|Vladimir's POV|

I leaned against the wall with my darling wife beside me. She was shivering in fear and it was damn visible to everybody.

I hated it when she was scared. Not that I cared whether she was scared or not; It's just that she was ruining my reputation by showing everyone that she was a pathetic little bitch.

"Will you stop fucking shivering?!" I snapped at her and she flinched. See? That was exactly what I was talking about.

"I- I'm s-sorry." She mumbled, her eyes landing on Blake De Luca and a girl whose name was Marissa Kent, apparently.

"My brother is coming for me and he'll kill you!" Blake shouted, struggling to set himself free from those ropes. I chuckled darkly at the kid, "I'm counting on it."

"Why are you doing this?" My wife asked, making me advert my gaze from Blake to her. I raised my brows at her. "Darling it's been what? Four years since you're my wife and you still do not know my ultimate goal in life? I'm highly disappointed in you."

"Well maybe if you hadn't killed my husband and made my children orphans, I would've cared about what the fuck you're doing in your damn life!" She snapped and instantly regretted what she said when my palm made contact with her cheeks.

"Watch your tone, darling. You wouldn't want to be punished now, would you?" I asked, watching her rub her cheeks with tears falling from her eyes.

"I'm sor-sorry." She whispered.

"You sick bastard!" Blake shouted making me chuckle again. "How dare you hit a woman? Your own wife?" He continued and I laughed.

"Well..." I trailed off, "she deserved it. Anyway, enjoy your time here while waiting for your dear brother to come."

"Wait" Blake said making me stop in my tracks. I turned around and raise my brows at him, "Yes?"

"Why do you need The Deadly?" He asked making me smirk at my wife. Her eyes widened and she shook her head, trembling. "D-don-t"

"I won't hurt her, darling. She's my daughter, after all." I smirked. She fell on her knees and started crying. How pathetic.

"You have a daughter?" Blake asked to which I nod. "I had no idea that I had one until she told me." I glanced at my wife who was crying her eyes out.

When Logan and Daniel died, I figured out that the Deadly was coming for me. I connected the dots and realized that Both Logan and Daniel were with me, the night when we took down the Romanos. I knew that that person had something to do with it.

I then visited Lewis and some other men who were with me that day, knowing that either of them would be next on her list. I handed them all a camera telling them that I'll protect them but I didn't. They were baits. Then when she killed Lewis, I saw her face.

I showed that to my darling wife and she instantly told me that it was her daughter. I was ready to place a fucking bounty on her head but when she told me that she was my daughter I stopped right in my tracks.

I was ecstatic to find out that I had a daughter. I was ready to offer her the world. Honestly, I was proud when I found out that my very own daughter was the most feared assassin alive.

I was also scared shitless when I found out that she was coming for me. She was feared for a reason.

"I have something to do real quick." I said to Blake and the others before leaving the basement.

"Why did you marry that monster? Clearly, he doesn't treat you well." I said to the woman who looked extremely similiar to Lea. I couldn't wonder but to ask myself if these two were related.

She glanced up at me and wiped her tears before smiling weakly. "I didn't marry him. We aren't married."

"Then why did you with him?" I asked, confused. She sighed, her voice was hoarse as she speak, "He killed my husband and forced me to stay with him."

"But you guys have a daughter…" I mumbled, confusion clear in my voice. That woman looked miserable, she needed help. She looked so much like Lea.

"My husband worked for Vladimir. In fact, me and Vladimir were friends. One night, we went to a club and I got drunk and things happened…He wasn't drunk. He took advantage of my drunken state." She sobbed, "then years later…he came and killed my husband. He wasn't supposed to know that she was his daughter, in fact, he wasn't supposed to know that she existed. But then…he saw the Deadly's face and- saw that she looked like me...he asked me if I knew her...." She paused, "when I said that I did, he was about to place a bounty on her head. He would reveal her real identity to the world and I knew that my daughter would never be able to escape the number of people who would be on her back then... So I told him that she was his daughter...and he didn't do anything.. Deep down, he cares about her... But he wants her to work for him…and I don't want that.."

"Your daughter is the deadly?" I asked to which she nodded, "I didn't know until he showed me..."

"What's your daughter's name?" I asked which made her smile. "Azalea Romano and I also have a son...his name is Alessio Romano…he's the world's best sniper but Vladimir doesn't know that he's my son or related to me in any ways..."

Romano.

The name kept ringing in my head. My heart was aching from the betrayal me and my whole family received from Alessio.

He never told us his full name or if he did, he lied. Alesiso Romano and Azalea Romano…Azalea- Lea.. Fuck!

She's been with us all this time yet we were so blind! She lied…they lied.

How would Enzo react when he would find out about this? About this huge lie?

Enzo wouldn't take it well…I knew my brother. If there was one thing that he hate then that's Liars…He trusted Alessio with his life, we all did. The fact that Alessio didn't tell him that he was a Romano would hurt him deeply.

But nothing would hurt him more when he would find out that Lea wan't Lea White, she was Azalea Romano, Alessio's sister, the Deadly and Vladimir's daughter.

Did Lea know about this? That…she's Vladimir's daughter? Wait, so What if she didn't? She still lied. My brother won't like this.
