Since I Found You
Altea's Request

Vlad sipped a drink in a glass that only stayed a little. The man rested his body on the chair behind the desk. He closed his eyes. Suddenly, the shadow of Altea's beautiful face came with her sweet smile.

“Tuan ..”.

The typical voice of the brown-haired woman was clearly heard in Vlad's ears, making the handsome Russian man immediately open his eyes. He looked around, looking for a beautiful figure that in the past few days had kept him busy.

Vlad gulped down the rest of his drink. Then he got out of the chair. The handsome blond man left the study, and headed straight for the garage. Without lingering, Vlad pulled out the black sedan he was driving at noon.

I don't know where Vlad's going that night. He drove the luxury black sedan at high speed, through the night streets of Berlin. Moments later, the vehicle stopped in front of an ancient European-style building, where he had seen Ludwig and Altea kissing.

“Job!” vlad grumbled as he closed the car door tightly. He walked up the steps until he arrived at the door. Without wasting time, the Russian man knocked it quite tight.

Not long after, someone opened the door from the inside. A middle-aged woman who was none other than Delma. “Goodnight. How can I help you, Mister?” ask the woman politely.

“I want to find Altea Miller,” Vlad replied without further ado.

Delma stunned. He stared in full disquiet at the figure of the handsome man before him. The middle-aged woman did not know the owner of the blonde hair at all. “Whose you?” Instead of responding to Vlad's remarks, Delma instead asked a question, which was enough to make Vlad fed up.

Ever since his foot was amputated, the friendly Vlad turned into a temperament. He is very sensitive, to things that do not feel in accordance with his heart.

However, since it was a woman of Elke's age, Vlad still left a little friendliness. “Vlad Ignashevich,” replied the blue-eyed man. “I'm here to pick up Miss Altea Miller. I hope you're willing to work together. Don't let me tear this place apart, like I did with Ludwig Stegen's casino" he threatened.

Delma gasped at the subtle threat from Vlad. He gripped tightly at the edge of the door leaf. The middle-aged woman would instantly smash him hard, had Vlad forced her in. However, Delma is a woman who is good at mastering emotions. He still showed a calm demeanor wrapped in a warm smile. “Sorry, Mr. Ignashevich. But Miss Miller is not here. What am I hiding it for?”

Vlad smiled a cynical smile at the corner of his lips. He won't believe it just like that. ”I respect you as a woman, Mistress. You are not my opponent. So, once again I emphasize that you are willing to cooperate. Let's make everything a lot easier.”

“Sorry once, Mr. Ignashevich. However, Miss Miller is not here,” reply Delma stick to the answer earlier.

Vlad looked at Delma. He squinted, as if analyzing the honesty of the middle-aged woman before him. “Good. In that case, tell me where Ludwig Stegen lives,” the door is serious.

Again, the request that made Delma could only take a deep breath. He could not have given Ludwig's apartment address to a foreign man who was clearly looking for Altea's whereabouts. Moreover, after the incident last afternoon, which made Delma feel so different when she saw the figure of Ludwig.

The handsome Goldgeld Casino owner asked Delma to accompany Altea to the doctor. He wants Altea to use contraception. That means, Ludwig did want the young woman, because he had never been like that to any woman before.

“Mistress?” Vlad's heavy voice resuscitated Delma from her daydream. “Give me the address of Ludwig Stegen,” ask the man again.

However, Delma immediately shook her head. He's not gonna do the stupidity Vlad asked. “Sorry, Mr. Ignashevich, you better come back and never come back here again. I'll make sure that you won't get anything from me.”

“What's up?” Ludwig's heavy voice was heard on the other end of the phone.

“There was a man named Vlad Ignashevich who came here. He's looking for Miss Miller,” Delma reported.

Ludwig, who was in the room at the time, did not immediately respond. His gaze was fixed on Altea who was sound asleep on the mattress, covered only with a blanket. As usual, that night they just finished carrying out a mission to Mars. “What did the man say?” asked Ludwig coldly.

“He threatened to tear apart my place, if I didn't tell him where Miss Miller was. Vlad Ignashevich also requested your residence address.”

“Job!” ludwig growled slowly.

“Who is that guy? What does this have to do with Miss Miller?” delma asked curiously.

“You don't need to know anything. I'll take care of everything.” After saying so, Ludwig hung up the phone earlier. The gray-eyed handsome man's gaze returned to Altea, who seemed to be writhing slowly. However, the young woman fell asleep again.

Ludwig who was only wearing sleeping pants, walked out of the room. He contacted someone while continuing to step towards his study. “Helen, I want the information I asked you a few days ago about Vlad Ignashevich. Send it now.”

Without waiting for a reply from the woman named Helen, Ludwig immediately hung up the phone. He sat behind the desk, then turned on the laptop. Ludwig waited for the email to be sent by Helen.

No need to wait too long, the email from Helen has come in. Louis opened it and read it. “Eisenschwerts,” mumbled Ludwig while raising his eyebrows. “How can he be the holder of this company?” thought the man. He then directed the cursor, reading everything in the file sent from Helen.

The longer, Ludwig's countenance grew more serious. Moreover, when he read one very surprising information. “Vlad Ignashevich's. So, you're Roderyk Lenkov's adopted son?” Ludwig leaned his body. “The cup, you are not a random person.”

Ludwig closed his laptop. He's moving out of the workspace. The man went back to the room. Ludwig walked into the closet and got dressed. However, when Ludwig was about to leave the room, there was a raucous voice of Altea that immediately stopped his steps.

“Where are you going?” ask the young lady. He sat down with a blanket that covered his chest.

“I'll be out for a while. Stay here,” replied Ludwig coldly. Although he had made love to Altea many times, but it did not make him more gentle. The man still had trouble giving a single smile.

“Where are you going?” ask Altea again. His feelings were not calm, after the meeting with Vlad this afternoon. Regardless of his body still in a state of innocence, Altea directly got off the bed. He approached Ludwig who was about to open the door. “Do not go,” prevent it while holding the man's arm with the leather jacket.

Ludwig. The look in his eyes was so sharp, directed at the beautiful woman who put a hopeful face before him. “Why?” asked the owner of the gray eyes in a deep, heavy voice.

“If you want me to stay here, then I'm not going anywhere. However, please do not nullify my master," pinta Altea.
