The gathered people who heard this gasped in shock. They looked between Mrs. Pilsar and the newcomers.
Some of them, seeing Gregorej and Anton on his right, recognized the men and swallowed hard.
Darell, seeing Sophie with his family, was surprised but didn't say anything. It seemed that Gregorej wanted to help him and didn't intend to ruin it in any way.
Darell's furious mother approached the Ruslanovs. She clearly didn't recognize the men because she intended to tell them what she thought of them.
Especially seeing the woman by their side, because of whom she had to return to France.
She had never been so humiliated before but she had to find out the hard way, that only today would she learn what true humiliation was.
"What do you think you're doing? Who are you anyway and how did you get here? Where is the security when you need them! Please take these people out!" She called out but to her surprise no one dared to move.
Some of them, hearing her words, covered their mouths with their hands, feeling that it would end badly for her.
"Sweetheart, you didn't tell me that his mother was so stupid as not to know the Ruslanovs. I thought she moved among the elite. Apparently I was wrong," Gregorej said to his daughter gently, but turning towards the woman, his gaze was murderous.
"Mrs. Pilsar, allow me to introduce my father and brother. Gregorej and Anton Ruslanov. Maybe something is dawning now?"Spohie asked with slight sarcasm.
The woman's expression changed from furious to full of panic.
"What are you even talking about? Your father is Antonio Forzani!" Irina couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"As you can see, it turned out that my father is Gregorej and Anton is my twin. You can see the resemblance, right?" She smiled victoriously.
There was no hiding the fact that the siblings looked incredibly similar.
"Let's stop this unnecessary chatter. Your engagement is invalid. Your children are already taken and I suspect that the other party will agree with me," Anton interjected, looking at the would-be fiancés, who visibly paled upon hearing that they would achieve nothing today.
Their fathers with forced smiles on their faces began to bow to them and agree with Anton's words. They were not crazy enough to stand up to the Ruslanov family.
"Darell is my partner and I don't intend to change that. Ever" Sophie said seriously, waving her hand at her beloved, who quickly approached her and kissed her on the cheek.
However, Irina was not going to give up. She couldn't say a word about her son but she still had a daughter.
"Darell may be your man but Diana..."
"Belongs to me" Anton finished for her, approaching Diana, kissing her hand and hugging her around the waist.
The woman tried her best to pretend to be happy with that. She smiled as much as she could looking at the man, who was hugging her.
She didn't feel comfortable with it but they had to convince the entire room of people that this was the truth.
Tomas, standing from a distance, watched it with regret and clenched fists. He was unable to defend Diana.
He was just an ordinary doctor who meant nothing in this room full of celebrities and politicians.
With a throbbing heart he waited for this whole farce to end so he could hug his beloved.
He didn't know that he wasn't the only one who felt something like this.
Somewhere in the room Noah was also standing and observing. Watching everything, his face was devoid of any emotions.
He knew that this was how it had to be to help the boss and Miss Diana. However, his heart was torn by pain seeing his partner hugging the woman.
Seeing him whisper something in her ear and her shyly nodding, he fought not to show how much he was suffering.
However, when Anton's gaze rose, his eyes immediately met Noah's. His gentle and penetrating gaze, which lasted very briefly, was enough for the man to understand what he had to say to him.
'Everything will be fine'
Noah closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming his raging emotions. Anton promised him that it was just for show.
He believed him. No matter what happened and no matter what he heard, he believed in him.
Why? Because he had never lied to him. He always kept his word.
Smiling to himself, Noah slowly opened his eyes, being much calmer.
"Now that everything is clear, I understand that we have nothing more to talk about" Gregorej replied not having the slightest desire to talk to the woman.
"Wait I didn't..."
"Irina" A male voice interrupted the woman. A voice she knew well enough to let go.
She looked at the man approaching her in his 50's. He was an older version of Darell but still very handsome.
"Zahary" Irina whispered, her gaze much gentler.
"That's enough. Our children are old enough to decide for themselves. You will come back to America with me. You will help with my work" He stroked her cheek affectionately and then turned to Gregorej and his children.
"I apologize for my wife. Sometimes she overdoes her overprotectiveness" He bowed his head in apology but Anton and Sophie almost snorted in dissatisfaction upon hearing his explanation.
Overprotectiveness. Yeah right.
"I hope I won't have to intervene again. I'm usually not so generous as to give someone a second chance," Gregory said loudly enough for everyone to hear.
For some reason, people nodded in agreement as if he was talking to each of them individually. No one wanted to mess with them.
"I also think the press got what they wanted and can leave this party. I don't like hearing about myself in the newspaper." Sending a clear message, the security helped the press leave the room.
The almost-to-be fiancées left right after them, as Gregory didn't feel like looking at them.
The others went back to talking among themselves as if nothing had happened just a moment ago.
The braver ones approached the Ruslanovs to exchange a few words with them.
Darell and Diana went to greet their father, who didn't stay long. Hugging them, he took his wife with him and left the party.
Darell, seeing how everything had been resolved, breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that if he had wanted to solve this problem with Sophie right away, no one would have had to worry so much and he would feel much better.
Hugging Sophie, he whispered in her ear. "Thank you for everything and I'm sorry again. I was stupid"
The woman smiled to herself and patted him on the back. "Don't make the same mistake twice. Remember, my daddy doesn't give second chances" She laughed in his ear, but the man knew that this was no joke.
Swallowing hard, he decided he would never oppose her.
Gregorej didn't intend to stay here too long. He had to get back to his place and get on with his business.
After the party was over, he said goodbye to Sophie and Anton, heading straight to the airport.
Anton had partly assigned his men to keep the journalists from following them for the next few days. After several desperate pleas to Don, he begged him to have Zick check the network. If any of their photos appeared, he was to delete them immediately.
Tired of the whole farce, they returned to their apartments so they could finally rest undisturbed.
Diana and Tomas fell asleep cuddled up in their bed.
Sophie took a long, relaxing bath with Darell, who no longer had the strength to even lift a finger.
As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep within seconds cuddled up to his beloved.
Anton intended to reward Noah for this moment of suffering with hot sex.
Since the entire company had tomorrow off, Anton gave the security guards orders from their boss not to make their rounds in the office today.
They were only to sit at the reception, check the cameras, and not let anyone in.
Smuggling Noah in quietly, they went straight to his office to fulfill his old promise.
After all, his office and desk and who knows what else, wouldn't deflower themselves, right?
Anton fought with all his remaining strength not to take the man in the middle of the hallway, rip his clothes off and take him for the ride of his life.
Noah, very excited, knowing what was about to happen, tried to go faster on his already shaking legs.
His cock and back throbbed alternately. As soon as he grabbed the handle and opened the door, he was grabbed from behind by confident, muscular hands and pressed against the wall by someone's heated body.
He immediately felt his big cock brushing against his pants, hurrying him into action.
Noah turned to the horny Anton, grabbed his shirt and tore it in one movement. The buttons flew in all directions but the brazen act only turned him on more.
With a quick movement he unzipped both of their pants and got rid of the rest of their clothes.
"I hope you're ready, because I don't intend to end it with you anytime soon" Anton's hoarse, incredibly seductive voice sent shivers down the man's spine…
