met her early. But fate shows the path at the right time.

I snapped from my thoughts.

I called her, "babe,"

"Babe,"

She shook her head

"Huh?"

"We arrived."

I looked at her like are you alright look.

I was showing my full concern to her.

I'm always worried about her.

I hopped out and moved around to her door.

I opened it and forwarded my hand.

Without any hesitation, she took my hand and walked beside me towards the seven-star hotel owned by me.

The manager immediately saw us entering and said, "good evening, Mr. Pattinson, your reservation for two is ready. Please follow me."

I just nodded and followed behind him.

After a few minutes, we arrived at a private backyard.

Siena jaw dropped with eyes widen.

She definitely liked it.

I just want to confirm.

She immediately smiled filled with happiness in her eyes.

"Ahem," I heard someone clearing their throat to get attention from me.

The manager said, "sir, the waiter will arrive shortly."

I just nodded at him.

"Babe, how is my surprise?"

"Czar,"

She just hugged me tightly.

"Well, my babe loved my surprise," I whispered while chuckling.

"Yes, knight." She replied.

Like a gentleman, I pull out the chair for her.

She sat and moved the chair bit forward.

I went and sat on the opposite side of her.

We both were just staring at each other.

She was just smiling at me and I was staring at her.

After a few minutes, the waiter came and greeted us, "good evening."

And asked, "what can I get you, sir?"

"I want a bottle of fruit champagne."

"A plate of vegetable spring rolls."

"A plate of two lobster thermidor."

"A bowl of Singapore street noodles."

The waiter scribbled in his small notepad and said, "your order will be here shortly." He bowed and excused himself and walked away.

"So, how is your day today, babe?"

"It's fine. Just busied myself with reading and editing drafts."

"Mmmmm,"

"How about you?"

"Fantastic because I was taking my babe today for our official first date."

Hearing my words she blushed and covered her face with her hands.

"Awwww, you look cute when you blush."

"Don't ever hide your beautiful face."

"Yes," she replied.

"Czar, when did you plan all these?"

"A couple of hours ago. And by the way, I own this hotel."

"What?"

"Yes, I own this hotel and just gave my order to the manager. They did all the arrangements."

"Are there any other hotels you own?" She asked.

"Yes, three more with two casinos."

"Wow," she said.

"Are you from here or somewhere else?"

My base is here. But I'm brought up in Moscow, Russia. I'm half British-Russian."

"Oh!" She replied.

"What about you?"

"I'm from here. But my mom's side is from Russia."

"Do you visit Moscow?" She asked with little hesitation in her voice.

"Yes, but not regularly. I lost my parents there. Some b**t**d murdered my parents."

"I'm sorry, Czar."

"You don't have to apologize."

"Do you know who killed your parents?"

"No, but we are still searching."

"We?"

"I mean my brothers, me and my best friend, A.K.A. a brother from another mother, Ron."

"Ron also lost his parents with mine."

"Czar, you no need to tell me."

"I know you are hurt and uncomfortable in speaking about your parents."

"It's okay. I can understand." She replied.

I took her hand in mine and kissed the back of her palm.

"Babe, you make me fe"- I was about to tell her something but was cut off due to the waiter.

The waiter started serving us. But was cut off by me.

I said, "we will serve ourselves. You may go."

"Okay, sir." He replied and walked away.

We served ourselves and started eating.

--------------------------

"Czar, where are you taking me?"

"Somewhere you love to go all the time."

"Czar, will you tell me where are you taking me?"

"A surprise is a surprise, babe."

"Fine," she replied.

"I love to pamper and tease you."

"Are you going to kill me?"

"No babe. Why will I do that?"

"Without Siena, there is no Czar."

"Ugh! What's with the pickup lines?"

"Babe," I called her in a warning tone.

"Okay okay," She replied.

"Well, we arrived."

I took a red silk cloth and said to her, "to turn around."

She asked me, "why?"

"Babe, just obey as I'm saying."

"Okay," she replied while turning around.

I blindfolded her.

I told her, "wait in the car."

I opened my door and shut it behind me.

I moved around and opened the passenger door and took her hand in mine.

We walked ahead.

