    The tapping of blood drops filled the silent dark room, I nced at the body which was tied upside down with the wrists cut down. Looking at the condition of the man, I didn¡¯t feel anything. I didn¡¯t feel bad nor pity, but all I felt was anger. All those horrible things he did rush to my mind, Venessa¡¯s condition was the first thing that hit my mind.


    Enzo and Venessa are both in the hospital, fighting for their lives and who¡¯s responsible for it? This man!


    I red at him while gritting my teeth while anger rose inside me like a raging fire.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    James walked forward while handing me the gun.


    ¡°Are you sure you want to do this, Boss,¡± He asked while ncing at the body,


    ¡°Yes,¡± I replied,


    ¡°Boss¡­ He¡¯s your father¡­¡± that word made my blood boil and I fisted my hands while trying to control my anger.


    ¡°HE¡¯S NOT MY FATHER,¡± I growled while shutting my eyes and clenching my jaw.


    James stepped back while bowing his head to me, hearing Boris¡¯s eyes turn to me. As blood kept flowing down his wrists, he had no energy to even utter a word.


    ¡°Ni-Nik-Niki¡­¡± he whispered,


    ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ do¡­ this¡­ I¡¯m your father,¡± he said with great difficulty,


    ¡°You were never my father and¡­¡± I grabbed his head and pressed the gun to his forehead, ¡°¡­ I¡¯m not your son,¡± I gritted my teeth,


    ¡°You¡¯re nothing but a monster,¡±


    ¡°No¡­¡± he whispered, before he could utter any word, I pulled the trigger. With a loud bang, the bullet went through his head and blood sshed everywhere.


    Fragment.


    Love, What does it give you anyway? Nothing but pain, all those painful memories which hurt you more than any physical pain. All my life I had been craving for my mother¡¯s love which I never got, my father never loved but used me as a puppet to get to my mother, my brother, Enzo left me and cut all his ties with me.


    I fell in love with someone I could never have. I fell in love with my brother¡¯s wife, that brother who I loved more than anything.


    Being rejected by love for my whole life broke my fragile heart, it¡¯s so broken that it has no strength to go through another rejection. I vowed to never let this heart of mine ever beat anyone, I built a huge wall around it and I made it so strong that no one could ever break it no matter what.


    When a good heart breaks, it turns into a stone and it can be extremely dangerous. I intend it to be, I don¡¯t want any woman toe closer to it.


    I never understand what my destiny wants from me. I guess it wants me to turn into the very monster I loathed my whole life, My father, Boris.


    Despite how hard I tried to not be like my father, in the end, I realized I could never be a good man because Boris¡¯s blood runs in my veins.


    I tried desperately but I couldn¡¯t reject the fact that I¡¯m Boris¡¯s son.

    Julianna


    ¡°Julianna¡­¡± I heard my co-worker, Mike, calling me from behind, I turned back and raised my eyebrow at him. I get irritated when someone calls me by my full name, I prefer calling Julia or Julie. Mike knows that and yet loves to irritate me all the time.


    He gestured for me to look in the opposite direction, I turned to the direction he pointed at and my eyes widened when I saw my best friend, Ste, getting out of someone¡¯s car dressed in clothes she doesn¡¯t usually wear. I nced at Mike in surprise and was kind of shocked. I moved my eyes back to Ste and saw her kissing a tall guy.


    Jesus, this girl is unbelievable.


    Ste is my roommate and also my best friend. After college, I made a decision to move out of my parent¡¯s house because of their constant reminding me that I was a mistake and uselesspared to my younger sister, Cara.


    When your own parents don¡¯t have faith in you or consider you a mistake, there¡¯s no point in living with them or even thinking about them. I may not be as beautiful as my sister but I know my worth.


    I was a medium-height woman with hazel eyes and brown hair. My body has good curves even though I don¡¯t have those great model looks that my sister has but I feel I¡¯m good as normal.


    I and Ste both took an apartment near our workce and moved in together. We have been together since 5th grade and were quite inseparable from then. We both began working in small dinners as waitresses while I also find pleasure in teaching ballet dance and dreamed to have my own dance studio.


    Ste loves painting and wants to earn money and have a studio full of her paintings. We had dreams of our own and have been supporting each other since our teenage years. We are both 22, but quite different from each other.


    She¡¯s wild and hopelessly romantic whereas I believe in saving my flower for the right person. She doesn¡¯t care about the aftermath and does things carelessly which I admire a lot in her. I wish I was like that too but I think a lot before doing anything. She¡¯s quite beautiful and confident about herself and I¡¯m not.


    Since getting treated badly by my parents my whole life, I was never that self-confident and often felt low about myself and mainly my appearance. My dating life wasn¡¯t good as well because of myck of self-confidence. I never dated anyone to say anything in the first ce. Ste did try to boost my confidence and pushed me to date any one of those guys who approached me and asked me out but it never really worked out.


    I always fantasized about getting that Epic love we see in movies, that kind of love where you are madly into each other, that rush and instant connection. I dreamed of those silly things even though I knew things like that happen only in movies, not in real life.


    ¡°Ste,¡± I called while walking towards her, she was waving at her new boyfriend while he was driving away. Hearing me, she turned around and nced at me.


    ¡°Julia,¡± She smiled, looking at her face and goofy smile, I immediately understood that she was drunk. She tried to walk towards me but stumbled,


    ¡°Ste!¡± I quickly wrapped my arm around her waist and held her, I nced around making sure no one was watching us, checking if my boss was out or not. If she sees her in this way she would fire her and I¡¯m sure Ste will never want that.


    ¡°Ste¡­¡± I nced at Mike and signalled him toe over, he nodded his head and rushed towards me.


    ¡°Juuls¡­ My bestie¡­ You won¡¯t leave me?¡­ Like everyone else, right?¡± she asked while looking at me,


    ¡°No, I will not leave you,¡± I replied,


    She had a horrible breakupst week and it took a toll on her, her ex-boyfriend Max left her for someone else and she couldn¡¯t handle it.


    ¡°Mike, can you please take care of the boss¡­ I will drop her off and will be back in a few minutes,¡± I said for which he immediately nodded his head.


    ¡°Ste, Let¡¯s go home¡­¡± I held her while leading the way, I was a few inches taller than Ste which helped me to hold her still. We walked in the direction of my apartment which was just twenty minutes away from the workce.


    ¡°How could he do that to me, Juuls,¡± she kept mumbling while I took her to the apartment, I stepped out of the elevator and my eyesnded on Liam, who was stepping out of his apartment.


    God! Why now?


    He had been asking me out for months now, I always gave him some excuses and left him hints that I¡¯m really not interested to date right now but he never gets that and keeps trying. Sometimes it gets on my nerves. Ste always urged me to date him but I wasn¡¯t ready to since I don¡¯t feel this connection or any kind of feelings for him.


    Before I could hide he saw me and a smile appeared on his lips instantly, ¡°Julia,¡± He smiled and his eyes moved to Ste.


    ¡°Is she alright?¡­ Let me help you,¡± He rushed over to me and held Ste,


    ¡°Thanks, Liam,¡± I said and opened the main door.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    We took her to her room and ced her down on her bed. I quickly took her shoes off and pulled the nket over her.


    ¡°Looks like¡­ she¡¯s quite hurt by the breakup,¡± Liam said while looking at her with sympathy.


    ¡°Yeah,¡± I replied,


    Liam has been a good friend and a neighbour, I only had issues with him always asking me out but if I put that aside, He¡¯s a good guy.


    ***


    We headed out of the apartment, leaving her inside sleeping soundly. I locked the door from outside and turned back, Liam was still standing behind me and that made me feel anxious and nervous. I know he would ask me out again, God! Help me.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a walk, shall we?¡± he said,


    ¡°Sure,¡± I replied and we walked towards the elevator,


    As the door closed, the air inside became thick and I could feel the awkward silence between us. I nced at him and smiled awkwardly, he smiled back. We kept smiling at each other awkwardly until the doors opened.


    I quickly stepped outside, ¡°Julia.¡± He called,


    Jesus, here we go again,


    I nced at him, ¡°I want to..¡± as he was about to ask me out, someone from behind called him. We both turned back and saw Mrs. Madison walking towards us.


    ¡°Liam¡­¡± She walked over to him and hugged him, ¡°It¡¯s been so long¡­¡± as she continued and I took the opportunity and rushed from there. I literally ran from there, I know I shouldn¡¯t do this, he¡¯s a good guy but I couldn¡¯t say no to his face.


    ¡°Julia,¡± I could hear him calling from behind but I refused to look back and kept running,


    I quickly took a turn and ran, while looking back, I saw Liam jogging behind me and looking around for me. Since it was a crowded area he couldn¡¯t spot me but he wasing in the direction I was in.


    Jesus!


    As I was looking back while running I ran into a hard wall. I hit my forehead so hard that I stumbled back and lost my bnce. My hands were in the air and my leg was in the air, my half body was going down, ¡°Ahh¡± My eyes moved to the wall and realised It wasn¡¯t a wall rather it was a chest.


    A huge chest, I was still in the air while my eyes moved to his face but before I could see it this person grabbed my arm and pulled me to them. He pulled so hard that, my hair flew back before my body crushed to his hard body and my head hit his hard chest.


    My breathing hitched as I felt the muscles behind his clothes.


    ¡°Julia,¡± Liam¡¯s voice reached my ears and without thinking, I looked around and noticed that there was a narrow dark way between two tall buildings and luckily, we happened to be just beside them. I grabbed this guy¡¯s strong biceps and turned him around in a way that his tall figure blocked me as I hid behind him.


    I peeped and saw Liam looking around while walking in our direction, I gasped and moved back.


    ¡°God! Why can¡¯t he just give up already,¡± I mumbled while ncing at him,


    As I saw him just inches away from where we were, I clutched this guy¡¯s coat tightly and pressed my head to his chest, hiding. I felt him moving his body and hiding me in the darkness, I peeped and saw Liam walking past us.


    I gasped and moved him closer, ¡°God, go away, Liam,¡± I mumbled while shutting my eyes tightly. I just can¡¯t face him, he¡¯s a good and handsome guy. He deserves to be with someone as beautiful as Ste, he doesn¡¯t deserve someone as normal as me.


    I peeped again and saw him walking away and going back, I released the breath I was holding and thanked God for making him go away. My eyes moved to my hands clutching a perfectly tailored ck coat and a gasp left my lips.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry,¡± I apologised while moving back.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t mean to¡­ I¡¯m so sorry¡­ I..¡± My words are stuck in my throat as my eyes meet with those blue orbs. I hadn¡¯t ever realised that blue could be such a hot fire until I saw those blue orbs.


    It took my breath away.

    Julianna¡¯s pov:-


    His eyes were something that mesmerised me, so intense and beautiful. He¡¯s a very attractive man. His face has hard and manly features, his high cheekbones, jawline which is sharper than a knife, firmly smooth and thick dark brown hair, bushy, thick angr eyebrows, sharp nose and those pink defined cupid¡¯s bow lips. Not to mention that beautiful wless skin.


    Fuck!


    He¡¯s a serious piece of art!


    He was tall, so very tall with those broad, muscr shoulders and bulky biceps. He wasn¡¯t all that built up huge man but looked like a sexy hot model. His face was emotionless and his aura was screaming power. He was dressed in a ck suit, which fitted him perfectly.


    This man is devilishly hot and sexy.


    He stared down at my face, his gaze was piercing into my soul. I felt my throat dry as his gaze made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I stepped back while gulping hard. I could feel the tension in the air as he kept gazing at me while I was stepping back awkwardly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I said and my damn voice came out in such low volume that I doubt he heard it.


    What the fuck, get your shit together Julia!


    Say sorry and leave, Don¡¯t fucking embarrass yourself.


    I nced at him and cleared my throat, ¡°I¡±m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to do that¡­ I was just trying to get away from him¡­¡± I said, looking at him, he was listening to me apologising.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± I added,


    ¡°Are you¡­ alright?¡± He asked, his voice was deep, calcted, cool and earth-shattering.


    His question threw me off guard, ¡°Ye-Yeah,¡± I replied while blinking in surprise with a small smile on my face. His blue eyes stared into mine and I felt all bothered as those mesmerizing orbs searched mine, I tried my best to control myself.


    ¡°Thank you¡­ for umm¡­ helping me¡­ hide¡­ earlier,¡± I said awkwardly smiling,


    What¡¯s wrong with you, Julia? My subconscious kept yelling inside my head.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I quickly added and turned around. Without waiting for his reply, I quickly began walking away from him. My heart was beating rapidly against my chest and my breathing was unstable.


    Why is my heart beating so fast? What is this feeling?


    Julia! My subconscious yelled,


    What! I yelled back,


    You¡¯re walking in the wrong direction, She said,


    What? I asked,


    The direction to the work is that way, not this!


    I looked around and realised that I was walking in the opposite, direction, ¡°Fuck!¡± I cursed. I was so eager to run away from this hot-sexy dude that I didn¡¯t notice where I was going. I slowly turned back while cursing at myself. I noticed that a man was still standing there and watching me.


    Jesus, this is so embarrassing! I thought and walked back. I was trying hard not to look at him,


    Why am I this silly?


    My legs kept walking towards him, his eyes following my movements which made me feel nervous inside. As I walked just past him, I gave a small smile and quickly walked away. I could feel his eyes boring into my back as I partially ran away from him.


    ***


    I reached my workce, but my mind was still hazed by those beautiful eyes, they kept shing in front of my eyes. Those emotionless blue orbs and the way they stared at me. I shook my head, trying to get it out of my head as I entered the Dine. Mike was there doing his work, hearing my footsteps. he turned around and nced at me. I smiled at him while walking inside.


    ¡°How is this now?¡± He asked,


    ¡°She¡¯s resting,¡± I replied while tying my hair up and putting on the gloves.


    ¡°By the way, I forgot to tell you, Liam came by¡­ asking for you!¡± he said,


    ¡°Oh god!¡± I groaned,


    ¡°He¡¯s quite determined to date you¡­ ¡± he chuckled while ncing at me, I rolled my eyes at him and shook my head.


    This guy can never understand anything.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t he just give up already,¡± he added, ¡°You keep running away from him and give excuses and yet¡­ dude never gets it!¡±


    I felt a tinge of guilt as Mike said that I don¡¯t want to hurt his feelings, but I really don¡¯t want to date him. I don¡¯t have any feelings towards him, I really don¡¯t understand how to tell him this.


    He¡¯s a good guy and helped me many times. I have to sit down with him and tell him clearly why I can¡¯t date him. He at least deserves to know about it.


    ***


    After work, I took my things headed out of the Dine and made my way to my apartment. Mike and I were thest members walking out,


    ¡°Bye,¡± I said while waving at him,


    ¡°Bye,¡± he said while walking in the opposite direction, I turned back and began walking away. It was pitch ck outside, there wasn¡¯t a single person in sight. The cold night breeze and quiet streets of San Francisco were really making me calm, my mind was nk with no thoughts.


    I pulled my hands around me and continued to walk, a sigh left my lips as Ste¡¯s condition rushed to my mind. I wish she gets back to her normal self, it worries me looking at her drinking all the time and crying over and over again. She¡¯s a strong woman and watching her breaking down this way was really upsetting.


    All of a sudden, I heard footsteps behind me. I stopped, and my heart began to beat rapidly as I felt someone¡¯s gaze on me. I slowly turned back and saw no one behind me. I looked around and panic surged inside me as I saw no one there.


    I could still feel someone watching me, I quickly turned around and began walking faster. My heart was pounding inside my chest, and adrenaline pumped through as I felt someone walking behind me.


    My legs began to move faster and anxiety arose inside me, suddenly arge handnded on my shoulder and a loud scream escaped my lips.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.

    A scream escaped my lips and my hands moved to my handbag. My fingers quickly grasped the pepper spray and turned back, I moved my hand up and sprayed it right at his face. As the spray hit his face, he stepped back and tried to cover his face.


    ¡°GO AWAY¡­¡± I yelled,


    He tried to grab my hand, but I quickly moved back, ¡°DIE! DIE! DIE!¡± I screamed, spraying right at the person¡¯s face while closing my eyes tightly,


    ¡°Woman!¡­ Stop!¡± I heard a familiar deep voice yelling at me, his tone harsh and daunting.


    ¡°Jesus! My eyes,¡± He groaned,


    I nced at him and saw the guy groaning in pain while turning away from me and covering his eyes, ¡°God!¡¯ He cried again while rubbing his eyes. My eyes moved to his clothes,


    Why do these clothes and this body look familiar? I thought and I noticed my mobile phone in his hands.


    Oh, fuck!


    Was he trying to hand me my phone back?


    Jesus Christ!


    What have I done?


    ¡°You dropped this back there¡­¡± he handed my phone back while turning his face to me, rubbing his eyes and blinking rapidly to prevent the difort. Suddenly recognition hit me,


    Him? It was the same guy I met earlier while running away from Liam.


    That hot stranger! My eyes widened in shock and regret washed over me and I stepped forward to help,


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry¡­¡± I apologised while taking my phone back and quickly slipped it into my handbag,


    ¡°I¡¯m extremely sorry¡­¡± I quickly pulled the water bottle out of my bag,


    ¡°Here¡­ Take this,¡± Opening the cap of it, I handed it over to him. He took the bottle and began washing his face and groaning in pain. I stood there watching him, I felt great regret and guilt for making him suffer this way.


    Why am I so stupid? I could have looked at the person before spraying it right at his face. I kept cursing myself for being so dumb and hurting the person who helped me earlier. I attempted to help him, but he stopped me by gesturing for me to stop.


    ¡°Boss,¡± I heard male voicesing from behind and footsteps as well, I turned back and saw three men, dressed in ck suits jogging over to us.


    ¡°Boss, Are you okay?¡± One of them asked,


    ¡°Yeah,¡± Hot stranger replied,


    He handed my now empty bottle back to me and turned to them, and one of those men handed him a handkerchief to clean. He took it and cleaned his eyes and face. I watched him while feeling extremely bad and guilty.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry¡­ I didn¡¯t mea¡­¡± I apologised again but my words stuck in my throat as suddenly he turned his head to me at such a speed that I feared his neck could have broken, his blue orbs red at me sending a chill down my spine. I stepped back in fear as I noticed the rage his now red eyes held.


    I gulped hard in panic as he looked terrifying, never have I ever been subjected to such an intense and nerve-cracking re. I felt like my whole body was drained of blood and my legs were rooted to the spot. His cold lethal re reflected rage, his jaw clenched, his expression dark and intimidating. Finding his gaze unnerving I quickly lowered my gaze.


    His re is unbearable if only this ground could open up and swallow me whole; otherwise, I¡¯m sure I will faint at any minute.


    I nced at him while lowering my head, ¡°I-I¡¯m So-Sorry,¡± I apologised while stepping back. Without saying a word, he turned back and strolled away from me. I peeped at him and noticed him marching to the car parked a few meters away from where I was standing. Those bodyguards were following him like pets as he swaggered towards his car without a care in the world.


    I released a breath I was holding and hit my head for my stupidity, ¡°Stupid, Julia,¡±


    ***


    By the time I walked into my apartment, it was toote and all the lights were off. I ced the bag on the couch and headed to Ste¡¯s room. The room was quiet and I could see her sleeping soundly on her bed.


    I pulled the nket over her body, Dear Lord, please help her get through this! Please. I can¡¯t see her like this, crying over him and destroying her life. She has to move on from him and focus on her life now, I have to help her get through this.


    I ced a kiss on her forehead and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me. As I stepped out of her room, My stomach growled for food. I made my way to the kitchen and began cooking my dinner.


    As the aroma of food filled the kitchen, I heard footstepsing from the living room. I nced back and saw Ste walking to the dining table. I took two tes and served her hot Spaghettini Chicken. This was the exact copy I made from the restaurant I atest time with soupy sauce, not so thick.


    It looked yummy and smelled delicious.


    I ced it in front of Ste and sat beside her. She took a deep inhale, and her eyes lit up, ¡°This smells amazing, Juuls,¡± she said while picking up the fork. I watched her taste it and her expressions made it clear that she loved it.


    ¡°Ohhhh!¡± She moaned in delight as she chewed the dish,


    ¡°You have magic in your hands, Juuls,¡± Shemented,


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I smiled and we began having dinner. I kept ncing at her throughout the dinner and took note of her refreshed mood. I felt happy and relieved seeing her enjoying the food. I hope she will continue to be this way.


    Suddenly, the front door burst open, making us jump from the chairs. We nced at each other in confusion and fear. I could hear footsteps in the living room and I gestured for Ste toe over to me, she nodded her head and strolled to me. We hid behind the dining table and peeped through it.


    Someone broke into our apartment!


    I stayed as calm as possible, but I was extremely scared inside and nced at my bag which wasying on the couch. I need to get that bag and call the cops. My phone and also my pepper spray is inside it. I turned to Ste,


    ¡°Where is your phone?¡± I whispered,


    ¡°In my room,¡± She replied,


    ¡°Jesus!¡± I muttered and looked around for something. I need to get up to go to the kitchen and it will grab the attention of the intruder. My heart skipped a beat when I heard multiple footstepsing towards us.


    I anxiously scanned my surroundings for something which I could use. As I heard the footsteps just an inch away from us, I grabbed the fork from my te mindful of not making any noise and swung it at the intruder.


    My wrist was in the air and fork was about to hit him, but he grabbed my hand and stopped my hand in mid-air. The fork was just inches away from this huge guy¡¯s neck. My breathing hitched in my throat as I noticed this guy ring at me. His grip on my wrist was tight and was hurting me.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Let go of me,¡± I yelled while trying to pull my hand off his hold, he ignored me and nced at the guy standing beside him. I noticed they were four of these men, dressed in ck suits and faces covered with masks. Only their eyes were visible to us.


    That tall guy nodded his head and strolled towards Ste, my eyes moved to Ste, who was staring at the guy with fear and stepped back from him.


    ¡°Hey! Leave me, You bastard!¡± She yelled at him, but he ignored her yells and grabbed both her hands and injected her with something.


    ¡°Ste!¡± I kept calling her as she was losing consciousness, he bent down and threw her over his shoulders.


    ¡°Leave me!!¡± I yelled at the guy holding me, beating and kicking him, but he was taller and stronger than me which gave him an advantage. He easily took hold of me and injected me as well. I kept yelling and punching him until I lost consciousness.

    When there is a loss of sight other senses in a person are enhanced.


    My body felt numb and as I opened my eyes all I saw was darkness. There was only cold and then fear, I felt something covering my eyes and then the realization hit me. Panic washed over me as the fragments of what happened rushed to my mind.


    I was sitting on a hard surface, possibly a chair. My hands were tied to the back and there was tape on my mouth. I wanted to yell and scream at those fucking bastards for breaking into our apartment. I struggled for a few minutes trying to get my hands free from those ropes but all in vain.


    My mind wandered back to Ste, I wanted to know if she was alright. Where is she? What did they do to her? A wave of confusion passed through my mind as I had so many questions running in my head.


    Who are they? Why did they break into our apartment? And where the hell am I?


    I swear I¡¯m going to hit the guy¡¯s face for kidnapping us, Asshole! Whoever you are! Die and rot in hell! You fucking Bastard! I kept cursing him in my head while wigging and trying to get off these ropes.


    As I kept wiggling out of the ropes, I guess the sound of the chair constantly moving must have grabbed the attention of someone because the tape on my lips was pulled roughly along with the blindfolds and a loud scream escaped from my lips.


    ¡°Shut the fuck up,¡± A bulky man with a huge tattoo over his neck roared at me, I red at him while clenching my jaw.


    ¡°Untie me,¡± I said while gritting my teeth,


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t do that!¡± he refused and stepped back,


    ¡°Untie me right now,¡± I yelled at him while pulling my wrists but the ropes were so tight that every time I moved my hand they rubbed against my skin causing me pain and irritation.


    ¡°Let me go!¡± I screamed at him,


    ¡°Shut up!¡± His fist connected my jaw and the impact had my head jerk to the side. Stars began to appear in front of my eyes as I sensed the dosage of whatever they used on me earlier was still effective.


    I groaned in pain while blinking to clear my vision, I could feel the red liquid running down my mouth. I turned my head and red at him, he grabbed my chin roughly, pulling my face closer to his with a menacing look on his face.


    ¡°Fuck you,¡± I scowled at him,


    ¡°Stay quiet,¡± he ordered while gripping my jaw tightly. Before I could respond to him he pushed my head back and turned around, walking out of the room. I kept ring at the closed door for a good ten minutes, pissed at being held this way.


    Where on earth am I? I thought while looking around and noticed that I was in some kind of small room with no window and the only light wasing from the small venttor which had a fan. It was a dark, cold, and empty room.


    Jesus, How the hell am I going to get out of this fucking room?


    ***


    After pounding my head for any possible ideas to get out of this room, I breathed out and tried to calm myself down. I should be patient and thoughtful in situations like this, panicking won¡¯t help, a slight mistake can lead me to trouble. I was confused and curious to know why they kidnapped us. And Who are they?


    I guess I need to wait for my answers,


    Suddenly the door of the room was opened and two bulky men dressed in ck suits walked inside along with the guy who punched me earlier. I stared at them in confusion, although they looked scary I tried my best not to let them intimidate me.


    ¡°Who the hell are you people?¡± I shouted,


    ¡°What am I do-¡± Before I could finish my sentence one of those men grabbed a ck cloth and tied it to my eyes.


    ¡°Hey!¡± I yelled while trying to move my head away,


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± I shrieked at him. Darkness enveloped me once again, I felt them removing the ropes around my waist and grabbing my arms, pulling me onto my feet.


    ¡°Where the fuck are you taking me?¡± I yelled as they began dragging me, I could feel two men holding either side of my arms. I tried hard to stop but those men were stronger than me and it was easy for them to drag me with them for God knows where.


    I kept yelling and fighting to get away from them. Suddenly we stopped walking and there wasplete silence around me. It was scaring the hell out of me; my heart was pounding against my ribcage and my legs were slightly shaking.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    Someone abruptly ripped the blinds off my eyes and bright light made me shut my eyes, it took a few seconds for me to adjust my vision and look around. I was standing in some kind of office or study room.


    There was a desk ced in the middle of the room with an L-shaped turquoise couch right in front of it. One corner of the room was filled with wooden shelves embedded within the walls which ran a few meters above the wooden carpeted ground. The shelves were squared around all the bright beige engraved walls of the room, leaving one ce in the middle for the firece.


    Whoever this ce belongs to must be rich! I thought while looking around the luxurious study room. The doors of the study were suddenly mmed open grabbing my attention. A tall man, dressed in a ck shirt with sleeves rolled up to his forearms, showing off his strong arms with nerves popping out.


    His head was high, eyes focused on the centre of the room as he glided in confidently. His stance screamed power while his eyes begged carnage. The men straightened as he walked past them, their eyes showed fear and respect for him. I was rooted in my spot as I stared at him in panic and disbelief.


    I gulped hard and the blood drained from my face as I stared at him, Those blue eyes mesmerised me once but now, I was terrified to meet them. Did he kidnap me for spraying pepper spray on his face? I did apologise for that! Was he this mad at me that he decided to abduct me?


    Jesus! Is he going torture me to death like they do in books? Simrly taking revenge on me! For pepper sparing at him?


    I was scared as mother fucking shit!


    He sat in the chair and time seemed to freeze as our eyes met. My breathing hitched as his intense gaze fell on me, his eyes held nothing. Suddenly, the door opened and I heard Ste¡¯s voice along with multiple footsteps.


    I turned back and saw men dressed in simr ck suits dragging Ste inside the room, she had blindfolds on and tears were streaming down her eyes. Unlike me, she wasn¡¯t screaming at them but crying and begging them to leave her.


    One of those men pulled the blindfolds on her eyes and stepped back ncing at the person sitting at the desk. Ste nced at me and rushed towards me,


    ¡°Are you alright?¡± I asked, She nodded her head. I nced at him, his blue eyes were staring right at mine, piercing right into my soul which made me feel nervous with a little courage in me I opened my mouth but the way his piercing blue eyes were staring at me made it hard for me to even utter a word.


    ¡°I-I sai-said I¡¯m sorry fo-for what happenedst night¡­ if-if you want¡­ I will apologise again but please let us go,¡± I pleaded but his face was void of any emotions or anything. I nced at Ste and back at him.


    ¡°At least let Ste go¡­ she has nothing to do with this¡­¡± I asked but he didn¡¯t respond and kept staring. As the minutes passed, the silence was suffocating me and the tension in the room was increasing.


    ¡°Noone¡¯s going anywhere!¡± He dered as an evil look crossed his face.


    Holy shit! I¡¯m screwed.


    I¡¯m in deep shit.

    Author¡¯s Pov:-


    24 hours back, San Francisco.


    ¡°I¡¯m extremely happy for your help, Niki,¡± The American mob boss said with a beaming face. He had been requesting the Russian don a hand in tackling the Irish mafia for months. There has been a conflict happening between these two mafia groups for a decade.


    ¡°Christopher, I only epted your request because of the help you offered in the past¡­ in Boris¡¯s case,¡± Niki said,


    Everyone sitting around the oval-shaped conference table was watching Niki with respect and a hint of fear in their eyes. Niki is one of the most feared and respected dons in the underworld mafia. He¡¯s known to keep his promises and also the bloodshed he creates if someone stands against him.


    ¡°One thing I want to make it clear to you all¡­¡± he said while ncing at everyone, ¡°Since everything is settled down¡­ My people must not be involved in any of your matters¡­ if you need help with anything¡­ Inform me!¡± He said in a serious tone and a quite dangerous look on his face.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be more than happy to help¡­ only if It¡¯s a serious matter but¡­ if I find any of my men being involved in your matters without my consent! I will have to forget about our friendships,¡± he dered.


    The air in the room suddenly changed into serious and pin drop silence enveloped the board room. The warning behind his words was clear to everyone. No one would ever dare to go against the Russian don, knowing what he¡¯s capable of. This man shows no mercy who hurt his people and every single person in the mafia knows his cruelty is worse than dying.


    ¡°One more thing, the shipments will no longer be sent to my mansion¡­ I don¡¯t want to put my men in danger because of it¡­ it must be sent to the warehouse instead,¡± He ordered while getting up from the chair.


    Christopher nodded his head at him with a small smile, ¡°As promised, money will be sent to you tomorrow¡­¡± Christopher shook his hand with Niki, ¡°My men will deliver the shipments along with the money!¡± he added.


    Niki nodded his head and headed towards the exit, ¡°Actually, why are we even negotiating with him¡­ he¡¯s just returning the favour back,¡± Niki stopped as Christopher¡¯s son, Killian¡¯s words reached his ears.


    ¡°And about involving your men¡­ Please¡­ we have enough men to handle our situations¡­¡±


    Niki turned his head back and nced at Killian. The 22 years old man, Killian, sat in the chair with his right leg over his left while everyone in the room stood up in respect to Niki.


    ¡°He¡¯s a kid! Ignore him!¡± n Cooper, the Right hand of Niki, whispered into his ear.


    Christopher kept signalling his son to shut up but Killian ignored his father¡¯s warning and went on.


    ¡°Actually, why don¡¯t you do us a favour¡­ Why don¡¯t you send that woman¡­ What¡¯s her name¡­ Ah! Penelope¡­ I heard she¡¯s good with hacking and other stuff!¡­ You know what I mean!¡± he said with a smirk ying at the corner of his lips.


    ¡°I might teach her¡­ those..¡± his words stuck in his throat as Niki marched towards him, grabbed his cor, and lifted him up in the air. His toes were barely touching the floor. Niki mmed his upper body onto the conference table, everything on the table stumbled and fell on the floor.


