The Romanov Diadem: Oblast Dmitrovka 23. Spasibo, Viktor
Viktor widened his eyes, as did Xandrova. He saw his wife staring at Maksim. "What does that mean, Maksim?" Viktor was taken aback that Xandrova wasn't behaving as usual. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Since when do you have no manners for me, Miss Zoya?" Maksim sassily teased Xandrova. He touched Xandrova's pointed chin in front of Viktor. Oh, it certainly made Viktor's blood boil to see it. "How dare you flirt with someone else's wife, Mr. Maksim!" Viktor stepped closer to Maksim to get Xandrova away from the shameless man. "Caleb, take Miss Zoya away from here!" Caleb bowed and replied, "Yes, Mr. Viktor. Caleb turned to Xandrova. " Come on, Miss!" "But, Viktor ...." Viktor stared at Xandrova for a moment, then nodded for his little wife to follow his wishes. "Go with Caleb! I'll catch up with you, Zoya." Xandrova finally left with Caleb. Time like this was, of course, put to good use by Viktor. "Listen to me carefully, Mr. Maksim!" Viktor grabbed the coat lapel Maksim. "Oh, take it ea

Viktor closed the hotel room door with his foot. He leaves the cardlock in place to keep the light on.Viktor steps into the bedroom. He laid Xandrova down gently."You look exhausted, Zoya."Viktor placed his wife's handbag on the nightstand. Then, he removes the boots Xandrova is still wearing.***The summer vacation is over. Viktor and his wife had returned to the Konstantin family mansion in the Leningrad district."Where's Grandpa? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"Xandrova asked the maid who had faithfully cared for her since she was a toddler."The Great Master is waiting for you in the dining room for breakfast.""The dining room?!"Viktor saw Galana's eyes nearly jump out of their sockets. However, Viktor remained as calm as ever."Yes, ma'am."Viktor followed his mother-in-law and wife's footsteps to the dining room. For some reason, his instincts told him things were about to get out of hand."Hello, Papa-in-law."Galana greeted Gennadius first. The 50-year-old woman pressed
The Romanov Diadem: Oblast Dmitrovka 25. Xandrova's Wish
Viktor and Xandrova were stunned to hear Davidoff utter such inappropriate vitriol.'What the hell is Papa David?! Has Papa never once respected Grandpa?! And, Mama... as a wife, did she never advise him?!'Viktor ran through the questions in his mind. He noticed that Gennadius' face was flushed with a tightened jaw."Pa, it's not nice to talk to Grandpa like that!"Viktor spontaneously rebuked Davidoff in a slightly high tone. He also threw a glare at Davidoff."Ha! Ha! Ha!"Davidoff laughed at Viktor's behavior. And, Viktor was even more furious to see Davidoff acting like someone who had lost his mind."So funny, isn't it?! You can say that because Grandpa Gennadius has given you so many facilities, Viktor! As for me?!"Davidoff looked at Viktor who was opening his eyes wide and aiming at him."Oh, so that's why Papa had the nerve to say that to Grandpa?" Xandrova spoke up. She nodded as she looked at her father. "And, Mama ...." Now, Xandrova turned her face to Galana. "Why are yo
The Romanov Diadem: Oblast Dmitrovka 26. Guessing
And once again, Xandrova reassured her husband. However, it was clear from her gaze that Viktor couldn't believe her.A summer breeze entered the Konstantin family's dining room through the wide-open windows. The warm rays of the morning sun greeted Viktor's snow-white skin just like Xandrova's beautiful, well-groomed skin. The couple lived under the same roof in the Konstantin family's luxurious mansion. It's a classically designed mansion that showcases the decorative side of the past."Get on with it, Viktor, and don't beat around the bush like this!" Davidoff exclaimed to his son-in-law who was never considered."I'm sorry if you all waited so long for my decision. Because to be honest... this is really difficult for me."'If I make the wrong decision, Papa and Mama will blame me for what happened to their daughter, right?' Viktor thought hard about this. Viktor was confident in his assumption just now."Because I don't want you and Mama Galana to blame me for what will happen to
