Chapter 38: Of Delicate Minefields
[TAMIKO]
"I don't care what you did or what Igor Konstantin was promised. But you, brother, are staying, and if Igor wants you to buy you, he can name his price. Grealor will pay it all," Galya said, adding the last bit in her luna tone, reminding Gabe that he was fucked for the next year.
"I like you," Igor said with a smile as he turned to Tamiko, "Seems like you were never alone, my little love."
And it was Galya's turn to stare blankly.
"What?" Galya asked like she hadn't heard the man correctly.
Of all the people she had expected would turn up and lay claim on Tamiko, Igor Konstantin had never once been on her mind.
Hell, she had never imagined that the bastard warrior even had anything that he could offer other than his murder skills which made him the bastard he was known as. Maybe Galya was missing something, right?
Maybe there was more to this but then as Galya looked at the faces of Gabe and his friends, seeing how tired they were compared to Tamiko, Galya knew there was something here.
Someone had been put through torture for long hours and strangely, it wasn't Tamiko the outcast. And that made Galya so happy and thrilled, but she had to wait and understand whatever was happening.
"Can we just fucking go to my father so you can have your stupid little chat, while me and my best friends get some rest? I believe we have slaved enough to last you a whole lifetime, no?
"You can do whatever you want after we get to father alright," Gabe asked irritably, instantly shutting Galya up, but making her have more questions than she could spell out.
