Shattering Hearts
(S3): Escape
The next morning there was a commotion at the old house.
"Where is that woman? Why did you escape?’’the mafia boss.
"Boss, I found some of these guys passed out in the backyard."
"Quick look till you meet probably hasn't gone far."
"Good."
"Now the problem is what if Vladimir asks the woman? What do I have to answer?"
It wasn't long before his phone rang and the call was from Vladimir.
"Ha-hello! What's your answer to my request yesterday?’’
"I'll pay you and I'll hand it over myself. Now tell me where we met?’’
"good. That means you really love Lizzie. One of my men will pick you up in front of the office in an hour."
"alright. Can I now talk to Lizzie?’’
"You can't talk to him now.:
"Why?’’
"He's sleeping."
"I get it, but he's okay, right? I won't forgive you if you hurt him and hurt him."
"He's fine."
"Good."
Vladimir hangs up the phone and he is nervous if he can save Lizzie. Vladimir braced his heart to be able to save Lizzie no matter what.
An hour later the man who picked up Vladimir had arrived.
"Vladimir, careful! Do not let you get hurt too. I will pray for your safety,’’ Aleandra said.
"I will also pray for your safety,’’ Dimitri said.
Vladimit got into the car and the car left the office yard.
"Your eyes must be closed."
One of those who picked up Vladimir closed his eyes with a cloth. An hour later the car stopped and they took him in. After entering they opened their blinders.
"Welcome!"
Bosa the mafia pointed a gun at Vladimir.
"Where's Lizzie?’’
"Silent. She's doing just fine. Did you bring the money?’’
"This is the money."
Vladimir showed me the suitcase he was carrying.
"Open the suitcase!’’
Vladimir opened his suitcase and there was a lot of money in it.
"good. Put the suitcase in the middle."
Vladimir followed his words. One of his men took the suitcase and handed it to his boss.
"Thank you for paying my losses, but I'm sorry I couldn't get Lizzie together with you."
"What do you mean?’’
They were silent nobody spoke.
"WHY ARE YOU SILENT. WHERE IS LIZZIE? Did something happen to her? You guys didn't do anything bad to him, did you?’’
"We haven't done anything bad to her as long as she's here, but Lizzie's not here anymore."
Vladimit began to get angry and began to approach him, but was prevented by his men.
"WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS DONE TO HIM?’’
"We didn't do anything. He ran away from here last night."
"Whataaa? Lizzie escaped.But run where?’’
"If that I don't know."
Not long after, the police came in and in an instant the house was surrounded and the police also managed to catch the mob boss.
"VLADIMIR, YOU'RE REALLY INSOLENT."
Vladimir smiled and took back the suitcase held by him.
"It's not that easy beating kun. You should know that."
Vladimir smiled triumphantly and as he was about to leave the house, the mob boss managed to break away from the police and took the police's pistol and pointed it at Vladimir.
"Mr Kalashnikov, AAAAWWWAAAASSS IS BEHIND YOU" David said.
Vladimir looked back and was surprised a shot had been fired.
"TWOAAARRRR."

3 Days later
"Vladimir," shouted Lizzie.
Lizzie woke up with a sick and sore body. He looked around the room.
"Where am I?’’
Lizzie then recalled the incident that night. When she was woken up by a masked man.
3 Days before
Hendrik went to Lizzie's room and drugged her, then took the girl away from there, but the house was very strict, there were guards everywhere.
Hendrik went to the men and took the stone and threw it. The two men were provoked by the stone throw, and he fought with them. Eventually the two of them fell unconscious, as Hendrik managed to defeat them, but the fight caused quite a small commotion and several people came and saw the incident.
"Quick run from here,’’, said Hendrik.
Sven held Lizzie and took her as far away from there as possible and Hendrik fought with them. Some people managed to catch up to Sven. He fights them and Lizzie starts to wake up.
"This is where?’’
Lizzie watched their fight. He just screamed in fear.
"Lizzie, you're sober. It doesn't seem like he's drugging you hard enough."
"What happened?’’
Lizzie still held back her dizziness from the anesthetic earlier.
"Lizzie, why are you quiet. Let's get out of here!"
"But what about you?’’
"Have you not thought of that. I'll handle this."
Sveb was still fighting and trying to defeat the three men.
"QUICK LARIIIIIII."
Lizzie with all her might galloped over and one of the three men chased after Lizzie. The man managed to catch up and catch him. Lizzie rebelled, trying to get away from the man, but her efforts were in vain.
Suddenly Lizzie bit the man's hand with all her might and the man was in pain and let go. He took this opportunity to escape and this time his attempt failed, because the man managed to hit Lizzie's shoulder and his head was hit by a rock and unconscious.
Until there Lizzie does not remember the next incident. He held his head in a bandage and still felt pain in his head as well as his body.
"What day is it? And how long have I been passed out?’’
Lizzie tried to get out of bed. He felt sad, because the one who helped him was not Vladimir, but by people who were new to him.
"Vladimir is stupid."
Suddenly the door opened and someone came in.
"My situation is not good."
"That's a stupid question I asked. Of course you're not doing well."
"How many days have I been unconscious?’’
"3 days."
"Huh? 3 days?’’
"Yes. We found you passed out with a wound to your head. But thank God the wound on your head is not too severe, even though it makes you faint for 3 days. You suffer from a mild concussion and will recover, if you rest a lot. I'll bring you food."
Henry left the room and went to the kitchen. Lizzie looked around her room. The room is neither spacious nor narrow. This room was very comfortable, but unfortunately this room was tightly closed windows, so could not see the scenery outside.Not long after Hendrik brought a meal for Lizzie.
