Although they have had the same encounter recently, Maria Rozin and Ulyana Meretskova in front of her have only met occasionally in between lectures to the girls, and they are not too familiar with each other.

What's more, for some reason, although Ulyana was very calm at this time, Maria only felt embarrassed, and when she heard the other party's invitation to dinner together, she subconsciously shook her head: "No, oh, thank you, Ulya, but, I, there is something to do at night." ”

Seeing Maria's refusal and stumbling when she spoke, Ulyana Meretskova looked at her for half a second, then suddenly smiled, put on the pair of brown glasses again, and said: "In this case, then I will talk about it next time." ”

Say hello like this, say goodbye to each other on both sides, and staggered by.

Annette Rozin couldn't help but turn her head to look at the figure of Ulyana leaving, looked at her mother again, opened her mouth, remembered her mother's red eyes and tears not long ago, and didn't ask. Although Maria, who felt her daughter's gaze next to her, did not hear any inquiry, she still did not dare to say anything to her daughter, and just continued to move forward silently.

On the other side, Ulyana quickly returned to her villa with two entourages, and as soon as she entered the door, a little boy who looked to be in his early teens hurriedly ran over, looked at the convenience bag held by the waiter behind Ulyana, and said, "Mom, my uncle called just now." ”

When Uriana heard this, she immediately frowned slightly: "Which one?"

The little boy was suddenly a little speechless, turned his head to look at his sister who came over behind him, about fourteen or fifteen years old but a tall girl who had perfectly inherited his mother's figure and appearance, and said: "It's Uncle Boris, because you are not there, he said to call later," the girl said, noticing her mother's expression, she stepped forward to hold her mother's arm, and suddenly looked like a little resentful: "Mom, my uncle still wants your mobile phone number, of course I didn't give it, he must have called again to ask for money, right?"

Uriana ignored her daughter's words, and saw that her son couldn't wait to pick up the convenience bag that the maid had just put on the coffee table in the living room, and was about to teach a lesson, when the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Still glaring at her son, Ulyana instructed the maid to sort and put away the things she had just bought, and then walked to the phone, picked it up and said hello, and listened to a few words from the other side, and her voice was cold: "...... It's not bad, I'm not sure when I'll be able to go to the U.S...... I happen to be a little tired, Boris, is there anything you can just say...... Mom and Dad are with you, $500 a month, this is what we have negotiated, Boris, and if you try to ask for more, I will not give you a penny...... No, the money can only be transferred to Dad's account...... You don't seem to understand what I mean, Boris, don't try to play tricks in front of me, that $500 already means to take care of you, and you have to take care of Mom and Dad, if you let me know you're not doing your best, I'll have someone clean you up, you know I can do it now. ”

After saying this, ignoring the reaction of the other party, Ulyana hung up the phone directly, ignored the children and waiters not far away, and walked directly upstairs.

Coming to the bedroom on the second floor, Ulyana took off her long black skirt, kicked off her shoes, and just got on the bed, an obvious tiredness seemed to hit quickly, pulled up the quilt, and in a blink of an eyelid there was already some eyelid fighting.

But he insisted on not sleeping.

Because there was a palpable anxiety and even fear in my heart.

Today is August 25th.

Since meeting that man on July 22 last month, he has successfully aroused his interest, and then, at first, there has been excitement and anticipation, especially after confirming that he can leave Ukraine and go to the United States. It's just that half a month ago, when she gradually found that she began to feel a little lethargic, emotionally unstable, and, most importantly, her menstrual period, which used to be very punctual in the past, did not come, Ulyana couldn't help but feel at a loss.

Already a mother of two children, and, that night...... In short, even though she hadn't tried to prove anything until now, as time went on, some of the symptoms became more and more apparent, and Ulyana became more and more sure of something.

Having been born in a large family, and was accustomed to seeing many children of large families treat illegitimate children and try to take advantage of various methods of pregnant women, Ulyana is not happy about her situation at all.