"Czar, still how much far are we?" She asked.

"Only two minutes,"

"Czar, you are saying that for the past 10 minutes."

"My feet are paining like hell." She said.

"Shall I carry you, babe?" I asked.

"No," she replied immediately.

"As you say," I said.

Suddenly I said, "stop."

"I'm taking off the blindfold. But still, you have to close your eyes."

"When I tell you to open your eyes. You open your eyes. Am I clear, babe?"

"Yes, sir." She replied.

I slowly took off the blindfold.

I moved further and told her to open her eyes.

She slowly opened her eyes.

"What the fudge?" She said.

"Czar, it's..."

"Beautiful." I completed the sentence.

She turned around and crushed her lips with mine.

The kiss was blown passionate.

"Thank you so much for doing all these for me."

"I'm so lucky to be in your life."

"Yea, I'm lucky to have you."

"You know babe, I couldn't stand if any guy snatches you away from me. You are always MINE forever." I replied while lingering kisses on her face.

I carried her bridal style and placed her carefully on the bed.

"How do you know I love beaches?"

"I have my sources, babe," I said.

"Is this your own private beach?"

"Yes, babe," I said.

I and her relaxed on the bed cuddled in each other arms while watching the waves.

"Babe, can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah,"

"Why do you love beaches so much?"

"Well, I love beaches because it's my escape place."

"I spent most of my summer at the beach with Lisa, Jake, Ryan, and my brothers."

"You know Czar, one day I was making a sandcastle with Lisa. but my two idiot brothers Christian and Hardin and my best friend Jake destroyed it. I cried for the whole day. But later, they apologized and helped me with making the sandcastle."

"We had high school beach parties, a family picnic, and volleyball matches..."

"Summer was the best season of my life."

"What about you?" She asked.

"Well, mine is different from yours. Always behind criminals, killing them and taking care of business."

"Yeah, I know. Mafia job is tough."

"Yeah, I agree."

"Yea, now you have me." She replied.

She climbed out of the bed and said, "give me your hand."

"Why?"

"Just do as I say."

I placed my hand on her.

We walked to the shoreline.

I folded my pants above my knees and headed to the waves.

"Babe, it's so calm over here. I love being here with you. We both will come here at weekends." I replied while entwining our fingers to each other.

"As you say, my lord."

"Where is your beach house?"

"It's far away to the left. But it's under renovation."

"Oh!"

"I will take you over there next time when we visit."

"Okay," she replied.

"So, let's get back to the bed, my babe?"

"Yes, my knight." She replied.

"Will you tell now, what did you name me knight?" I asked.

"Not now, when the right time comes, I will tell you. It's a promise." She replied.

"Oh okay," I said.

We both relaxed on the bed.

Suddenly, I was craving for her. The moment she fell on the bed. My mind blew away. I felt like my world

around me was magical and splendid.

She was finally next to me for the second time on my bed.

I always want her next to me, in my arms, on my bed.

I hovered over her and started kissing her passionately. She kissed me back with the same intensity. I slowly trailed kisses to her jaw and then to her neck where I started sucking her sensitive spot.

I wanna hear my name and moan for me.

So, I trailed further to her chest.

I said, "your strawberry scent is so addictive and craving."

She again moved her lips to mine.

"Czar, Please." She said.

"What please, babe? Be more specific?"

"Stop," she said.

I was frustrated. She told me to fucking stop what I was doing to her.

I controlled myself and immediately stopped.

"I'm not ready yet."

"I promised myself that after marriage." She said.

"Shhhh... I understand. You no need to feel bad. After I earn your trust. We can consummate. I promise you I will not go further than this. Just kissing and cuddling."

After a moment, She just hugged me tightly crying in happiness.

"Yea, babe why are you crying?"

"I don't like seeing you cry."

"It hurts me to see you like this."

"Shhh...It's happy tears, my knight," she replied while putting her finger on my lips.

I pulled her closer to my chest. And kissed her forehead.

"Babe, you are tired. Have some sleep. We will leave around 4 am."

She slowly drifted to sleep while hugging me tightly.

After a few seconds, I also drifted to sleep while returning the hug to her in my arms.