    Killian stared at the barrel of Niki¡¯s gun pointing at his forehead, fear was evident in his eyes as he gulped hard and shivered in terror. Niki clenched his jaw in pure rage, Gripping his gun tightly.


    Penelope is like a sister to Niki and he will not tolerate it if anyone insults or badmouths her.


    He pressed the barrier into Killian¡¯s forehead while gritting his teeth and ring at him, ¡°Five seconds¡­¡± he said, ring at him. Killian stared at him with fear and confusion.


    ¡°You have five seconds to apologise¡­ Or else¡­ No one can stop me from pulling this trigger,¡± He dered,


    Christopher immediately rushed towards Killian, ¡°Apologise!¡± He ordered Killian with a hint of fear and urgency to save his son from the Russian don. Killian nced at his father and stared at him in disbelief.


    ¡°Apologise! RIGHT NOW!¡± Christopher yelled at Killian,


    He nced at his father and noticed the fear in his eyes. Killian never saw his father so desperate and sacred. It didn¡¯t take a second for him to realise how dangerous this man is. Looking at his father scared to death.


    ¡°I-I¡¯m so-sorry!¡± Killian immediately apologised to Niki,


    ¡°I¡¯m really very sorry, I take my words back¡­ forgive me! Please forgive me!¡± He begged while shutting his eyes with fear.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Niki, Forgive my son! Please! He doesn¡¯t know how to talk to elders! Forgive him!¡± Christopher apologised and almost begged to forgive his son. Niki nced at Christopher and only because of his good deeds, Niki let go of his son and stepped back.


    He tried to control his anger and nced at Killian, who stood beside his father with his head down. Niki¡¯s eyes moved to Christopher who had an apologetic look on his face and was clearly ashamed of his son.


    Niki¡¯s rage wasn¡¯t something that could be gone in j


    Without saying a word, Niki turned on his heels and marched out of the meeting room. Darwin, n, and Cole marched behind Niki, equally angry at them. Darwin nced at Niki and took a note of how angry he was.


    ¡°I think you need to go for a walk to calm yourself down,¡± He suggested, while stopping in front of their car. Niki nced at Darwin and shook his head, ¡°I need to head back to Nob hill,¡± he said.


    ¡°We can go attend the meeting there!¡± n added, ¡°However it¡¯s just about the supplies, we can check it for you!¡± n said while ncing at Darwin. Niki nced at both and sighed, ¡°Fine! I really need to calm myself.¡±


    He strolled in the opposite direction as n, Darwin and Cole drove away. A cup of coffee would be the best option right now, He thought and headed over to a cafe nearby. His mood has beenpletely ruined because of Killian and hisments.

 7

    After peacefully having a cup of coffee, he decided to take a walk to a nearby neighbourhood. His eyes were watching the busy streets with people walking around and children¡¯sughter as they kept ying at the park. Being a mobster is not an easy job and it¡¯s quite a dangerous lifestyle. Niki always wanted to have a family of his own but he realised he could never have one.


    As he stood there, across the road watching a 5-year-old boy ying with his mom, his childhood rushed to his mind. He always wanted to be close to his mother and craved her attention which he never got because of his father.


    He has always been envious of Enzo for getting love and attention from his mother. No matter how hard he tried to meet his mother, Boris would do something that would ruin his ns.


    All of a sudden, someone ran straight into him making him stumble a step back. His eyesnded on the medium-height woman, her brown hair was all over her face and her hands were in the air. His instincts kicked in and he quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him before she could fall down.


    Her tiny head hit his huge chest and her long fingers clenched his coat tightly, he felt her sharp intake. He tried to look at her face with great curiosity but before he could see her face she grabbed his biceps and turned him around.


    What is this woman doing? He thought while staring down at her in confusion. He watched her curiously as she peeped through him and a gasp left her lips, she quickly hid between his tall figure and wall.


    ¡°God! Why can he just give up already,¡± he heard her mutter while ncing at someone behind him. He nced back curiously and saw a guy searching for someone, looking around and cursing under his breath. Niki then realised that this woman was hiding from him and decided to cover her.


    He noticed her clutching his coat tightly and pressing her forehead to his chest, hiding from the guy. He watched her peep again and mumbled something under her breath while shutting her eyes tightly.


    She looked like a kitten to him and unknowingly a small smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he watched her. As she released a breath of relief and suddenly she pulled her hands off his coat while stepping back.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry,¡± She apologised while staring at his coat and stepping back,


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t mean to¡­ I¡¯m so sorry¡­ I¡­¡± she looked up at him and as his eyes met her hazel eyes something in him clicked. She had those brown and gold flecks which were both the sunlit branches and the soft moss that covered the hazel tree.


    Her perfect brows, beautiful eyes, small straight nose, pink bow-shaped lips, and her spotless fair skin.


    Average but beautiful!


    He has seen more beautiful women but something in her eyes clenched his heart and he didn¡¯t understand why he felt like that. As she stared at his eyes, his heart began to pound rapidly against his ribcage which was strange to him. The sensations he felt were foreign to him.


    He was confused and curious, why does his heart beat this way! Why do I feel bothered?


    He stared at her, trying to search for something in her eyes, something which could answer his questions.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± she said in her low, timid voice.


    Niki watched her curiously as she cleared her throat, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to do that¡­ I was just trying to get away from him,¡± she said, looking at him. The nervousness in her tone didn¡¯t go unnoticed by Niki and strangely he felt slightly worried for her.


    Before he could understand why? ¡°Are you¡­ Alright?¡± he asked,


    ¡°Ye-Yeah!¡± she replied while blinking her eyes in surprise,


    ¡°Thank you¡­ for umm¡­ helping me¡­ hide¡­ earlier¡­,¡± she said while smiling at him awkwardly.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± She added and walked away from him but his eyes followed her.


    Who is this woman? And who was she running from? Questions kept running in his head as he watched her turn back and walked past him. He stood there until she disappeared from his sight.


    Suddenly his phone began ringing, he quickly pulled it out and answered, ¡°Hello,¡±


    ¡°Boss, Cole ising over to pick you up¡­ We need to visit the club!¡± Darwin said,


    ¡°Okay,¡± he replied and hung up. As he was about to turn, his eyes caught a phoneying on the ground.


    She must have dropped it in a hurry! He thought while bending down and taking it. The screen of the phone turned on and a picture of Julianna and Ste shed on the lock screen, they both were smiling at the camera looking happy.


    ***


    Since in the lock screen wallpaper both Ste and Julianna were wearing the name tags, it made it easy for Niki to reach Juliana. After work, he asked Cole to drive to the dine, but before they could reach Julianna, the Dine was closed.


    Luckily Cole got the additional information about Juliana like where she lives to make it easy for his boss. While driving to her apartment, Niki saw her walking alone to her house and stopped the car.


    He walked up to her but she mistaken him as some kidnapper and threw pepper spray on his face. This made Niki furious, no one ever dared to touch him but this woman not only pepper sprayed at him but also yelled at him to die, not once but thrice.


    He scolded himself for trying to help her, he should have left the phone there and mind his own business.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Women never appreciate help, this is expected to happen, he thought while turning back and climbing into his car.


    But what Niki didn¡¯t expect is finding her in his mansion along with her best friend.

    Next Day.


    Coming back to his Ind, As Cole stopped the car in front of the huge mansion, Niki got out of it and walked straight to the main door. His pissed off face was enough for people to back off and not step in his way, Cole stared at his boss while getting out of the car.


    He never saw Niki this pissed off and irritated ever.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Niki strolled straight to his study room and shut the door behind, that woman ruined his mood. He sat on his recliner, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself. Niki never met someone like that ever in his entire life, the way she screamed at him to die was something very new to him.


    Women always screamed for his attention but she¡¯s screaming at him to die. It kept shing in front of his eyes and annoyed him more and more.


    Stop it, stop thinking about it, he yelled at his subconscious and quickly opened theptop in front of him. He began working while trying to push whatever happened earlier from his mind.


    ***


    His phone began to ring, pulling his attention from theptop. He grabbed the phone and answered the call.


    ¡°Hello,¡± he spoke,


    ¡°Boss,¡± Cole replied from the other side,


    ¡°What is it, Cole?¡± Niki asked while staring at theptop screen,


    ¡°Boss, Christopher has sent you a gift,¡± Cole said,


    ¡°Gift? I don¡¯t want any kind of gift from him, Send it back!¡± Niki was irritated at Christopher¡¯s attempt to make Niki his alley again. Since his son tried to disrespect Niki, Christopher is trying to make Niki forget about it. Niki knows this and is quite annoyed.


    ¡°Boss, I think you shoulde and have a look first,¡± Cole suggested politely,


    ¡°I¡¯m not interested, send it back,¡± Niki ordered and hung up the phone. As soon as he cut the call, there was a knock on the door.


    ¡°Come in,¡± he said while ncing at the door,


    Flora walked inside with a warm smile on her face with a trolley filled with lunch for him, ¡°Sorry for disturbing you, But Lunch is important.¡± She said while cing everything on the coffee table.


    Niki sighed and shut theptop; he couldn¡¯t argue with her. He walked towards her and ced a sweet kiss on her cheek while sitting on the couch. She smiled at him while cing the dishes and serving him.


    ¡°You look tired, is everything alright?¡± she asked with concern in her tone,


    ¡°Yeah, everything is fine¡­ it¡¯s just work,¡± Niki replied.


    As Niki began having his lunch, n pushed the door open and walked straight towards Niki.


    ncing at n, Flora said, ¡°Whatever it is can wait until he finishes his lunch,¡±


    ¡®Okay,¡± n said and waited until Niki finished his lunch. Flora began putting everything back in the trolley.


    ¡°You can continue, I will leave you both,¡± she said and walked out of the room.


    Niki walked back to his desk and sat down,


    ¡°I think you should just ept the gift he sent,¡± n suggested while sitting in front of Niki,


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you will love it if you see it!¡± n said with a smile on his face. Looking at his face, Niki grew curious and got up from the chair.


    ¡°Fine,¡± He muttered under his breath and strolled out of the study. n followed him closely with a small smirk at the corner of his lips. Cole led Niki to the ce the gift was kept, Niki followed him in confusion as to why Cole was talking to the empty rooms in the basement.


    He stopped in front of the closed wooden door and stepped back; Niki nced at Cole in confusion. Niki pushed the door and strolled inside, Cole and n followed him inside while sharing a look of excitement.


    As Niki¡¯s eyes stared at the woman tied to the chair, unconscious, his jaw clenched in pure anger. His fisted his hands and red at the unconscious person,


    ¡°What the hell is she doing here?¡± He gritted his teeth, turning his deadly re towards Cole.


    ¡°Christopher¡¯s gift!¡± Cole said while pointing his hands towards her,


    ¡°Here¡­it has her details,¡± He handed over the file,


    ¡°It was sent with her¡­ also by Christopher,¡± he added, hiding the smile from Niki¡¯s deadly re.


    ¡°Actually, he sent two girls, the other one is kept in another room,¡± n said,


    ¡°Fuck this!¡± he cursed while turning around and walking out of the room.


    Christopher!


    Niki strolled to his room and paced back and forth in anger and irritation, ¡°Here boss,¡± Cole handed the phone to Niki,


    ¡°I hope you like the gift, my friend,¡± Christopher spoke,


    ¡°What the hell is this?¡± Niki asked while controlling his temper badly,


    ¡°Well, my men saw you talking with that woman and by the look of it¡­ clearly she¡¯s your girlfriend¡­ I don¡¯t know why you both are living away from each other¡­ So, I thought why not send her to you,¡± Christopher said from the other side,


    What? Is this man stupid? How the heck did he be the mafia don?


    ¡°I just want to help you¡­ I¡¯m truly sorry for my son¡¯s behaviour,¡± he said, his tone clearly making Niki understand his intention behind this action.


    He took a deep breath and tried hard to control himself, everything is pissing him offtely. He used to be this calm in every situation after he met this woman. Every single thing is pissing him off and making him angry.


    ¡°Christopher, I appreciate your efforts but¡­¡± As he was trying to tell him that he didn¡¯t want this woman and he had misunderstood everything, n gestured to him not to do it.


    Confused, Niki stopped in mid-sentence, n gestured to him not to tell him that she is not his girlfriend.


    Niki gestured, why?


    n gestured, I will tell youter, After the call.


    Niki sighed while rolling his eyes, ¡°Niki? Are you there?¡± Christopher asked,


    ¡°Yeah, I really appreciate your gift¡­ I¡¯m a bit busy, I¡¯ll talk to youter,¡± he said,


    ¡°Okay, no problem,¡± Christopher replied and hung up the call. Niki gave the phone back to Cole and turned towards n.


    ¡°What were you saying?¡± He asked,


    ¡°Let him think she¡¯s your girlfriend,¡± n said,


    ¡°What? But why?¡± Niki asked in confusion and also irritation at the mention of her as his girlfriend.


    ¡°Since she insulted you and screamed at you to die, not once but thrice¡­¡± n reminded everyone that they had learned what happened between these two and were quite impressed by Julianna.


    Cole and n said this to every single person in the mansion, Penelope and Flora were quite impressed and excited to meet her. No one ever dared to stand up to Niki and Cole has told them that he saw the tension between these two.


    Flora and others were worried for Niki since he shut himself offpletely after Venessa left him. He never let any womane close to him after her, he calls those whores who are eager to fulfil his sexual desire and never leaves to stay for a second after that.


    They are hoping she could help him and nned to let her stay here at any cost.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you take revenge on her¡­¡± n suggested,


    ¡°What¡¯s the point in that? She apologised for it and she didn¡¯t do it intentionally¡­ it was an ident,¡± he said although he was angry at her action but chose too not to be so stupid.


    ¡°But boss if we send her back, I¡¯m sure Christopher will think you didn¡¯t forgive his son and this can actually lead into big fuss¡­ and not to forget Christopher is one of our good alleys¡­ he helped us in many situations,¡± Cole advised,


    He¡¯s right! I can¡¯t let any conflicts in between us, He did help us a lot, Niki thought for a sec,


    But I cannot let this woman stay in my house,


    Nope, not at all, Niki¡¯s huge ego refused.


    Cole and n noticed him thinking deeply and decided to add few more words,


    ¡°Also, Christopher has his two men staying in our house,¡± Cole added,


    ¡°Oh, Yes, what if they inform him about you sending her off,¡± n said while looking at Niki,


    ¡°We cannot let this small thing ruin everything,¡± n added while cing his hand on Niki¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Fine, don¡¯t send her back, ¡± Niki shut them both in an extremely annoyed tone,


    ¡°Bring them both to my study right now,¡± He ordered,


    Cole and n nced at each other, sharing a look of victory, they rushed out of the room leaving Niki alone.


    Why not I enjoy making her suffer for throwing that stupid pepper spray on my face, Niki smirked this evil thought rushed through his mind.


    ***


    He walked back to his study with an extremely serious look on his face, from the corner of his eyes he noticed Julianna looking at him in pure surprise and disbelief which made him smirk internally for some odd reason.


    He stood in front of her and enjoyed the way she felt scared to maintain eye contact. He noticed her nervousness and her struggle to say something.


    ¡°I-I sai-said I¡¯m sorry fo-for what happenedst night¡­ if-if you want¡­ I will apologise again but please let us go,¡± she said which made him want tough at her face,


    So, she thinks I kidnapped her for pepper-spraying at me?


    God! Seriously!


    How stupid can she be? He thought while watching her struggle.


    ¡°At least let Ste go¡­ she has nothing to do with this¡­¡± she pleaded and this made him nce at Ste.


    Who is this woman? And What am I going to do with her!


    Should I send her back?


    Sending any one of these women would create unnecessary issues, Ste can go to the police and Christopher will know about it.


    Fuck it, let n take care of her, he thought.


    And you, Julianna Mitchel, I¡¯m going to have fun ying with you.


    Niki couldn¡¯t control his evil thoughts, ¡°No one¡¯s going anywhere!¡± he dered.

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-     I stared at him in disbelief, ¡°but I did apologise to you¡­ it was an ident, I didn¡¯t know it was you!¡± I exined desperately, but the look on his face didn¡¯t change. He nced at someone behind me and abruptly they grabbed my both arms and pulled us out of the room ignoring our screams.     They locked us both in two different rooms, the one they put me in was big and had a huge bed ced in the middle of the room. There was a big window at the corner of the room covered with grey curtains.


    I rushed to the window and pushed the curtains aside but I was disappointed as I saw the window has huge and hard grills. I tried to pull them but damn they were so hard that it¡¯s impossible to remove them. Even if I remove them I could never jump from a window this high from the ground without getting badly hurt.


    What the hell!


    I was pacing back and forth with rising anger inside me, I was pissed at this guy. I apologized to him for doing that yet he kidnapped me.


    How dare he? Asshole!


    I couldn¡¯t control my anger and a loud groan escaped my lips as I punched the air, I couldn¡¯t understand what he wanted from me. Why can¡¯t he let me go? Son of a bitch!


    I nced back at the closed door and gritted my teeth in pure anger, no! you can¡¯t give up, Julia! m that door until he let you go, I told myself and strolled towards the door. I fisted my palm and began mming the door hard.


    ¡°Let me out!¡± I kept screaming at the top of my lungs until my throat hurts but no one bothered to respond. It was as if I was shouting at the wall.


    ¡°OPEN UP!¡± I screamed onest time and kicked the door in frustration and anger.


    ¡°What the hell!¡± Pushing my hair back I groaned in irritation. I had been mming the door non-stop and yet no one opened it which made me even angrier. I have to get the hell out of here, No giving up.


    I took a deep breath and began to m the door again, ¡°OPEN THE DAMN DOOR BASTARDS!¡± I screamed while kicking the door and punching it hard.


    ¡°Let me go!¡± I kept kicking the wooden door but no response, feeling exhausted I sat down, pressing my palms on the floor while throwing my head back and staring at the ceiling. I kept breathing hard with my mouth open,


    ¡°Let me out!¡± I said onest time, I let out a sigh of frustration and exhaustion. My throat was sore and I wanted to drink water. I looked around for water, feeling extremely thirsty and my eyesnded on a mug filled with water on the nightstand.


    Son of a bitch! You just can¡¯t lock me up in here!


    I walked to the nightstand, gulped the water down and strolled back to the door while wiping my lips with the back of my hand. I was quite determined to get the hell out of here, I will break the door down if I want but I will not give up.


    I mmed my fists on the door, ¡°HEY! OPEN THE DOOR!¡± I screamed continuously.


    ***


    ¡°I¡¯LL BURN DOWN THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW¡­ LET ME OUT!¡± I screamed while kicking the door non-stop. I had been screaming my lungs out, threatening them but there¡¯s no fucking response at all.


    ¡°LET! ME! OUT!¡± I continued to kick the door harder. Suddenly someone from outside mmed the door open making me yelp in surprise and stumble back. I fell t on the floor, hitting my butt hard.


    Fuck! That hurts! I thought and nced at the person. He stood there, with an annoyed look on his face. I red at him while getting up and controlling the urge to rub my butt.


    ¡°Finally, you decided to grace me with your presence?¡± I defied,


    ¡°Thank you!¡± I added with a mocking smile on my face. I noticed his clenched jaw and irritated expression on his face.


    ¡°What¡¯s your problem!¡± He asked while pushing his hands into his pockets,


    ¡°My problem? Why don¡¯t you tell me what¡¯s your problem! Huh!¡± I asked while folding my hands,


    ¡°Why can¡¯t you let me go! Will you tell me why I am being held here?¡± I urged, seriously confused.


    He tried to open his mouth but I put my hand up to stop, ¡°Please don¡¯t tell me because I pepper sprayed you!¡± I said with a clearly irritated look on my face.


    ¡°Please!¡± I rolled my eyes, ¡°Any woman in that situation would have done that¡­ ¡± my words were cut off as he grabbed my arms and shoved me over to the wall. My back hit the wall hard and a gasp left my lips.


    My breathing hitched as I noticed his face just inches away from mine, the heat from his body was making mine trembling for reasons unknown. His face screamed of annoyance and anger; I felt some kind of fear sinking inside my chest which made my throat dry. I tried to breathe but because of the heat his body was emitting, I couldn¡¯t.


    His eyes red at me and I found myself pressing my palms to the wall, moving my body back and back. His strong arms were pressed against the wall on either side of my head, bending himself to my level and scowling at me.


    ¡°Never roll your eyes at me! Miss Mitchell¡± he said, his eyes ring, his jaw clenched, he was partially spitting anger at me and I was frightened. I tried to say something, anything, but my words weren¡¯t passing out of my lips and I was opening my mouth and closing it like a fish in water.


    ¡°And¡­ You¡¯re here because¡­ no one touches Niki Vasiliev and gets away with it!¡± he said,


    ¡°Who¡¯s Niki Vasiliev?¡± I asked while blinking rapidly in confusion, he was clearly taken aback by my question which confused me more.


    Who the fuck is he? I don¡¯t remember doing anything to him?


    ¡°Me!¡± He replied with an annoyed expression on his face. I internally facepalmed at my stupidity, why did you even open your mouth, Julia! My subconscious yelled inside my head. I tried to shut my mouth and look at him, but his eyes were making it hard for me to maintain eye contact with him.


    ¡°Wha-What are you going to do wit-with me?¡± I shuttered, staring at his face while swallowing the lump in my throat.     ¡°I haven¡¯t thought about it yet!¡± He replied,     ¡°Till then, you¡¯ll work in the kitchen¡­ You worked at the Dine, right?¡± he inquired while staring at me.     I nodded my head at him waiting for him to finish, ¡°Perfect, you will help Flora in the kitchen¡­ along with your friend¡­ Make sure you do all the household work and everything well, If I find any of you not working or misbehaving with any of my people¡­¡± he spoke while moving his face closer to mine.


    I pressed my head back, moving back from him as his hot breath hit mine, ¡°I swear you¡¯ll regret it, Miss Mitchell,¡± he warned which gave me chills. My heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage and I was breathing hard.     ¡°Bu-But Please¡­¡± I know pleading doesn¡¯t matter anymore but I couldn¡¯t stop myself, ¡°I have friends and family back there and I have dreams¡­ I want to¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care¡­¡± He spoke cutting me off,


    ¡°Pulling that stunt back there is your mistake¡­ You will now serve me!¡± He said while cing his finger on my face and trail it down to my cheek.


    ¡°Your family, friends¡­ Dreams¡­ I¡¯m sure your life is more important than that¡­¡± he said and his words made my eyes widened in fear. The meaning behind his words was clear and loud which made me gulp hard, I couldn¡¯t fight the urge to wet my lips. I hurriedly wet my lips in fear and his eyes followed that small action which made my breathing hitch.


    ¡°If you want to live¡­ Obey!¡± He said while ncing at my lips. With a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, I was puzzled over what he meant by that.


    ¡°Because I¡¯m goddamn experienced with disobedient people, Miss Mitchell¡±Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    I stared at him in disbelief with my mouth wide open, ¡°I¡¯m not some pet to obey yourmands Mr Vasiliev,¡± I replied while clenching my jaw in anger. His scary dark aura might make me fear him, but I will not let him treat me however he wants.


    I noticed the corner of his lips slightly moving upwards, the look on his face turned into a challenging one which began to piss me off. Bastard! I wish I could rip that smirk off his lips.


    I fisted my hands and gritted my teeth in anger, ¡°You wish!¡± he grinned and stepped back. I stared at him, puzzled.


    ¡°And¡­. Do not try to escape, Miss Mitchell¡± He warned, his eyes turning dark.


    ¡°I know where you live, your parents live and your workce as well¡­ It would be easy for me to kidnap you again¡­. if you did escape¡­ ¡± he stared at me and snapped his fingers.


    What is he doing?


    Suddenly two of his men walked inside the room with something in their hands, I couldn¡¯t see it but they directly approached me. I backed up from them but one of them grabbed my arm and pulled me towards them.


    The Other man bent down and grabbed my ankle, ¡°Hey, what the hell are you doing?¡± I yelled at him, but he ignored my yells. I kept trying to get out of their hold, but I couldn¡¯t. As they stepped back, I nced at my leg and saw a long thick ck anklet around it.


    ¡°What is this?¡± I asked, confused and couldn¡¯t keep the fear out of my voice,


    ¡°It¡¯s a tracker,¡± he replied,


    ¡°What the?¡± I bent down and tried to get it off my leg, but I couldn¡¯t pull it off. Suddenly I noticed that it was locked.


    ¡°Remove it!¡± I yelled at them, but they nced at Niki and walked out of the room.


    ¡°How does thise off!¡± I mumbled while trying to remove it,


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t!¡± Niki replied, I nced at him and gritted my teeth in pure rage.


    ¡°Unless¡­ You cut off your foot or¡­ Die!¡± he said, pushing his hands into his pockets,


    I sighed and didn¡¯t know what to do or say. He looked quite determined to hold me here, but I couldn¡¯t stop myself from asking him this.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Will you ever let me go?¡± I asked, although I¡¯m pretty sure what his answer might be but I wanted to hear it from him.


    ¡°There¡¯s no escaping from me, Miss Mitchell,¡± He smirked.


    ***


    I was sitting on the floor and had been trying to remove the Anklet tracker for the past three hours, but all my attempts to remove it failed. I sigh out in frustration while pushing my hair back,


    ¡°Son of a bitch!¡± I muttered while pulling the anklet.


    Suddenly the door was pushed open and I saw a woman walking inside with a trolley. ¡°Hello,¡± she smiled at me like I was her guest.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± I asked while getting up from the floor,


    ¡°I¡¯m Flora Tate,¡± She said while stopping in front of me, ¡°I¡¯m the head housekeeper of this mansion,¡± she added.


    ¡°Oh! Nice to meet you. How can I remove this?¡± I asked her immediately while pointing at it,


    Her eyes moved to the anklet and back to me, ¡°I don¡¯t know, Dear,¡± She replied,


    ¡°I¡¯ve bought lunch for you, please have it!¡± She said with a sweet smile on her face, I nced at food and my stomach growled loudly embarrassing me in front of the woman. I quickly covered my stomach and nced at her.


    ¡°Sorry,¡± I said for which she chuckled,


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Please finish it!¡± she said while putting the food on the te and handing me over. Looking at the delicious food I couldn¡¯t say no.


    **


    I was sitting on the bed, having lunch while Flora sat beside me. I don¡¯t know what Ste is doing right now, I hope she¡¯s okay, did they offer her lunch as well? Did she have it?


    Should I ask Flora about it?


    I nced at Flora and cleared my throat, ¡°Miss Tate, Did you offer lunch to my friend, Ste too?¡±  I asked, she turned to me and nodded her head.


    ¡°Yes, she had her Lunch,¡± she replied,


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I replied,


    Poor Ste, she had been through a hard time because of her breakup and now she¡¯s pulled into this because of me. I hope she¡¯s fine. I have to request Niki to let her go, she did nothing to him and why is he even keeping her here? He should let her go.


    If he wants me to stay here and serve him or whatever, I will do it only if he agrees to send her back. She¡¯s innocent and I will not allow Niki to hold her here no matter what. I will request him to let her go. After she¡¯s out of here, I¡¯m sure she will go to the cops and bring help for me.


    Since he made it quite clear to me that I can¡¯t escape from here, Ste is my only hope and Yes, Ste will help me get out of here, I know her very well. I need to talk to Niki Vasiliev and convince him no matter what.


    ¡°Miss. Tate, Can you please take me to Mr. Vasiliev, I need to talk to him about something,¡± I said,


    ¡°You can call me Flora, dear¡­ I will have to ask him first,¡± She replied. I smiled at her and thanked her. After having Lunch, Flora took the trolley and closed the door from outside. I kept pacing back and forth in anxiety thinking what I should tell him and how I should convince him to let Ste go.


    The sound of the door opening grabbed my attention, I saw Flora walking inside and I was looking at her full of hope.


    ¡°Niki agreed,¡± she smiled,


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± she added while stepping aside. I smiled at her and followed her out of the room. I was growing anxious and gathering everything to tell him as I know he would not agree any time soon and I need a lot of requests.


    Flora opened the door for me and gestured for me to go in, I smiled at her and stepped inside. As soon as I stepped in she closed the door and I grew nervous. I nced at Niki, who was sitting on the chair and watching me without blinking his eyes.


    I grew even more nervous looking at him. Come on Julia, You can do this! I kept telling myself while stepping towards him. I cleared my throat and tried my best to not let my nervousness ruin it.


    ¡°Mr. Vasiliev¡­ I¡¯m requesting you to please send Ste back¡­.¡± I said while looking at him, ¡°She didn¡¯t do anything to you¡­. She¡¯s innocent, Please let her go!¡± I requested but he was stoic, he had this nk expression.


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t even know you¡­¡± I added. He got from his chair casually which made me even more nervous.


    ¡°For-Forcing her to be here¡­¡± he began to walk towards me which made my legs automatically step back, ¡°¡­ is unfair¡­¡± with every step he took, my legs began to step back.


    ¡°Ple-Please let he-her go,¡± I stuttered as my back hit the wall and he stood just a few inches away from me. His eyes are trained on my face,


    ¡°Why should I?¡± he asked,


    Huh! I just told him why he should let her go! Is he deaf? He didn¡¯t listen to anything that I just told him.


    Jesus Christ.


    ¡°Be-because she¡¯s innocent,¡± I replied,


    My heart kept humming inside my chest as he stepped closer to me, ¡°SO?¡±


    ¡°What if I say no? I will not?¡± He said, looking at me.


    ¡°Bu-but¡± I swallow hard trying to give him more reasons,


    ¡°Please, She doesn¡¯t even know you¡­ Please let her go! Please Mr. Vasiliev,¡± I requested,


    A soft gasp left my lips as he raised his hand and his fingers caressed my cheek, pushing my hair back, behind my ear. All of a sudden, I feel so cold that his touch is burning my skin,


    ¡°Letting her go¡­or not¡­. ispletely dependent on you,¡± he said and I stared at his face in confusion.


    God! He¡¯s stunning.


    And utterly frightening.


    This man is capable of anything.


    I can barely draw in a breath, ¡°Wh-What?¡±


    I was breathless.


    ¡°Yes, Miss. Mitchell¡­ her well-being and whether I should let her go or not is entirely on you¡­ if you behave¡­ she¡¯ll be fine, if not¡­¡± He smiled,


    His smile is the most beautiful and menacing thing I have ever seen.

    Julianna.


    ¡°If not?¡± I asked, breathless, Sacred.


    ¡°Simple, She¡¯ll be dead in a minute,¡± He smiled, I stared at him speechlessly, and I did something very embarrassing, I begged.


    ¡°Please,¡± I said desperately, ¡°Don¡¯t do this,¡±


    ¡°She¡¯ll be just fine if you behave,¡± He said, his eyes boring into mine.


    I watched him frozen in ce, I didn¡¯t understand what to do now. My obedience is now tied to Ste¡¯s life. Should I fight him and escape from here? If so, What would happen after that? He will be angrier and search for me and will bring me back in here. He hasn¡¯t hurt me yet, and I don¡¯t think provoking him would be a good idea.


    He¡¯s muchrger than me, so much stronger. I could see the thickness of his muscles in the shirt he¡¯s wearing and I¡¯m barely reaching his shoulders. While I examine the merits of fighting someone who probably outweighs me by a hundred pounds, I¡¯m sure he would make the decision for me.


    I sigh in defeat, ¡°Okay,¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± he said in a softer tone,


    Evil Bastard!


    ¡°Now, Get out,¡± He ordered, grabbing my arm and pushing me towards the door.


