Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

[Moscow, Russia]

[Petrov Mansion]

When Samuel arrived home, the first person he looked for was his sister Katherine.

After talking to Joshua, he couldn't wait any longer to find out what was going on between Katherine and Igor. And what was Igor using to threaten her.

This is why he took the earliest flight and flew back home with a very strong determination to take Katherine with him to Elisberg City.

"Young master, you are back?" Viktor quickly approached him.

Samuel nodded at him. "Where is brother?"

"He is out on a trip but he will be back at the end of this week." He then quickly took out his phone. "I'll give him a call to tell him you are back."

"There is no need for that, don't disturb him while he is at work." Igor not being home was a very nice thing for Samuel. He could now easily execute the plan of taking Katherine with him. But Viktor was still a problem.

The person Igor trusted the most after Joshua was Viktor. Samuel knew he would tell Igor about his arrival as soon as he got a chance.

"Why didn't you go with brother?" He found it very weird that Igor left Viktor behind. It was quite an unusual thing for him to do.

"Madam is alone at home so the boss left me behind to take care of her," Viktor answered.

"Where is Katherine?" He inquired. Igor leaving behind his most trusted men to guard Katherine didn't seem quite right.

"She is in her room."

Without saying anything, Samuel walked towards the stairs.

...

[Katherine's Room]

As soon as Katherin saw Samuel, she pounded into his embrace before bursting into tears.

"Hey, what happened?" Samuel hugged her tightly as he patted her back. "Don't cry, I am here."

"Brother, take me away from here." She pulled away and looked at him. "Brother Igor has gone crazy."

"What do you mean?" He frowned as he carefully examined her. "Did he do something to you?"

She shook her head. "No but—" She couldn't complete her sentence as tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

"Stop crying first and tell me what is going on?" Samuel was now getting anxious. His heart sank seeing his sister like that.

"I don't wanna marry him. I—"

"Then don't," Samuel stated. "If you don't wanna marry him, you don't have to."

"But brother Igor—"

"Don't worry about him for now. Pack your things first, you are coming with me to Elisberg City."

[London]

[Tiffany cafe]

Owen was about to enter the cafe when he received a call from Samuel. He frowned and contemplated for a while before receiving it.

"Why the fu*ck are you calling me when I am on vacation?"

"Owen, I need your help," Samuel remarked.

"Why do you think I'll help you of all the people?" Owen scoffed. "I think you are not sure about how much hatred I have for you and your entire f*ucking family."

When Samuel did not say anything, he sneered, "So now you are silent—"

"You can hate me as much as you want, I really don't have a problem with that. But right now, I need your help." When Owen did not say anything, he requested, "Please Owen, I really want your help."

"Geez what's with the begging? Is everything okay?" Owen had known Samuel for so many years but never had he sounded so desperate.

"I will tell you everything later but first, I want your help to fly back to the city with Katherine."

As Igor had a plan to keep Katherine, Samuel knew he would do anything to prevent him from taking her away. He needed a strong backup if he wanted to take her with him. This is why he decided to contact Owen.

Igor would never interfere on something the Volkov's were a part of.

"I don't know man, I don't think Andrew will like the idea of getting involved in this mess." Keeping quiet for a while, Owen added, "Let me talk to Andrew first and get back to you."

"Alright but don't take too long."

After hanging up the call, Owen entered the cafe where everyone was enjoying their breakfast.

…..

[Inside]

"Don't you want to eat anything?" When Edward shook his head, Justin insiquired, "What did you eat for breakfast?"

"Pancakes and chocolate ice-cream," he exclaimed.

"What did I tell you about eating ice-cream in the morning?" Justin gently pinched the little one's arm.

Keeping quiet for a while, Edward answered, "But it's okay to eat whatever we want during vacation."

Just then Owen arrived and everyone looked at him.

"What?"

"He stays with you for three days and the things you have taught the kid." Justin sighed and helplessly shook his head.

"That kid loves me, I am his only fun dada. Am I right, Ed?" When the little one nodded enthusiastically, Owen winked at him.

He then looked at Andrew. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

Andrew nodded before looking at Rachael. "I'll be back in a second."

….

[In a distance]

"What is it? Is everything okay?" Andrew knew what Owen wanted to talk about was important.

"Samuel called me," he answered. "He wants us to help him bring his sister Katherine to the city."

When Andrew did not say anything, Owen sighed, "I know what you are thinking but he sounded very anxious so—"

"What do you think?" he interrupted him. "Do you want to help him?" Andrew had yet to disclose to Owen and Justin the conversation he had with Samuel and how he had agreed to help him to deal with his brother.

"I don't know," Owen shrugged. "I am just saying that he sounded very anxious. So maybe it's important otherwise he would have never called me."

"He even used the word 'PLEASE' so I guess it's important," he added.

"Alright then, if you think he is genuine let's help him out."

When Owen did not say anything, Andrew asked, "What happened? Are you getting second thoughts?"