Moreover, she doesn't even dare to do anything in private now.

Because it is very likely that no matter what you do, the result will be wrong, according to some experience, it is best to take the initiative to tell a man, and then, what the other party asks to do, she will do it.

It's just that all kinds of contingencies make her worry a lot.

That man's power and wealth at this time were too strong, and having an extra son, especially an illegitimate child, would inevitably involve a lot of things, even if she actually just wanted to live a better life for herself, and didn't think about this kind of thing at all, but would he believe it?

In the end, even if you die suddenly and inexplicably, it is not impossible.

In today's Ukraine, at least in the northwestern part of Ukraine, especially in the city of Rivni, Simon Westeros couldn't have made anyone disappear.

Feelings of confusion, anxiety, and fear kept coming, and Ulyana didn't know when she would fall asleep.

I woke up again because there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Outside, it was already dark.

In agreement, her maid Kaja pushed open the door, looked at her in the dim bed, and whispered, "Ma'am, dinner is ready." ”

Ulyana answered again, and waited for Kaja to turn on the bedroom light for herself, before she sat up, and saw that the maid took the initiative to come over and help her take the long dress, and enjoyed the feeling of being served, and then a certain worry surfaced, and she couldn't help but have some resentment, and that morning...... She was looked at by the housekeeper of the hot spring manor and took medicine, how could this be!

After getting dressed, I washed up briefly, and went downstairs to the dining room, where a pair of children were already sitting at the dining table, waiting for their mother to sit down, and another female guard, Irina, served dinner, and the daughter Anna watched her mother pick up the tableware and start eating, and looked at her younger brother before saying, "Mom, wait a minute...... Let's go over there, okay?"

The 'over there' that my daughter said was naturally the resort's recreation area.

Ulyana carefully cut the salmon on the plate, without raising her head, and said coldly: "What are you going to do, drinking, or gambling?"

Mother didn't look at her, Anna Meretskova quickly shook her head and said: "No, no, it's not it, Mom, it's a circus performance, the poster I saw at the fountain today." ”

Ulyana snorted, still not raising her head: "Don't go." ”

Anna Meretskova was a little disappointed, but she didn't give up, and said, "Then, Mom, if you don't go, can Nick and I go?"

"No, you're too small. ”

11-year-old Nikoas Meretskov hurriedly said at this time: "Mom, you can let Kaja or Irina accompany us, so it's no problem, please, Mom." ”

Listening to the two children coming and going, Ulyana suddenly became a little irritable, in order to prevent her son and daughter from continuing to make noise in her ears, she reluctantly agreed, nodded and said, "You must come back before 10 o'clock, otherwise you will sleep outside." ”

Nicholas said: "Mom, the poster says that the circus is from 9 to 11 o'clock. ”

"Then don't go. ”

"No, we promise to be back at 10 o'clock. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Mom's ......"

"Shut up. ”

Feeling the mother's impatience, the two children immediately fell silent.

It was not until the end of the dinner that Anna Meretskova finally carefully begged her mother for change, got a $100 bill, and then excitedly left the villa with the maid, Irina.

Although the weather is starting to get cooler, the hot spring resorts are a little more lively than in previous months, and even though the level of consumption here is higher and it is purely for foreigners, it is not surprising that some locals with good incomes come to watch performances on weekends and so on.

The Anna sisters and brothers took Irina through the hotel area and came to the leisure and entertainment area, looking at the bustling scene under the street lamps in the night and the interior of the various buildings around the area, which was obviously more lively, and was quite excited.

The show started at nine o'clock, it was still early, the sisters and brothers took a turn in the entertainment area, and entertainment venues such as casinos and bars were not daring to enter, but they were quite excited just by walking outside.

It wasn't until it was nearly nine o'clock that I walked to the theater.