The Romanov Diadem: Oblast Dmitrovka 27. Neoklasik Stalin
Viktor was sitting across from his wife. He openly talks about his concerns over Xandrova's decision to return to education. The couple were silent as well as staring at each other. "All right, Viktor. I understand and agree to all the terms you said earlier." Viktor smiled and was relieved to hear Xandrova say so. "Okay, Zoya. I'll have Andriy take care of all your college preparations." Xandrova nodded in agreement. "Yes, Viktor. I'll be waiting for good news from you." Viktor rubbed the top of Xandrova's head, then walked to the balcony of her room. He walks while playing with his smartphone. Viktor: Andriy, take care of Zoya's paperwork and make sure she's treated well at college! That's Viktor. Just sending a short one-sentence message without any further ado. *** Today is Viktor's first day of work at the Konstantin family company located in the Moskovsky district of St Petersburg, Russia. He went to the office with Gennadius as well as three other men, one of whom was
The Romanov Diadem: Oblast Dmitrovka 28. The Candidate
Viktor stood in the corner of the office on the 7th floor. Yes, the same floor as Gennadius. He gazed at the beautiful view visible from his room. In the man's hand, there was a document that Gennadius had given him earlier. And, he wasn't alone."Mr. Viktor, is there anything you don't understand about the document in your hand?Viktor let out a long breath. It wasn't long before he turned around."Andriy, there are so many things I don't understand."Viktor walks over to the desk. He sits down across from Andriy."Do you know someone who can track?"Andriy tries to understand Viktor's question. However, in the end he asked to avoid misunderstanding his master."Tracking?"Viktor nodded decisively at the assistant. "Yes. I want someone trustworthy and an expert in tracking."Viktor watched Andriy fall silent. Deep down, he would love to have tracking skills."Is it like a detective?"Viktor shakes his head. "It doesn't have to be like a detective. The criteria I need is someone who h
The Romanov Diadem: Oblast Dmitrovka 29. Grand Hotel Art Accent
"Please, come in!"Viktor shouted from inside his room. He glanced at his watch which showed 12:48pm local time."Excuse me, Mr. Viktor.A man walked into Viktor's office with Andriy. The man greeted Viktor, then followed Andriy to Viktor's desk."What is going on, Yuri?"The man named Yuri Gorbachev had been Gennadius' right-hand man for a long time. And of course, Viktor knew this."Mr. Gennadius asked me to pick you up for lunch with the relations right now.""Oh, Yuri. As Grandfather's confidant, I'd like to ask you something."Yuri looked at Viktor suspiciously. "Yes, Sir?"Viktor thought for a moment about the consequences of asking a right-hand man of Gennadius."Ah, I think I'll ask Grandfather directly."To cover up his curiosity, Viktor quickly diverted his attention. He stood up and straightened his coat.***Viktor left with Gennadius and their two assistants. Caleb was tasked with watching them from a distance.As the son-in-law of the number one richest family in St Pete
The Romanov Diadem: Oblast Dmitrovka 30. The Threat
Gennadius' voice broke Viktor's reverie. Viktor was also nervous. Not nervous because he doesn't know or doesn't understand what Gennadius is talking about. However, because Viktor's mind was remembering something. Yes, that's right! Recalling the pieces of the past left in his mind."That's right, Mr. Viktor."Maksim joined the conversation. He glanced at Gennadius for a moment before continuing his words. Meanwhile, Viktor just fell silent, with his face beginning to blanch."In addition to musical performances, you can read books or magazines in Russian as well as foreign languages available on the bookshelf on the right, right behind you. The Grand Hotel Art Accent makes visitors feel comfortable."Maksim pointed to the bookshelf that was behind Viktor. However, Viktor didn't respond at all. Instead, he was busy playing with his thoughts.'I think I have to go to the bathroom right now,' Viktor thought, looking at Gennadius. He felt his head hurt."Grandpa and Mr. Maksim, I'm gonna