    ¡°Asshole,¡± I muttered under my breath and stepped out of the door.


    As soon as I stepped outside, My eyesnded on Flora, who was waiting for me outside. She instantly smiled at me as she saw me and walked over to me.


    ¡°By the look on your face, my guess is, he must have not approved of something you asked,¡± she said,


    I nodded my head, ¡°Yeah,¡±


    ***


    We headed back to the room, he put me in. I was pacing back and forth, ¡°Son of a bitch,¡± I kept cursing him while pacing in anger.


    Flora was just watching me, ¡°Who does he think he is?¡± I groaned in frustration. I sat on the bed feeling defeated by this arrogant man, I nced at Flora.


    ¡°I know you want to escape from here but there is really nowhere to go,¡± She said, ¡°We are on a private ind in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.¡±


    The sinking feeling in my stomach worsened. ¡°Whose private ind?¡± I asked.


    That¡¯s a dumb question, Julianna, My subconscious muttered.


    ¡°Niki¡¯s of course,¡± she replied,


    ¡°Who is he? Who are you people,¡± I asked, my voice steady as I spoke to her, she doesn¡¯t make me nervous like Niki.


    ¡°Niki Vasiliev is a Russian mafia don, I¡¯m here just to take care of you,¡± she said, ¡°I guess he already told you this¡­ You have to work with me in the kitchen every day from now,¡±


    ¡°Yeah, he told me,¡± I said,


    So, he¡¯s a mafia boss. No wonder he gave me chills.


    ¡°Why am I here?¡± I asked while taking a deep breath, ¡°Please don¡¯t tell me he brought me here for pepper-spraying him because that¡¯s a ridiculous reason,¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, You¡¯re here because Niki wants you here,¡± she replied,This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡°And you don¡¯t see anything wrong with that?¡± I asked, but I didn¡¯t get it. How is this woman going along with him?


    Is he threatening her the way he¡¯s threatening me? Is he holding her captive as well?


    ¡°Niki does whatever he wants, it¡¯s not for me to judge his actions,¡± she shrugs,


    ¡°Is he holding you captive as well?¡± I asked, widening my eyes,


    ¡°No,¡± she chuckled,


    ¡°He¡¯s like a family, like a son to me,¡± she said with a warm smile on her face.


    ¡°He¡¯s like a son to you and yet you see him holding us captive?¡± I asked, ¡°He¡¯s literally forcing me to stay here against my will¡­¡±


    ¡°Listen dear, I can¡¯t interfere in his Business,¡± she said calmly,


    ¡°He might have his reasons for keeping you both in here, otherwise Niki would have let you go by now,¡±  She said seriously and walked out of the room.


    ***


    I brought this upon myself, god Why did I even meet him in the first ce? I tried to push the thought away and decided to open the window, maybe fresh would help me think of possible ways to escape from here. I walked towards it, I opened the window and fresh warm air filled the room.


    Flora was right, even If I tried to escape from here I couldn¡¯t even get out of the main door. From the window, I could see how big this ce is. I had never in my entire life seen this huge ce, There was a huge garden in front of my window with different kinds of nts.


    Huge double doors were located at the entrance and there were tons of bodyguards all around the ce with guns. The security in here was so damn tight. There was a huge water fountain ced in the middle of the driveway, splitting it into two. The estate was surrounded by tall trees all around it.


    It was beautiful.


    Looks like this mansion is located in thick woods.


    The room they gave me was big, with a bed in the middle and tall bookshelves lined up on the wall with a stack of books. I explored the room and was now walking towards the bathroom. I opened the bathroom door and walked inside, I saw a soap, toothbrush, and toothpaste. In the shower stall, I found body wash, shampoo and conditioner, all expensive brands.


    Looks like the Russian don is super-rich, I thought while looking around.


    The fact that I¡¯m exploring the room instead of screaming and crying amazes me, but I¡¯m not crying because no matter how much I cry and scream it won¡¯t help. He will not let me go. Now that he made it clear that Ste¡¯s life is at stake, I have to stay strong and face Niki rather than cry like a coward.


    Suddenly the door of my room opened, and I saw Flora walking inside, ¡°Julianna,¡± she called while strolling towards me.


    ¡°Yes?¡± I asked,


    ¡°Here, I¡¯ve bought some clothes for you,¡± she said, handing the neatly flooded clothes, I took them.


    ¡°Take a shower¡­ I need you in the kitchen,¡± She said, ¡°Will you..¡± I cut her off,


    ¡°Of course,¡± I smiled,


    Working in the kitchen is better than staying locked in this room. I can also look where Ste is. I quickly showered and put on those clothes. A pair of whitecy panties and a matching bra as underwear and a mini ck sundress with buttons in the front.


    I followed Flora to the kitchen through the quiet hallway. My eyes widened as I reached the stairs and saw how beautiful the interior was and how huge the mansion was. Everything was deadly silent. My eyes roamed around every expensive piece of furniture in that spacious living room.


    I could hear Flora chuckling looking at me gaping, ¡°You like it?¡± she asked,


    ¡°Yes, such a beautiful mansion,¡± I said while climbing the stairs looking around,


    ¡°If you want, I can show you the rest of the mansion,¡± She offered,


    ¡°Please,¡± I replied excitedly.


    The kitchen was particrly impressive, with top-of-the-line appliances and gleaming granite countertops. I helped Flora prepare dinner for everyone in the mansion. Apparently, there are tons of members living in the mansion and she prepares food for them all. The maids in the mansion do everything but cooking, she told me that Niki doesn¡¯t want anyone to cook other than Flora.


    ¡°You do it alone?¡± I asked surprised,


    ¡°No,¡± She chuckled, ¡°I¡¯ll take help, of course, I won¡¯t let Niki discover it,¡±


    ¡°God! Cooking for these many people is hectic,¡± I said,


    ¡°Yeah,¡± she replied, ¡°Now that I have you to help me, It wouldn¡¯t be that hectic I guess,¡± She smiled while we carried the tes over to the huge dining table.


    She¡¯s sweet, and spending time with her ispletely distracting me from the situation I¡¯m in and my thoughts of Niki.


    That Devil!

 12

    Julianna.


    I walked with Flora carrying the dishes to the huge dining table. My eyesnded on Niki who¡¯s walking down the stairs while typing something on his phone. No, Don¡¯t look at him, My subconscious kept yelling inside my head. I refused to turn my head but from the corner of my eyes, I saw him pulling the chair out and sitting down.


    Bastard!


    Son of a bitch!


    Asshole!


    ¡°Stop cursing me in your head and Serve,¡± he ordered while sitting, his lips curved in an arrogant smile.


    My eyes widened in shock and surprise, How did he know I was cursing him?


    I nced at him and noticed that damn smile on his face. Is he some kind of mind reader of something? I thought while swallowing hard.


    Jesus!


    I was quite nervous not because of fear but, I don¡¯t know but Niki was making me feel nervous inside. I have to admit to a kind of sick fascination with him, perhaps I¡¯m just curious. Before his arrival, I was normal, the atmosphere was normal but now, the atmosphere turned into electricity and there was a heavy silence.


    I took a pair of fish and ced it on his te, I was well aware of his gaze on me, it was so damn hard to believe that sinner wears such a gorgeous mask. My hands were shaking slightly as I served him dinner,


    ¡°Flora!¡± He called all of a sudden making me jump back at his tone,


    I nced at him and saw him watching me, I noticed the corner of his lips slightly moving upwards. Is he smirking at me? I could feel anger and annoyance rising in me,


    ¡°Go away,¡± He ordered like I was a pet, I clenched my jaw and ced the bowl on the table, ring at him and strolled out of there in anger. I could feel his gaze boring into my back but I cared less, I was pissed at him.


    Fucking Asshole, Who the hell does he think of himself?


    Die and rot in hell, Fucking dipshit!


    I wish I put plenty of pepper spray on that fish, You¡¯re eating bastard. I so damn wish I would have done that.


    I climbed the stairs, literally stamping my feet on the floor and strolled straight to my room.


    Such an arrogant and annoying man.


    I hate him.


    I pushed the door open and strolled inside mming the door shut, I groaned in frustration while pushing my hair back. I walked towards the bed and sat on it, Calm down, Julia, I told myself while taking deep breaths.


    What does he gain by irritating me, Bastard?


    I wish I pepper-sprayed him more until he lost his sight, he deserves it.


    ***


    After cursing him nonstop, I ended up feeling bored and grabbed a novel from the bookshelves. I found myself sitting on my bed and reading it. All of a sudden, I felt kind of bored and closed the book.


    A thought of my family rushed to my mind and my chest tightened, my eyes burned. I know they wouldn¡¯t worry about me or even give a damn about me being alive or dead but I miss them. I don¡¯t know whether I will be able to see them ever again, I hope they are alright.


    I hate you, Niki Vasiliev.


    A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts, Flora walked inside with a tray filled with food. She smiled at me while walking inside which instantly changed my mood. She has something in her smile which gives a kind of motherly warmth.


    ¡°You left without letting me know, so I thought to bring dinner to your room,¡± She said while cing the tray on the coffee table.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to stay there with him,¡± I replied honestly,


    ¡°With Niki?¡± she asked,


    ¡°Yep,¡± I replied,


    ¡°Why? Did he say something?¡± she asked,


    ¡°No, he¡¯s just annoying,¡± I groaned, Flora chuckled at my words and handed me the te with food.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I said while taking and suddenly Ste rushed to my mind,


    ¡°Did my friend¨C¡± she cut me off,


    ¡°Yes, She had her Dinner,¡±


    ¡°Thanks, Flora,¡± I smiled at her,


    ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡±


    While having dinner, I asked her about the Ind and she told me that this ce is the safest ce for them since Niki is a mafia don, they are under constant threat. The location of this ind is top secret and only Niki¡¯s trusted people know about the location.


    ¡°So he bought this ind just like that,¡± I widened my eyes,


    ¡°Yes, He can afford it,¡± she shrugged,


    ¡°Of course, he would, He¡¯s a mafia don,¡± I rolled my eyes. Niki is a huge mystery to me and I find myself more curious to know.


    ¡°Is his father a mafia don as well?¡± I asked, curious.


    Hearing my question, I feel the change in the atmosphere. Her smile faded and her gaze went t and hard, ¡°Don¡¯t talk about him,¡±


    I stared at her curiosity eating inside me, ¡°Sore subject?¡± I asked,


    She nodded, ¡°To answer your question, yes, Niki¡¯s father was a mafia don¡­ but I suggest you not mention Niki¡¯s father in this mansion,¡± she said, her tone hard and sharp.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    I nodded my head feeling slightly scared of her sudden harshness. For the next ten minutes while I was having dinner she didn¡¯t speak to me at all, didn¡¯t even look at me.


    ***


    Laying on my bed, My thoughts go back to escaping from this ind with Ste. I have survived one and a half days, alive in here and I don¡¯t trust Niki, he¡¯s a mafia don for god¡¯s sake. The fact that he didn¡¯t hurt me yet doesn¡¯t mean anything. It¡¯s just a matter of time before he does something truly awful to me or Ste.


    I need to escape from here before that happens to either of us. He¡¯s dangerous and unpredictable.


    I need to find a way off this ind.

 13

    Julianna.


    The next day, I woke up and saw Flora with a cheerful smile on her face. She bought two boxes filled with clothes for me and I was quite surprised looking at the size of the box. She helped me put those clothes into the closet, surprisingly these clothes were my size.


    Right now, I am sitting on the bed, with a towel wrapped around my body. Sighing deeply and I stared at my closet. These are some beautiful clothes but I¡¯m not going to stay here long, I will leave this ce soon.


    I got down from the bed and got dressed, I had one thing on my mind that was tattooed inside, it was, Escape. I have to escape from here no matter what. I¡¯m trying to keep my eyes wide open and grab any chance I get.


    Escaping this mansion and ind is my first priority, I have to see Ste and n everything with her. We both need to get away from this ind.


    It has been two days. I have been trying to find where Ste is. No one says a damn thing. I asked Flora where she is and she said, Quote, ¡°Niki doesn¡¯t want me to disclose her location to you,¡± End Quote.


    Fuck me! What does Niki want from me!


    Do whatever you want Niki, I will find her and we¡¯ll discuss how to get away from here and make a n.


    I strolled down the stairs with a purpose to see where Ste was. Where did he keep Ste? I looked around and was suddenly walked onto someone.


    ¡°Oh god, I¡¯m sorry,¡± A feminine soft voice apologised to me, I looked at the person and saw a young woman. She looked more like Flora, ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± I said while stepping back.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    She smiled and I noticed the smile, it was as if Flora smiled, ¡°Who are you?¡± words rushed out of my mouth with curiosity before I could control my tone. It came out so rude that I quickly apologised to her.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I found you¡­ Familiar!¡± I said, looking at her curiously.


    ¡°You must have met my mom, I¡¯m Penelope Tate,¡± she said extending her hand to me, I took it,


    Flora¡¯s Daughter!


    ¡°Julianna Mitchell,¡± I smiled at her.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re that Pepper spray girl!¡± She eximed,


    ¡°Huh?¡± I stared at her confused,


    Did she just call me Pepper spray girl?


    ¡°Forgive me, I¡¯ve heard about you from my brother,¡± she said,


    ¡°Oh, Your brother! Who?¡± I asked curiously,


    ¡°Niki! He¡¯s like a brother to me,¡± She replied,


    ¡°Oh, Okay,¡± I stared at her,


    If she¡¯s like a sister to Niki, she must be close to him, then I should convince her to ask Niki to let me and Ste go.


    ¡°Before you ask me to convince my brother to let you go, let me tell you, I don¡¯t interfere in his business,¡± she said with a polite smile, as I tried to ask her,


    My hope crushed, ¡°No, I wasn¡¯t asking that!¡± I replied trying hard to cover my disappointment, behind my smile.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Flora?¡± I asked, looking around.


    ¡°She¡¯s in the kitchen,¡± she replied, ¡°Wanna Come?¡± She asked,


    ¡°Yeah,¡± I replied,


    Gone the convincing idea, Fuck, Fuck, Big Damn Fuck.


    I walked beside Penelope with disappointment rubbing itself on me. Whenever I try something, I¡¯m faced with disappointment and feelpletely trapped in here.


    It¡¯s frustrating.


    As we walked into the kitchen, my eyesnded on Flora, she was chopping veggies with full concentration on them. I strolled to her and greeted her, ¡°Good Morning, Flora,¡±


    ¡°Good morning, Julia,¡± She smiled,


    ¡°Let me help,¡± I said and took a knife,


    ¡°Thank you,¡± She said, ¡°You two meet!¡± She nced at her daughter and me.


    ¡°Yeah, Mom,¡± Penelope replied,


    ¡°I ran into her while looking for you,¡± I replied while chopping,


    ¡°You know what I called her mom, Pepper spray girl,¡± Penelopeughed,


    ¡°What!¡± Flora had a disbelief look on her face as she turned to her daughter,


    ¡°Yeah, I was surprised to see her suddenly and I didn¡¯t know her name, Mom,¡± she said and apologetic looked at me.


    Flora was ring at her daughter and she was trying not to make any kind of eye contact with Flora.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Flora,¡± I said, mming them both, ¡°She didn¡¯t mean to call me that,¡± I added with a smile.


    ¡°Yeah, Mom, Chill!¡± Penelope said, ¡°I was just shocked to see her and let¡¯s be Honest, No one ever did that to Nik¡­it¡¯s worth remembering though,¡± She ended upughing atst,


    ¡°Yeah,¡± Flora chuckled,


    ¡°I seriously can¡¯t believe you did that, Julia,¡± Penelope said with disbelief,


    ¡°Why?¡± I asked curiously,


    ¡°Look at you¡­ You¡¯re sweet, kind and a delicate flower¡­ Looking at you, no one would tell you that you pepper sprayed my handsome, tall, Intimidating and let¡¯s not forget, Mafia Don, Nik,¡± Penelope said,


    ¡°Yeah,¡± I rolled my eyes,


    Mafia don!


    ¡°True that,¡± Flora added,


    ¡°I¡¯m curious, what actually happened?¡± Penelope asked, curiously.


    ¡°Well, I was going back to my Apartment and Niki was following me behind to hand me my phone but I thought he was some kidnapper or something and sprayed pepper right on his face,¡± I said,


    ¡°Like right on his face,¡± Penelope said while motioning her hand over her face,


    ¡°Yes,¡± I nodded my head,


    ¡°Jesus,¡± Flora gasped, ¡°Right on his face! It must have burned his eyes,¡±


    ¡°Yep,¡± I replied, ¡°He was like, aww, My eyes! Jesus! Oh god,¡± I began acting like he did that night.


    Penelope and Flora beganughing out loud as I kept acting like Niki, covering my eyes, and rubbing them, yelling.


    ¡°Woman, Argh!¡± I kept on, ¡°Stop, Oh my eyes,¡±


    ¡°Oh my god! Julia!¡± Penelope keptughing out loud,


    ¡°My eyes,¡± I continued,


    ¡°Hahaha,¡± Flora continued as well,


    ¡°Such a child!¡± I rolled my eyes, ¡°Likee on who wouldn¡¯t do that when someone¡¯s walking behind you,¡±


    ¡°Julia,¡± Flora cleared her throat but I ignored her and continued,


    ¡°Does he think he¡¯s a god or something! Such an arrogant man,¡± I groaned,


    ¡°If I knew he¡¯s an asshole, I wish I had this knife instead of that pepper that day,¡± I said while holding the knife, ¡°and Stab him instead,¡± I said while stabbing the air in frustration.


    ¡°Um¡­ Julia,¡± I heard Penelope¡¯s voice,


    ¡°NO, don¡¯t stop me,¡± I red at the cucumber in front of my eyes and gripped the knife harder.


    His face shed in front of eyes, on the cucumber, smirking at me. It was telling me, ¡°Oh you can¡¯t do it, my sweet Julia,¡± his face mocked me.


    You bastard!!


    ¡°Niki,¡± I clenched my jaw in anger,


    Yes, Julia! He winked at me and was smirking.


    How fucking dare, you!


    ¡°Die, Die, Die,¡± I began stabbing the cucumber, imagining it as Niki. His face and his smirk weren¡¯t disappearing and it was making me more frustrated.


    ¡°Argh, You! Demon! monster!¡± I yelled,


    ¡°Julia!¡± Penelope called,


    ¡°What?¡± I yelled, turning to her. She was signalling me to look behind me while trying to control herughter badly. I was too angry and frustrated to understand what she was telling me.


    ¡°What?¡± I stared at her confused, and Flora gestured to turn back.


    ¡°Why the hell are¡­¡± I gasped and my handsnded on my chest.


    He stood there, ring at me like he would fry me with his eyes, his nose ring like he was some kind of fire breathing dragon. His jaw clenched making his shaper jawline look sharper than a knife.


    I¡¯m doomed!

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    If looks could kill, I would be buried six feet underground. His eyes were fixed on me, rage-filled and ready to lung on me. I gulped hard, staring at him. My legs were rooted to the spot and My heart kept pounding against my ribcage.


    You¡¯re doomed, Julia! My subconscious muttered inside my head.


    I know, I replied back while staring at him with fearful eyes.


    I hear Penelope clearing her throat. ¡°I-I have this¡­ this work outside¡­ see youter, Julia¡­ let¡¯s go mom¡­ I need your help¡­¡±


    They¡¯re escaping, something I wish I could do. His fiery eyes were set on me, not moving to Penelope nor Flora, it made me feel like my whole body was on fire, I don¡¯t know why his gaze is affecting me so much but it scares me. His aura is damn scary when he¡¯s angry, it makes me want to run in the opposite direction.


    I was all alone with the angry devil in the kitchen, he took a step ahead towards me and automatically my legs stepped back. My heart kept pounding in my chest as he kept stepping ahead and my legs moving back until my back hit the wall.


    The air around us was thick, no matter how deep I inhaled, I felt like there¡¯s not much air and I was breathless. His expression was dark and angry, his blue eyes narrowed at me and I sensed him irritated.


    Apologise, Julia, my subconscious yelled inside my head.


    You can get out of this situation if you apologise to him.


    No, I will not! I replied stubbornly.


    I was breathing vigorously as his body was so close to me, my heart kept beating as it would jump out of my chest if he moved any closer to me. I¡¯m trying my best to calm my breathing and not let his intimidation work on me but I was miserably failing in it.


    I pressed my back to the wall and looked all the way up at his face, I was barely reaching his chest. He still had that hard expression on his face which said he¡¯s pissed.


    ¡°M-Mr. Vasiliev,¡± I swallowed hard while trying hard to not look at his eyes,


    ¡°Demon! Monster?¡± He repeated what I just said with a hint of amusement in his tone, ¡°What more names do you have for me, Miss Mitchell,¡±


    I nced at him, is he mocking me?


    ¡°Oh, I ha-have many, Mr Va-Vasiliev,¡± I stuttered but put a smile at the corner of my lips. His eyes were locked with mine.


    ¡°Do you wanna know?¡± I asked with an innocent smile,


    ¡°Well, no, I¡¯m not interested, Miss Mitchell¡­ people call me with different names¡­¡± he replied moving a bit closer to me,


    ¡°Some call me Heartless killer¡­ some call me, Ruthless don..¡± he continued while my heart kept pounding inside my chest and panic was pushing my confidence down.


    ¡°Bloodthirsty demon¡­ the list goes on¡­ I have many names, Miss Mitchell,¡± he said, looking straight into my eyes. My throat dried up hearing it, people call him all these! My mind had a hard time processing it.


    He stared at my face with a small smirk ying on the corner of his lips, I flinched as his cold fingertip touched my cheek.


    ¡°You look pale¡­ Did I scare you, Miss Mitchell,¡± He asked, smirking at me.


    Bastard!


    ¡°Ab-Absolutely not,¡± I responded grabbing his hand and moving it away from my face,


    ¡°You should be¡­¡± he spoke and suddenly his demeanour changed, his features clouded and his aura grew colder while he nced at his hand which touched my cheek earlier.


    I stayed still and made no further attempt, I watched him turn around and storm out of the kitchen. As soon as he¡¯s out of my sight, I exhaled a deep breath I was holding back, I noticed how shaken I was.


    His presence has this effect on me that I never experienced before, no matter how much I deny it, I¡¯m damn scared of him. The fact that he¡¯s a king of the underworld mafia and could do anything that he wanted scared the hell out of me.


    I have to be careful with him, he¡¯s not Flora nor Penelope to talk to me nicely. He¡¯s a freaking Russian don, who could kill me in a second if I piss him off.


    ***


    The whole day went by, I was busy in the kitchen. I didn¡¯t see Niki after what happened earlier today. I still felt the fear and tried my best to shake it off but I couldn¡¯t. I didn¡¯t see him at lunch nor at dinner, which I¡¯m thankful for since I hated being nervous around him.


    I was walking back to my room, ah, correction, the room I was held captive in. The whole mansion was quiet, it was prettyte, Penelope and Flora both went to their rooms. I had to clean the kitchen before going back to bed as The Russian Don ordered me to.


    The hallway was dark and silent, I was humming to one of my favourite songs and opened the door of my room. An hourter, I was sitting on my bed, staring into space while sighing. I miss Ste, I don¡¯t know where she is? Or what she¡¯s doing?


    She doesn¡¯t deserve to be held captive for something I did. I feel guilty.


    Tears filled my eyes, I don¡¯t know what I expected from Niki when I went to him to ask him to let her go, but I didn¡¯t receive anything. I miss my family and her, I don¡¯t know if I will ever see them again.


    I let my tears roll down my cheek, I sobbed while remembering my parents and Ste. Half an hour passed, and I felt my throat dry and felt thirsty. I hupped like a kid while getting down from my bed in search of water.


    I found a mug on the coffee table and walked towards it, but I found it empty. A sigh left my lips, I took the mug and walked towards the door. I yawed as I felt sleepy while walking through the hallway, heading towards the stairs.


    I felt cold and the empty hallway was slightly scaring me. Those horror movies I saw began to rush to my mind, my legs began to move faster towards the kitchen. My heart was pounding inside my chest, no rational and logical thoughts could calm me.


    Shut up, I know those are movies bute on, Ghosts are real, what if those souls who Niki killed are wandering in his mansion to take revenge on him, I replied to my subconscious which was yelling at me to calm down.


    What if they are hiding in the darkness and waiting for someone,


    Oh my god, what if they sense my hatred for Niki and choose me!


    FUCK! FUCK!


    I quickly began filling my mug and looking around.


    God, please save me from these evil ghosts, please let them get to Niki, not me. That mother fucker deserves it. I¡¯m an innocent soul who never hurt a fly till now, please punish that evil Niki for hurting me.


    Please god!


    I kept praying while filling the mug.


    As I filled the mug, I hurriedly tried to get out of the kitchen but slipped and fell down. I hit my knee and was hissing in pain but suddenly I heard something.


    GHOST! NO!


    I DON¡¯T WANT TO DIE


    RUN! JULIA!C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    I quickly got up and was about to run from there but from the corner of my eyes, I saw something. My legs stopped, no matter how many times I told myself to run from there but my body wasn¡¯t listening.


    I walked towards the back window of the kitchen; my heart was pounding inside my chest. I slowly pushed the window and I saw a group of men standing far from the mansion, near the woods.


    These two groups of men were standing opposite each other, four of them stood behind a tall man. From behind he looked like Niki, I tried to see him clearly and recognised him as indeed Niki.


    In front of Niki stood a tall man, behind him were two men. Looked like they were talking about something, discussing something. What are they talking about? At this time? And far from the mansion?


    I was curious.


    I kept watching them as they continued to talk. Suddenly, Niki pulled a gun from his pants pockets and shot the tall man standing in front of him. A gasp left my lips, and my hands moved to my mouth.


    I watched him shooting that man¡¯s men in just the blink of an eye. Their bodies copsed to the ground at a time and blood was scattered on his clothes. My eyes were widened, my hands covered my mouth in fear of making any sound that could grab his attention. My heart was pounding against my chest in pure fear.


    He killed three men!

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    My heart kept pounding inside my chest and my throat went dry. A chill ran down my spine, I felt my palm sweating and blood drained from my face as I saw the bodies of the menying on the ground.


    My mind couldn¡¯t process what I just saw, I know he¡¯s a mafia don but I¡¯d never thought I would witness a murder in my life.


    He killed them.


    He¡¯s a frecking murder!!!


    Jesus Christ.


    My legs automatically stepped back from the window, My mind was shut down and I was so damn scared. I turned around and rushed out of the kitchen, the darkness and silence in the mansion made me more afraid.


    My breathing was shaky as I climbed the stairs, my whole system was shaken as I witnessed it. I hurried towards my room and stepped inside, breathing heavily. I locked the door and pressed my back to the door while trying to calm myself.


    I was terrified.


    My legs moved towards the bed and after a few minutes, I found myself tucked under the covers, staring at the ceiling. My heart kept racing and no matter how many times I tried to shut my eyes it kept shing in front of me.


    He killed them!


    I knew he kills people, everyone in the mafia does, but I never ever witnessed murder ever and it traumatised me.


    I had been dealing with a dangerous murder till now?


    Whatever I did with him, all my arguments with him rushed back to me. Now I understand why he held me here, he wanted to kill me. The thought itself horrified me. The whole night, I kept tossing and turning, scared and I couldn¡¯t sleep at all.


    The next morning, I woke up with red eyes and anyone who sees me can tell I didn¡¯t sleep properly. The scene I witnessed yesterday kept shing in front of my eyes, which had me on edge.


    ¡°Julia?¡± Flora out of nowhere touched my shoulder and I jumped in fear, I ced my hands over my chest and nced at her. My heart was racing inside,


    ¡°Flora?¡± I gasped while trying to calm my breathing. Flora stared at me in confusion and there was a hint of concern in her eyes.


    ¡°Are you¡­ alright, Julia?¡± she asked,


    ¡°Yes, Yes, I¡¯m fine,¡± I replied forcing a smile,


    ¡°You don¡¯t look well? Did you have a good sleepst night?¡± She asked while cing her hand over my shoulder.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I lied,


    She stared at me not buying my lie, ¡°No,¡± I sighed,


    ¡°What happened?¡± She asked,


    ¡°I had a bad dream,¡± I lied again and quickly changed the topic, ¡°Where¡¯s Penelope?¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s outside, watering the garden,¡± Flora said while putting on the apron,


    ¡°Oh!¡±


    We began to prepare breakfast, the aroma of food filled the kitchen. Penelope joined us shortly and helped us set the dining table, I ran over the dishes ced on the table and noticed that I forgot to bring one more dish I prepared.


    God!


    I turned around, hitting my forehead with my palm, cursing at myself for forgetting and banged myself at something hard, ¡°Ah!¡± a yelp left my lips as my feet slipped and Inded on somebody¡¯s hard body.


    My hair covered my facepletely. I feel my chest pressed against something hard, and suddenly I feel something was poking my belly. I groaned while pressing my palms on the floor and trying to get up, with one hand I nched myself and with my free hand, I pushed my hair back.


    ¡°Fuck!,¡± I hissed and bit my lower lip as I felt the ache in my knee, I might have hit my knee hard.


    God! How can I be so clumsy?


    I opened my eyes while trying to get up and¡­ Froze.


    Holy shit!


    Staring at me was his electrifying blue eyes, his perfect facepletely emotionless, yet I felt the rage burning underneath. All the blood drained from my face, His hot breath was hitting right my face and I could feel my hands shaking and I was losing my bnce as his gaze hardened.


    The thing which was poking my belly was his manhood under his tight pants, my hair was falling on his chest. The air around us was thick and there was pin-drop silence. The heat emitting from his body was making the hair on my back stand up.


    My throat went dry and I just stared at him in terror. I could hear my heart pounding against my chest, the events I sawst night rushed to my mind. I feel like my lungs tightened and I could feel them burning for more air. I was breathless and it made my head spin.


    The blood, those bodies were shing in front of my eyes.


    My vision was blurring and all I remember was, my forehead falling right on his soft lips before I fell unconscious right on his body.


    ***


    I hear small murmurs around me, I feel my head pounding and I slowly sit up while groaning loudly. I pressed my fingers against my forehead and tried to massage it while moaning in pain. I opened my eyes and saw Niki standing in front of me with his hands folded over his chest.


    His sleeves were rolled up, his strong arms and those damn nerves popping out of his arms made my throat go dry. I gulped hard while moving my eyes up to his face, he had a hard expression on which scared me.


    I nced at the door and saw flora going out while shutting the door behind. Go, Julia, run and get the hell out of this room, My subconscious yelled inside my head. I swallowed the lump in my throat,


    Go, Julia, Run for it.


    I quickly got to the bed and ran towards the door. As I grabbed the knob and was about to open the doorpletely, Niki¡¯srge hand pressed against the door and mmed it shut. The loud sound made me jump back in fear and my back hit hisrge form.


    I tried to run from my sides, but he trapped me with his hands pressed to the door on either side. My heart kept racing inside and I could hear my own heartbeat through my ear. I slowly turned around and came face to face with his hard and massive chest. Our bodies were way too close and we looked at each other, Predator and prey, the conqueror and the conquered.


    The deadly silence was making me more scared, there was some kind of strange heaviness in the air.


    With a little courage in me, I opened my mouth, ¡°Le-Let me g-go,¡±Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°What did you seest night?¡± he asked straight with his tone hard, his eyes narrowed at me.


    I widened my eyes in shock, How did he know?


    ¡°N-NO, I di-didn¡¯t¡± I lied,


    ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me, Miss. Mitchell,¡± He said with his expression darkening, almost scary.