"Eat a lot to recover quickly!’’
Lizzie eats with gourmand.
"Why is this room window tightly closed?’’
"I don't know either. Maybe because it's an old building and it hasn't been used for a long time."
"Eh."
"I rented an old apartment for the three of us, because it was cheaper."
"Oh so."
"Quick spend your meal!’’
Lizzie quickly finished her food, then took some medicine. He was back in bed.
🍀🍀🍀
Vladimir survived the shot, because David was helping him. He sees Zoya sitting alone in front of the nursery where David is being treated right now.
"Zoya, how is it now?’’
"It's better."
"Thank God. It's all my fault. It's got to this."
"Don't blame yourself anymore. I've told you this isn't your fault."
"But because he saved me from that shot, he ended up getting hit by a bullet. He was willing to sacrifice his life for me. I'm really grateful to him. Fortunately the bullet only hit his arm."
"Don't remember that incident again. It will make us sad. Have you got any information on Lizzie's whereabouts?’’
"Absolutely not yet. I don't even know what it is right now. I wonder why he didn't call me or his parents immediately?’’
"Maybe it's not possible to call you. Just wait maybe in a few days he'll call. I'm sure Lizzie's fine."
"I hope so too. I want to see her again soon, because I miss her."
🍀🍀🍀
One week later
Lizzie's been in this room for a week and never been out of here. Lizzie's health has recovered. His head and body were no longer in pain and the bandages on his head had been opened.
After lunch prepared by Sven and Hendrik, Lizzie changed clothes and took a short walk outside enjoying the morning sun, because it had been a week he had not met the sun. Hendrik and Sven were not home, and Lizzie wrote a message on a piece of paper telling him she was going to take a short walk outside. Lizzie put the short message on the table. He came out of the door of his apartment and saw the building he was living in.
"This building is big and ancient."
Lizzie found a very large dark green exit, then she opened the door and dazzling sunlight entered the old building. Lizzie was very surprised when she saw the view outside, and then she closed the door again.
"This is impossible. I must have been dreaming."
Lizzie pinched her cheeks and hands.
"AAAWWWW. Be ill. It's not a dream."
Lizzie tried to reopen the door and she saw the same scene. He saw large and ancient buildings and many foreigners. Lizzie decides to get out of the old building to investigate where she is now.
"Obviously this is not Russia. So where am I now?’’
Lizzie looked left and right with a confused look on her face.
"I don't know this place."
Lizzie walked away from the old building and she saw ancient and magnificent buildings standing on the water. Many boats that run down the canal are busy carrying passengers. Cities that have canals instead of streets and houses look more like doors and windows without walls and without end.
"I think I know this place. This is the water city of Venice, Italy. Why am I here?’’
Lizzie is still confused by her whereabouts in Venice. He bit his finger while spreading his gaze around him. Suddenly, a baker offered her bread which had just finished roasting.
"This bun is delicious. Wanna try?"tanya in Italian.
Lizzie was confused, not understanding what the baker said.
"No. Thank you." Thank you."
Lizzie went straight from there in a hurry and quickly returned to her apartment. There Hendrik and Sven were waiting for Lizzie to come home with worried faces.
"You're finally home too. We're worried you'll get lost out there."
"Can you explain, why am I in Italy? Why did you bring me here?’’
"Sorry Lizzie. We had to bring you here. Because I thought that if we came here it would be safer and the mafia wouldn't be able to find us here. Fearing that if we continue to be in Russia, they will quickly find us. My boss has a lot of people and his acquaintances are everywhere. At least here we are safe for a while" Hendrik replied.
"How did you bring me here in a state of unconsciousness and injury?’’
"We came here on a private plane, and then in your bag you have a passport, so it's easy to get you here."
"Do you have a private plane?’’
"No. We borrowed it from our acquaintance and he's willing to help us."
"Oh so. So we'll stay here for a while?’’
"Looks like. We plan to stay here and we have already opened a business here. You can go back to Russia whenever you want. We will not forbid you to go home" Hendrik said.
"Looks like I'll also stay a while here?’’
"really? What about Vladimir?"
Lizzie's face turned sad.
"What's wrong? Did you guys fight?’’
"No. We didn't fight. It's just...’’
Lizzie did not continue her words and began to cry. Hendrik and Sven become confused with Lizzie who suddenly cries.
Lizzie then quickly wiped away her tears.
"Only did I feel upset and disappointed in him, because he did not try to help me when I was kidnapped. It is you who are trying to help me and sacrifice your lives for me. I'm really grateful to you guys. I don't know what to pay for your kindness with? And can I stay even longer with you guys here?’’
"You don't have to pay us anything. We wanted to get out and free ourselves from them. You have given us freedom and of course you can stay with us" Hendrik.
"That's right" said Sven.
"Thank you."
"Lizzie, we just opened a little Russian restaurant around here. Will you help us at our little restaurant?"ask Hendrik.
"really? I'll help you guys."
"Thank you" said Hendrik.

Moscow
Next day
"Mr Kalashnikov, it's been a week that Lizzie disappeared. Have you heard of Lizzie?’’
"Unfortunately not. The man I told to look for hasn't told me anything."
"Oh so. We'd better wait a few more days, who knows who you're asking for information about Lizzie's whereabouts."
"I hope so too. Every day I miss him. Oh yeah how about David's circumstances?’’
"He's fine. You don't have to worry about it anymore" Zoya said.
"Thank God then."[ ]
