Shattering Hearts

(S3): Misunderstanding

"You have made your choice. I hope you'll regret it."

"No dad, I won't regret the decision I've made."

Nicola then exited Vladimir's room. Before going to the office, Vladimir took the time to go to the hospital to visit Veronica. He was very pleased with Vladimir's arrival, and his father left them both there.

"How are you doing, Veronica?’’

"It's better."

"Why are you doing this stupid deed?’’

"That's because I don't want to lose you."

"You shouldn't have to do that stupid deed just because I and I will still cancel our wedding plans."

Veronica started crying.

"Do you love that girl so much?’’

"Yes, I love her so much and why did you give her some money to stay away from me?"

Veronica was silent and could not say anything. His face turned pale again.

"I did it, because I was afraid of losing you. When I realized you were in love with that girl."

Vladimir stared coldly at Veronica.

"I loved that girl before I met you. Sorry Veronica looks like our relationship ended here."

Vladimir left Veronica still weeping in the room and said goodbye to Mr. Yermolov

Lizzie was up and eating lunch, and then she went back to sleep.

It was late afternoon, Lizzie had not contacted him at all. Vladimir who was still in his office was very worried about his condition. He tried to contact Lizzie, but there was no answer, then again called no answer and the third time he called a female voice who answered him in a sluggish and lackluster tone.

"Vladimir, is that you?’’

"Yes, it's me."

"Your voice is different, I barely recognize you. How are you doing now? Is it better?’’

"I still have a fever, I had a fever this afternoon, but now I have a fever again, but I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Even though Lizzie said that, Vladimir was still worried and decided to meet Lizzie.

"alright. I-i understand. See you!’’

Vladimir exited his office and headed straight for the parking lot. Lizzie's room was pitch black, Vladimit turned on all the lights. There Lizzie was sleeping soundly, then Vladimir approached her and touched Lizzie.’’'s foreheadTurns out it's still feverish,’’ Vladimir said in his heart.

Vladimir went to the kitchen and made porridge for Lizzie, although the servants forbade him to cook. An hour later, Lizzie woke up and was surprised to see Vladimir who was already at her bedside with a smile on his face.

"You're up?’’

Lizzie just nodded her head.

"I've made you some porridge. Now you have to eat.’’ Vladimir touched Lizzie's forehead again.

‘’Your temperature hasn't come down. You have to rest a lot, eat a lot, and take medicine."

Lizzie was about to grab a bowl of porridge from Vladimir's hand, but Vladimir kept it out of Lizzie's reach.

"I'm going to bribe you, so now open your mouth."

Vladimir fed Lizzie until the porridge in the bowl ran out.

"Now take your medicine and go back to sleep."

Lizzie took her medicine and lay down again in bed.

"I'm glad you came. Thank you," Lizzie said with a smile. Not long after, Lizzie goes back to sleep and Vladimir notices Lizzie sleeping. He began to caress Lizzie's hair, then he kissed her cheeks, her lips, her neck, her nose, and her forehead. All that night Vladimit showered Lizzie's face with a kiss.

"Lizzie, you are mine and get well soon!’’

Vladimir grabbed Lizzie's hand and kissed her. Not long after, Aleandra came and was surprised to see Vladimir still in Lizzie's room.

"Good night Vladimir!"

"Good night. I'm going home first. Lizzie's been eating and taking medicine, now she's resting."

"Thank you for taking care of Lizzie."

"I'll go home first."

"Be careful on the road!"

Vladimir left Lizzie's room and closed the door quietly. Aleandra kissed her daughter's forehead.

"Cheal fast, baby!"

Aleandra left Lizzie's room.

🍀🍀🍀

Vladimir was on the balcony of his room enjoying the fresh air while breathing the night air. Masumi look up.’

"Lizzie, I've missed you again. How is this when we just met, but now I have missed you so much,’’ Vladimir said in his heart.

Vladimir closed his eyes and imagined Lizzie's face. Her beautiful and shiny hair, her eyes, her nose, and her red lips were so seductive. He smiled, remembering they were kissing, Lizzie's nose was bleeding a lot and her kiss was mixed with blood. Vladimir also still vividly remembered his scent and he inhaled it. He entered his room, closed the door, and went to his bed.

