Episode 10

Dmitry:

Now that Irina is pregnant, I take care of her even more and everyone in the house has been ordered to look after her and grant her every wish. If anything happens to her, they will pay a hefty price. In the past month, I've been investigating her family, and indeed, her mother left her a substantial inheritance, but there's a clause: it would only be handed over when she has a baby, and if she doesn't have a child by her thirtieth birthday, that inheritance will go to her father. Now I understand why she was forced to marry that old man who couldn't give her children. They wanted to make sure she didn't have any offspring, and that's why she had that implant in her arm. But to their misfortune, she is now my wife, and no one messes with my wife. So, I've made them suffer significant losses in their businesses. That's the only thing they care about. They messed with my wife, and I will never allow that.

Her father came to confront the old man who should have married Irina, and demand to know who she married. Of course, he didn't say anything. I paid him handsomely to take his place. If he betrays me, he knows he'll lose a lot. It seems her father is desperate to find her. He surely wants to prevent the baby from being born. But if he approaches my wife or my child, I am capable of killing him with my own hands. Irina thinks I'm being excessive with my care, but that's not true. She is my queen, and I have to take good care of her, just like our baby.

She agreed to undergo hypnosis. She wants to talk to our baby and sing to him. That fills me with excitement because I will surely hear her voice, and it will be music to my ears. But the hypnosis session will be this weekend. Today, Irina stayed home to rest, so I'm alone in the company with Luciano. When the company's door opened, my four brothers entered.

"We came to congratulate the future father and the worst brother in the world. Why didn't you let us know we were going to be uncles?" complained Vladimir, the youngest of us all, who is 23 years old.

"It slipped my mind. Besides, we wanted to wait for the first three months to pass," I replied.

"Please, it's our nephew, everything will be fine. He will be very strong," said Victor, the one right after me, who is 28 years old.

"That's right, he carries our blood," Leonardo, the third sibling, who is 26 years old, added.

"And when will you introduce us to your sister-in-law? You should have a grand dinner when mom and dad arrive tomorrow," said Bruno, who is 25 years old.

"What do you mean tomorrow? Did you let them know?" I questioned.

"Of course, they're landing tomorrow, and they're eager to meet the woman who will give them their first grandchild," Bruno answered.

"You should have asked. There are things they need to know about my wife before meeting her," I expressed, annoyed.

"Tell us, and we will talk to the family before taking them to your house," Victor offered.

I sighed and told them everything about Irina, her family, what I discovered, as well as the fact that she is currently not speaking and how she ended up becoming my wife. They listened attentively.

"We will support you and help take care of our sister-in-law and nephew. Everything will be fine," Victor assured.

"That's right. Tomorrow, we will pick up our parents and grandparents and explain everything before going to your house. If they don't accept it, we'll put them on the plane immediately so as not to make things uncomfortable for your sister-in-law," Bruno added.

"I would greatly appreciate that. Now that you're here, let's go home for dinner. I will call Martha to prepare something delicious for everyone and let Irina know that you're coming for dinner," I spoke as I moved my chair toward the exit.

"Yes, let's go meet our sister-in-law, but we can't go empty-handed. Go ahead, we will go to the mall," Victor said.

"Alright, I'll go ahead to the house and call Martha to let her know that my crazy brothers are coming for dinner.

Upon arriving at the house, Irina was wearing a beautiful green dress. She looked stunning. Without a doubt, pregnancy suits her wonderfully.

"Hello, beautiful," I said, making her sit on my lap.

"My brothers went to get presents for you. They'll come later," I mentioned, and she took out her phone.

"Do you think they'll like me?" Irina asked through her phone.

"Of course, they will adore you. After all, you're giving them their first nephew. Don't worry about anything," I expressed, planting a few kisses on her to make her smile.

We continued kissing and playing amongst ourselves for a while until my siblings arrived laden with bags.

"Sister-in-law, nice to meet you. I'm Victor, and I'll be my nephew's favorite uncle, you'll see. I bought many things for him and for you, this beautiful jewel," Victor spoke, handing over a box with a gorgeous, luxurious bracelet.

"Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you all," Irina responded from her phone.

One by one, my siblings introduced themselves and presented jewelry to Irina, and toys and clothes for the baby. However, it seemed that Irina didn't understand why all the clothing was for a boy, and I hadn't explained.

"Don't you think it could be a girl?" she asked through her cellphone.

"I see that he didn't tell you about our family history, but I will. There's only a one percent chance of having a girl in this family. You see, our great-grandmother had ten children, all boys. Our grandfather had six children, also boys, and our father had five children, us, and as you can see, there are no girls. Our uncles have children too, well, we have one female cousin, but she's adopted, not blood-related, so, no, the chances of having a girl are almost nil," Victor explained.

"Now I understand," Irina said with her cellphone.

Martha announced that dinner was served, and we all sat down to eat. My queen's smile was wide and bright. My siblings' antics made her smile a lot. She looked genuinely happy. I couldn't resist giving her a few kisses in front of my brothers, who were surprised, but what can I say? This woman drives me crazy.
