Ryan's POV

"So what did you tell her?" I asked David as the bartender behind the bar refilled our glasses.

"What? Whom?" David asked back, looking genuinely confused.

"My sister...Scar" I replied taking a sip of my drink.

"I mean how did you convince her to come back and join us. I was quite sure she won't be coming back" I added.

"Oh that...yeah..." He paused shaking the glass in his hand.

"Nothing. Just told her that nobody intended to hurt her and her anger was quite unreasonable" He continued.

"Oh is it" I mumbled.

"Strange...as I know my sister, she's quite stubborn and does only what she believes is right" I added.

"Yeah I have gathered that much...she doesn't likes to be told what to do" He replied as I just nodded in agreement.

"Why are you asking such questions suddenly?" He asked.

"Nothing. Just curiousity" I replied and of course I'm not lying, I was just genuinely curious.

Actually the whole situation seemed a bit strange to me...I mean all of us were laughing but the way Scarlett just kept looking or rather should I say glaring at David alone, that seemed a bit weird to me, it was almost as if all of us laughing didn't affect her much but David making some harmless fun of her surely got her upset.

Which is why I decided to confront David about it...but now that I think of it...I guess I was just overthinking.

I know my best friend, who is also more like a brother to me, won't hide anything from me, especially where my family...where my sister is concerned.

"She seems happy tonight" David commented with a small smile as I followed his gaze to the dance floor and realized he was talking about Vienna.

Yeah. After we came downstairs Samantha and Vienna had a few more drinks and then all the girls decided to hit the dance floor while the three of us are sitting here, by the bar having drinks.

Well to be more specific, just David and Landon are drinking not I because I can tell that my sweet little fiance has already crossed her limits of consuming alcohol and I need to be sober enough to handle a drunk Vienna.

Though I did have a few drinks but they are not enough to make me drunk or lose control over my brain...so I'm still sober.

And on the other hand David and Landon are not pushing their limits too as none of us have brought our drivers along, so we need to drive back on our own.

"Hey man! Back to earth" David said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What were you thinking?" He asked.

"Nothing..." I paused shaking my head.

"And yeah she does seems happy" I continued as I stared at Vienna, who was lost in her own world tonight, swaying her hips to the beats of this overly loud blasting music, in the most sexiest possible, along with my sisters.

I couldn't help but keep gazing at her...she's looking so sexy tonight and it's not that her outfit is sexy...rather her outfit is quite simple tonight, a black high waist jeans and a shimmery backless top...but it's just me...I find her sexy all the damn time...in everything and in anything.

Her birthday suit is one of my favourites though, the thought made my lips curve up into a naughty smirk.

I know I may sound like a pervert and in fact I don't just sound like a pervert...I'm a pervert but just when it comes to her...just for her...I have eyes only for her.

"It feels like I have finally got my highschool Vienna back...the carefree and the happy Vienna back" I said not taking my eyes off her even for a second.

"I never got the chance to congratulate you properly..." David paused gaining my attention.

"Congratulations man! I'm really happy for you...and of course for Vienna too" He continued as I just smiled giving him a 'bro hug'.

"It feels like it has been such a long journey...when I got her back..." I said only to be interrupted by him.

"You mean when you literally shipped her from Canada to Russia" He said jokingly.

"Yeah I mean exactly that" I replied with a small smile.

"Dude! You really have got some balls to do that..." Landon said joining our conversation.

"I mean I can't even imagine doing that to Sam...she would skin me alive" He continued.

"Well even I would skin you alive for pulling that kinda stunt" I replied firmly as Landon just raised his hands in surrender while chuckling.

"But wait...are you under the impression that Vienna didn't give him a hard time, when he literally kidnapped her and had her shipped to him..." David paused on purpose.

"Well if you think so...then dude you are so wrong. Vienna Green gave him a real hard time...tried to escape a few times...pissed him off a dozen times...pushed his limits...but it's a good thing that she has him whipped and wrapped around her pinky little finger or else if it was someone else, this innocent and calm looking guy sitting here, would have killed him or her in a heartbeat" He continued.

"You know I was kinda nervous when I proposed her...fearing what her answer might be...because after everything that we have been through...after everything that we have lost...if her answer was anything but yes, I know I would have been heart broken once again" I said a moment later.

"But fortunately she said yes and right now that's what really matters" David replied.

"You lucky motherfucker!" He added patting my back as I just smiled at him.

"Excuse me please. I need to attend this call" Landon said excusing himself and walking out of the busy, crowded club.

"Well...after all this talk about my girl, I'm beginning to miss her. I think I'm gonna take up that dance offer of hers" I said getting off the bar stool I was sitting on.

"I'll be back" I added and just as I was about to leave David stopped me, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"What?" I asked a bit confused.

"Listen man, I know this is not a great time to talk but I'm starting to feel like I have been keeping this from you for too long and now it's probably time that you should know about it" He replied as I just frowned at his confusing choice of words.

"What is it? David" I asked.