Three days later, Lizzie recovered and went back to college. Meanwhile Vladimir was in the parking lot driving his car.

"How's Lizzie doing now?’’

"He's fine now."

Zoya smiles seeing her boss is back up.

After returning home from college, Lizzie decides to go see Vladimir in his office.

"Sorry Mr. Kalashnikov, Lizzie came and wanted to see you."

"Eh really? Tell him to come in?’’

"Good."

Vladimir got up from his chair, then stood in front of his desk. Seeing the arrival of Lizzie, Vladimir smiled. Lizzie immediately ran towards him and hugged him. Vladimir was surprised to suddenly get a hug from Lizzie and Vladimir hugged her back tightly.

"What's Lizzie doing? Are you sick again?’’

"There's nothing. I just miss you."

Vladimir smiled.

"I miss you too. I miss you."

Lizzie then buried her face again into Vladimir's chest.

"Later tonight we had dinner together. How?’’

"All right."

"You will wait for me in a moment, I must finish my work first."

Lizzie sat in the chair waiting for Vladimir to finish his work while enjoying a glass of strawberry sundae ice. After Vladimir's work was done, they went to dinner together and as usual Vladimir took Lizzie to a fancy restaurant.

Vladimir told Lizzie to order a meal of his own. Lizzie ordered a lot of food and ate it voraciously. Vladimir could only smile seeing Lizzie eating voraciously.

🍀🍀🍀

The next day, Lizzie and Vladimir make a pact to meet in the city park. The place Lizzie always visited. He was sitting on a park bench and watching the people passing by. Someone closed his eyes. Lizze was startled and tried to let go of the two hands that covered her eyes.

"Vladimir, release your hands!’’lizzie said while trying to let go of the two hands that covered her eyes.

Vladimir let go of both hands, then sat down next to Lizzie with a cheerful face. Lizzie smile.

"Actually what you want to give me. Last night I tried to think about what item you want to give?’’ask Lizzie

"Have you guessed it?’’

"No. I can't guess."

Vladimir handed Lizzie a bouquet of rainbow roses.

"You likey?"

"Of course I like it a lot. Thank you." Thank you."

Lizzie kissed the flower and inhaled it, then they took a short walk hand in hand and did not feel the time pass quickly. It's already night time.

" I'll take you home."

Vladimir takes Lizzie back to the Romanov mansion. They got to the front, but Lizzie just kept quiet and didn't want to get out of the car. He grabbed Vladimir's hand and grabbed him with both hands.

"Vladimir, thank you for seeing me today. I'm so happy."

Lizzie kissed Vladimir's lips.

"Good night!"

"Night!"

On the way to his house, Vladimir smiled to himself and laughed. Finally the woman he secretly loved can reciprocate his feelings now. It used to be that Vladimir did not dare to think of being loved by the girl and was now able to enjoy the love given to her.

🍀🍀🍀

The next morning Vladimir called Lizzie.

"Lizzie, is there time tomorrow? I'd like to take you to Villaki in Belgorod.

Lizzie immediately stood up from the sofa, glad that Vladimir would take her to his private Villa.

"really?Alright. I have plenty of time tomorrow."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

"Well, I'll wait for you here."

"See you tomorrow!’’

"Bye bye!”

Lizzie was very happy, so she quickly went to her room, prepared some clothes to bring there and clothes to wear to go there. Lizzie rummaged through the closet to find suitable clothes to wear later.

Lizzie can't wait for tomorrow, then she imagines her trip to the villa with Vladimir. His cheeks turned red, when he realized he was alone with Vladimir there.

🍀🍀🍀

The next morning, Lizzie wakes up before sunrise. He could not sleep well thinking of his journey with Vladimir to the villa. She changed clothes and dressed as beautifully as possible. Lizzie wants to look beautiful in front of Vladimir. He stared at the clock many times. Vladimir's arrival is still 3 hours away.

"Why time is so slow,’’ complained Lizzie

Aleandra who had woken up was surprised to see Lizzie who had dressed up neatly.

"Where are you going? Morning is good."

"I want to go with Vladimir to his villa in Belgorod."

"really? You have to be careful there.