    ¡°I-I¡¯m not,¡± I shook my head,


    I gulped hard as I sensed him not believing me.


    ¡°You have a tracker on your leg, Miss. Mitchell¡­ It clearly showed where you werest night but¡­ I want to hear you say what you saw,¡± he said, looking straight at my face.


    Fear, I feel raw fear right now. With his eyes locked on me and his hard expression, I was terrified of him. Before I could control myself tears began rushing to my eyes,


    ¡°Please,¡± I said with my shaky voice.


    His expression was still the same which told me that he¡¯s going to punish or rather kill me for sure.


    ¡°Ple-Please lea-Leave me,¡± I let tears roll down my eyes,


    I lowered my head and covered my face with my hands and sobbed horrified, ¡°Please don¡¯t kill me!¡±


    ¡°Please, I beg you!¡±


    ¡°Miss. Mitchell,¡±


    ¡°Please¡­ Don¡¯t hurt me,¡± I sobbed,


    ¡°Don¡¯t kill me!¡±


    ¡°No, please don¡¯t kill me!¡± I sobbed louder as I noticed him moving his hands.


    ¡°Miss. Mitchell,¡±


    ¡°Please, I don¡¯t want to die,¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t kill me,¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Please,¡± I sobbed and Suddenly he grabbed my face with his hands and forced me to look at him. As soon as my tearful eyes locked with his, he mmed his lips to mine. Knocking the air off my lungs.


    I was stunned.


    His lips are gentle, his palms holding my face tenderly.


    Is this a dream or Am I imagining all this?

    Juliana¡¯s Pov:-


    His hands were firmly holding my face while his warm lips pressed against mine, my lower body was tightly pressed against his. His lips moved against mine, tenderly moving. My heart was pounding against my ribcage and I could feel some kind of electricity rushing through my bones.


    As soon as we connected, skin against skin, I lost all the ability to think and simply drowned in the feeling.


    His lips were gentle and his breath was warm, the scent of his cologne was hitting my nose, clouding my senses. My nipples peaked into tight little buds of sensations, he gently kissed me as if making sweet love to me. My lips automatically moved against his, granting him ess to my mouth.


    I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m doing and why I wasn¡¯t pushing him away, but I was melting at that kiss. A strange feeling spread through my body, weakening my will to fight. His soft lips moved slowly, taking his time, exploring every corner of my mouth. The temperature in the room changed or perhaps it¡¯s just my body turning hot.


    His tongue stroked against mine and he slowly sucked onto my lower lip, sending a jolt straight down to my core. His hands moved to the back of my head while he was kissing. I found my hands wrapped around his neck; I have no idea how they got there.


    I¡¯m quite shocked at my own reaction, I know he¡¯s a killer and dangerous man, I should be pushing him away, cringe away from his kiss in disgust but I¡¯m doing theplete opposite here.


    Damn him, he¡¯s a skilled kisser.


    It feels so damn good, that incredible mouth of his was making it hard for me to resist and it¡¯s taking me to a ce I had never been before. The taste of his lips and his breath mingled with mine.


    Jesus Christ.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    His skilled mouth made me forget about the current situation, the terror I felt earlier was reced with something I don¡¯t understand. The need, the urgency, I was clouded with sensations I never felt in my entire life.


    So intense, I was growing breathless but couldn¡¯t break it for even a second. He pressed into me firmly but gently. His hands held my head and his fingers caressed my cheeks. The feeling that surged between us as we kissed was something more powerful than ever.


    The blood rushed to my ear and I was flushed, I could feel myself growing hotter and My body was pressing itself against his like a moth to the fire. I was closing the gap between us while my hands gripped his neck firmly.


    I could feel the muscles underneath his clothes, I could feel his heart pounding against his chest. He¡¯s so gentle, so tender. I¡¯m losing myself in this mind-blowing kiss, but his mouth left mine suddenly.


    By the time I opened my eyes, my head was spinning and I noticed that he was gone. I don¡¯t know how long we kissed, but he left me alone wanting more, much more. I licked my lips and my hand moved to my wet lips. My fingers traced it while my heart kept pounding against my chest.


    I have never been kissed like this ever before.


    It was so damn intense.


    I shut my eyes and drew in a deep breath, trying to calm myself and get my senses back.


    ***


    Niki¡¯s Pov:-


    I strolled out of the room and headed straight to my room. My heart kept pounding against my chest louder than ever, almost hurting me. I pushed the door open and rushed towards my nightstand. Slight pain began to increase in my chest, I pressed my hand over my chest while pulling the drawer and grabbed the pills.


    I tossed a pill into my mouth and gulped down the water quickly. I sat on the edge of my bed, pressing my palms on the soft mattress, and stared at the ceiling while sighing deeply.


    The taste of her lips was still on my lips, I couldn¡¯t stop myself from licking my lips. She¡¯s so beautiful, her lips tasted as sweet as candy. I don¡¯t know why my heart pounded that way as I kissed her, her closeness has affected my heart so much that it hurts.


    I never felt something this intense ever before, my heart never reacted the way it reacted earlier. I¡¯ve been with plenty of women before, but this never happened. Her scent, the taste of her lips, those smooth and rosy cheeks, everything about her is making my heart pound louder than normal.


    Every time I see her, some kind of excitement rushes through my body. She¡¯s like an angel and was forbidden for me to touch and see, but I guess I couldn¡¯t resist it as I saw her crying in fear.


    My heart clenched inside as I saw her crying, scared of me. I didn¡¯t like it one bit. I don¡¯t know why, but I didn¡¯t want her to be scared of me. I can¡¯t understand why I did what I did, but the feeling of her skin beneath my hands, the sweetness of her lips, her warm breath on my face and the way she trembled under my touch made it deserving.


    I lost control of myself, which never happened before. She does have a face of an angel and it¡¯s so fucking impossible for me to stop kissing her at the moment. As I pulled back with great difficulty, my eyes noticed her wet and shiny lips, which tempted me to im them but the ache in my chest didn¡¯t let me.


    Her eyes closed, her long eyshes resting on her cheeks while she waited for me to im her lips again.


    There is something surreal about what¡¯s happening, the way I lost control and kissed her and the way my heart ached all of a sudden as our skin connected. It¡¯s all confusing and my mind can¡¯t process it all fully.


    I kind of feel overwhelmed, oddly. I don¡¯t understand but one thing was clear to me, I want more, I want more of her, the urge to go back to her and taste her lips again was strong.


    I pulled my lower lip between my teeth and sighed, ¡°What are you doing to me, Miss. Mitchell,¡±

 17

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    My breathing was unstable and all I could feel was dizziness because of the intense kiss. I pressed my back to the closed door and leaned my head back. What¡¯s happening to me? Why am I liking it?


    As I slowly got my senses back, a gasp left my lips.


    Oh my god!


    What have I done?


    I kissed him back!


    Stupid Julia! How could I kiss him back and fucking enjoy it?


    Jesus Christ.


    The whole day, I kept cursing myself for what I did. I didn¡¯t have the courage to face Niki, I did my best to avoid him as much as possible. I always thought to save my every first until I meet my soulmate, to someone I love but I gave my first kiss to him, I don¡¯t love him, I fucking hate him but oddly I don¡¯t regret it as It was intense and breathtaking.


    Never in my entire life, I thought I could hate someone as much as I hate him but I lost my first kiss to him and it infuriated me. I wish I controlled myself and pushed him away but I was so lost in the kiss that I couldn¡¯t do that.


    A sudden knock on the door made me flinch and snap out of my thoughts. I nced at the digital clock and it showed 10:00 pm. Who might that be? There was another knock on the door, so I quickly sat up. I don¡¯t know who I was expecting but my heart began to pound in my chest.


    I took slow steps towards the door, anticipating who it might be and there was another knock. My heart was pounding louder for passing seconds, as my hands reached the door and I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.


    Calm down, Julia!


    I kept repeating inside my head and quickly pulled the door open, ¡°Yes?¡± I said as soon as I opened the door. My eyesnded on Penelope who stared at me in confusion and with a questioning look.


    ¡°Um¡­ Nothing, I just wanted to talk¡­ Are you okay?¡± she asked,


    ¡°Yes, absolutely¡­e in,¡± I said while stepping aside and letting her in. I nced outside before closing the door and I don¡¯t know why I did that.


    ¡°I couldn¡¯t sleep¡­.¡± she sighed while sitting on the edge of my bed.


    ¡°Same here, I couldn¡¯t sleep too,¡± I sighed while walking over to her.


    ¡°Let¡¯s watch anything on Netflix,¡± she said walking over to the sitting area.


    ¡°Okay, I replied and followed her behind,


    We watched some good Netflix series all night and ended up sleeping on the couch.


    ***


    ¡°I never guessed that would happen, it¡¯s really a mind-blowing twist¡­¡± Penelope said,


    ¡°Totally agree, ¡± I replied while ncing at her.


    We are standing in the kitchen cooking breakfast, Flora told us to cook breakfast since she had some other work to do. We carried the dishes to the dining table, as I ced those dishes down and turned around my eyesnded on Niki, who was walking down the stairs while his long fingers were furiously typing something on the phone.


    His expression was serious, I gulped hard and immediately lowered my head. My heart began to race inside my chest as I walked past him, towards the kitchen. I quickly rushed inside the kitchen and leaned my back on the kitchen counter.


    ¡°Calm down, Julia,¡± I said to myself while taking deep breaths,


    Goddammit!


    I tried to calm myself and walked back to the dining table, I saw Niki checking his phone and Penelope serving him breakfast. I calmly tried my best to not gain his attention and walked straight to the dining table.


    As soon as I walked closer to the dining table, he ced his phone down and my heart began to beat rapidly against my chest. As I pulled the chair out, his eyes moved to mine and I felt sudden panic surging inside me.


    I sat down and tried my best to avoid eye contact at any cost but I could feel his eyes following my every move like a hawk and it made me feel extremely bothered. I kept my eyes on my food and tried to keep myself upied.


    The air around us was heavy and the tension was high, there wasplete silence and it was awkward. I ate my breakfast like someone who had been starving for days. I wanted to get away from his eyes as soon as possible.


    I nced at him before getting up and taking my te to the sink, our eyes met and I quickly looked away.


    A whole week went by, I kept avoiding any kind of contact with him and he did the same. Penelope and Flora did notice this and kept throwing tons of questions at me but I kept telling them that they¡¯re just overthinking and everything is fine.


    I tried not to think about Niki and what we did but it keeps rushing back to my mind, I couldn¡¯t sleep at night because I keep getting wet dreams about him and it¡¯s bothering me. I shouldn¡¯t feel all these, this is wrong, he¡¯s my captor.


    I quickly got up and sighed. I think I should just watch Netflix all night to avoid them. I got down from my bed and walked over to the sitting area. I should bring something to eat while watching t. v or else I will for sure end up sleeping again and I don¡¯t want to have those dreams again.


    I walked out of my room to find something to eat in the kitchen. The hallway was dark and the mansion was surrounded by pin-drop silence, I could feel a cool breeze hitting me as I climbed down the stairs.


    I began humming the song ¡°Me!¡± by Taylor Swift while strolling into the kitchen, preparing popcorn. I was so into the song that my body began to move, I quickly took a bowl while dancing and filled it with popcorn. I moved to the fridge and took a water bottle, as I was about to turn I heard something.


    My legs stopped moving in mid and every muscle in my body paused, What was that?


    click**


    Fuck! What¡¯s that?


    My heart was racing in my chest and all of a sudden, someone grabbed my arm and twisted it back. I hissed in pain and before I could scream a huge palm covered my mouth, I struggled to move as the grip was strong.


    I tried to look at the person holding me but I couldn¡¯t, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± a husky deep move hit my ears, making the hair on the back of my neck rise up. My heart jumped in panic and my entire body was shaking.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± I hear him asking, I feel this voice familiar but my panicked state was making it hard for me.


    I tried to scream at him to leave me but my screams came out muffled, ¡°Don¡¯t scream or else I¡¯ll kill you,¡± he said while slowly moving his palm. I was terrified, he gripped my arms and turned me around.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    What the hell!


    ¡°Mr. Vasiliev?¡± I gasped as my eyesnded on his face, he was surprised to see me there as well.


    ¡°What the hell are you doing here at this time? Miss. Mitchell?¡± He almost yelled at me,


    ¡°I-I cam-came¡­. Pop-Popcorn..¡± I stuttered while pointing at the bowl like a kid,


    His eyes red at me and a frown appeared on his handsome face, our bodies were still too close to my liking and the heat from his body was causing me to feel extremely hot. I quickly tried to step back from him.


    ¡°I-I¡¯m so-sorry¡­. ah!¡± I tried to get away from him in a rush, I tripped and fell on him. We both ended up falling on the floor with a loud bang, my head hit his chest and I felt his manhood under my belly.


    We fell silent and the only sound was our breathing. I was damn scared to move a muscle but I mustered up some courage and pressed my palms on the floor. I tried to slowly get up but I felt a sting pain in my knee. I hissed in difort while pushing my hair behind my ear.


    I suddenly felt his piercing gaze on my face and I felt my breathing stop, our faces were so close to each other. I could feel his hot breath hitting my face, his eyes moving gradually to my lips and I noticed them turning a darker shade of blue which strangely excited me.


    Suddenly he mmed his lips against mine, knocking the air off my lungs, he wrapped his hands around my waist and kissed me like an addict.


    Holy shit!


    Why did I get out of my room in the first ce!

    His lips moved rhythmically against mine with hunger so intense, the moment his lips touched mine every inch of me burst with longing. His soft and warm lips moved harshly yet gently against mine and I found myself losing into this hungry kiss. His hands moved to the back of my neck and in just seconds I found my legs wrapped around his waist and my hands wrapped around his neck.


    He drew in a sharp breath through his nose while exploring my mouth, his hands urged me close to him. I was breathless as I let his seeking tongue explore mine as his grip on my face was firm. His skilful tongue teased mine, causing goosebumps to burst down my legs.


    I couldn¡¯t think, I couldn¡¯t breathe as he kissed me I was scared to break this spell. I used his hands gripping my face to tilt my face further up and his hot mouth moved to cheekbone, jawline, hurriedly moved down to the side of my neck and I shivered.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    His lips rushed back to my lips and I was consumed by it, engulfed by this strange need and these sensations drove me crazy. I found myself matching him, thrusting my tongue into his hot mouth. My subconscious kept murmuring from the back of the head, warning me of this dangerous kiss that was so fucking passionate that I¡¯m losing myself in it.


    The sound of the door being shut made me open my eyes and I found myself trapped in between his bedroom door and him. I was so wild and out of control, wrapped in this thrilling kiss that I didn¡¯t notice when he carried me to his room.


    His hands were pressed against the door, just beside my head while he kissed me, the way his tongue was attacking my mouth, exploring every single inch was so brutal yet beautiful. The need is so strong and powerful, I moaned and clutched his shirt wanting to remove it. I want to touch him, feel his skin against my fingertips.


    The need was so strong and powerful that I felt my body on fire and I needed him, his hands slid down to my body under my top. I gasped into his mouth as his soft fingertips touched my skin, his mouthtched onto the side of my neck.


    I shuddered.


    I couldn¡¯t control myself as his delicate storks on my belly sent electricity all over my body. I was holding onto him tightly while his hot mouth moved all over my neck. Every single kiss he ced on my skin and every single stroke on my belly promised pleasure and I¡¯m so fucking eager for it.


    From the day we kissed, he had been in my mind and no matter what I do I can¡¯t stop thinking about the kiss and craving for more. As his fingers moved dangerously close to my breasts, I felt hot and my nipples tightened as if wanting to be touched by him.


    As hisrge hands cupped one of my breasts, a loud gasp left my lips and some kind of excitement rushed through every end of my nerves. I couldn¡¯t stop myself and grabbed his t-shirt and pulled it out, he quickly removed it and threw it on the floor.


    His hot mouth rushed back to mine and imed my lips as he carried me to the bed. He ced me down gently on the soft mattress without breaking the kiss and pressed his hand right beside my head, trying to not put his body weight on me. His hands moved down to the hem of my top, and pulled it over my head. As cool breeze touched my skin, I shivered and my hands quickly wrapped around him. His hands moved back to my bra straps and removed the bra off my body. I was so lost in the kiss and need that I didn¡¯t notice when he removed all my clothes. His hands moved all over my body, touching me, his hands gripping my breasts, massing them.


    He put my nipple into his hot mouth and sucked onto it hard, his other hand moved down to my belly, I exhaled loudly as his fingers curled into a half fist and moved into my panty, working deeper until he found the spot he wanted.


    I was wet, I was drenched and his blue eyes filled with lust as he locked them with mine. His touch was pure bliss, I threw my head back and arched my back up. I gripped the mattress as his tongue rolled around my nipple while his fingers stirred careful circles over my clit. His touch caused me to flinch and shiver, ecasty rocketed up and down my spine like lightning.


    My mind shut off; I couldn¡¯t think anything other than losing myself to the pleasure he¡¯s giving my body. His hot mouth moved down to my belly, cing a trail of wet kisses all over my skin. I marvelled at how perfectly his hands and his fucking mouth sizzled across my nerve ending and brought me closer to the brink with every touch.


    I waspletely blind with lust; it was so fucking strong and powerful that it threw everything aside and made me surrender to the basic need and pleasures he has to offer. I did my best to stay away from him but my body couldn¡¯t.


    Suddenly he moved back, at the absence of his touch I quickly looked at him with clear sadness. But when I saw what he¡¯s doing, my breath stuck in my lungs. His blue eyes locked with mine while he undressed in front of me.


    Oh god!


    His manhood!

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    I wasn¡¯t prepared for how fucking good his body looks, he¡¯s so hot with all those hard muscles, bord shoulders and his hard chest. My eyes moved all over his naked body, taking in every detail.


    He¡¯s so damn fucking hot!


    Jesus Christ!


    I exhaled slowly while my eyes moved down to his manhood, he¡¯s long and thick.


    Jesus, he¡¯s so big, so hard.


    I gulped hard, staring at how hard he was.


    It had a slight upward curve to it. Tension tightened in me as he began moving back to me iming my lips. My hands flew to his neck and everything went weak inside me, I felt my bones turning into jelly.


    His hands cupped my breasts and kept massing them, squeezing them. Somehow between our passionate, greedy kisses and wandering hands, I found myself backed up to the bed. He pressed the fingertips of one hand to my clit, shooting sparks of pleasure down my quickening legs.


    It was full of fire.


    His hands kept moving all over my body and reached to my centre and desire reached its peak. He pulled off my panty and his hungry gaze worked along with the length of my bare body, lingering over my nakedness. I felt flushed and breathless.


    ¡°Jesus! Miss. Mitchell,¡± he breathed out,


    He once again pressed his fingertips over my clit, and his gaze was fixed on where he¡¯s touching me and he looked thrilled. His body stood between my bent knees, his fingers exploring my clit.


    His hand moved to his cock, it was erotic watching his beautiful hand work himself over. He thenced his forearms under me and his hand resting on my thighs and jerked me closer to the edge of the bed.


    My heart stopped as the tip of him brushed against me, he leaned over, setting a hand on the mattress beside my head as he steadied himself with the other at my entrance. I gasp as he began to push himself, it began to hurt, to burn. I shut my eyes tightly, the pain of being ripped apart was so damn uncontroble.


    ¡°Rx, Miss. Mitchell¡­¡± he whispered,This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡°Fuck! You¡¯re so tight,¡± he uttered so quietly, it was a ghost of a word.


    I noticed there are beads of sweat on his forehead and I realize he¡¯s restraining himself. I¡¯m shivering and trembling as it hurts so much, he continues to push slowly and my flesh slowly gives in, reluctantly stretching for him.


    He watched me intensely, studying every breath I took as he imed me. His slow push kept going, deeper, wider, harder, and I whimpered in pain but the ufortable stretch felt good. I feel full, I can feel his hardness lodged deep inside me.


    He lets my inner walls adjust to his size and slowly begins to move while raining soft kisses all over my face, my neck and his hands caressing my skin. My body began to soften and respond to his kisses, the tenderness of his touch.


    I gasp as he goes deeper filling me with his thickness, His slow and steady thrusts makes the pain subside with tension that¡¯s gathering inside me and then, he reaches between our bodies with one hand and uses one finger to press against my clit, keeping the pressure light and steady. His thrusts moved my hips, causing me to rub against his finger in a rhythmic way.


    The pain is still there, so is the pleasure. His thrusts get harder, deeper and I¡¯m moaning from the undeniable intensity. The pain and pleasure mix. My hands gripped his hair while his face hid in the crock of my neck, our bodies moving against each other and those sounds of our skin pping each other.


    Fuck!


    This feels so good!


    Unbelievably good.


    He moves his eyes to me and stares at me, his face taunting with lust and his eyes glittering. I held his gaze fascinated by the fierce need I saw there. He is as much in my thrall right now as I am his and that realization adds to my desire further heating up my core.


    Oh god!


    Raising his hand, he curves his palm around my cheek, wiping the remnants of tears with his thumb. Then he bent his head down and kissed me, as tenderly as ever. I revel in that kiss, his affection is like a drug to me right now and I need it with a desperation that I don¡¯t fully understand.


    Niki moved his hands to my breasts, squeezing them and pushing them together so that he could move his hot mouth from one Nipple to another. He kept sucking my soft buds and squeezing my breasts while fucking me hard.


    I close my eyes and my hands slide up to his shoulders, finding their way into his soft and silky hair. Still sucking my nipples, he began to move back and forth causing his cock to move within me ever so slightly, sending waves of heat throughout my body.


    ¡°Ah..¡±


    My hips were meeting his thrusts and loud moans escaping my lips, I couldn¡¯t contain myself and gave my bodypletely to him. His movement grew faster, harder and then, I exploded.


    ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    The orgasm ripped through my body with such force that my vision darkened for a moment.


    I heard him groaning against my ear and his hands held my waist tightly while he thrust into hard. His hard thrusts had me release once again with him.


    We both were breathing hard, our bodies pressed against each other, covered with sweat. For a few blissful seconds, I¡¯mpletely swamped by pleasure, by ecstasy so intense that it¡¯s almost agonizing


    He held me still, stroking my sweat-damped hair, pushing a few strands off my face. I stared at his handsome face whileid beside me. I licked my lips and stared at him with lust and desireing back to me again.


    Goddammit!


    I want him,


    I want more!


    I want more of his kisses, his touches, his skin against mine.


    I want Niki Vasiliev so fucking much.

    Niki¡¯s Pov:-


    Good God!


    She¡¯s breathtaking.


    I never had this amazing sex with anyone ever. Whenever I look at her, my heart mmed against my chest in a strange way and I really don¡¯t understand what¡¯s happening with me anymore. As I held her in my arms, her eyes stared at me with lust and desire and it made my heart beat faster again.


    Her eyes screamed for more and I could feel myself turning on by just looking at her lips and those beautiful eyes. I had been waiting for this to happen from the day I tasted her lips. Every single time I saw her, every single nerve in my body wanted to m her against the wall and kiss her hard.


    The craving to taste her lips was so strong that I never felt it before. No matter what I do, I couldn¡¯t stop myself from watching her, the way she talks and walks made my eyes fix on her. Every small action she does is turning me on.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    I was working earlier before I heard the sounds of someone in the kitchen and I found her, I couldn¡¯t control myself as her soft and small body fell on me. I couldn¡¯t stop my raging hormones as I saw her lips and her beautiful face in the dim light.


    I had to taste her.


    ¡°You¡¯re beautiful, Miss. Mitchell,¡± I whispered while pulling her closer, ¡°So damn beautiful,¡± Her body shivered as I ced my lips on her neck and whispered against her skin. I¡¯m loving the way her body¡¯s reacting to my touch and it makes me want to do some sinful things to her body and enjoy those erotic reactions.


    Jesus!


    I imed her soft lips and kissed her sweetly, she responded right away, melting in my arms. I don¡¯t understand this feeling, but I like the way she¡¯s fitting in my arms as if she was meant to be. My heart was humming in my chest and I could feel a slight pain, it was bearable, but I don¡¯t understand why I feel ache whenever I¡¯m near her.


    I always feel like this rush through my bones and it never happened to me before. Her soft skin, her smell and fuck! Those beautiful eyes make my heart m against my ribcage. I had met a fair share of beautiful women and had spent nights with them, but this never happened to me before.


    Why with her! Why?


    I wrapped my arms around her and pushed her closer to me while kissing her, iming her sweet mouth. The way her boobs and her soft body was pressed to mine has increased the desire to have her again, but I know she just lost her virginity and having sex again will hurt her.


    I tried to control myself and this strange feeling and ache inside me as much as I could, but as I felt myself losing into lust and end up fucking her again I quickly pushed her back. A small gasp left my lips, shock and confusion were evident on her face and it clenched my heart.


    ¡°Yo-you should sleep¡­¡± I said while getting up from the bed, I could feel her eyes on me, but I tried my best to not look at her. I don¡¯t know whether I¡¯m running from her or from myself. I slipped into the bathroom and stood under the shower.


    I let the water drops fall on me while sighing deeply, my hand moved to my chest and I could feel my heart pounding inside my chest.


    ¡°Miss. Mitchell,¡± I breathed out.

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    I stared at him as he walked into the bathroom butt naked. Looking at his firm butt, I gulped hard, but as soon as he slipped into the bathroom the way he pushed me away all of a sudden rushed to my mind.


    I pushed my hair back and sat up. I felt hurt and disappointed and I don¡¯t know why, but I didn¡¯t like the way he pushed me away. I felt angry and I couldn¡¯t sit there and look at him again. I quickly tried to get up, but the ache between my legs made me gasp.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± I gasped and slowed down from the bed, as I grabbed my clothes and began wearing them, from the corner of my eyes and I noticed the blood on the bedsheets and embarrassment washed over me.


    After wearing my clothes, I changed the bed sheet and set the bed before walking towards the door. I could hear the shower running in the bathroom as I pulled the door open and stepped outside, I couldn¡¯t stop myself from turning back and ncing at the closed door of the bathroom before closing the door.


    I strolled towards my room and I don¡¯t know why my eyes are filled with tears. I don¡¯t understand why I feel hurt but I let tears roll down my cheeks. I pushed the door open and strolled straight towards my bed.


    I climbed onto my bed and tears began to stream down my eyes. I don¡¯t know why am I crying? Why do I feel so hurt? Is it because of having sex with someone who kidnapped me or because he pushed me away?


    Am I crying because I lost my virginity to a murder? A mafia don? Why the hell am I crying?


    The way he pushed me away and was taking a shower inside his bathroom rushed to mind and tons of questions were raised to mind. Was he so disgusted by me that he showered right after having sex with me? Perhaps he didn¡¯t want my smell on his body.


    Did he not like it? Am I so bad?


    God!


    Why am I thinking all these? Why do I care? Why do I feel so bad? Why? Possibly only I wanted him, maybe he didn¡¯t and maybe he didn¡¯t like it and thought to clean himself. I shouldn¡¯t have had sex with him in the first ce, how could I lose my virginity to a mafia don.


    I always saved myself for the right person and despite knowing who he is, how did I end up having sex with him.


    I know he might have had sex with plenty of beautiful women and maybe I was so bad that he took shower right away. I felt tears rolling down from the sides of my eyes and I couldn¡¯t stop myself from crying. My whole life I had been reminded by my parents that I¡¯m a good-for-nothing child and I¡¯m bad at everything I do, perhaps they are right.


    Maybe I am.

    Niki¡¯s Pov:-


    I wrapped a towel around my waist and used another one for drying my hair. I grabbed the doorknob and a sigh left my lips. I shouldn¡¯t have pushed her away like that, she must have felt bad.


    God!


    I pulled the door open and stepped outside, my eyes moved to my bed and found it empty. She changed the bedsheets and set my bed before leaving my room. I ran my fingers through my hair while exhaling, I shouldn¡¯t have pushed her like that. Looking at the neat bed, I felt extremely guilty and mad at myself.


    I¡¯m sure she¡¯s hurt, why the hell did I push her like that. Fuck! I should talk to her before she misunderstands me. I quickly dressed up and strolled out of my room. As I was walking through the dark hallway all I could do was hope she¡¯s not hurt by me.


    I raised my hand and was about to knock on her door but I stopped as something caught my ear, a small cry. It was distant but I could hear her crying inside her room like a kid. I felt my heart clench as I heard her crying. I felt this guilt and regret knowing she¡¯s crying because of me.


    I clenched my fist and anger raised inside me, I wanted to go inside and stop her from crying but I stopped myself because I¡¯m angry at myself. I don¡¯t why but my heart is weirdly beating rapidly against my ribcage and I feel extremely guilty for making her cry.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I mumbled before strolling back to my room. I felt this rage burning through my veins and I don¡¯t understand why I felt it in the first ce. I just have sex with her and I did have it with many other women but I never felt all these ever.


    Why do I feel so angry hearing her cry? Why does my heart clench inside my chest when I see my bed empty? What is happening to me?


    I pushed the door and strolled inside my bedroom, I ran my fingers through my hair and paced back and forth in frustration and rage. I don¡¯t know why but I can¡¯t let her cry like that. I have to say sorry to her first thing in the morning.


    I have to exin to her why I pushed her in the first ce! God! I shouldn¡¯t have done that.

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    I woke up in the morning feeling a slight headache and the worst feeling ever, no matter what I do I couldn¡¯t let this headache slide. I had to just fresh up and move downstairs, to the kitchen. Whatever happenedst night kept shing in front of my eyes but I kept pushing those thoughts down. I have to stop thinking about it and ignore him at all costs.


    ¡°Good morning, Julia,¡± I heard Flora¡¯s voice as soon as I entered the kitchen.


    ¡°Hey, Good morning,¡± I replied. I walked towards her and began the breakfast process and tried my best to not maintain any kind of eye contact with her since I¡¯m quite bad at lying to her. I¡¯m sure she will catch my lies even if I try to lie to her.


    God!


    I could hear Penolope¡¯s chatter from afar and there were multiple footsteps, I turned back and nced at the dining area and saw her with someone. I stared at them with curiosity, Who is that guy? I couldn¡¯t hear what they were talking about but I could see them in a deep conversation.


    I saw him somewhere, he looked familiar. He must be one of Niki¡¯s bodyguards and must be living here. By the way, they both are talking andughing with each other, I¡¯m sure there is something going on between these two. I mean, the way they are talking and looking at each other, makes it clear that they are into each other.


    I watched them while preparing the breakfast and I swear I noticed some kind of tension between them, it might be sexual or something else. I carried the dishes to the dining table and hearing my footsteps they both turned to me.


    ¡°Hey, Julia!¡± I heard Penelope,


    ¡°Hey, Good morning,¡± I greeted her while cing the dishes on the table and turning to her,


    ¡°Good morning,¡± She replied, ¡°This is n,¡± she said while ncing at him, ¡°n, this is Julianna Mitchell,¡±


    ¡°Hello, ¡± he extended his hand towards me and I took, ¡°Nice to meet you, Julianna Mitchell,¡±


    ¡°Hello, Nice to meet you too¡­ You can just call me, Julia,¡± I said while taking his hand,


    ¡°Okay,¡± he smiled,


    He looks good, he¡¯s tall, handsome with manly features. He sat beside Penelope and in just seconds they went back to their chatter.  I quietly did my work and sat in the chair, I nced at Flora who walked towards me and sat beside me.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Niki?¡± she asked looking around and as she mentioned his name, whatever happened between usst night in the kitchen rushed back to my mind. I swallowed hard as an image of us both kissing whileying on the kitchen floor shed in front of my eyes.


