Welcome To My Hell - Chapter 211

Ivanov came back home after all the drama with Jessica. He couldn’t shake off Jessica’s threat.

‘What could she possibly have on me?’ thought Ivanov.

He called the private detective working for him and told him to keep an eye on Jessica.

He entered his villa and smiles seeing Otis repeating what violet was telling him to repeat.

They were reading a story.

“Otis” calls Ivanov and Otis cheers for him and runs towards Ivanov.

“Dada, ois ish eding a toly (Otis is reading a story)” says Otis.

“I heard. Will you read me one too?” Says Ivanov and Otis screams “yesh” and runs to violet to take the book.

“Otis wait. Let your dad freshen up first and after dinner you can read to him” says violet.

“Okay” says Otis and sits back down in violets lap.

Violet looks at Ivanov and he just looks at her blankly and looks away and walks away.Ivanov comes down from his room and sees Otis laughing and running behind violet while she runs from the kitchen to the dinning room.

She places the dish on the table and picks Otis and makes him sit on his high chair.

She looks beside her and sees Ivanov come inside the dining rooms and smiles but he doesn’t smile.

Violet stops smiling and creases her eyebrows.”Did you have dinner?” Asks Ivanov to violet.

“Not yet” says violet and starts feeding Otis.

Otis insists to eat by himself and violet says “aren’t you my big boy” and hands him his spoon.

“Join us” says Ivanov and takes his seat at the head of the table.

“No, that’s okay. I am suppose to eat at the quarters according to the head maid” says violet.

“The food here is more than enough for two. And I wasn’t asking. I am telling. So start eating” says Ivanov and starts serving for himself.

“Say please” says violet.

“Excuse me?” Asks Ivanov.

“Say please. You are asking me to join you for dinner. So, say please join me for dinner” says violet smiling.Ivanov looks at violet with anger and says “leave”

“What?” Asks violet.

“I said leave” says Ivanov with grinding teeth and violet gets a little scared.

She sees Otis looking at her so hiding her ready to spill out tears she smiles a fake smile and says “finish your dinner and I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?” And kisses his forehead and looks at Ivanov and runs away.Otis looks at Ivanov and says “mama”

“NO. Dada. Me” says Ivanov and gets back to dinner.

“Mama. Ois ont mama (Otis wants mama)” cried Otis.

Ivanov gets angry and screams “shut up Otis. Stop wanting and listening to her. I am your father. Listen to me and stop crying””How will he understand that?” Asks violet standing at the doorway.

“I told you to leave” says Ivanov looking at her.

“Well f.u.c.k you” says violet crying and runs to Otis and picks him up and hugs him.

She walks away trying to cool down Otis.

“You are just a nanny. Behave like one” says Ivanov.

“And you go remove your frustration of work somewhere else. He doesn’t have anyone else to run to when you show your anger to him. In the end of the day it’s all money nothing else. Why don’t you realise dad that no amount of money can bring back my mother” screams violet.

There is a silence in the room for few seconds and violet realises what she said.

“I mean, bring back his mother” says violet and leaves the room with Otis.Otis cools down and later violet feeds him his dinner and changes him into his PJ’s.

She had him in her arms and was trying to put him to sleep.

“Dada ish bat. He make mama ci (dada is bad. He made mama cry)” says Otis.

Ivanov was standing outside Otis’s room wanting to apologise to him for his behaviour and hears what Otis said.

“No Otis. Dada is the best dada in the world. He really loves you. And I was crying cause I miss my own dada” says violet.

Otis looks at violet and asks “mama dada?”

“Yes, mama’s dada. He is a wonderful man like your dada. He loves me but like your dada he just needed someone to help him raise me” says violet and Ivanov makes a sad face and walks away from there.Ivanov was looking outside the large window which showed the beautiful garden of the mansion and was deep in thought.

“I would like to join you for dinner” says violet.

“I am not hungry” says Ivanov not turning to look at her.

“Well, I am hungry. Mind if I eat? The quarters kitchen must be closed now. I won’t get any food there” says violet.

“Go ahead” says Ivanov.Violet goes close to Ivanov and peek at him from beside him and says “join me please. I don’t want to eat alone. Please”

Ivanov looks at violet and nods.

They both take the food into the kitchen and warm it up and sit down at the barstool in the kitchen placing all the food infront of them on the centre table and start to eat.

They didn’t speak a word through out the dinner and after dinner Ivanov helps cleaning the table.”Good night” says violet and was about to leave when Ivanov says “I am sorry”

“It’s okay. Work can get you sometimes” says violet.

“I am sorry your father…” Starts Ivanov but violet cuts him of and says “don’t. You don’t know anything”

“Then tell me. I am in a mood to listen to a story. Your story. I’ll tell you want ever you want to know” says Ivanov.

Violet smiles and nods.They both take a seat on the coach seated close to eachother.

“My mom died after struggling with cancer when I was 4 yrs old. I remember her very vaguely but my brother remembers her very well. He is elder to me and was 10 yrs when she died. My dad sent him away for boarding and hired a nanny to take care of me. I had quiet a few nannies as I didn’t like them and would not co-operate with them. I would cry and cry for my mom to come back but she never did” said violet with tears in her eyes.

Ivanov didn’t say anything and only listened.

“My dad would get frustrated as he had to take care of me leaving his work and business was getting effected. I was to young to understand all that. I liked that dad would spend time with me when there were no nannies. Day care was no fun too. So I would create problems there too so that dad would come and take me with him and we would spend time together. Dad was loosing it and stated showing his anger on me. He would scream at me and leave me alone in my room crying. I would spend all that time banging at the door for him to open the door but he would drink his night away. He wouldn’t leave the lights on of my room too. A 4yrs old girl alone in the dark crying for someone to come hold her was all I prayed. I prayed for my mother to come and hold me. But she never came. She couldn’t. No amount of money could save her or bring her back” cried violet.

Ivanov moved closer and held her close to him.She cooled down a little and nods that she is okay.

She then smiles with her tears and says “then mama came into my life. She had the same smile my mother had. Her touch felt warm and when I placed my head on her chest, her heartbeat felt like a lullaby and I would love to fall asleep on her chest. She not only was my nanny but she was the glue which bought our family together once again. My brother still gets irritated by her because of her naughty behaviour and loud voice and childish tactics. But I love everything about her. She loves me more than anyone could ever love me. She held that 4yr old close to herself and made all the bad monsters of the dark go away”Ivanov smiles and says “she is one incredible women”

“We all are. Mama says a good women can make a house worth living. Women are the only ones who can proudly say they can be mothers and no matter if the men rule the world, they still need their mothers, wives and daughters. You big bad mean men will always want us. Even you Mr boss. You want a women in your life for your son and for you.” Says violet still in Ivanov’s arms.

Ivanov looks at violet and moves his fingers on her cheeks and caresses them.

He leans down and places a very soft kiss on her lips and violet looks at him shocked.

“Want to be that women in my life?” Asks Ivanov and violet just sits in her place still in shock.