"I knew. We'll be careful."

They ate their morning with silence that sounded only the clang of spoons and plates. After he finished eating his father went to the office, his mother went to the kitchen, while his grandfather returned to the room. Now only Lizzie is alone in the living room awaiting Vladimir's arrival.

"Why did Vladimir come so long ago?’’

Suddenly the bell sounded.

"Maybe it's Vladimir."

Lizzie quickly opened the door. He was surprised to see who was coming.

"Dave."

"Lizzie, today you look beautiful. Are you going?’’

"Yes, I'm leaving today."

"Alone or together with your lover?’’

"I'll go with Vladimir."

Lizzie lets Dave sit down.

"I came here to say goodbye to you, because I'm going back to America."

"really? When are you going?’’

"I'll be gone tomorrow. Lizzie, do you want to still be friends with me?’’

"of course. We're friends forever. May you have your happiness there."

"You too. May you live happily with your beloved."

They hugged. Vladimir had arrived and saw the door open a little, and then Vladimir entered. He was shocked to see Lizzie and Dave hugging. Lizzie was surprised that Vladimir was here.

"Vladimir."

Lizzie quickly releases her hug from Dave. Vladimir's face instantly turned cold and full of anger. He quickly leaves the mansion and Lizzie tries to catch up to him, but Vladimir's steps are very fast and Lizzie can't catch up with him to explain it so that Lizzie doesn't misunderstand what she saw earlier. Vladimir got in his car and left.

"VLADIMIIIIRR TUNGUUUUU!"

Lizzie ran to chase Vladimir and Vladimir as if he did not care to continue to gas his car. Lizzie couldn't catch up to him anymore and then fell down. He was crying and his face was soaked with tears.

Lizzie was crying. Dave chases after Lizzie and finds her crying. Dave realizes that Lizzie loves her boyfriend. In his heart Dabe felt guilty for making their relationship broken and had caused a misunderstanding. Dave approached Lizzie and brought her in. There Lizzie just cried and cried.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault."

"It's not your fault. So you don't apologize. Can you leave me alone here. I want to be alone now."

"alright. I'll go first."

Lizzie went into her room and cried again. Vladimir continued driving without a destination. He was still overwhelmed by anger. He then returned to the image of Lizzie who was hugging Dave with affection. Vladimir then stopped his car on the side of the road and hit the steering wheel.

"I'm so stupid, for loving you, Lizzie. Why are you doing this to me? I'm so happy I finally got your love and enjoyed the love you gave me, but now you're hugging another man. Lizzie, you're really outrageous and you've hurt me."

Vladimir then started his car engine and drove back. Meanwhile, Lizzie was still crying in her room. Not long after Aleandra came and heard Lizzie's crying, and Akeandra knocked on Lizzie's room door.

"Lizzie, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? It's not like you're going with Vladimit. Why are you still here?’’

Lizzie opened the door and immediately hugged her mother and cried in her arms. Aleandra surprised.

"What happened, Lizzie?’’tell me.

Lizzie then told her mother about the incident earlier this afternoon. Aleandra tried to calm and comfort Lizzie.

"Lizzie don't cry anymore. You'd better meet Vladimir now and explain all these misunderstandings."

"But aju don't know where she is now?’’

"Try you just call him."

Lizzue then called Vladimir, but his phone was off.

"Tomorrow go to his office and meet him there."

"alright. I'll see him there tomorrow."

Night had arrived, Lizzie had absolutely no appetite. His dinner was not touched at all, then he went to his room. Dimitri and his grandfather were confused to see Lizzie's attitude now, as they had just seen Lizzie this morning very cheerful, but now they saw sadness on her face.

"Actually what has happened?’’ask Dimitri

Dimitri and Sergei waited for an answer from Aleandra

"He was fighting with Vladimir."

"Vladimir," they said simultaneously.

Then Aleandra told what happened, after hearing Aleandra's story, they were very surprised.

The next day, Vladimir came to the office with a sad face. Zoya was astonished by Vladimir's attitude today, because a few days ago and until yesterday Vladimir looked very happy, but now he looks very sad.

"These are the case files you requested."

"Just put it on the table, I'll check it out later." [ ]