    ¡°I-I don-don¡¯t know,¡± I replied while lowering my head and grabbing the dish in front of me trying to make myself look busy.


    I gulped hard and nced at her from the corner of my eyes. I have to stay away from Niki and ignore him as much as I can. I don¡¯t want to talk to him and nor do I want to look at him, I know he didn¡¯t enjoyst night and if I look at him, I¡¯ll hate myself for not controlling myself and giving my virginity to him.All content is ?

    I was about to start my breakfast, I heard footstepsing towards the dining table and turned in the direction. As my eyes caught the sight of Niki walking down the stairs, I quickly turned to my te.


    Fuck!


    Hurry up, Julia, eat fast and run from here.


    I quickly began to eat my breakfast in a hurry and tried to not gain anyone¡¯s attention while doing that.


    ¡°Good Morning, Nik,¡± I hear Penelope greeting him,


    ¡°Good Morning, Niki,¡± n greeted,


    ¡°Morning, everyone,¡± he greeted back,


    I hear him pulling his chair and sitting down. I felt his eyes moving onto me and my heart raced in my chest.


    Calm the fuck down Julia, My subconscious began yelling inside my head but my heart kept beating rapidly. His eyes were boring into my skin and I couldn¡¯t stop myself from ncing at him and meeting his electrifying blue eyes.


    Shit!


    I quickly looked back at my te.


    ¡°Julia, eat slowly!¡± I hear Flora telling me, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to me and I internally sighed deeply.


    God!


    ¡°I¡¯m just starving,¡± I chuckled awkwardly.


    His eyes were watching me like a hawk and I could feel myself growing nervous and bothered under his watchful eyes.


    Jesus Christ! Save me from this Demon.


    Please make him stop looking at me like that.


    Let something fall in his eyes and make him turn away from me, I swear I¡¯ll run away from here in just sec like a lighting bolt.


    God Please.

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    As much as I wanted to eat fast and run away from here, My eyes kept wanting to look at him. I feel my heart beating faster and faster in passing seconds. I quickly gulped down the juice and stood up, to my difort everyone turned to me.


    I smiled awkwardly while grabbing my te and strolling towards the kitchen, as I washed my dish I could still feel my heart mming against my chest. I ced the te in its ce and leaned against the kitchen counter. I sighed deeply and raised my head up, staring at the ceiling.


    I don¡¯t want to stay here!


    Suddenly, I was so sad that tears began to fill my eyes. I miss Ste, I wish I was with her and not here. I tried to not let these tears roll down my cheeks and took a deep breath, controlling myself. I have to leave this ce and stay away from Niki.


    It was clear that he didn¡¯t want me close to him, his actions made it clearst night. I have to find a way to know where they kept Ste and have to get out of this ind with her as soon as possible.


    I turned around and strolled out of the kitchen, as I made my way to the stairs I could feel everyone¡¯s eyes boring a hole on my back. I tried to not look at anyone and headed straight to my room and shut the door.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    The whole day, I stayed in my room and contemted whether to go out or stay inside. I know I can¡¯t stay in my room forever, I have to face Niki and see his face since I¡¯m staying in his mansion among his people.


    I was sitting on my bed and staring at the ceiling with lots of things going through my mind. I had my first one night standst night with my captor and knowing he didn¡¯t like or enjoy it makes me ashamed and unworthy.


    What should I do?


    Suddenly there was a knock on my door which pulled me out of my thoughts, I slowly got down from my bed and walked towards the door. I grabbed the knob and pulled the door open, my breath caught in my throat as my eyesnded on Niki.


    He¡¯s standing in front of me with his hands inside his pant¡¯s pockets and he was dressed in grey nightwear. His hair was slightly wet maybe due to the shower and he looked so fucking hot right now. I was having a hard time trying to not gap at him.


    ¡°I want to talk to you,¡± he said while staring at me with a determined look on his face, I stared at him not knowing what to say.


    Before my mouth could tell him to go away, my body moved on its own, he strolled inside the room and I shut the door before turning to him. As soon as I turned to him, he grabbed my shoulders and mmed me against the door.


    A gasp left my lips as my back hit the door, he trapped me with his hands pressed to the door on either side of the door. My heart was mming against my ribcage while I stared at him, his eyes stared at mine with so intensity that I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up instantly.


    ¡°M-Mr. Vasi-Vasilev,¡± I stuttered while pressing my hands on his chest and pushing him but he stood still like a fucking pir.


    ¡°Pl-Please,¡± I pushed him with all my strength but he didn¡¯t move at all.


    ¡°Miss. Mitchel,¡± His tone held a serious warning and it made me stop immediately and look at him, he grabbed my hands and stared at me.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said,


    I stared at him in surprise, I was just speechless as he held my face in both hands and stared into my eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I shouldn¡¯t have pushed you like that but¡­¡± before he couldplete his sentence, My stupid mouth opened itself.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to exin it, Trust me, It¡¯s just a meaningless one night stand which I regret as well,¡± I said,


    Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!


    I panicked internally as I saw the changes in his facial features, his eyes stared at me with hurt, it immediately changed into confusion and then came the infamous rage. There wasplete silence between us and his eyes boring into me, the look on his face was scaring the hell out of me.


    With his eyes still on me, he stepped back and red at me. I should have shut my damn mouth for once, Jesus Christ.


    ¡°You regretst night?¡± He repeated what I said as if trying to hear what I said again, clearly trying to calm his anger,


    NO!


    ¡°Yes,¡± I replied,


    I noticed his jaw clenching making his jaw look sharper than before, ¡°You were screaming in pleasurest night¡­Miss. Mitchell!¡± He said while mming his palms against the door. I flinched and pressed myself to the door while breathing hard.


    I gulped hard as his face was close to me, ¡°I-I¡­¡± I stuttered,


    He moved closer to mine and I could feel his musky scent which was flooding my senses but I tried to ignore those distractions and tried to focus on the scent that is Niki, something very masculine and potentially dangerous.


    ¡°Tell me¡­ Miss. Mitchell?¡± He said huskily while moving towards my ear, I felt electric jolts rushing through my bones as his tongue ran down my ear to my neck. His hot breath was rolling over my lips and his eyes searched every inch of my face, a strange hunger for his mouth raised inside me and I was unable to control it.


    ¡°I-I¡­¡± I was opening my mouth and closing it like a fish in the water,


    ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± he said, looking into my eyes. I could feel my heart almost stop beating, I couldn¡¯t help but look into his beautiful blue eyes.


    ¡°Not even a bit,¡± he said and guilt hit me like a thunderbolt. Whatever I said before began ringing in my head.


    Stupid mouth, I shouldn¡¯t have said that to him like that.


    God!


    He moved closer to me and heat rose between us. I waited for him, bncing on the edge for him to move closer. To close thest inch of space between us and im my lips.


    What are you waiting for, Mr. Vasiliev? My subconscious whined in a seductive tone.


    I noticed the way his Adam¡¯s apple moved up and down as his eyes fixed onto my lips, it was so damn hot.


    ¡°If I kiss you, That¡¯s it¡­¡± he said, ¡°I won¡¯t be able to stop Miss. Mitchell,¡±


    I was breathing rapidly and my eyes moved down to his lips, I opened my mouth and exhaled softly, ¡°Kiss me,¡±     He moved so fast and mmed his lips against mine, stealing all the air from the room and sealing his mouth over mine. The kiss was fucking explosive, heat red from the spot where his lips met mine, spreading outward like a fire.


    Everything went weak inside me and my bones went jelly. His hands moved to my top and pulled it over my head, dropping it on the floor. His cold fingertips traced the lines of my bra and my hands moved back to his neck. I could feel his hurried pulse beneath my palms. The thin fabric of my bra was all that stood in his way.


    His soft tongue thrust into my mouth and caressed every inch of my mouth, my hands moved to the back of his head and grabbed a fist full of his hair at the base of his skull. I couldn¡¯t stand for much longer if he kept kissing me like that.


    His hands moved to my back and his fingers worked the sp of my bra and it pooped loose, sliding down. I quickly tossed it aside and moved my hands to the hem of his t-shirt. Up went the cotton T-shirt and then it was cast off, bringing his gorgeous form into the view.


    His hands moved down to my thighs and pushed them up, I quickly wrapped my legs around his waist. I swallowed hard as he pressed our warm, naked skin together while carrying me to the bed. Heid me down on the soft mattress and moved his hot mouth towards my jawline, cing a trail of open mouth kisses down to my breasts.


    His hands cupped my breasts, pushing them together, making it easier for him to run his lips and hot tongue from one nipple to other over and over again. My hands moved over to the waistband of his jeans, lingering at the button. I wed my unsteady fingers at the button which was a changeling undoing it.


    I pulled the zipper down and then shoved the pants down his hips. For a split second, I admired how soft his underwear was. Rich, soft, ck fabric-covered him but did nothing to hide his dick straining beneath.


    I couldn¡¯t control my hands as I smoothed my palm over the long, thick length of him.


    Jesus!


    I squeezed, stroking up and down, and satisfaction burned his handsome face. I was excited and nervous. Can I give him as much pleasure as he had given me yesterday? Am I doing it right?


    Before I could give a few more pumps he attacked my shorts, twisting them down my legs. He stepped out of his jeans as he lifted me up and seated me on the edge of the high bed while my shorts were left on the floor.


    The tension between us grew infinitely greater than more serious. We were both down to just underwear, and what happenedst night was gonna happen again. My heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage and threatened to burst out of my chest but I didn¡¯t care.


    I fucking want his mouth fused to me and his bare skin touching mine.

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    I wasying on the cool mattress as he moved between my legs while cing a trail of kisses from my neck to the down between my breasts. He had grounded his lower body against mine, I could feel his manhood rubbing against my soaking wet panty and sparks of pleasure roared from the contact.


    Desire to have him tookplete control over me and my hands automatically moved over to his skin, roaming all over his back, which felt strong and my fingers began to move down the hollow of his spine. I loved how insanely powerful he was.


    I was addicted and only Niki would suffice my needs. His head moved down to my panty and he straightened, meeting my eyes before smoothing his hands down my curves while his gaze travelled the length of my body and lingered at my exposed breasts.


    He began to drag the panties down, ¡°You are fucking beautiful, Miss. Mitchell,¡± He whispered while his eyes gazed at my bare pussy.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± he muttered while nuzzling his face in the cradle of myp.


    ¡°Oh¡­¡± I hand flew over his broad shoulders. His lips followed the descent of my underwear, kissing each new spot of my flesh he revealed. As his mouth inched along the top of my clit, and something like panic surged in my system.


    The tip of his tongue brushed over my clit, so cautious and curious. The full sensation of his tongue against my clit tore a gasp from my lungs. I kneeled his shoulders as I shook and watched him, his eyes were closed and his expression made it seem he was quite enjoying it almost as much as I was and it fucking turned me more.


    His tongue thrust in and out of my clit, fucking me, a low, deep groan from him, the stroke of his tongue was cruel. I was growing light-headed as I was breathless, I was swallowing huge gulps of air, struggling to keep up with him. His tongueshed at my clit and he made every muscle shake, I was going to rattle apart.


    ¡°Those fucking noises you make.. Miss. Mitchel,¡± he whispered, ¡°¡­ are driving me crazy¡­¡± This statement earned another whimper from me.


    His fluttering tongue was building me into a frenzy, I threaded my hands through my hair and shut my eyes tight, squeezing back the urge to let go. If I did, I worried I¡¯d be loud. Suddenly his mouth paused and he stirred his fingertips over my clit. I nced at him and met with his raw, hungry expression.


    Slowly he moved his finger into me and my mouth rounded into a silent, ¡°Oh,¡± as he slid deeper. The sensation was so damn intense which I never felt in my entire life. I feel my body set on fire and I fucking love every bit of it. The only thing that upied my mind was how fucking much I want him, I wanted all of him.


    ¡°Shit,¡± I groaned as the orgasm surged. Heat flooded through my veins, searing my nerves.


    I blinked, staring at the ceiling as my breathing finally began to slow down. I nced at Niki and saw raw lust for me more than before. He leaned over and kissed me, our lips and chests were pressed together tightly, leaving no room to feel anything else but him.


    I wrapped my legs around his waist, locking my ankles together behind his back and sank into our kiss. It was full of fire and desire.


    ¡°This is all I want whenever you are around¡­ Miss. Mitchel,¡± His voice strained with need. My mouth fell open on a loud gasp. How am I supposed to react to this? It made my already racing heart beat faster.


    ¡°¡­ me too,¡± I responded while staring into his eyes, as soon as I said it, he mmed his lips against mine. The tip of his tongue skimmed down the slope of my breast, keeping contact even as my chest rose and fell with my deep breaths.


    I was rubbing my arousal against his, our groans came out in the same pitch, low and soaked with lust. His hands quickly moved towards his boxer and I could feel his manhood at my entrance and my heart began to beat rapidly.


    He palmed the side of my face and continued to kiss me while he slowly began to push into me. With my legs around his waist, I pulled him deeper inside of me. His first full thrust stole my breath, tingles shocked my entire body.


    He pulled out and his second was hard enough it made my breasts bounce and drew his attention. He held them firmly while he drove into me, his thumbs brushing over my peaked nipples. My back arched automatically, pushing myself up, wriggling against his hips and meeting his thrusts.


    He looked stunning, his expression intense and focused. I couldn¡¯t hold my whimpers and sounds of enjoyment.


    ¡°Let go, Miss. Mitchell, you don¡¯t have to fight it,¡± he muttered between hurried breaths. He grunted and sighed as he moved into me, both taking and giving pleasure. His gaze wandered appreciatively over my breasts and moved up to settle on my lips.


    ¡°You¡¯re gorgeous,¡±


    Fire licked at me with his touches, sensitizing my skin. And as his pace increased, I couldn¡¯t handle the pleasure as my head tilted back and my back arched up against his chest. The headboard began to bang against the wall.


    He grabbed the headboard and began to thrust into me, it was then, he actually began to fuck me. I gasped with satisfaction, moans kept drifting from me too loud to control.  His dick plunged and retreated endlessly, hitting a spot that made the rest of the world fade away.


    The pleasure was building and was dangerously close to releasing. Every cry and moan was loud and full of pleasure. I clenched around him and he exhaled loudly, thick with enjoyment. Each pump of his body into mine primed me for detonation, and as I closed in on my explosion.


    The bed was squeaking and squealing beneath us. Sweat beaded at his forehead and glossed his face. He looked gorgeous.


    ¡°Mr. Vas-¡± He cut me off,


    ¡°Niki¡­ ¡± he said lightly, but it was a demand full of weight.


    ¡°Niki,¡± I cried out,


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± It rolled from me in an unstoppable and uncontroble wave, ¡°Oh¡­ Niki¡­ Oh¡­Oh..¡± his body hardened like a stone and then we both broke, him only seconds behind me. I jerked and contracted with each shock, and inside I felt the rhythmic pulses of his climax.


    We parted. He fell on the bed beside me,pletely exhausted. He imed my lips again, a long and slow kiss from this beautiful man. He wrapped his arm around me and I gradually began to lose myself again.

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    ¡°Fuck. Fuck. Fuck¡­.¡± I was pacing back and forth in the bathroom while running my fingers through my hair. I can¡¯t believe I did it with him¡­ again.


    ¡°Jesus,¡± I stared at my reflection and tried to calm myself but questions kept flowing inside my head. What if someone finds out that I slept with Niki? This ispletely wrong.


    ¡°Calm down, Julianna¡­ Calm down,¡± I kept muttering and closed my eyes, exhaling slowly. I grabbed the toothbrush and put toothpaste on it. I stared at my reflection while shutting off my mindpletely.


    Niki was still asleep, on my bed, I woke up feeling his breath against my skin and got a chance to look at his handsome face. His sleeping face kept shing in front of me and somehow it calmed me down. His face looks a lot younger when he sleeps, I couldn¡¯t enjoy how good he looked like that.     I was standing in the shower, and everything that happened between us in these past days rushed back to me and I felt disgusted with myself. I slept with the guy, who kidnapped me and was holding me and my best friend captive. He¡¯s a cold-blooded killer and yet I let myself enjoy the way he kissed me, touched me, was inside me, devoured me.


    Am so disgusted by myself.


    After showering, I slowly walked into my room, afraid not to wake him up. I nced at him and noticed him still asleep. I quickly pulled out my undergarments and wore them quietly, I nced back before getting dressed.


    I tiptoed towards the door and slipped out of the room. I don¡¯t know why I feel like running away but I guess I was scared of what his reaction might be this time, after what happenedst time I¡¯m worried to see regret in his eyes again although I¡¯m hating myself for sleeping with him for the second time, I can¡¯t tolerate seeing regret in his eyes.


    I know he said he doesn¡¯t but I can¡¯t face him now. I headed straight towards the kitchen to make breakfast, trying to make myself busy and keep his thoughts away from my mind. I can¡¯t let this lead into something serious, I have to get away from this ce and save Ste.


    This is not what I wanted, my first priority is to know where Ste is, save her and get the hell out of this ce. I can¡¯t let these feelings get in my way. I strolled towards the kitchen and noticed Flora walking through the living room, heading to the kitchen. Hearing my footsteps she looked at me and a smile appeared on her face.


    ***


    I and Penelope headed out of the mansion towards the garden. We were watering the nts, talking to each other but we were suddenly intercepted by Flora. We turned to her and my eyes moved to the boy walking behind her.


    ¡°Roman!¡± Penelope eximed happily and hurried towards him.


    She wrapped her arms around him, ¡°I missed you so much,¡± she kissed his cheek as she moved. His green eyes moved to me and I noticed confusion in them, he had thick eyebrows and brown curly hair, as he smiled at Penelope I noticed dimples on either side of his cheeks. He looked quite familiar to me and I watched him curiously.


    ¡°When did youe?¡± She asked, his eyes moved back to her.


    ¡°Just a few minutes back,¡± he replied,


    ¡°Did you bring Dimitri with you too?¡± she asked,


    ¡°Yes,¡± he replied while turning back and I noticed a german shepherd running towards us. The color of his fur looked beautiful under the sunlight. He looked huge and powerful but to me, he looked like a living teddy bear.


    I watched as Penelope pet him and he kept licking her face. I stood aside and watched Penelope and Flora with Roman and Dimitri. They must be very close to the boy and the dog, I thought while watching them.


    It has been days that I came here and I never saw the boy nor the dog but the way Penelope and Flora are with them made it clear that they live here.


    ¡°Roman¡­¡± Penelope took his hand and led him towards me,


    ¡°This is Julia¡­¡± she said, I bent down to his height and extended my hand towards him with a smile on my face.


    ¡°Hi, Roman,¡±


    ¡°Hello,¡± he said in a cute voice,


    ¡°How old are you handsome,¡± I asked,


    ¡°Ten,¡± he replied and I noticed his cheeks turning red,


    He was tall for her age.


    ¡°He¡¯s Nik¡¯s younger brother,¡± Penelope said,


    ¡°Oh,¡±


    Now, I understand the familiarities.


    ¡°Who is she?¡± he asked Penelope while still holding my hand,


    ¡°She¡¯s a¡­ friend of Nik,¡± she lied,


    Ah, a good friend of his, my subconscious mocked,


    Shut up!


    I noticed Dimitri watching me while sitting beside Flora, I wanted to touch his fur and pet him. I couldn¡¯t stop myself from moving to him.


    ¡°Hey¡­¡± I put my hand straight under his chin and began rubbing, he instantly responded while moving his head up and wagging his tail. He enjoyed it very much and I immediately moved my hand from his chin, he quickly rolled over and I gave a belly rub.


    Penelope and Flora chuckled at Dimitri¡¯s reaction, ¡°God, he likes you and that¡¯s something new and surprising,¡± I hear Floramenting with amusement evident in her tone.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m good with dogs,¡± I smiled while getting on my feet,


    ¡°Roman¡­¡± I heard Niki¡¯s voice and my heart began to beat faster,


    I had been avoiding him and making any kind of eye contact with him as much as I could. Last night events kept shing in my mind.


    His eyes flickered to me before returning to the boy. ¡°It¡¯s getting dark, we should get inside,¡± he said. Roman nodded his head, before turning around Niki¡¯s eyes moved to mine and I saw a promise in his eyes which shook to me my core.


    If I¡¯m right, he woulde to my room tonight for sure.


    Oh god!


    ***


    We were carrying dishes to the dining table and ced them down, to my bad luck I was seated next to Niki. I could feel his eyes on me but I tried my best to not look at him.


    ¡°Since Roman is back, we made all his favourites,¡± Flora announced while smiling at him,


    ¡°Thank you, ¡± Roman smiled politely,


    ¡°Did you enjoy your trip, Roman,¡± Asked n,Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Yes, I made new friends,¡± He replied with a smile,


    ¡°Why don¡¯t tell us about it,¡± Niki asked,


    While listening to Roman I was focused on the te in front of me, suddenly I felt a hand on my thigh. I nced at Niki and noticed him looking smug, his hand was moving under the table up my thigh slowly and I stilled.


    Everyone was indulged in the conversation about Roman while Niki¡¯s hand moved a little closer towards my core and I red at Niki who was engaged in conversation with n. My eyes moved to Flora and Penelope for suspicion but they were also engaged in conversation.


    I moved my hand to his and tried to stop him and move it away but he kept moving my hand towards my core. I sucked in as his fingers moved inside my panty, his fingers spreading my folds. I almost moaned out but covered it up with an awkward cough when I noticed everyone¡¯s eyes zeroed on me.


    ¡°Are you alright dear?¡± Flora asked with concern,


    ¡°Y-Yes,¡± I replied while quickly grabbing the ss of water gulping it down and smiling, ¡°You cooked so well¡­ I couldn¡¯t slow myself¡­¡± I said, smiling at Flora.


    ¡°¡­ Careful, Dear,¡± She replied with a smile and Everyone went back to their conversation.


    Niki¡¯s fingers gripped my sensitive bud and pinched it slightly, I filled my mouth with food afraid of making noise and gaining everyone¡¯s attention. He pushed his finger inside my burning heat and I hissed while lowering my head and gripping the edge of my chair.


    He increased the pace of his finger while everyone was distracted. He plunged another finger inside me and I gasped,


    ¡°Oh-¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes were back onto me,


    ¡°-my god!¡­ Flora¡­. You-your han-hands have some kind of magic in them¡­. how ¡­. How could you cook so¡­ so well,¡± I smiled while shoving food into my mouth and smiling at her.


    ¡°Thank you dear¡­¡± she replied, ¡°¡­ eat slowly¡­ dear,¡±


    ¡°I- I ca-can¡¯t¡­ it¡¯s so delicious,¡± I said,


    Niki¡¯s fingers were thrusting in and out of my core, before I could get caught I quickly grabbed his hand and pushed it out of my dress.


    I red at him but he ignored it and moved his hand up to my thigh again, I quickly stood up grabbing my te. Everyone looked at me,


    ¡°I¡¯m full¡­ excuse me,¡± I said and rushed out of there,


    I ced the te in the sink and pressed my palms over the edge while sucked in a deep breath, ¡°God!¡±


    I couldn¡¯t believe that he did that, where everyone was present. We could have been caught.


    Oh my god!


    As I turned around, my eyesnded on Niki and my heart mmed hard against my chest.


    ¡°Where do you think you are running, Miss. Mitchel,¡±

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    ¡°No-Nowhere,¡± I stuttered while pressing my back to the sink and gulping hard. I couldn¡¯t stop myself from being nervous around him, he has this effect on me that I can¡¯t control. He took a step ahead towards me and my heart began to beat rapidly against my ribcage.


    ¡°Ni-Niki,¡± I nced around, afraid of getting caught.


    ¡°St-stop,¡± I stuttered looking around nervously but he didn¡¯t and cornered me,


    ¡°Nik-¡±


    ¡°Shh..¡± he pressed his finger against my lips,


    ¡°I know you¡¯re wet for me, Miss. Mitchel,¡± he whispered against my ear while moving his hand in between my legs. His hand moving into panty, his fingers tracing my wet pussy,


    ¡°I¡¯ll finish this in your room,¡± he promised, cing a small kiss against my neck, ¡°Stay wet for me, Kitten,¡±


    He let me go and I felt the absence of his warmth so acutely that I shivered. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes, it made me shiver in anticipation. Niki didn¡¯t even touch me and I was so affected.


    Julianna Mitchel, what have you gotten yourself into.


    ***


    I wasying on my bed, trying to sleep but damn, I can¡¯t sleep, all thanks to Niki Vasilev. I can¡¯t believe what happened in the kitchen, he touched me again and I liked it. I always think of staying away from him but whenever he steps closer to me, my body screams for his touch and it¡¯s driving me crazy.


    I never did it with anyone before and whatever I feel right now is making me confused, why am I craving for his touch? Why can¡¯t I control myself? I should hate him and should be disgusted but instead, I want more of him.


    ¡°The fuck!¡± I sat up and pushed my hair back, Suddenly I heard a light knock on the door.


    Holy fucking shit!


    He¡¯s here?


    My heart raced as I heard another knock, I felt anxiety build up in my throat. I slowly got up from my bed, my mind was clouded with hundreds of thoughts and worries that I can¡¯t quite figure out.


    What the freaking fuck is going on here? My subconscious yelled inside my head.


    You are a woman, Julia, you are sexually aroused.


    You hadn¡¯t been touched by a guy in years.


    Your pussy is fucking lonely, it needs fucking attention. Niki is a huge fucking Greek god, he¡¯s hot and handsome and always wore a, ¡°I want to fuck your pussy hard and raw until you can¡¯t fucking walk for days,¡± all the time.


    Jesus! I muttered,


    Who cares if he¡¯s a killer or a mafia don, he fucks you good and leaves you craving for more. Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t want him, Julia, my subconscious continued.


    I want him, yes but I can¡¯t keep doing this. I can¡¯t live here forever doing this with him and forget about my dreams, my family and Ste. He¡¯s a mafia don and a cold blood killer, nothing can change that and no matter how I feel I can¡¯t forget the fact that he killed those men in front of me I responded.


    Sure getting fucked by the man who personally destroyed your life isn¡¯t a good idea, Yeah, my subconscious mocked.


    And¡­ not to forget he calls you kitten¡­ such a bad kitten, Meow meow. it added.


    Shut the fuck up, will you?


    Yeah, go, don¡¯t be a spoil spot and enjoy those fucking pleasures he has to offer. Your lonely vagina needs it, to be honest.


    Jesus Christ!


    I grabbed the knob and pulled the door open. As soon as I opened the door, Niki grabbed my face with both hands and pushed me inside. He turned me over and mmed my back to the door, his mouth descended.


    The moment his lips touched mine I became jelly, I thrust my tongue into his mouth, he scooped me up, our lips still connected. I threw my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.


    He strolled towards my bed and threw me over my soft mattress. Breathing heavily, I watched Niki throw his t-shirt over his head, giving me a beautiful view of his naked chest. He¡¯s so fucking beautiful, his tattoos and most of his skin was covered in ink and his pecs were so defined, every indent and ridge was prominent. I wanted to trace every muscle with the tip of my tongue, and maybe even explore his pierced nipples.


    ¡°Remove this piece of fabric off your skin, Kitten,¡± he ordered,


    Inhaling deeply, my fingers grasped the hem of my top and tugged. Niki was on his knees on the bed, helping me remove my tank top and throw it to the floor.


    ¡°Your pants¡­ take them off,¡± he told me,


    I looked into his eyes and what I saw floored me. It was the purest and simplest form of lust. The most primal. The kind of lust that the Bible talks about. It broke me, that look in Niki¡¯s eyes. Turned me into putty. Made me pull my pants and underwear down in one fluid motion. I kicked them off, now lying on the bedpletely naked.


    ¡°Did you stay wet for me¡­ like I told you to,¡± he asked,


    I swallowed hard before replying to him, ¡°Maybe,¡±


    ¡°Maybe huh!¡± he chuckled while moving between my legs, his hot breath hitting my thighs. He ced soft feather-like kisses inside of my thighs. I closed my eyes and my mind went blissfully nk as when I felt his tongue swipe its way up my opening and lick my lit. A myriad of sensations swept through me.


    He parted the lips of my pusy with his fingers, driving his tongue inside me. The sound of my own wetness further aroused me. I had never known anything could be this gratifying, this intense. Thest time he did this to me left jelly inside out and I fucking loved it so much. It felt as though every nerve in my body had been in hibernation until this very moment. Niki elicited my cries, my moans, and finally, my orgam.


    My climax shook me to the very core and scared me with intensity. If he keeps doing this to me I would never want to leave him or this ce. Niki¡¯s name was on my tongue, on my lips and held me until I came crashing down to the earth.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    I desperately needed air. Niki moved over my body and my eyes were still closed. I could feel his hot breath on my eyes which made me open my eyes forcefully. He is so beautiful, this man is so breathtakingly beautiful, his hair was standing everywhere, flying across his forehead. I yearned to push it away but my arms were useless.


    He pressed the index finger over my lower lip, ¡°Suck,¡± hemanded.


    Just that one word and I was wet all over again. I pulled his finger into my mouth, tasting the foreign tang of my own cum. It wasn¡¯t exactly ambrosia, but it wasn¡¯t bad, either. Niki¡¯s eyes had darkened. He thrust another finger into my mouth, and I sucked on them as if I were sucking on his dik. The idea of giving him a blowjob intrigued me.


    He slid his fingers from between my lips and kissed me, his tongue flickering out to taste the remnants of myself on my tongue. I realized that I¡¯d been lifting my hips again, pressing my throbbing pusy against his crotch. It was a blissful feeling, the friction that his jeans provided. I could¡¯vee just from that but Niki wasn¡¯t about to let me.


    He was like a jaguar, sleek and agile, as he got off the bed, standing at his full height. I was breathless just looking at him.


    ¡°Unzip me, Julianna,¡± he said, his voice gruff.


    The way my name rolled off his tongue and the way he dragged my name made me shudder inside. I swallowed with difficulty, my throat dry. I sat up and crawled to the side of the bed, kneeling in front of Niki. His arms were at his side, his hands balled into fists. Before I went for his jeans, I ran the tip of my finger down the trail of soft hair below his navel. His abdomen tensed beneath my finger, but he did nothing.


    I popped the button of his jeans and slowly dragged the zipper down. It sounded ridiculously loud, or maybe that was just me. Our eyes locked as I yanked his jeans down his hips, taking his cotton boxers with it. I was now eye-level with his dik, able to see every vein, every drop of liquid seeping from the head. He was impossibly hard, ramrod straight and intimidating. He was big, that much I know but I never thought he would be so turned on because of me.


    And looking at his hard dick, I was so fucking wet.


    I want this huge dick inside me.


    Screw everything, I want this.


    Finally, My subconscious murmured.

 Chapter 26

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    I swallowed hard looking at his member and his eyes watched me intensely, even though we are doing it the third time I still feel like it was the first time. I couldn¡¯t tear my eyes off him. He stared at my naked self and his Adam¡¯s apple moved up and down.


    ¡°You are gorgeous,¡± he rasped, stroking his length.


    ¡°Do you want me inside you?¡± he asked,


    I nodded my head, not trusting myself to be able to speak.


    ¡°Say it, Julianna, say the words,¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡­. I want you¡­ inside me,¡± I said,


    As soon as those words left my mouth, he climbed onto the bed and pushed my thighs further apart. He made a soft sound in his throat, burying his fingers to the knuckles deep within me and pulling them out, repeating the motion. Spread the lips of my pusy wide open and fucked me this way. He set a slow rhythm like that and it was quickly driving me out of my mind.


