Valencia

I never got to slap him. He held my hand mid-air with his eyes staring at me. He had got to be joking about all this. None of this couldn't be true, and it was the worst thing I had heard.

Demyan was already engaged, and yet he had proposed to me.

This was fucking insane lie.

I was here pregnant, and this man hinted that Demyan was behind all this.

"Tsk Tsk, Valencia, just because I allowed this once doesn't mean I will allow it again." He warned as he let go of my hand. "Another try, and I might punch you in the stomach. I won't think for a second not to do it because I would do it for sure." He smiled at me, showing teeth, making me realize he was more than dangerous. Pulling me towards him by my neck, he held me tight.

"I think I realize what he meant when he said that he liked the fire in you. That anger is smoking hot but could get you in a lot of trouble so try to reel it until you want me to touch you where you wouldn't like." He whispered in my ear, making me want to puke.

I pushed him away from him and heard him laughing.

"You are sick! There is something very wrong with you." I couldn't hold back any longer. I felt dizzy from what he was saying. Fear. I felt it deep inside of me. The real Zach felt to be a very dangerous man.

"Well, there is something wrong with me, but that would mean there is something a lot wrong with Demyan then. The shit he wants to do to you, yeah, not at all great." He said coming closer to me.

"Why don't you take a seat as I explain to you everything as much as I could." He made me sit by pulling on my arm.

"Tell me you are lying. This is some kind of joke, right? Natalia put you to it?" I asked with my nerves on the edges. He was supposed to be joking about all this right.

"Oh, my dear Valencia, you don't seem smart to me. Don't you really get what I said to you? The man you so desperately love and the person you seem to consider to be your best friend and savior, I might add, are nothing but lies and fraud." He faced me, taking his hands in mine.

"All they both want is to hurt and see your tears and desperation. Sadly, he isn't a good man like me." He added with a psychopath smile. "He is really twisted up here in the brain." He held a finger to my head.

"Believe me when I say that I'm not lying. If I was a liar, then I would have never fucked Natalia in the first place, but she is the woman I have to marry, and my sister, Irina, has to marry Demyan. Not a fan of arranged marriages, but when there is so much money invested, it is better to keep it invested in the extended family." I felt a buzz inside of me when I heard the words extended family. Something snapped inside of me. The fear was leaving and more than that, I felt the anger overpowering every pore of my body.

Looking at him, I just stared at him for an entire minute, concentrating on him and what he had said. I felt the feelings of fear drain out of me and felt something stronger.

"What the fuck do you mean by extended family? Don't tell me you are fucking involved in incest." I shrieked out of disgust. Getting up from my seat, I moved away from him. A set of by lookers just stared at us. I was able to get my voice back. The disgust I felt was overwhelming, but more than that, I realized that this was fucking Zach.

The same Zach who I had caught in bed with Natalia many times, but more than that I had caught him doing things he shouldn't.

He could be hell as dangerous and he really did have an upper hand, but I was of no use to him at all. I was not going to be on his list at all because yeah if he was right then this whining psychopathic bitch of a man was going to help me in doing whatever the fuck I decided. Yeah, I wasn't going to be fucking bullied. There was a hell of a lot of pent of anger inside of me that wanted to burst out, which started right out from when Claire had picked that gun upon me.

"No. Can you fucking stop yelling?" he gritted out as he stood up, coming closer to me. I stood in my place. He would punch in the stomach he said yeah well, I could scream and call fucking abuse. I don't think the police would help him, neither would Demyan.

My bet was on the fact that it was something Demyan wouldn't forgive even if he was a lying asshole because he wanted this baby in this grand scheme of his. And this whining bitch of a man wouldn't have been laying out his secrets for me if he didn't fear the man himself.

"You really think you can scare me off?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. His eyes took me in from up to down, as if realizing that the shitty warning he gave really didn't work for me.

"Well, let's make it clear if you want my help in this fucking grand scheme of yours, whatever the hell it is, there is going to be no threatening because I won't mind moving my ass to Demyan and snitching on you. Let's make that the ground rule." I snapped at him, finding my ground.

"Someone has got their spine back." He snarled, but I fucking didn't care.

"Take that tone with me again and I would be the one yelling abuse, Zach. You might have police in your pockets in New York, but this is my playground. People really don't like abusive assholes here much, and they don't mind taking the law in their hand whenever they feel like." I explained to him in clear-cut words.

"Now let's be calm and try to sort it out like the adults we are." I kept my voice low but still on the edge to make him understand I was serious. "Should I believe you are an adult enough?" He just stared at me.

"You are a bigger bitch than Natalia," he smirked. "We will get along just fine."

"Let's go to a restaurant because I'm hungry." I didn't wait for his reply as I walked towards the parking to get in my car. Zach didn't follow me, he jogged until that we were beside each other. In silence, we got in my car and I drove again, but this time I didn't want him to drive.

Yeah, no way I was letting a psychopath drive me at all. We drove in silence until I found a good enough restaurant for me to eat in. Settling on a one I ordered whatever I wanted to. Zach didn't say a word or ordered anything. Like hell, I cared. It was only when the server was gone he opened his mouth.

'I thought you would be broken." Those were his words after so much silence.

"You judged wrong." I sipped my glass of water as I looked at him. "Do you have proof about what you are implying?"

"It depends upon what you believe," he looked at me with a new amazed look. I just nodded to his words.

"So let's see, you said Demyan had made me pregnant on purpose, first thing. Then you added the fact that he doesn't have any good intentions for me. After that, you had told me Demyan is getting married to your sister and you are getting married to Natalia. Tell me if I skipped on anything you told me yet." I summed up everything he had told me of.

"No, that's all I have told you." He replied as he took out the ring with the chain from his pocket on the table. I didn't pick it up how so ever because I had no desire to touch it right now. It almost felt tainted.

"Now the question is why is Demyan doing all this and what do you want exactly in the end." After staring at me for quite a time, which was sadly interrupted by the server bringing me food and all he got was coffee.

"Do you know who was Ivan Petruska?" He asked, and I just stared at him with a stinky eye, making him realize I was in from a guessing game.

"Get on with its Zach because that GPS chip in there would let Demyan know where we are. The more time you take, the more suspicious he might get." I made the last part up, but somewhere deep down inside it was true.

"He was Demyan and Natalia's father. He ran off from Russia with a young pregnant woman, Annika, and a child settled down here in the USA." He said nothing at all after completing those words. Was I supposed to fill in the blanks?

"Okay, now rip the fucking band-aid off and tell me what is it." I snapped at him as I sipped my coffee.

"He was also the man your mother had her longest affair with and who also might be your father." I spurted out the coffee in my mouth at him altogether out of the shock I felt. I was startled by what he said.

"You say that I have been in love with my half brother?" I laced the words with nothing but pure disgust.