"Maybe we should step aside from the crowd and talk" He replied as I sighed yet again before glancing over at the girls who were dancing their hearts out without a care in the world.

"Can it wait until we return home? I don't think it's a great idea to leave them alone here" I said as he just nodded in agreement.

"But rather if you don't wanna wait, we can talk here itself. I can hear you pretty well" I added taking my seat back.

"Well...the guys who tried to abduct Vienna a day before she returned to you..." He paused.

"Yeah. I told you to get them anyhow. Got any leads?" I asked ordering another drink.

"Yes. In fact we found one of them" He replied.

"You did? Where is he? Did you get anything out of him?" I asked firmly.

"Nothing...just that they were four...I mean the guys who tried to abduct Vienna" He replied.

"And yeah we have held him in the basement of the mansion" He added as I just nodded.

"Well then I guess it's a good thing we moved out of the mansion...I don't want Vienna to witness us torturing someone and I believe now there's going to be a lot of that" I said taking a sip of my drink.

"I don't think torturing will do any good, we have been doing that since a while now" He replied.

"A while? What's that supposed to mean?" I asked keeping my drink aside, though I did have a slight idea as to what he meant.

"We found this guy the very next day you asked us to find them and you were already off to Greece by then..." He paused.

"And well...you were so miserable all the while that Vienna was gone and back then you guys just got back together so I didn't want to ruin your getaway...so that is why I didn't tell you anything until now" He continued as I rubbed my fingers against my forehead.

"David! Are you out of your fucking mind? You should have told me right away" I snapped at him.

"Do you even realize the seriousness of this matter? Somebody tried to abduct Vienna and not just that, somebody was also covering up her tracks so that I don't find her. Do you realize what the current situation would have been if they did manage to kidnap her" I added.

"I get it, Ryan. You are completely correct in your place but you guys were back together after such a long time...after so many struggles...I just didn't want to ruin your time together that's all" He replied.

"No. You wouldn't have ruined anything...I know very well how to balance my work and my love life" I said running a hand through my hair.

"Alright then, suppose I told you about this guy we found...let me tell you what your next move would have been, you wouldn't have wasted another minute and would have returned back here instantly" He replied making a fair point.

"Of course I would have" I said as if stating the obvious.

"Yeah and then spend your days and nights torturing that guy until you got something out of him" He replied shaking his head.

"Well of course what else am I supposed to do with that guy" I said.

"Yeah and that's exactly what I didn't want you to do..." He paused.

"After everything that you guys have been through...especially that Vienna has been through, I knew that she needed you more than anybody else in this world which is why I didn't tell you anything and let you two spend some quality time together" He continued as I just closed my eyes for a second, shook my head in disappointment and chose to remain silent, too mad to even argue any further.

"I know about the miscarriage" He added a moment later as I sighed realising why he said 'especially that Vienna has been through'.

"How do you know?" I asked as I clearly recall that neither Vienna and nor have I talked about this with anybody yet.

"When you told me about the unsuccessful kidnapping and asked me to find those guys, I decided that finding out what Vienna has been up to in the past few months would be a good start and in the process I found out that she was admitted in a hospital for a day or so..." He paused.

"So I visited the hospital and that's when I found the reason why she was admitted" He continued.

"I'm really sorry for your loss, man. I can't even imagine what it must feel like dealing with so much on our own...with no one by our side...but Vienna managed all of it on her own" He added as I finally cooled down, understanding his point now.

"Yeah. She's one hell of a strong woman and I adore her for that" I replied with a sigh.

"Look man, I'm sorry for snapping at you. You had good intentions and well...I get your point, you did the right thing by not telling me..." I paused.

"I know I would have just returned back to handle things and that's not exactly what Vienna needed...and I guess neither did I" I continued.

"Anyways, I'm seeing this guy first thing tomorrow morning" I added a moment later before getting off the bar stool once again with the intention of going over to Vienna.

"Hold on! There's one more thing you should know" David said stopping me once again as I turned around and nodded at him to go ahead.

"You remember the short-circuit which resulted into a fire in your room and study back at the mansion while you were in Canada, bringing Vienna back?" He asked.

"Yeah. Certainly" I replied.

"Well our guys have managed to link this guy with that incident" He said as I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his cryptic words.

Why won't this guy come straight to the point already?

"How? David" I asked probably on the last straw of my patience...or well, maybe second last.

"This guy is the same guy responsible for that fire" He replied as I exhaled a sharp breath.

"You gotta be kidding me" I mumbled to myself.

"The fun is over it seems..." I paused glancing over at Vienna for probably the hundredth time this evening, like some one sided crazy lover.

But she seems so happy tonight...so free, I don't want her to know about any of this shit. 

"And if Vienna finds out about any of this, I'll kill you because I'll know that you were her source" I said firmly.

"She's been through a lot, I don't want her stressing over some stupid mafia shit" I added.

"We are leaving. Inform Landon too" I said gaining a nod from David before finally heading over to the dance floor to get Vienna.

"And yeah change of plans, I want to see that guy tonight itself" I added glancing back at him.