    Desperate. I could smell myself in the air, the kind of smell that screamed of lust and satisfaction and all things pleasurable. The warm liquid of my release trailed down my thighs. Panting,


    ¡°Niki.¡± I moaned at the first feel of his peni against me.


    ¡°God!¡± he rumbled while pressing his hands on my hips, pulling me down to meet him. He didn¡¯t give time to adjust to his size before he drew back and thrust into me. I moaned again. Loudly. It was too much, just too much. I was still too tight and he was still too big and when he gained momentum, his skin pping against mine, I realized that passing out from pleasure could actually be a reality.


    I felt filled by him, surrounded entirely by him. He was a savage power, a dangerous presence. He set a lightning pace, driving himself in and out, in and out of me. Driving me ecstatic with pleasure.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I was gasping, over and over and over, like a chant.


    I don¡¯t know why I was saying yes, yes, yes all the time but I couldn¡¯t control myself at all.


    At this moment between us, the only thing I cared about was the thrilling feeling of losing myself in an orgasm. It was fast approaching again, I could tell. The now-familiar heat in my belly, warming my insides and burning my skin. It was intensifying, growing to a raging inferno inside.


    ¡°Fuck,¡± he groaned loudly while mming inside me so painfully,


    He¡¯d hit something, likely my cervix, and I cried out. He wasing, his cok throbbing inside me as he released himself. Feeling him so deep inside me, hearing him lose control, threw me over. I cried when I came; actual tears pooled at the corners of my eyes. Niki¡¯s climax became mine until I was exhausted from feeling too much, from the mere agony of being so greatly satisfied.


    I felt punched when it was over, My pulse was too quick and my skin felt sticky. Niki¡¯s body covered mine, his chest rising and falling with every breath he took. He was still inside me, still part of me.


    He stared at me while breathing hard, his fingers moved to my face and pushed those few wet strands of my hair away from my forehead. He ced a kiss over my forehead before slowly pulling out of me.


    He moved away and when my eyes moved to his naked form, I struggled to breathe again. Heid beside me, His lips collided against mine, soft and hard. A soft moan left my lips and his tongue slipped inside, tangling with mine. He kissed me until I forgot everything but his name. Niki¡¯s hard body was pressed against mine, my breasts crushed against him. It felt like every inch of him was touching me  including the wet,tex-encased erection he was currently poking against my belly. Eventually, we pulled apart, our heavy breathing filling the silence.


    He slowly got up from the bed and began dressing up and I quietly stared at him. He turned to me and snatched my ruined panties from the floor. He put them to his nose, inhaling loudly.


    Horrified, I tried to rip them from his hands. ¡°Niki, stop doing that,¡± I hissed. ¡°Give them to me.¡±


    He gave me a sly grin, holding them out of my reach. ¡°You¡¯re adorable, you know that kitten?¡± I red at him and he chuckled loudly before throwing my panty at me.


    ¡°I have work toplete or else I can fuk all night.¡±


    I gulped. ¡°Pretty sure¡­. overdosing on Viagra can have a negative oue on your¡­. On your peni.¡± I nced at his manhood.


    ¡°Sticks and stones, kitten. Sticks and stones,¡± he said, chuckling.


    I watched him walk out of my room, realizing not for the first time that Niki Vasilev was beginning to grow on me.


    Kind of like a painful pimple that would hurt you when you touch it.


    ****


    The next day, I had been working in the kitchen and in the garden the whole day. I was so tired and exhausted. I nced at my wristwatch and decided to take a rest and sleep for something. I washed my hands in the sink and walked out of the kitchen.


    Last night events rushed to my mind. I never thought I would have sex with someone I identally bumped into while running from another. Ste had been pushing me to have sex but I don¡¯t I waited so long to have sex, to be honest.


    Suddenly I bumped into someone, ¡°What the..¡±  my eyes swivelled up to look into the greenest eyes I¡¯d ever seen. My mouth went dry and fear sent a spidery feeling down my spine. I moved away immediately. He was dressed in an expensive-looking suit. His hair was thick and tousled; his shoulders broad.


    ¡°I-I¡¯m sorry,¡± I mumbled immediately,


    His eyes were cold and empty, I gulped hard and quickly turned towards the stairs and froze when my eyesnded on Niki. He was walking downstairs, dressed in an expensive-looking pinstriped suit. He looked mouth-watering.


    Oh! I like that, my subconscious murmured.


    As he walked towards me and stopped in front of me with his eyes staring at me and the man behind me in confusion. I was standing still in between these two men and I could feel the temperature in the room increase.

    Who is he?


    I stared at him with curious eyes while they both were climbing the stairs; this Lorenzo guy is creepy. He gives a serious dominant vibe and looks like a dangerous man. The kind of man people stay away from or don¡¯t mess with.     Who is he though?     Are Niki friends with these kinds of scary people?     Of course, he is a Russian mafia don, what do you expect? My subconscious replied.     Yeah¡­     ¡°Julia?¡± Penelope¡¯s voice reached my ears,     ¡°Huh?¡± I turned back,     ¡°Why are you standing here?¡± she asked, confused.     ¡°I¡­. I was going back to my room¡­ I¡¯m exhausted,¡± I replied,     ¡°Oh, you should, you work a lot¡­¡± she smiled.     ***


    Later that day, after having a good sleep I headed out towards the garden. I had my mind wrapped around the fact that I loved the sex part with Niki. I feel like I¡¯m in a seventeen years old body.     I shook my head and tried to get out of it, all of a sudden I heard giggles and chatters from the living room. I nced in the direction of it and saw a woman with a beautiful girl in her arms. She looked familiar to me, she¡¯s adorable though.     The woman beside the girl looked like her mother, she¡¯s of average height and looked quite beautiful. She was with Flora, Penelope, and Roman. They sat down on the couch and were chatting. I noticed Roman sitting beside her and Dimitri wagging his tail.     Who is she?     ¡°I¡¯m so happy dear,¡± Flora said while holding her hand.     ¡°I¡¯m excited for another Francisco, Venessa,¡± Penelope said with an excited expression on her face. Hearing my footsteps everyone turned to me,     ¡°Venessa¡­ meet Julianna Mitchell, she¡¯s one of Niki¡¯s¡­ friend, she live with us,¡± Flora introduced me to her, Venessa smiled at me. She looked quite young and she had a beautiful smile.     Friend huh! My subconscious mocked.     ¡°Hello,¡± she greeted,     ¡°Julianna¡­Meet Venessa Francisco, she¡¯s Lorenzo¡¯s wife,¡± Flora introduced,     Italians?     I was confused.     ¡°Hi, nice to meet you,¡± I smiled back, my eyes moved to the baby girl beside her and I couldn¡¯t stop myself from moving towards her.     ¡°And¡­ who is this beautiful Baby girl,¡± I asked while lifting her up in my arms, she giggled and it was so adorable.     ¡°She¡¯s Milina¡­ Milly, my daughter,¡± Venessa smiles,     ¡°Milina¡­ Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl,¡± I said holding Milly in my arms,     ¡°Thank you,¡± she replied with a cute smile and blush,     Everyone chuckled looking at her blush, Venessa was easy going. She has this homely vibe that makes everyone around herfortable with her. I liked her.     ¡°So¡­ you live in Los Angeles?¡± I asked, we were sitting in the garden and were just two of us.     ¡°Lorenzo¡¯s business headquarters is at Los Angeles but we do visit Italy often¡­ but now, the doctor advised me not travel much,¡± she replied,     ¡°Why?¡± I asked while pouring coffee in an empty cup,     ¡°because of my pregnancy,¡± She smiled while cing her hand over her belly,     ¡°Oh my, congrattions,¡± I offered the cup with a huge smile on my face,     ¡°Thank you, Julianna,¡±     ¡°Please, you can call me Julia,¡±


    ¡°Second?¡± I asked while ncing at her belly,     ¡°Yes,¡± she replied while ncing down, ¡°You should visit us once, Julia, I¡¯d love to show you around,¡±     I wish I could tell her that I was kidnapped and held against my will here.     ¡°Sure,¡± I replied,     My eyes caught the sight of Dimitri ying with Milly and Roman, they looked so cute.     ¡°How old is she?¡± I asked while watching Milly,     ¡°She just turned four¡± She replied, ¡°Time flowed faster than ever,¡± I could see the love for her daughter in her eyes and made me remember my mom. I never saw any kind of love or affection for me in my mother eyes, it makes me wonder whether or not am I her daughter.     She always shouts at me, made me feel ugly and unfit to be her daughter. She loved my sister more than me and always showered her with love. I wonder why? Is she not my mother?     Growing up I had tons of doubts and questions inside my head about my parents but then I realised why do I care. If they love my sister more than me, then it¡¯s fine, she¡¯s my sister of course, and it¡¯s not wrong. I can¡¯t make them love me instead of my sister but I wish they could have treated us equally rather than this.     They can love her as much as they want but I just wanted them to show just a tiny bit of affection for me but I never received any, then I decided to move out of their house for my self-peace but, I ask myself every single day did I ever got that self-peace? I don¡¯t know the answer to that question.     I did lose my self-confidence, their behaviour towards me lose my self-esteem and dought myself all the time. I wish I had a mother who loved me and treated me right.     ¡°Mama,¡± I hear Milly running towards Venessa with Dimitri on her tail, chasing her.     ¡°Careful, Milly,¡± Venessa held her as she tripped and was about to fall,     ¡°Mamma, Dimitri, Dimitri,¡± She giggled while pointing at him,     ¡°Dimitri, Stop,¡± Shemanded and he stopped and sat down.     ¡°Good boy,¡± She bent down and stroked his fur.     I watched Dimitri wagging his tail nonstop. Venessa must be close to this family, I wonder what rtionship she and her husband have with Niki.     I¡¯m curious.     ¡°Hey,¡± I hear Penelope¡¯s voice from behind and I turned back,     ¡°Get inside, Dinner is ready,¡± She yelled while gesturing to get in. I nced at Venessa and we chuckled out loud.     ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±     We headed inside and as soon as I entered the dining hall, my eye met Niki¡¯s and he winked at me. I quickly looked away. I don¡¯t know why I did that but I can¡¯t have eye contact with him right now. I could feel my cheeks flushing at his simple action.     What the hell? Stop blushing you, idiot!     Stop it.     Stop it.     I nced at the seat beside him and what happenedst time rushed to my mind, I swallowed hard and skipped that seat and sat next to Penelope. His eyes followed my action, I noticed the raging anger in his eyes which shook my insides.     Oh god!     I nced at him and saw his jaw clenched, his eyes literally ring at me. He signalled me with his eyes toe and sit beside him. I shook my head while quickly looking away. My heart was pounding inside my chest as I felt his intense re on me.     I was scared of someone noticing us. I don¡¯t want anyone to know about me hooking up with my captor. I feel ashamed as well good, I like having sex with him but am also ashamed of myself for that.     My feelings are quiteplicated.

 Chapter 28

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    I stared at my dish in front of me, trying topletely ignore the asional re Niki was throwing at me. My heart kept pounding inside and I was anxious. Everyone was busy in a conversation, but I could feel the changing atmosphere.


    Jesus!


    I tried my best to ignore him but I couldn¡¯t. I began shoving my food into my mouth and getting the hell out of here as soon as possible.


    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a girl, I think it¡¯s a boy,¡± I heard Flora¡¯s voice, I nced at her and tried to get myself engaged in the conversation. I nced at Enzo and Venessa, they were ncing at each other with a smile on their faces.


    I could feel the love and affection they have for each other, it¡¯s beautiful to see them deeply in love.


    ¡°Let¡¯s ask Milly,¡± Penelope said,


    ¡°Milly dear, who do you want? A brother or a sister?¡± She asked turning to Milly,


    ¡°I want both,¡± She replied with an excited expression. Everyone chuckled at her reply and it somehow lightened the atmosphere.


    After having dinner, I headed straight to my room. I was trying hard to sleep but I couldn¡¯t, I kept tossing and turning. The way he red at me throughout the dinner was scary, I couldn¡¯t take it out of my mind.


    God!


    He can be scary at times.


    I sighed and closed my eyes, as I was about to slip into darkness, there was a knock on my door. My heart kept pounding inside my chest and I immediately sat up.


    God, it must be Niki!


    Holy Cow!


    I slowly got up from the bed and strolled towards the door. As soon as I opened the door Niki pushed me inside and shut the door close with a kick. I was breathing hard and my throat went dry.


    He looked pissed.


    His eyes were staring at me like a hawk and it sent a chill down my spine,  ¡°Niki¡­ What are you doing?¡± I asked with a shaky voice,


    I noticed a mischievous glint in his eyes, ¡°You know every well¡­ Julianna,¡± He whispered while bending down and tracing his finger down my cheek.


    ¡°Nik¡­¡±


    ¡°Shhh¡­¡± he pressed his finger on my lips and shut me up,


    I stared at him while gulping hard, ¡°I didn¡¯t like the way you disobeyed me at the dinner¡­. Julianna,¡± his hot breath hit my skin, and the way my name rolled down his tongue made the hair off the back of my neck stand up.


    ¡°I¡­I¡­¡±


    ¡°You need to be punished for that,¡±


    As I heard the word punishment, my senses were high and I could hear my heart pounding harder.


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    ¡°Shhh¡­.¡± he said while stepping back, I quickly stood up.


    ¡°Stay put¡­¡± He ordered me and strolled towards my closet,


    I watched him curiously as he kept searching for something and pushing my clothes aside, my eyes widened as he closed the door and turned to me. He had blind floods and handcuffs in his hands.


    I gulped hard, I couldn¡¯t tear my eyes off the handcuffs.


    ¡°Niki¡­¡±


    ¡°You should have listened to me, Julianna,¡± he ced them on the nightstand.


    I locked my eyes with him as he approached me. They were dark and dangerous, his eyes. I felt myself sinking deeper and deeper into them with every step he took. He cupped my face, he lowered his mouth to mine. This kiss was slow and over before I wanted it to be.


    All of a sudden he pushed me onto the bed and climbed onto me. I gasped and my face was covered with my hair, as I was about to push my hair off my face, he grabbed my hands and cuffed them both.


    ¡°Niki¡­ What are¡­¡± he cut me off with a look, He tied my hands up above my head to the headboard.


    My breathing was ragged.


    ¡°Do you trust me,¡± he asked while holding the blindfolds,


    I nced at the folds and back at him, my throat went dry as I realized what he was going to do.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I nodded my head and a sweet smile appeared on his face.


    As he put blindfolds on my eyes, everything went dark and I could feel all my senses on high alert. I swallowed hard as I felt his cold fingers at the hem of my top, touching my skin. He pushed my top up to my hands.


    I shivered as the cold breeze touched my bare skin, I was tense. I neverid bare with blindfolds and tied up like this ever before but there is some kind of excitement to know what he¡¯s going to do next to me.


    He traced his finger from my neck and trailed it down to my breasts, he snaked a hand behind me to unsp my bra. The bra straps slid down my arms and I whipped it off, feeling how hard my nipples were. I wanted him; I wanted him so badly.


    ¡°You are the most fucking beautiful thing I¡¯ve ever seen, Julianna,¡± Niki said, his voice raspy.


    He dragged my sweatpants down my legs, I wasying on the bed with nothing but a thong. Niki¡¯s hands were on my waist, his fingers yanking at the thince circling my thighs. He pulled. I whimpered. My thong was ruined.


    I could hear some kind of juggling just beside my ear, and it made my heart pound with anticipation. Suddenly I felt ice on my skin and I gasped,


    ¡°Niki,¡±


    I could feel his hot breath, along with the cold touch of the ice on my skin. He dragged the ice down my throat, so slowly. I was breathless. He leisurely dragged the ice down to my breasts, rolling it around my nipple.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    I licked my dry lips as I kept gasping at the coldness, he moved it on the top of my erupted nipple and pressed it down. I huffed aloud. He dragged the ice to my other breast and repeated the process and earned a loud moan from me.


    I could hear him dropping the ice and grabbing one more, he pulled the ice cube down to my belly button, moving it in a circr motion and then tugging it down to my thong. He towed the ice alongside my thince, he pulled the thong off my legs and I was nowpletely naked under him.


    He moved the ice down to my vagina, rubbing it between my wet folds. I moaned while arching my back,


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna eat your pussy, Julianna,¡±


    My brain was fuzzy because I couldn¡¯t have heard him right.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Without saying anything his tongue thrust into my wet pussy, sending electricity crackling up my spine and making my toes curl.


    ¡°Niki,¡± I cried, gazing down at his face between my legs.


    ¡°Oh, God.¡±


    The muffled, ¡°Julianna,¡± he uttered was torture against my flesh. He held my pussy open with his fingers, spearing his tongue inside me and licking me out. The thrusting of his tongue was almost as powerful as the thrusting of his cock, and I found myself grinding myself against him, driving him deeper and deeper into my wet center. I realized that I was fucking him, no, fucking his face, and that thought alone made me wet. Made me cry his name again and again.


    My hands were gripping the headboard so tight that I felt I could break it. I threw my head back, eyes rolling back. I can¡¯t see anything but hear his groans and the sounds his tongue made. Pleasure wed at my skin, making it unbearable to withstand. I wanted to scream that it was enough, that he was going to kill me with his tongue, with his fingers, with his teeth¡­ The sucking, the fingering, the licking.. it became too much.


    Every muscle in my body tightened as I erupted into Niki¡¯s mouth. Bliss swept across me, salving the burn his bristly jaw had caused. Niki was groaning, licking me through the aftershocks of my orgasm.


    When I felt a semnce of normal, he flipped me over, pulling me down the bed and pressing his erection against my soaking, sensitive flesh. I could hear him stripped out of his jeans and sheathed his dick so fast. I made a sound of pleasure-pain when he pounded into me. I felt the desperate need for this, for this release. I felt it all with every deep, violent thrust.


    He cursed. I cursed. He grunted. I moaned. He rasped my name; I cried his.


    We were sweaty, sticking to each other like glue, and our harsh breaths melded as one when he pressed his mouth against mine. I came first, legs wrapped tight around Niki and back arching ridiculously. I was limp as Niki chased his own release, his thrusts bing shorter and shorter before he finally came with a roar that rang in my ears.


    ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Ever¡­ Disobey me¡­ Julianna,¡±

 Chapter 29

    Niki¡¯s Pov:-


    I watched her sweaty body under me, her small tongue wetting her swollen lips. She¡¯s damn breathing taking. As she heard my words, she nodded her head obediently while breathing hard, her hands gripping the rope as if her life depended on it.


    Her nipples erupted and screamed for my attention and her neck was covered with sweat, I couldn¡¯t tear my eyes off her body.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    I pulled my dick out and removed her blindfolds, she blinked several times before staring at me while licking her lips. I couldn¡¯t control myself as the hunger for her sweet lips woke inside me. I imed her lips and kissed her, my hands automatically moved to her soft breasts and squeezed them both.


    She hissed as I pinched her nipple hard. I immediately grabbed her hips and flipped her. She gasped at my sudden action and nced back at me. I moved down to her perfect ass cheeks, gripping them and squeezing them.


    ¡°Niki,¡± She moaned as my fingers traced down to her wet pussy, I grabbed her knees and pushed them up. Forcing her to open her legs for me.


    ¡°Open up,¡± Imanded,


    ¡°Show me your sweet cunt, Julianna,¡±


    She moved her legs further and I immediately moved under her, ¡°Sit on my face,¡±


    ¡°What?¡± she asked looking at me,


    ¡°Sit on my face, Julianna, I¡¯m gonna eat you pussy again,¡± I said while smirking at her,


    I immediately went to work, I gripped her inner thighs and spread them apart. My fingers automatically moved to her wet pussy and spread her folds. I could see her sweet pink sex that shined with her wetness. I moved my tongue into her sex before slowly bitting her sensitive bud, her legs ket shivering and I noticed the way she was gripping the headboard as if her life depended on it.


    ¡°Niki!¡± She gasped as I pulled her sex down onto my face and thrust my tongue into her sweet pussy.


    I kept thrusting my tongue into her pussy, like a horny teenager, she began moving her hips, riding my face. Her breasts moved as she moved her hips, meeting my thrusts. She kept screaming my name until she came all over my face. I licked and sucked until she was breathless.


    As she threw her head back and gasped like a fish out of water, I quickly moved and grabbed my dick. I rubbed the base of my dick against her wet pussy,


    ¡°Niki,¡± She moaned out while ncing at me, I could see the lust and desire shining in her eyes.


    As I mmed my dick into her, she made a sound of pain and pleasure. I gripped her hips hard while pounding into her warm and tight sex. The bed began shaking as we fucked each other, she meet my thrust so eagerly that I want to continue to do this to her all night.


    ¡°Julianna¡­¡± I grunted while mming my dick deep into her until she came, I was close to my release and kept pounding into her until I released myselfpletely. I stayed still while breathing heavily, she nced back at me through weary eyes. Her hair was stuck to her sweaty forehead and she was breathing heavily.


    God!


    She¡¯s killing me.


    I can keep this going but I could see that she¡¯s exhausted. I slowly pulled my dick out of her wet pussy and turned her. I reached for handcuffs and removed them off her hands and freed them. She quickly brought her wrists down and I gently held them and rubbed my thumb over those red marks on her skin.


    She¡¯s so delicate.


    Iid beside her and nced at her, she wasn¡¯t looking at me as she was busy pushing her hair off her face. Her cheeks and the tip of her nose turned red because of the activity earlier. I chuckled internally watching her, she turned to me and I could see blushing as she noticed me watching her.


    I wrapped an arm around her and pulled her closer to me, I could feel her blushing hard and trying to save her face from me. I chuckled and pulled her closer to me and she instantly ced her head on my chest.


    We were silent, peacefullyying beside each other until she asked me a question, ¡°Is¡­ Ste alright?¡± I was taken aback by her question, I nced down at her in surprise. She wasn¡¯t looking at me but I noticed seriousness in her tone.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I replied while looking at her,


    Why is she asking me that? Now?


    Wait, what does that mean?


    I stared at her, my mind went nk for a second.


    Is she?


    No! I don¡¯t want to think of it!


    I must¡¯ve misunderstood her?


    She sighed with relief and nced at me, ¡°Thank you for not hurting her,¡±


    Holy shit!


    I couldn¡¯t stop the chain of thoughts that single statement erupted.


    Is she sleeping with me to save Ste?


    A thought rushed to my mind as I watched her sleep on my chest.


    Fuck!


    Unbelievable!


    Did she seriously hook up with me to save her so-called best friend?


    Holy fucking shit!


    How the hell did I not notice it! She had been with me only to distract me from her friend?


    How Dare she?


    I couldn¡¯t contain my anger and Immediately pushed her away. She gasped at my sudden action and stared at me in confusion. Without batting an eye at her, I quickly grabbed my clothes and began dressing up.


    ¡°Niki?¡± She was quite confused,


    ¡°Is¡­ Is everything alright?¡± she asked while watching me.


    I nced at her while clenching my jaw and ring at her, I was desperately controlling myself not to hurt her. She stared at me in confusion and tried to say something but I quickly turned around and walked out of her room.


    I hate it!


    How could I not see it before?


    Fuck! Niki, How can you be so ignorant about all this?


    I pushed the door open and strolled inside in pure anger. I ran my fingers through my hair while clenching my jaw and pacing back and forth.


    Did Julianna use me to save Ste? Did she seduce me and distract me from her?


    How the hell did I let her do this!


    ¡°FUCK!!¡±


    How could she do this to me?


    I thought¡­


    ¡°No!¡± I shook my head and suddenly I felt a sting of pain in my chest, a gasp left my lips as I felt it. I quickly rushed to the night and pulled the drawer, with my trembling fingers I grasped the sheet of pills and popped one of them inside my mouth.


    I could feel the pain in my chest increasing, I quickly grabbed the mug and gulped the water. mming the mug on the nightstand, I pressed my palms over the table while breathing heavily. Sweat began to form on my forehead while I felt the pain slowly disappearing.


    Wiping the water off my mouth with the back of my hand, I straightened.


    ¡°I will make you pay for this!¡±


    ¡°I promise, you will regret messing with me!¡±

 Chapter 30

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-     What happened to him? Why is he angry? Is he angry with me?     Is it something I said?     What did I say that made him leave the room in so much anger?     I had tons of questions roaming in my head, I hardly sleptst night since I was worried about what made him angry with me.     What¡¯s running in his mind?     ¡°Are you alright?¡± I hear Vanessa¡¯s voice and turned to her,     ¡°Huh?¡± I asked,     ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I zoned out again,¡± I chuckled and added, ¡°You were saying?¡±     ¡°Is everything alright?¡± she asked while holding my hand,     ¡°You can tell me if something is bothering you,¡±     ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Vanessa,¡± I said with a smile stered on my face,     ¡°Are you sure?¡±     ¡°Yeah,¡±     ¡°Okay,¡±     I wish I could tell her what¡¯s happening between me and Niki, but I can¡¯t. It¡¯s best if everything between me and Niki stays between us. God, I miss Ste right now. I have to see her; it has been days since I havest seen her and talked to her.     I terribly miss her and her stupid talks.     ***     ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about,¡± Penelope replied,


    ¡°Please, Aunt Pen,¡± Milly requested, looking at Penelope with those puppy eyes.


    She¡¯s cute as a button.


    We were sitting in the living room after having lunch since Vanessa was taking a rest. Me and Penelope decided to take care of Milly. Roman and Dimitri were also sitting with us.


    ¡°Okay, fine, let¡¯s go to my room then,¡± she said, surrendering to Milly¡¯s Cuteness attack.


    ¡°Victory!¡± Milly rushed toward me, we high-fived while giggling together and putting our tongues out at Penelope.


    ¡°You little demon,¡± She chuckled while leading the way.


    Milly requested to take her to Penelope¡¯s room so that we could all dance there but Penelope declined. She doesn¡¯t want us to mess with her clean and tidy room.


    As we entered the room, Penelope closed the door and Milly immediately jumped onto the bed. I turned on the music and we began dancing on poor Penelope¡¯s bed like crazy.


    ¡°Get down from my bed!¡± she yelled at us but we didn¡¯t care and kept jumping on her bed. Since we weren¡¯t listening to her, she grabbed a pillow and began hitting us both with it.


    ¡°Stop it,¡±


    ¡°You!¡± We both grabbed the pillows and began hitting Penelope with them.


    Within seconds, we were pillow fighting with each other. The whole room was filled with ourughter and yells, even Dimitri was barking at us.


    ¡°Take this!¡± Penelope yelled while hitting me hard,


    ¡°You bitch!! Take this, take this!!!¡± I attacked her with multiple hits, Milly and Roman were continuouslyughing at us.


    ¡°Ah! Julia!!¡± She yelled while hitting me back,     ¡°Ha-ha, Take that!¡± I cried out,


    ¡°What the hell is happening here?¡±


    Before I could hit her, I was taken byplete surprise.


    When did Niki arrive?


    He stood at the door, dressed in ck and his face was cold. He looked quite irritated by something. He was standing not far away from me in his tall figure, and his eyes fell on me. I felt my heart almost stop beating for a second.


    I nced at Penelope and saw her, gulping hard and slowly getting down from the bed. I got down from the bed and ced the pillow back on the bed before turning to him.


    ¡°Uncle Nick,¡± Milly rushed towards him, he nced down at her and smiled while lifting her up in his arms. As I turned to him, he shifted his gaze to Penelope and ordered in his low and deep voice.


    ¡°Take her and Roman out,¡±


    She nodded her head and rushed out of the room with Roman and Milly with her, Dimitri followed her behind. I was left alone in the presence of this angry Demon.


    He stared at me with his cold eyes and I was at a loss for words.


    ¡°Follow me,¡± He ordered,     Before I could say something, he just left without saying a word or listening to me. Sighing, I followed him. My heart was beating faster and I was anxious, he¡¯s angry, I could feel waves of rage streaming off his body.


    God!


    As soon as I stepped inside his office, he ordered me to shut the door in such a  high tone that I flinched. I wet my lips in anxiety while turning to him, he sat down on the sofa and wasn¡¯t speaking anything rather than ring at me.


    His eyes were deep and emotionless, and I couldn¡¯tprehend his emotion at all. The tension in the room was so strong that I couldn¡¯t breathe.


    ¡°What were you doing back there?¡± He asked,


    I noticed the way his jaw was clenched and I could feel my legs shivering in fear.


    ¡°I-I,¡± I shuttered,     ¡°Stay away from my family!¡± He gritted his teeth, with so much anger that I was scared for my life.     ¡°Ni-Niki?¡± I was confused and hurt,


    ¡°I don¡¯t want you to mingle with them!¡± He yelled while ring at me as if I was some kind of a disgusting thing.


    I was speechless.


    I didn¡¯t understand what to say or react to his words.


    ¡°You foolish girl!!! You are nothing but a piece of trash¡­¡±


    His words were cold and hurtful.


    ¡°You think you can just be close to my family?¡±


    I was stunned and couldn¡¯t help but feel sad.


    ¡°You are here to work for me! Do you get that? I¡¯m doing a favor by not killing you and that good for nothing friend of yours,¡± he said,


    ¡°B-But, Niki Wh-what did I do?¡± I couldn¡¯t help but ask,


    His sudden changed demeanor and behavior were upsetting me. I wanted to know the reason behind this cold attitude towards me. He wasn¡¯t like this yesterday, what had changed?


    Niki¡¯s expression slowed sinking and the darkness in his eyes became more and more fighting.


    ¡°What did you do? You ask me what you did?¡±


    I nodded my head with tears rolling in my eyes. He clenched his jaw and I noticed him fisting his palm.


    ¡°Get out!¡± He said while ring at me,


    ¡°Nik-¡±All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I said, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!¡± he yelled, his tone was full of hatred and rage.


    Seeing that hatred for me in his eyes, I was taken aback. Hours back, I saw affection for me in those eyes, and now, all I see is hatred and rage.


    I don¡¯t know what I did and why he was so angry at me, but it hurt me. I didn¡¯t notice the tears rolling in my eyes when I felt my top wet because of it.


    I turned around and walked out of his office.


    His words kept running inside my head and I couldn¡¯t stop my tears from streaming down.     What did I do?


    How could he say those hurtful words to me?


    How could he?


    ¡°Julia?¡±


    Vanessa¡¯s voice snapped me out, I nced at her and noticed her looking at me with a confused and worried expression.


    ¡°Are you alright?¡± she asked while cing her hand on my shoulder and I couldn¡¯t control myself. I wrapped my arms around her and cried my heart out.


    ¡°Julia, what happened?¡± she asked while hugging me,


    I kept sobbing.


    ¡°Calm down, Julia, Please,¡±


    ¡°I can-can¡¯t,¡± I sobbed.


    ¡°You need to calm down, Dear,¡± she kept telling me to calm down but the emotions in me were on a rampage.


    I hate it!


    I hate you!


    I hate you, Niki Vasiliev.

 Chapter 31

    ¡°Here, Take this,¡± Vanessa handed me the ss full of water, I was huping, while tears kept streaming down my eyes.


    I nced at her before taking the ss and gulping the water down. She took the empty ss from my hand and ced it on the night table before turning to me.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why are you crying?¡± She asked me,


    I stared at her, debating on what to tell her?


    I can¡¯t tell what had been happening between me and Niki but I can¡¯t keep everything to myself, it was too much to handle by myself.


    ¡°I¡­I had a fight with Niki,¡± I said,


    ¡°Why?¡± she asked,


    ¡°He¡­. he told me¡­¡± I swallowed the lump in my throat as his hurtful words rushed back to my mind.


    ¡°¡­ not to mingle with his family members,¡±


    ¡°Why would he say that?¡± She asked in confusion, I shuddered my shoulders. A fresh set of tears was filling my eyes, ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡±


    ¡°Please don¡¯t cry, Julia,¡± She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me while I let these tears streaming down my cheeks.