It's just that at an intersection not far from the theater, the appearance is a little eye-catching after all, Anna was stopped by two tourists again, Irina stepped forward again, this time it seemed a little difficult to speak, the female guard could only try to block between the two children and the tourists, was arguing, suddenly a few young people from the parking lot came over, two of them looked a little similar and tall and very fluent with leather jackets The guy put his arm around the shoulders of a foreign tourist, laughing and dragging each other away, while the female guard gestured.

Irina saw that the other party was clearing the siege, although she didn't quite understand, she still nodded at the other party before leaving with her sister and brother.

It was indeed two fellows of the two brothers who were firmly locked in their arms to the tourist, and one of them said in the same stumbling English: "Man, how about I ask our men to invite you to the bar for a drink, I'll pay for it, but it's better not to provoke the woman in uniform like that just now." ”

The two tourists from Spain saw that they were carrying a group of entourages who were not like good people, and they were already a little scared and weak, and they nodded hurriedly when they heard the other party invite the two of them to drink, as well as the accompanying reminder.

Only then was he let go, and obediently followed one of the two leaders to the bar.

Seeing off the two of them, one of the young men in leather jackets ordered one of them to follow the three who had just left, take care of them, and then say to the other: "Nick, do you know who those two little guys are just now?"

Two brothers, two of Ivgenia's older brothers, brothers Nikolas Kolkoszko and Kirill Kolkoszko.

Seeing his brother ask, Nikolas Kolkoszko shook his head and continued to walk towards a club on the side of the resort, saying, "But it must be a female guard, it's right to take care of it." ”

When Kirill Kolkoshko heard this, he didn't say anything more, but suddenly got angry again: "These gringos, they don't follow the rules when they come to play, and they really want to beat them up." ”

"Don't mess around. ”

"Of course, oh just talking, otherwise I wouldn't have cooperated with you just now. ”

As they spoke, the brothers had arrived at the club not far away, and this time they did not immediately look for a woman, but followed the waiter to the reserved box.

Guests have arrived early.

Two middle-aged men.

Ordinary people have no way of knowing, but the upper echelons of Rivne know that the underground forces in Rivne Oblast have recently suffered another consolidation, and it is these two middle-aged people, Yuri Yagushevsky and Boris Orlevich, who are taking the lead.

And tonight's meeting is also based on this.

Although at Simon's request, Evgenia's two older brothers broke away from the level of gangsters and started business, but at the same time, they still pulled up their own group of people in the past two years, the kind that is neither black nor white.

As a result, Yuri Yagushevsky and Boris Orlevich, under Simon's arrangement, began to integrate the underground forces of the Rivne region, and it was inevitable that there would be an intersection with the brothers, a group of people of the same size, or, friction.

In order to avoid anything unpleasant, tonight is to discuss this matter.

In fact, this matter was also delineated by Simon.

Yuri Yagushevsky and the others are doing pure gang business, drugs, arms, etc., and the Kolkoshko brothers, after all, have gradually been whitewashed, or, they have never been completely blacked, after all, before the sister was chosen by someone, both of them were just unpopular gangsters, and now they are also good, and in terms of rubbing the edges, they are only using shady means when doing their own amber mining business or import and export trade.

In this negotiation, only one thing is clear.

Yagushevsky and the two are completely engaged in black business, while the brothers, who only occupy the smuggling part, draw a line, and make it clear that they can live in harmony in the future, and maybe cooperate.

Yagushevsky and the two also understood that they were the tool people launched by a certain big man, and for the Kolkoshko brothers who were closer to the big man, they naturally conceded a little, not to mention, the other party's requirements were not high, the two sides quickly negotiated, and they talked very happily, chatted for more than half an hour, it was after talking, and they were about to have some fun, when there was a knock on the door of the box, and one of the brothers' subordinates walked in, saying that their father was nearby, let the brothers pass, and also sent an invitation to Yagushevsky and the two.

At the government level, Vladimir Kolkoshko is the northernmost Simon on the side of the Rivne region, and the other party invites him, so he naturally does everything.