    ¡°I¡¯ll talk to him¡­¡± I cut her off,


    ¡°No, please¡­Don¡¯t,¡± I said, holding her hand.


    She sighed deeply, staring at me with concern evident in her eyes.


    ¡°Julia, I hate to see you cry like this, I don¡¯t know why he said that to you but I know him very well¡­ he says stupid things when he¡¯s angry,¡± she said, ¡°He must be in a bad mood and said those things to you, please don¡¯t feel bad¡­¡±


    ¡°Julia,¡± I hear Penelope¡¯s voice and turned in her direction, she was standing at the door and was looking at me.


    ¡°Are you¡­ Okay?¡± she asked while walking towards me, her eyes filled with regret as she noticed my ears strained my face, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, This is¡­.¡±


    I cut her off,


    ¡°No, this is not your fault,¡±


    ¡°But..¡±


    ¡°Please don¡¯t me yourself, Pen, I should have listened to him¡­ I work under him and if he doesn¡¯t want me to get close to his family¡­. Then I won¡¯t,¡±


    ¡°Bullshit,¡± Flora said while walking inside the room, ¡°You are family too, Julia, never say that again,¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    She cut me off, ¡°No buts, Julia,¡±


    I stared at her and noticed the determined look on her face, I couldn¡¯t help but smile at her.


    ***


    Next day,


    I was strolling towards the kitchen for water and noticed Niki walking downstairs while typing something on his phone. I quickly lowered my head and hurried toward the kitchen. I don¡¯t want to face him after what he said to me earlier. I just want to stay away from him, so that I could save myself from getting hurt by him.


    Quietly, I opened the fridge and grabbed the water bottle. I opened the cap and was about to drink, the bottle a few inches away from my lips,


    ¡°Miss. Mitchell?¡±


    ¡°Ah!¡± I was startled by his voice and the water bottle in my hand slipped,


    Whole water slipped on me and the bottlended on the floor, water was streaming from the bottle to the floor. My whole top was drained in water, and my inners were clearly visible as daylight. I swallowed hard before turning to him, His eyes moved from my face to my clothes and moved back to my face.


    He sighed and shook his head, I noticed a small smile appearing at the corner of his lips as he walked towards me while removing his coat off his body.


    ¡°You always seem to attract trouble, Miss. Mitchell,¡± He smirked while putting his coat on me.


    ¡°Huh?¡±  He bent down and lifted me up in bridal style,


    ¡°What are you doing? Niki, Put me down!¡± I began wriggling in his arms.


    ¡°Julianna, Stop it,¡± his grip became harder as I wiggled,


    ¡°No, I will not stop until you put me down,¡± I said, sternly.


    ¡°Put me down, Niki!!!¡± I began wriggling hard,


    ¡°Julia¡­. Julia, St-stop,¡± He ordered but I refused to listen to him,


    ¡°Ah!¡± I screamed as his leg slipped and we both fell down,


    Tud***


    ¡°Can¡¯t you¡­ stay put, at least for once in your life?¡± Niki hissed at me while pooping himself on his elbows and looking at me.


    ¡°What? You are ming me for this too? How is it my fault?¡± I said while looking at him while sitting up.


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s your fault,¡± he said,


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°If you didn¡¯t move the way you did, I would¡¯ve not tripped,¡± he said while sitting up and ring at me.


    ¡°Wow!¡± I stared at him in disbelief, ¡°Who told you to lift me then?¡±


    ¡°I was helping you,¡± He said as if it was obvious


    ¡°Why? I didn¡¯t ask for any kind of help from you,¡±


    ¡°Your clothes were ruined because of your clumsiness and I was helping you, otherwise, I don¡¯t give a damn,¡± he roared,


    ¡°Really?¡± I mocked, ¡°You give so many damns they¡¯re literally visible from space,¡±


    ¡°Yes, It¡¯s my fault, I shouldn¡¯t have tried to help an ungrateful girl like you,¡± he said while pointing his finger at me.


    ¡°Ungrateful?¡± I was shocked at his words,


    ¡°Yes, that you are?¡±


    ¡°You should be thanking me for not killing you that night, Mr. Vasiliev,¡± I said, ring at him.


    ¡°Oh, actually You! should be thanking me, If it¡¯s not for me, you would be buried 6 feet underground by now,¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡°Oh really,¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡±


    ¡°You are a jerk, Mr. Vasiliev,¡± I yelled in anger,


    ¡°And you are an ungrateful brat, Miss. Mitchell,¡±


    ¡°Goddamit, I hate you! I hate your dumb voice and your stupid muscles and your awfully attractive face, Mr. Niki Vasilev, ¡±


    ¡°Mutual feeling, Miss Julianna Mitchell,¡± He yelled back,


    ¡°Fuck you!¡± I shrieked in anger,


    ¡°Would you?¡± I noticed a small smirk ying at the corner of his lips, which pissed me off. Trying to control myself, I pushed my hair back in frustration and noticed that, all this time, I was arguing with him while sitting on hisp.


    Fuck!


    His hand was wrapped around my waist, and none of us was aware of our sitting positions.


    ¡°You are impossible,¡± I red while standing on my feet,


    ¡°You are hopeless,¡± he replied,


    ¡°You!¡­ You are fucking annoying, Mr. Vasiliev,¡± I yelled and turned around to leave but my legs stopped in their tracks as my eyesnded on Vanessa, Pen, Flora, Roman and Milly. They were standing near Kitchen and were watching us.


    ¡°H-How long have you guys been here?¡± I asked, my heart was thumping inside my chest as I felt so embarrassed standing in front of them.


    ¡°From the start,¡± Flora replied,


    ¡°Oh¡­Umm,¡± I turned back to see Niki, standing up.


    ¡°I-I should g-go,¡± I stuttered and rushed towards the stairs,


    ¡°I-I ha-have an important call to make,¡± I heard Niki


    Idiot!

 Chapter 32

    Julianna¡¯s Pov:-


    I always get infuriated because of him. How does he do that to me? I can¡¯t understand. I wish I could just hit him hard in the head and throw all my anger out at him.     ¡°Argh¡­¡± I groaned while throwing a punch in the air,     I sighed deeply, throwing myself on the bed and staring at the ceiling. I pulled my lower lip with a small smile appeared on my face as my mind shed the image of me sitting on hisp. I shook my head and rushed into the bathroom.     ***


    Days went on,     ¡°Well, it had been days since we came here now,¡± Vanessa said while looking at Penelope.     ¡°But, just one day Venn,¡± She requested,     ¡°Lorenzo has some important business back in Los Angeles, Pen, we have to leave,¡± she said,     She sighed with a sad look, ¡°Okay,¡±     ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we will keep visiting often,¡± She smiled while looking at us.     ***


    I would miss Vanessa and Milly so much; I had grown close to both of them. Vanessa had been a good friend to me, she¡¯s a nice woman with a kind nature and her daughter is a sweetheart.     As I was walking toward the kitchen, the smell of fish reached my nose, I felt nausea. I quickly climbed the stairs while trying hard to control myself but the smell made it hard. The waves of nausea made me feel sick.     I literally ran to my bathroom and vomited. I felt sick and my throat felt burned and sore. I washed my mouth and walked out of the bathroom, sitting on my bed, I poured myself water in an empty ss and gulped it down.     ¡°Jesus,¡± I sighed whileying down.     I had been feeling sicktely, don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong. I must have eaten something which upset my stomach or something.     As I stared at the ceiling, thoughts of Niki rushed to my mind. After the past incident between me and Niki, we hadn¡¯t crossed each other¡¯s path again. I only see him at the dining table, he has be quite busy with his work and we hardly see him in the mansion.     I heard Flora saying that Niki is handling some deals with the Spanish mafia, mafia men always seem to have something or other to deal with.     I had been missing his touch ever since he left my room that night, I don¡¯t know what happened? Nor do I know why he began ignoring me? But something did change and I was growing anxious to know why he was doing this.     Tons of thoughts were clouding my mind and I was hardly concentrating on my daily duties in the mansion. I wish I could talk to someone, and share my thoughts, even though I was living among these many people I still feel lonely.


    I don¡¯t know how to describe these feelings of mine; I wish Ste was here. I miss her terribly. I need to talk to Niki about her, I want her here with me. It has been days and I had been doing everything Niki asked me to.


    I stood up from my bed and made my way to his office.


    Hope he listens to my request and brings her here.


    I pulled the door open and stepped out of the room, the mansion was quiet and I guess everyone went their sleep by now since it was quitete. I fear what he might say, it had been days since west talked, and after that night he didn¡¯te to my room at all.


    I was anxious.


    I took a deep breath as I stood in front of his office door, ¡°You can do this,¡± I said to myself before knocking on the door.


    ¡°Come in,¡± Came his deep voice from the other side, I swallowed hard before pushing the door open and stepping in. I see him typing something furiously on hisptop and bundles of files wereying on the table in front of him. He looked busy and stressed.


    I felt sorry for him, he¡¯s overworking. Wish I could help him in any way.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    I cleared my throat to gain his attention and I seeded.


    ¡°Miss. Mitchell?¡± He asked with a look of surprise and confusion,


    Back tost names are we?


    ¡°Hi, um¡­ I want to talk to you about something, Mr. Vasiliev,¡± I said walking towards his desk.


    ¡°Tell me,¡± He replied, shutting hisptop.


    ¡°I¡­ I want to see Ste?¡± I said while looking at him, ¡°it has been days and I did everything you told me to do, please,¡± I requested.


    He stared at me without blinking his eyes as I continued, ¡°Can you please bring her here, just keep us together, please, she¡¯s my bestie¡­ I just can¡¯t stay here knowing she¡¯s held captive by you somewhere¡­ Please,¡±


    There was a heavy silence between us, he was staring at me nkly and I was literally pleading with him through my eyes.     ¡°Mr. Vasiliev, please¡­.¡± I said desperately, ¡°I had been obedient and listened to you till now¡­. I-¡± before I could finish my sentence, he stood up and strolled towards me. His face and features screamed of rage, his jaw clenched and he fitted his hands.


    ¡°Shut up!¡± he roared in anger while grabbing my arms, his grip was harsh and so was his tone. He turned me and pushed me over to his desk, I hissed in pain as my back came in contact with his desk.


    ¡°Mr. Vasiliev?¡± I was shocked at his sudden action,


    ¡°Shut the fuck up,¡± He said, gritting his teeth and gripping my arms harder, ¡°I don¡¯t wanna listen to anything¡­ing from your mouth,¡±


    Tears were rolling down my eyes, I didn¡¯t understand the sudden change in his behaviour. I was hurt. He red at me as if he wanted to eat me alive and, I couldn¡¯t stop my tears as I saw hatred and rage in those blue eyes for me.


    All of a sudden, he beganughing, I was confused. I stared at him as he stepped back and keptughing at me like I was some Jock. My heart was mming against my ribcage as I was hurt and confused at his behaviour.


    After some time, hisughter died down, and stared at me with pity in his eyes, ¡°Poor Julianna,¡± he said while shaking his head. ¡°You are so pathetic,¡±


    I was shocked at his words, ¡°Did you seriously think I would listen to your request just because I slept with you?¡± he asked while tilting his head sideways and looking at me.


    I was speechless.


    He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him, I gasped as I was mmed against his body.


    ¡°You are nothing but a whore, Miss Julianna,¡± he said while ring at me, gritting his teeth, and tightening his grip on my arm.     What?

 Chapter 33

    ¡°What are you saying?¡± I said in confusion, my heart was pounding against my chest in anticipation.


    Please say this is a joke, Niki, please.


    I kept muttering in my¡± head, I wanted to hear him say this is a prank, a joke but nothing else.


    ¡°The truth,¡± he said,


    ¡°You are one of those Whores, I fuck and throw,¡±


    I was staring at him with tears rolling down my cheeks, I felt my heart breaking inside. The intense feeling of betrayal was growing inside me.


    ¡°What made you think you are any special to me?¡± he said,


    All those things he said to me when we were having sex rushed to my mind, and by the time I realized those lies which came out of his mouth were his method of getting me to his bed, I was broken.


    My heart broke into a million pieces.


    ¡°Wait a damn second, you thought this was all real?¡±


    I didn¡¯t reply and stared at him in disbelief, ¡°Poor, Miss. Julianna Mitchell,¡± he said with a sympathetic look on his face while pushing a strand of my hair off my face.


    All of a sudden, he turned me around and bent me over his desk.


    ¡°Bitches like you don¡¯t deserve my kindness,¡± He spat those hurtful words while grabbing both my arms and twisting and, pressing them on my back.


    ¡°Niki! Please!¡± I cried out in pain, I kept wiggling but his strong grip held me in ce. As I heard the sound of a belt I panicked and began yelling at him to leave me.


    He tied both my hands with the belt and grabbed a fist of my hair, pulled my head back. His hot breath was hitting my ear as he whispered, ¡°Sluts like you deserve this, Julianna,¡±


    He pushed my legs further apart while moving in between my legs, his hands travelled towards my pants and pulled them. I was now standing in my underwear, yelling at him to leave me but hepletely ignored me.


    ¡°Sluts like you should be bent down and fucked from behind, you don¡¯t deserve lovemaking¡­ Bitches like you deserve punishments,¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch me,¡± I yelled angrily at him, I was pissed at myself and him but I can¡¯t control the sparks running through my veins as he ran his palm over my bare butt cheeks.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want this,¡± he groaned while ripping panties off my skin, his rough and big hands gripped my hips. He pped my butt cheeks hard and a squeal left my lips, another harsh p followed and a cry left my lips.


    He continued smacking my butt cheeks harder and harder. By the time, he stopped, my buttock felt numb and I was sobbing in pain, I¡¯m sure they turned as red as a tomato.


    ¡°Your butt deserves my handprints on them¡­ I¡¯d love to see them red like this,¡± He spat.


    He pushed my sore butt cheeks further and his hot breath hit my sensitive spot. I sucked in a breath as he licked my bare pussy.


    His hot tongue mmed inside my pussy hole and I gasped for air, he thrust his tongue in and out while I kept moaning and crying in pleasure.


    ¡°Ah! Oh! Niki,¡± I moaned while he thrust his tongue hard into my pussy, his fingers were digging into my skin while he continued eating my pussy. I cried out as I released, he immediately moved back and I heard him unbutton his pant.


    ¡°Moan for me, Miss. Mitchell,¡± he said while winking at me with an arrogant smirk on his lips before mming his length into my pussy hard. The impact had the desk move a bit, ¡°Ah!¡± I moaned and my eyes rolled back.


    I felt my legs turn to jelly as he thrust in and out of my wet pussy, his hands were gripping my hips hard as he mmed himself into me. I was moaning and crying out loud.


    ¡°Oh!¡± I moaned while gripping the edge of the desk,


    ¡°Do you like that, Bitch?¡± he grunted, pping my ass while thrusting into me.


    ¡°Ah! OH! Niki!¡± I moaned,


    ¡°Ah,¡± He groaned while fucking me hard, he grabbed a fist of my hair and pulled my head back,


    ¡°Moan for me, Julianna,¡± He whispered while biting my earlobe.


    ¡°Oh! Niki,¡± I moaned while my eyes rolled back and I came hard.


    He kept mming himself harder until he came inside me. we were breathing hard, sweating heavily even though the air conditioning was on high. He pulled his dick out and stepped back, I was still trying to control my breathing while I heard him buttoning his pants.


    As the reality hit back to me, anger and disappointment rushed to me. I turned and wore my pants, with tears rolling in my eyes I grabbed my tore panty and rushed out of the office without meeting his eyes.


    I was sobbing while running towards my room, tears streaming down my eyes as his words echoed in my head. With his mockingugh and his hurtful words, I waspletely wrong about him.


    Niki Vasiliev is a monster. he¡¯s a heartless, maniptive, selfish monster and I need to get out of his mansion.


    Alive or dead.


    ***


    I grabbed a small bag from the closet and packed It with some clothes since Vanessa and Lorenzo are living on the ind tomorrow, I was to escape with them. I can¡¯t use Vanessa in this but I have to get into their boat without them noticing and escape this ind at any coast.


    I prepared everything and wore my bag before sneaking out of the mansion. There were tons of bodyguards guarding the mansion, on all the sides, it was quite intimidating. From the days I¡¯ve been here, I had memorized everything about the mansion.


    The biggest advantage if at all to escape from this mansion is to use the lined-up trees and the darkness of the night. I intend to use the advantage now; I tip toyed towards the tree and hid behind it as soon as one of the bodyguards turned back.


    My heart was pounding against my ribcage and the fear of getting caught made me more careful. I can¡¯t just stay in this mansion and beg Niki to let me see Ste, I have to do something, and getting out of this mansion is the only option left.


    I can¡¯t go to the authorities because I don¡¯t have any kind of evidence against Niki and it would be a dumb action since I know who the hell Niki Vasiliev is. He can easily manipte the authorities using his means.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Jesus Christ, please help me!


    I took a deep breath and tiptoed towards the next tree, sneaking while hiding behind the trees, not getting the attention of the bodyguard was damn hard and stressful.


    I was damn scared but I was determined to get away which made me exceed in leaving the mansion. I was now walking into the thick forest, strolling on the road. I noticed two yachts at the dock, one was luxurious and the other one is normal.


    That must be Lorenzo¡¯s yacht.

 Chapter 34

    I checked if someone was there before climbing onto the yacht, it was beautiful and quite big. I was in a hurry and I didn¡¯t want to get caught so I made it quick. I walked inside the yacht and made my way to the backside of it which is the Crew quarters. I carefully crossed the engine room and entered the Crew quarters.


    I hear something moving behind me, my heart began pounding against my ribcage, I stilled and my breathing went rapid, I swallowed hard and began praying to god.


    I slowly turned back and saw nothing, the sound was made by the wind. I sighed deeply while cing a hand over my chest, ¡°Thank god, it¡¯s nothing,¡± I muttered before turning back.


    There were multiple rooms but some of them were locked, I chose the unlockedst room and rushed inside it. It was a cosy ce, it had a soft bed, beside it a desk and cupboard.


    I opened the cupboard and ced my bag inside and locked it. I wish I woulde here on time and everything goes ording to n. I wanted to stay here and wait until Vanessa and her family arrive here and leave the ind on the ship but it would be a bad idea. If I don¡¯te to bid her goodbye when she¡¯s leaving the mansion, Vanessa and others would notice I was missing and this ship wouldn¡¯t leave.


    It¡¯s best if I go back now, only then I can execute my n.


    I immediately rushed out of the yacht and got back to the mansion. I see all the bodyguards who were guarding the mansion changing their positions and it was the perfect time to enter the mansion. Since there would be five to ten minutes time for the other shift to start.     Without grabbing anyone¡¯s attention I entered the mansion and I was walking through the living room, suddenly I heard two bodyguards walking towards the living room. I panicked and rushed into the kitchen and hid behind the counter.     ¡°Well, I don¡¯t know about that,¡± One of the bodyguards said to the other,     ¡°I¡¯m sure that was the reason why the boss went there,¡± the other one said,     ¡°Perhaps,¡±     I don¡¯t know what they are talking about but they were surely referring to Niki. After they both left, I quickly went back to my room and locked the door as soon as I stepped inside.


    I rushed towards my bed andid down, ¡°I wish this nightes to an end soon,¡± I muttered before closing my eyes and slipping into a slumber.     ***


    Knock***


    I woke up as I heard a knock on the door, yawing, I got up and made my way towards the door. Pen was standing outside, a smile appeared on her lips as her eyesnded on me.     ¡°Good morning,¡± she greeted before getting in,     ¡°Morning,¡± I greeted back,     ¡°I got something for you,¡± she said while sitting on the bed,     ¡°What?¡± I asked, walking towards her while shutting the door.     ¡°This,¡± She said while showing a pregnancy kit,     ¡°What?¡± I was shocked and stared at her in surprise,     ¡°Well, I noticed that you¡¯ve been vomiting a lottely, and¡­ when did you have your period?¡±     As she asked me that, I realized, I missed my periods.     Holy fuck!     I stared at her with a horrified look on my face, I was scared.     ¡°By that look on your face¡­. You missed them, didn¡¯t you?¡± She asked,     I nodded my head at her while gulping hard.     ¡°I knew it,¡± she smiled,     ¡°Well, I knew you two were banging each other, Julia,¡± She said, noticing the look on my face, with a cunning smile on her lips.


    ¡°I¡¯d notice the tension between you two from day one,¡±     I sighed while sitting beside her.     ¡°Take this,¡± she said, putting the kit in my hand.     ¡°I¡¯ll be here, go and check,¡± she urged me. I slowly got up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom.     ***


    I was in the bathroom, staring at the red lines of the kit. This was the fifth one I used and all of them showed two lines indicating I was indeed pregnant. My legs were shivering and I was tensed.     I don¡¯t know how to react.


    Happy? Sad? Angry? Scared? Dissapointed?This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    I don¡¯t know what I feel.     Penelope had a huge smile on her face as she stared at the lines, standing at the door. She looked happy but was I?     What should I do now?     I¡¯m pregnant with Niki¡¯s Child, the man who fucked me for pleasure and threw me away like a used tissue.     ¡°Congrattions, Julianna, You are pregnant,¡± She jumped and hugged me,     ¡°Thank you,¡± I replied and hugged her back,     I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m feeling right now, but there is fear of losing this baby. What if Niki doesn¡¯t want this baby and forces me to abort it?


    I had tons of questions running wild in my head.     ¡°I will inform, Nik about it,¡± Pen said and turned back,     ¡°No, wait,¡± I said grabbing her hand.     She looked at me in confusion, ¡°I will tell him,¡± I said with a forced smile, ¡°It would be a¡­. surprise,¡± I added.     ¡°Please don¡¯t tell this to anyone until then,¡± I requested,     ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my lips are tight, your secret is safe with me,¡± She promised while holding my hand.     ¡°but¡­ I¡¯m very happy for you, Julia,¡± she said while holding my hand, squeezing them. she walked out of the room, leaving me with my thoughts. I want this baby, I always wanted to be a mother but I¡¯m scared for the future of this baby.     I guess, this adds one more reason for me to leave this ce.     I will never, ever let my child grow in a ce where his/her mother has been kidnapped and held captive.     I sat down on the bed and ced my hand on my belly, ¡°I will take you far away from your awful father and never let his shadow fall on you, baby,¡±     Tears were rolling down my eyes, ¡°All my life, I craved for my mother¡¯s love but she always preferred my sister over me, she loved her more than me¡­ but I will not do that to you, I will love you more than anything,¡± I wiped my tears, ¡°I promise, I will never ever let anyone hurt you¡± I promised.     This is the promise I make to you, my dear baby.

 Chapter 35

    We were standing out of the mansion, bidding Vanessa and Lorenzo goodbye as they were leaving the ind.


    ¡°Please take care of yourself, Pen,¡± Vanessa said while hugging Pen,


    ¡°I will, and you both take care of each other and also my Milly and our little Lorenzo here,¡± she said and everyone chuckled at her words including Niki. I nced at him and noticed him looking at Vanessa, his eyes watching her in admiration.


    He never looks at anyone the way he¡¯s looking at Vanessa. I stood there like a statue, watching him, watching her as if she was the only one he ever wanted. It erupted an ache inside my chest, and my breathing heavily.


    The look of longing in his eyes was evident, his eyes screamed of want for something forbidden. Looking at him, I waspletely taken aback. I wish what I¡¯m seeing in his is not real, it¡¯s just my imagination or something.


    But no!


    No matter how many times, I blinked and shook my head. It wasn¡¯t my imagination.  It was all real, his eyes screaming that he loved her.


    Niki loved his Brother¡¯s Wife and it was shocking. I can¡¯t fucking believe what I¡¯m seeing.


    I swallowed hard and tore my eyes off him, I felt my heart breaking into a million pieces. Tears rolled in my eyes, and my throat dried.


    ¡°Julianna,¡± I hear Vanessa¡¯s Voice. I quickly forced a smile and turned to her,  she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me.


    ¡°Take care of yourself, Juliana,¡± She said,


    ¡°I¡¯m always there for you,¡± she added while wiping those tears which I didn¡¯t notice were flowing down my eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m just one call away from you, Juliana, Don¡¯t forget that,¡± She said while smiling at me.


    ¡°Yeah,¡± I smiled while wiping my tears,


    She turned to her husband who smiled at her and took her hand in his. I nced at Niki and noticed his eyes flickering at Lorenzo¡¯s hand which was holding Vanessa¡¯s.


    I turned away and tried my best to control myself.


    ¡°Bye,¡± Milly waved at us while getting inside the car.


    We waved our hands at them as they drove off.


    As I was walking inside the mansion, I noticed Penelope walking beside me and turned to her. She gave a smile and I couldn¡¯t stop myself. ¡°Pen, can I ask you something?¡±


    ¡°Anything,¡± she replied,


    ¡°What is it¡­. Between Niki and¡­ Vanessa?¡± I asked,


    She sighed before turning to me, ¡°Well¡­ They had a thing back then,¡± She said and hearing her, I felt my heart sink.


    ¡°But¡­ It wasn¡¯t mutual, She was already married to Lorenzo¡­ so Nik didn¡¯t have a chance and he knew it from day one,¡± she continued and told everything that happened between them.


    ¡°He moved on and I think his feelings for her also died down,¡± she said before walking inside the kitchen. I don¡¯t think his feelings for her died down. He still has feelings for her.


    I can¡¯t believe what¡¯s been happening to me these past few days.


    What have I gotten myself into?


    I had slept with a guy who loves someone else and treats me like trash, now I¡¯m pregnant with his child. All these things were pushing me to leave this mansion soon for good. They were adding in and giving me a strong reason to disappear from this mansion and as well as Niki¡¯s life for my sake and also my child¡¯s.


    Shutting my mind, I rushed to my room. I sat down on my bed and counted to ten.


    I rose on my legs and rushed out of my room, without grabbing anyone¡¯s attention. I walked to the backyard of the mansion, since I had gained everyone¡¯s trust, the bodyguards stopped putting their attention on me as they did at the beginning.


    Last night, I discovered a shortcut to the yacht and decided to go on that route. If I use this route, I could reach the yacht before them. My heart was pounding inside my chest as I made a run into the woods. I was sweating and out of breath, I stopped and pressed my back to the tree trunk for a minute before running again.


    I reached the yacht and watched the crew waiting for Lorenzo and Vanessa on the other side, looking like they hadn¡¯t reached it yet. The crew were a few meters away from the yacht and were busy with themselves. I took the opportunity and sneaked into the yacht.


    I carefully sneaked inside the room I ced my bagst night and locked the door. I sat on the bed and released a breath of relief as I was sessful in my n. Now, I have to wait until this yacht moves and leaves this ind.


    God please, please make me leave this ind as soon as possible, Please.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    I can¡¯t wait to get away from this Ind.


    After waiting for 20 minutes, the Yacht began to move. I had happy tears as I watched it moving through the window beside my bed. After so many days, I¡¯m now finally leaving this Ind and I was so happy to go back home.


    Since I know Niki would first search for me there, I should take my things and leave as soon as I get there. I have to do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn¡¯t find me.


    Iid down on the bed with all those thoughts inside my mind and I didn¡¯t realize it when I slipped into a deep slumber.


    ***


    I heard someone clearing their throat but I was groaning in sleep, not willing to get up but as soon as reality rushed to my mind I quickly opened my eyes and was shocked to see Vanessa inside the room.


    She was standing there, folding her hands over her chest, behind her stood two women who looked like crew members of this yacht. She stared at me waiting for me to answer those questions running in her mind. I swallowed hard and sat up, ¡°Vanessa,¡± I said while not meeting her eyes.


    ¡°Julia, Why are you here?¡± She asked,

 Chapter 36

    ¡°Vanessa,¡±


    I sighed and looked at my feet, I noticed the crew members leaving the room and closing the door behind. Vanessa sat beside me and took my hand in hers,


    ¡°Please, You can tell me,¡±


    As soon as she said that, I couldn¡¯t stop tears streaming down my eyes. I hugged her and began sobbing, I let all my sorrow out. I was holding everything inside and I was at the edge. I couldn¡¯t control myself anymore.


    ¡°I can¡¯t,¡± I sobbed,Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Julia, It¡¯s okay,¡± She said while rubbing my back, soothing my sorrow.


    I kept crying, the pain inside was so damn intense that it tore me up from inside out. I made myself like a vessel and stored my pain in it but I guess not everything could be stored inside like that.


    Vanessa let me cry my heart out before asking me to tell her what happened and I couldn¡¯t stop myself from telling her.


    ¡°I¡­ I was kidnapped by Niki after we met by ident in San Francisco,¡± I said,


    ¡°What?¡± she said in shock and disbelief.


    ¡°Yes, we had a little fight and he kidnapped me and now¡­. ¡°I¡±m Pregnant with his child,¡± I sobbed,


    She ced her hand on her mouth in utter shock, ¡°He never physically hurt me nor forced me into anything but I don¡¯t want to stay there and raise my child there¡­¡± I rified looking at her shocked face. I don¡¯t know why I care about it but I can¡¯t let her think of Niki as a bad person.


    Even though he did horrible things to me, he never forced me.


    Vanessa ced her hand on my shoulder, ¡°I understand,¡± She smiled,


    ¡°I will always support your decision, Julia, Trust me,¡± she added.


    ¡°Do you want to stay at my ce?¡± she asked,


    ¡°No Vanessa, Thank you for being so kind but I can¡¯t stay, Niki will find me¡­. I have to go to my home in San Francisco and take my things before leaving,¡± I said while wiping my tears,


    ¡°But Julia, where will you go?¡± she asked with concern,


    ¡°I didn¡¯t decide Ven, but I can¡¯t stay there either, But please don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be in touch with you from time to time,¡± I said, ¡°I promise,¡±


    ¡°Ok,¡± She smiled,


    ¡°Max?¡± She called and a tall guy appeared at the door.


    ¡°Yes, Mam?¡± he said,


    ¡°Take Juliana to San Francisco and drop her at her home, do provide whatever she needs in the journey¡­ take care of her needs and protect her,¡± She ordered,


    ¡°Okay Mam,¡± he nodded his head,


    ¡°Also, Lorenzo shouldn¡¯t know anything about this, okay?¡± She said,


    ¡°Yes, Mam,¡± He nodded his head.


    ¡°You may leave,¡± she ordered,


    ¡°Please take care of yourself,¡± she said turning to me, ¡°You have to take care of yourself for the sake of your baby,¡±


    ¡°I will,¡± I smiled,


    ¡°And, never feel you are alone, You have me,¡± she continued, ¡°If you need anything just call me, No matter what¡­ I will always be there for you¡­ I will help you, Julianna,¡±


    I hugged her as she said those words to me, ¡°Thank you, Vanessa,¡±


    ***


    The long journey to Los Angeles came to an end. Vanessa bought food and took care of me through the entire journey.


    I¡¯m quite grateful for her help.


    Max escorted me out of the Yacht as we reached Los Angeles as she ordered. We were now in the car traveling to San Francisco.


    Throughout the journey, I thought of ways to raise this child. I don¡¯t have a proper job and now, I¡¯m on a run.  I don¡¯t know what future this child holds but I intend to give my baby a happy life.


    I will do whatever it takes to give him a good life.


    ¡°Miss. Mitchell?¡± I hear Max¡¯s Voice,


    I opened my eyes and looked at him, ¡°We¡¯ve reached,¡±


    Looking at my apartment, I felt tears rolling in my eyes. I opened the door and stepped outside, I turned back to take my bag but Max insisted he¡¯d bring my luggage so I let him.

    Niki¡¯s Pov:-


    I was sitting in my office, working on the previous dealings between the Italian and Russian mafia when all of a sudden, Penelope barged into my office.


    ¡°Is everything alright?¡± I asked while standing up from my chair. She looked tense and panicked.


    ¡°Julia¡­ Julia,¡± She uttered while breathing heavily,


    ¡°What happened?¡± I asked, rushing towards her.


    ¡°She¡¯s missing,¡± She said,


    ¡°What?¡± I asked in confusion,


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve searched for her and she is nowhere, Nik,¡± Pen said with worry in her eyes,


    ¡°I hope she is okay, God! Not at this moment,¡± She added while running her fingers through her hair with worry and concern.


    ¡°She¡¯ll be fine, She must be doing her work in the kitchen, stop worrying so much,¡± I said while turning to myptop to see her location.


    ¡°No, Nik, I checked in the kitchen too, She¡¯s not there,¡± She said,


    ¡°She has a tracker on her ankle, Let me see where she is so that you could stop worrying so much,¡± I continued, ¡°and¡­ she¡¯s here to work for me, Pen, you should maintain your distance with her,¡±


    ¡°What are you saying, Nik,¡± She said with a look of disbelief,


    ¡°Yea, she¡¯s nothing but a mere worker, She is having her punishment by serving for me,¡± I said,


    ¡°Mere worker?¡± she gasped in shock, ¡°Do you ever realize what you are saying, Niki,¡±


    ¡°The truth,¡± I replied, ¡°That bitch doesn¡¯t deserve more than that title,¡± I added while gritting my teeth. What happened that night and what she was doing to save her friend rushed to my mind.


    ¡°Stop it, Niki,¡± She yelled at me in rage, I was not only shocked but was also stunned. She never ever spoke to me in that tone.


    ¡°You! Niki!¡± she pointed her finger at me, gritting her teeth, ¡°I never thought you¡¯d be such a heartless jerk,¡± she added,


    I gritted my teeth in anger,  ¡°That woman who you¡­called a mere worker? A bitch?  is carrying your child, Niki,¡± she yelled.


    ¡°What?¡± I was shocked to hear that.


    ¡°You are lying,¡± I spoke with a chuckle,


    ¡°You wish I was, but no¡­ She¡¯s pregnant with your child, Niki,¡± she said, ¡°and I guess she must¡¯ve thought to leave this ce and raise her child alone,¡±


    She lowered her with tears rolling in her eyes, ¡°that must exin her disappearance,¡±


    I didn¡¯t know what to say or how to react.


    She¡¯s pregnant?


    With my child?


    Jesus Christ!


    What have I done?

 Chapter 37

    ¡°You lost her, Niki,¡± she said, shaking her head and walking out of my office.


    No! No!


    I didn¡¯t lose her!


    I shook my head and nced at myptop, the tractor showed her location and I immediately rushed outside.


    She¡¯s pregnant with your child! Niki! My subconscious yelled inside my head.


    How can she just leave like that? She should have told me about her pregnancy. Why didn¡¯t she tell me?


    Why?


    You know the reason why, My subconscious replied, You broke her heart, Niki, You screw up big time.


    Whatever I said to her rushed to my mind.


    ¡°Poor Julianna,¡±


    ¡°You are so pathetic,¡±


    ¡°You are nothing but a whore, Miss Julianna,¡±


    ¡°You are one of those Whores, I fuck and throw,¡±


    ¡°What made you think you are any special to me?¡±


    ¡°Bitches like you don¡¯t deserve my kindness,¡±


    ¡°Sluts like you deserve this, Julianna,¡±


    ¡°Sluts like you should be bent down and fucked from behind, you don¡¯t deserve lovemaking¡­ Bitches like you deserve punishments,¡±


    ¡°Damn It,¡± I muttered under my breath,


    I was so blinded in rage and by the thought of being used, that I didn¡¯t notice what I was doing to her. I don¡¯t know if I was right about her or not, but what I did back at the office was wrong.


    I shouldn¡¯t have done that.


    I feel terrible guilt as whatever happened between us in the past few days rushed to my mind. My behavior was rude and it made me feel ashamed of myself.


    I stopped in my tracks as I reached the location, I fisted my palm and clenched my teeth as I saw Dimitri there and the anklet which I put on Julianna¡¯s leg was on his leg.


    Fuck!


    She put the tracker on Dimitri before leaving.


    Damn it.


    ¡°God,¡± I ran my fingers through my hair before turning back and strolling to my office.


    I ordered my men to bring the CCTV footage of every corner of the mansion, and check it. From the footage, I saw Julianna leaving the mansionst night with a bag and returning in 20 minutes. In the morning after Lorenzo and Vanessa left, she sneaked out of the mansion and escaped from the backyard.


    Watching the footage, anger rushed through my system. I mmed my fist on the desk in anger while cursing under my breath.


    ¡°She escaped in Lorenzo¡¯s Yacht,¡±


    I can¡¯t believe she escaped from me.


    I grabbed my mobile and dialed Lorenzo¡¯s number, but immediately hung up.


    I just can¡¯t involve him in this matter.


    ¡°Damnit,¡± I ced the phone on my desk,


    ¡°Cole!¡± I called,


    ¡°Yes, Boss,¡± he immediately replied,


    ¡°I want you to contact our men in Los Angeles and tell them to search for Julianna, send her details to them,¡± I said, ¡°I want them to search every single inch of Los Angeles for her, I want her alive and it¡¯s a direct order,¡±


    I will not let you leave me, Julianna.


    You are mine.


    Suddenly I felt a slight pain in my chest, as seconds passed it began to grow and my vision began to blur. My breathing became unstable, I ced my hand on the desk while I felt my head spin.


    The pain was intense, all my muscles inside were aching and I felt my legs giving up. All I heard were my own unstable breathing and my heartbeat before I hit the floor.


    ***


    ¡°He¡¯s okay now,¡± I hear Sebastian¡¯s voice, he¡¯s my doctor.


    ¡°But¡­¡± I hear Pen¡¯s worried voice,


    ¡°Please don¡¯t worry, Penelope,¡± he cut her off,


    ¡°What¡¯s going on here,¡± I asked while opening my eyes,


    ¡°Nik,¡± Pen and flora rushed towards me as they heard me, ¡°How are you feeling now?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± I replied,


    I nced at Seb for answers, ¡°Can you please leave us, I need to talk to Sebastian,¡± I requested.


    ¡°Yeah, Sure,¡± Flora said while smiling at me.


    Once they left, I nced at Sebastian, ¡°What is it?¡± I asked,


    He sighed and sat on the chair, ¡°We need to contact the donor,¡± He said.


    ¡°Why?¡± I asked,


    ¡°Nik, your heart is reacting strangely to some things¡­ You need to tell me when you began feeling the ache in your chest?¡± he said,


    ¡°Okay,¡± I replied, and began trying to remember when I felt this pain.


    The day when I first kissed her, I felt this pain and from then, whenever I saw her crying or hurt her I felt it. I feel as if my heart doesn¡¯t want to hurt her and beats rapidly in her presence, which is strange.


    ¡°It began to hurt recently,¡± I replied,


    ¡°Nik, You need to be more specific with me,¡± he said,


    I sighed, ¡°Okay, fine, there¡¯s this woman who I bought here recently and I began feeling this pain ever since I kissed her,¡± I confessed and told him every single time I felt it from then on.


    ¡°I¡­I just feel like¡­ she has a special ce in this heart and¡­ it belongs to her,¡± I added thinking of her.


    ¡°So, you never felt it before this woman¡¯s arrival? Like after the surgery?¡± he asked,


    I shook my head saying no.


    ¡°Okay, I think we should get aplete background check on your heart donor, Nik,¡± He said, ¡°To understand this situation, though I didn¡¯t find any issues with your heart,¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± I replied,


    ¡°Let me know when you do, Okay,¡± He said while standing up,


    ¡°Will do,¡± I spoke,


    ¡°Okay, then, use these meds and take rest, don¡¯t stress,¡± he smiled, ¡°your mafia dealing can take rest too,¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    I chuckled at hisment, ¡°See you,¡±


    ***


    ¡°Yes, Boss, will bring you the file,¡± Cole replied as I ordered him to bring the file of my heart donor.


    10 years back, I had a terrible ident, my heart kept failing and no other treatments were effective. Sebastian and my other doctors suggested a heart transnt. After the surgery, I never felt this kind of pain or the feelings I feel whenever I see Julianna ever before.


    I don¡¯t know why but I strongly feel something¡¯s wrong.


    ¡°Cole,¡± I called,


    ¡°Yes boss,¡± Cole came in,


    ¡°I need to know more about him, his personal life too,¡±


    ¡°Okay, boss,¡±


    I sighed deeply as Julia¡¯s face shed in front of my eyes.


    I want you, Julianna!


    Where are you?

 Chapter 38

    It had been a week since she escaped from the mansion, I was feeling reckless knowing that she left because of me, because of my behaviour. I had been ming myself and I don¡¯t know what else to do.


    She¡¯s out there, running away from me like always.


    I want to see her and know if she¡¯s okay or not?


    From the moment Pen told me that she escaped from the mansion, I felt some kind of fear inside. All my life, whoever I had been close with has left me and I was left alone. My mother, I loved her and wanted to be with her but I couldn¡¯t. She left me with a selfish monster, who didn¡¯t even care about me.


    Lorenzo left me after the death of Romulus and Millina, thinking that I was part of their death but in truth, I wasn¡¯t. He hated me for years. Only after Vanessa came into our life, he began speaking to me.


    I couldn¡¯t lose him again, I fell in love with his wife and wanted to be with her but she left me for him.


    All those years, I felt lonely.


    After Julianna left, I felt it again and I¡¯m scared. I don¡¯t know why but I can¡¯t forget about her. No matter how many times I try to stop thinking about her, her face and her voice keep rushing back to me.


    I just can¡¯t do this, I want her, I want her to be with me, I want to touch her, kiss her, hold her. I was wrong about her, it¡¯s all my mistake, I made her feel like trash with my behaviour and she made up her mind to leave.


    If I just stayed the way I was with her before, she would¡¯ve not left me like this.


    Fuck, I need her here.


    ***


    ¡°Boss?¡± I hear Cole¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I replied and he came inside a file in his hand.


    ¡°Here are the details of the man who donated his heart to you,¡± he said, handing the file over to me.


    I took it from him and opened the file, it had his details along with a photo attached to it. His name was Greyson Williams, and he died because of a car ident. He¡¯s an average looking guy, with brown hair and ck eyes, with boyish looks. There were other details about his parents and about him.


    I nced at Cole, ¡°About his background check?¡± I asked,


    ¡°Yes boss, we found out that Greyson Williams has a younger sister named Millian Williams, she lives in Sunnyvale, a small city near San Jose, in her family house¡­ she informed us about him,¡± Cole said,


    ¡°What did she say about her brother,¡± I asked curiously,


    ¡°Millian said her brother¡¯s shy guy, someone struggling to voice their thoughts and kept things in his heart¡­ he back then, had loved his best friend but couldn¡¯t express his feelings for her. Here we got his journal, the sister didn¡¯t allow us to have this but he had to convince her,¡± he said while giving his journal to me,


    ¡°Okay,¡± I took it.


    ¡°She said he writes everything in there, including things he couldn¡¯t say or express,¡±  Cole added, ¡°maybe there¡¯s something there to answer your questions boss,¡±


    ¡°I hope so,¡± I muttered while opening the books.


    It looked old but was untouched, ¡°what do you have here, Julian?¡±


    Today, dad brought clothes for me and I feel very grateful for them,


    I skipped the boring daily routes of his and came to the juicy part.


    Today, a new student joined our ss. She¡¯s so beautiful and everyone looked at her like they looked at a new sweet candy and surprisingly she sat beside me.


    Okay, a new girl in his ss. My curiosity got hold of me and I flipped pages to know whether he became friends with her.


    I couldn¡¯t understand what was happening to me, the sparks I felt when she touched my hand were electrifying. I feel them running all over my body, no one ever touched me or even looked at me. The girl sat with me from the first day she came to our school and I still remember how she saved me from falling to the ground.


    She¡¯s so kind and beautiful, and she¡¯s not like the other girls in my ss. She¡¯s not rude like Jenny and ra in my ss, she never insulted me like them.


    I feel lucky to have her as my friend.


    Okay, looks like he¡¯s a nerd or something and why didn¡¯t he mention her name? I thought while flipping the papers.


    My heartbeat rapidly as I feel her so close to me, she didn¡¯t know the effect her closeness has on me. She sits too close! She shares her food with me and has mine too and it¡¯s so damn nice to feel her close to me.


    She even exins things I don¡¯t understand in sses.


    She keepsughing at those stupid thingsing out of my mouth all the time.


    Like an idiot, I said, ¡°You are sitting too close to me,¡±


    She chuckled at me and said okay and moved a bit away from me. I felt stupid and began cursing myself for saying that.


    Looks like he¡¯s falling in love with the girl, I thought and continued to read.


    Today is my birthday, everyone gave me my favorite things but it didn¡¯t make me feel happy but when she gifted me with thetest book from my favorite author It made me so happy that I hugged her tight.


    She took me out along with her friends and my sister, we had fun and I got to be close to her. Her intoxicating smell made me want to have her close to me but I couldn¡¯t. We went to a movie and I got to sit with her. The whole time, I just kept looking at her rather than watching the movie.


    His beautiful smile and her cuteugh were something worth watching.


    She must have made him feel quite special.


    Today was the best day of my life, it was raining outside and yet she waited for me to finish my final ss so that we could go home together. As we ran towards our homes,ughing at our silliness, I took the opportunity and grabbed her hand and stopped her.


    I said to her, I love her.


    It was so dreamy, I proposed to her, standing in the rain, like in the movies. When I said, I love you, she had a shocked and surprised look but it was reced with a small smile on her lips. I knew she was going to tell me, I love you too but before she could say that her father called her inside.


    And she said she would talk to me tomorrow before going inside.


    God, I can¡¯t believe this, I said I love her!!!


    I can¡¯t wait to hear her say, I love you too, tomorrow.


    If she says that, I would scream at the world as loud as I can.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    I LOVE YOU JULIANA.


    I LOVE YOU SO DAMN MUCH, JULIANNA MITCHELL!!!!


    YOU RULE MY HEART!!


    Wait a damn second!


    ¡°What???¡± I whispered in shock.


    I flipped the page and there he wrote.


    MY LOVE, JULIANNA MITCHELL.


    And he attached a photo of him and Juliana Mitchell, My Julianna, in which Julia offered a piece of cake to him and he had a birthday cup on his head. It was a picture of the cake cutting on his birthday.


    ¡°Holy shit,¡± I muttered in utter shock,


    I flipped the page to see more but there was nothing. The pages were nk.


    What happened the next day?


    Did she say yes to him?


    I nced at his file, there my eyes caught the date of his death and my eyes widened.


    He died the next morning in a car ident.


    ¡°Greyson loved Julianna Mitchell, she ruled his heart,¡±

 Chapter 39

    I was stunned when I learned that my heart donor has loved Juliana till his death and his heart still beats for her. I couldn¡¯t wrap my heart around the fact that even after his death, she¡¯s ruling his heart.


    Till had been literally ten since I had my heart transnt from Greyson and this heart never beat the way it does when I see Julianna.


    Oh god!


    I should call Sebastian right now.


    I grabbed my phone and called him here.


    I stared at the picture of him and Julianna, his eyes reflected the love he has for Julianna which made me feel ufortable inside. I don¡¯t know if it is jealousy or something but I didn¡¯t like the way he wrapped his hand around her waist like that.


    ¡°Nik?¡± I heard Sebastian¡¯s voice and asked him toe in.


    ¡°What is it?¡± he asked,


    ¡°I found that Greyson, the heart donor, loved Julianna, the woman I talked about¡­¡± I spoke,


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s a surprise,¡± hemented,


    ¡°Yeah,¡± I replied,


    ¡°What a coincidence,¡± he chuckled, ¡°This definitely makes sense now,¡± he said, looking at me.


    ¡°You heartache¡¯s and strange beating and all,¡± he added.


    ¡°Yeah, but I¡¯m surprised,¡± I said, ¡°I never heard anything like this before,¡±


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s possible, Nik, he gave her his heart,¡± he said while sitting on the chair.


    ¡°But the question here is? Do you love her?¡± he asked all of a sudden,


    ¡°What?¡± I was surprised,


    ¡°Your heart does beat for her, Nik, but do you love her?¡± He asked,


    I stared at him, everything that happened between us in the past few days rushed to my mind.


    ¡°I¡­I don¡¯t know¡­.¡± I spoke,


    ¡°She matters to me¡­ and for a fact, I know I can¡¯t leave without her,¡± I said, looking at my palms.


    ¡°Then, follow your heart Niki,¡± He said, smiling at me.


    ¡°Find her and tell her what you feel,¡± he added,


    I nced at him and with a determined look, I said, ¡°I will,¡±


    I will find you and make you mine, Julianna.


    You will be mine forever.

    Julianna¡¯s Pov;-


    I was sleeping on my bed and suddenly heard a knock on my door, I woke up and nced at the door.


    ¡°Come in,¡± I said,


    The door was pushed open and Millian walked in, she had a smile on her face while she bought lunch for me.


    ¡°Mil, you don¡¯t have to do it,¡± I said,


    ¡°Nonsense, if I don¡¯t look after you my brother would turn into a ghost and haunt me for the rest of my life, Julia,¡± she said while cing the tray on the nightstand.


    I chuckled at her words.


    ¡°Have your lunch, Julia,¡± She said,


    ¡°Okay,¡± I replied,


    I began having my lunch, ¡°Who¡¯s the father?¡± she asked,


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about it, Mil,¡± I replied,


    ¡°Okay, but if you want to then don¡¯t hesitate to tell me, Julia,¡± She said cing her hand on mine,


    ¡°I will,¡±


    She smiled at me before leaving me.


    I sighed deeply remembering everything that happened.


    ¡°Julia,¡± Ste walked inside the room,


    ¡°Yeah,¡± I replied.


    Yes, Ste is out.


    3 days back,


    I was hurriedly walking inside in the corridor, Max was following me behind carrying my bag. I entered the pin of my door and opened it. I have to take all my important things and leave this ce as soon as possible.


    Niki¡¯s men will find me if I stay here.


    I hurried to my bedroom but stopped in my tracks as I saw Ste walking from her room towards the kitchen.


    ¡°Ste?¡± I whispered,


    Hearing me, she turned to me, ¡°Julia?¡±


    She rushed to me and hugged me with tears rolling in her eyes, ¡°Oh my god, You¡¯re okay,¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand, How are you here?¡± I asked looking at her in confusion,


    ¡°After two days of holding me captive, they brought me back and left me here and also warned me if I said anything about this to anyone¡­ they would kill you,¡± she said,


    ¡°Thank god, You are okay,¡± I said, hugging her again.


    ¡°But how did you escape?¡± she asked,


    ¡°It¡¯s a long story, I¡¯ll tell youter,¡± I said rushing towards my room, ¡°First, we need to leave this ce as soon as possible,¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡± I cut her off,


    ¡°Ste, if Niki discovered that I escaped, this is the first he woulde, So please pack your things, we need to leave in 5 min,¡± I said,


    ¡°Okay,¡± she replied and rushed into her room.


    ***


    We packed our bags and hurried out, ¡°Max, thank you so much for dropping me here, you can go now¡­¡± before I could finish my sentence, he cut me off.


    ¡°No Ma¡¯am, Mrs, Fransico ordered me to drop you wherever you want until you reach a safe ce to live,¡± he said,


    I nced at Ste and back at him.


    ¡°Okay,¡±


    He loaded our luggage in the car and immediately drove us from there, ¡°Where to, Ma¡¯am?¡± he asked.


    ¡°San Jose,¡± I said.


    I never thought I would go back to San Jose, where I lost him. My first love.


    It took days for me to recover from that incident and going back would definitely refresh all that pain and memories but I have to face them now. I don¡¯t have other choices.


    I took my new phone out and dialed Millian¡¯s number, after a few rings, she answered the call.


    ¡°Hello?¡±


    ¡°Hello, Mil?¡± I asked,


    ¡°J-Julia?¡± She immediately recognised my voice, ¡°Oh my gosh, how are you?¡±Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, How are you?¡± I asked,


    ¡°I¡¯m good too!¡± she replied,


    ¡°Mil, I need your help,¡± I said,


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    I asked her to let us live with her for a few until we find a ce for me and Ste to live and she agreed immediately.


    Now we are here, thanks to Max, who bought us here.


    For three days, I couldn¡¯t forget Niki¡¯s words, what he said and what he did to me. He used Ste to control me, even though she wasn¡¯t his captive anymore. I hate him.


    I fucking hate Niki for what he did to me.

 Chapter 40

    Chapter 38     I don¡¯t know what I will do if I see him in person, of course, I can¡¯t do anything but I wish I did something to him. I want to hurt him but also I don¡¯t want to. I don¡¯t know why I feel so lost and hurt by his actions.


    He¡¯s a heartless monster, I knew this from the first day I was there, I was stupid to even fall for him and let him have his way with me. I was so stupid. I hate myself for even thinking about him. I don¡¯t know, what to do.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    I got up from the bed and strolled towards my bag. I opened the zipper and searched for the photo which I had been saving for years. It was the only I have and had to keep it safe.


    ¡°Greyson,¡± I muttered while tears began rolling in my eye,


    I touched his face and tears began streaming down my eyes, I couldn¡¯t stop them.


    ¡°I miss you, Grey,¡± I sobbed looking at his picture, ¡°I just¡­ I just can¡¯t,¡±


    Greyson Williams was my best friend; I love him so much. He was the only person who never judged me andpared me with my sister at that time. He was always there for me whenever I had trouble with my family.


    When my dad got transferred, we had to move to San Jose and they put my sister with my grandma but took me along. They said that her studies would get disturbed if she moves here, so they left her there with Grandma.


    I remember the first day of school, I sat near him. His shy and sweet smile, he was handsome and had those shy looks. I remember them.


    No one ever talked to me the way he did, we grew so close to each other that we shared everything with each other.


    ¡°I miss those days, grey,¡± I cried looking at his picture,


    ¡°I¡­ I wish¡­ You were here¡­ with me,¡±


    I didn¡¯t know what destiny wants from me, it took a good guy, who loved me away from me and let a monster like Nikie into my life and destroy it. The moment he came into my life made it upside down.


    I wish Greyson was alive.


    I still remember the day he died in front of my eyes; he was so eager to hear those three words from my mouth. It was supposed to be a special day for us both but I never thought that it would happen.


    He had a bouquet of red roses and was walking toward me with a cute smile, his shy looks and that cute gesture were so sweet.


    We stood there in the parking lot, smiling at each other as he offered me the bouquet.


    ¡°This is for you,¡± he said,


    ¡°Thank you, thank you,¡± I smiled while taking it,


    ¡°Do you like them?¡± He asked,


    ¡°Yes, I love them, Grey,¡± I said while inhaling the scent of those flowers.


    ¡°How do you know, I love roses?¡± I asked,


    ¡°I just know,¡± he replied,


    The moment was interrupted when we heard multiple horns behind us, as he saw something behind me and immediately pushed me away with full force,


    ¡°Grey!¡± I yelled and I fell to the ground hard.


    As I turned back, I saw a car running over Greyson and killing him on spot. Blood ttered everywhere in front of my eyes.


    Everything around me stopped, my own breathing was stopped and I felt like Strome hit me hard.


    ¡°GREYSON!!!¡± a loud cry escaped from my lips as I hurriedly got up and rushed towards him. I pushed my hand under his body and pulled him onto myp,


    ¡°Grey, Please, Please, Please, No, Please, don¡¯t leave me, please wake up,¡± I cried and cried, yelling for help.


    ¡°Somebody please help us, please help,¡± I cried while holding, ¡°Please stay with me, Grey, please,¡± I cried,


    ¡°I love you, Grey, Please, I love you, wake up please,¡±


    Someone called the ambnce and they took him to the hospital.


    I and along with his parents and sister were waiting for the doctor outside.


    Please God! Please let him be safe! Please help him! Please, I want him, please God, please!


    I kept praying and praying.


    Begging God to save him but I guess God didn¡¯t listen to any of my requests.


    ¡°No! NO!¡± I cried as they said he was no more.


    ¡°You are lying, he didn¡¯t,¡± I sobbed.


    **


    After that day, I was never the same. I miss him terribly. My parents began to worry about me and bought me back to San Francisco, they thought it would best to move me away from there, to forget everything that happened.


    They said, if I stay there, I would keep remembering him, looking at ces we used to hang out and our seats in the ssroom. His memories would haunt me if I stayed in San Jose.


    It did work, I began to move on but I never forget our memories together. No one ever made me feel the way Greyson did. He has a special ce in my heart and no one can ever take it. I always tried to visit Millian but I couldn¡¯t because she stays in San Jose and I couldn¡¯t go there.


    We used to keep in touch through calls and messages, she always loved me, and talking to her would ease me. Mil said that she moved here because of her work and had been here for a year now, she said it is a nice ce and no one could find me here.


    I wish so, I don¡¯t want him to find me.


    I ced the photograph in my bag and wiped my tears, I ced my bag aside before walking out of my room. as I was walking to the kitchen I heard someone¡¯s voiceing from the living room. It was Mil talking to someone.


    Must be her neighbors, I thought while strolling towards the kitchen. I grabbed a water bottle was drinking water.


    ¡°Miss. Mitchell?¡± I heard a terrifyingly familiar voice and the water bottle fell from my hand.


    I felt my heartbeat stop for a moment as I turned, there he stood, dressed in a ck suit and with that Devilish smile on his lips.


    ¡°Niki?¡±

 Chapter 41

    Niki¡¯s Pov:-     My men found Max, one of the members of Lorenzo¡¯s yacht¡¯s crew member. They threatened him and found out where he dropped Julianna.


    She went back to Greyson¡¯s house?


    I don¡¯t how but I will apologize to her and convince her to give me a second chance.


    And I¡¯m going to do whatever it takes. She¡¯s mine, all mine. I reached into my pocket and hold the ring I bought her tightly in my hand. The diamonds bite into my palm and the pain helps clear my mind.


    I¡¯ming for my kitten.


    ***


    I was now standing in front of Millia Williams¡¯s house, one of my bodyguards knocked on the door. I can feel my heart mming against my ribcage as I waited for the door to be open.


    Millia opened the door, as her eyesnded on me, I could see the rage shining in them


    ¡°What the fuck do you want, dickhead?¡± she said,


    ¡°I¡¯m here for Julianna,¡± I replied and go to step past her.


    ¡°Hell, no, you don¡¯t.¡± She shoved me away. I stared at her in rm. Does this little five-foot-nothing girl think she can stop me? I¡¯ll rip her arms from their sockets and beat her with them if she doesn¡¯t step aside.


    ¡°Do you know how much pain you caused her already, asshole?¡±


    ¡°Move,¡± I said, my voice cold and dead.


    ¡°Fuck. You.¡± She jabbed her finger into my chest. Does this girl want to die? She must want to die.


    ¡°Julia¡¯s been sobbing herself to sleep every fucking night since she came back here. She¡¯s a mess because of you and she isn¡¯t getting any better. Do you thinking in here and talking to her is going to do anything but make it worse? Hell. Fucking. No.¡±


    My body tingles with rage and loathing. She¡¯s been crying herself to sleep because of me? I can barely handle the thought. The image of her tear-soaked and hugging her pillow makes me want to strangle myself.


    ¡°Get out of my way,¡± I said, my body tingling with pent-up need. I have to find Julianna. I have to wrap my arms around her and tell her how sorry I am. I need to beg her forgiveness for being a damn fool. For being too self-destructive to think for one fucking second.


    She cried because of me. I¡¯ll never forgive myself, but I will make it right.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    I need Julianna. I need her.


    ***


    Julianna¡¯s Pov;-     I can¡¯t believe my eyes; how did he find me so soon?


    It just has been 3 days.


    I gulped hard and stared at him in shock, ¡°How¡­ How-¡± he cut me off,


    ¡°How did I find you?¡± Hepleted the question I was about to ask, ¡°All thanks to Max, here,¡± he pointed his finger at Max.


    I nced at him,


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. Mitchell,¡± he said, lowering his head.


    ¡°Pack your bags, we are leaving,¡± Niki ordered,


    ¡°No,¡± I said, sternly.


    ¡°I¡¯m noting anywhere with you, Niki Vasiliev,¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t test me, Julianna,¡± he said, clenching his jaw.


    I don¡¯t want to go there and the thought of going there made me feel upset and scared inside. His words kept running back to me as I stared at his face and tears began filling my eyes.


    ¡°No,¡± I replied,


    Looking at my tears-filled eyes, I noticed his features softening.


    ¡°Julia¡­¡± He took a step toward me but I put my hand up and stopped him.


    ¡°No, Please, I don¡¯t want to,¡± I said, tears began streaming down my eyes.


    He sighed, looking at my face with helplessness reflecting in his eyes.


    ¡°Ok, I won¡¯t take you back, but will you listen to me once?¡± he asked, pleading with me with his eyes.


    I could resist those blue eyes, ¡°O-Okay,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Not here,¡± he said, looking straight into my eyes.


    ¡°Fine,¡± I replied, gesturing for him to follow me.


    I took him to my room.


    As soon as we entered the room, Niki shut the door and turned to me. we were two, alone, in my bedroom, this is not a good idea.


    Before I could say anything, he strolled toward me and mmed his lips against mine. I was knocked off my breath and felt some kind of burn inside me, it was a raw need.


    I didn¡¯t want to admit but I missed his touch and his breath against my skin. His hands were holding my face, he kissed me like I was a cure to his suffering. Like I was a reason for his existence and without me, he¡¯ll die.


    We were breathless.


    ¡°I¡­I..¡± he pulled back, breathing heavily while holding my face and pressing his forehead against mine.


    ¡°I¡¯m so¡­ sorry¡­ I¡¯m sorry, please,¡± He apologized,


    I was taken aback by his apology.


    ¡°It was my mistake, pleasee back,¡± he pleaded,


    I was melting inside looking at his state but when his words run back to me, I couldn¡¯t. I can¡¯t go back with him after what he said to me. what if he¡¯s doing all this to make mee back and after I did go with him, what if he changes back to how he was before?


    No, no, don¡¯t fall for this, Julianna.


    ¡°I was¡­ I was stupid,¡± he said looking at me, ¡°I thought¡­ I thought you were using me to save Ste,¡±     ¡°What?¡± I was stunned,     ¡°Yes, I know I was wrong and all but, at that moment when you asked about her, I¡­ I thought you were doing all that to save her and I was angry.¡± He continued, ¡°I¡­ was angry at you and at myself for letting you get close to me¡­ it was the reason behind my rude behaviour towards you,¡±     ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Julia, for all those hurtful things I said to you¡­ I was blinded in rage and couldn¡¯t see what I was doing to you¡­. I¡¯m so sorry, please,¡±     ¡°No, I didn¡¯t¡± I couldn¡¯t stop myself,


    He stared at me with vulnerability shining in his eyes, ¡°I wasn¡¯t using you,¡± I said holding his face.     ¡°This is all a misunderstand?¡± he said,


    ¡°Yes, looks like it is,¡± I smiled,


    ¡°Please Julia, give me a second chance, I swear I¡¯ll take good care of you and our child,¡± He begged.


    Looking at him, begging me like that made me feel happy inside. I don¡¯t know why I felt happy maybe it¡¯s because the fact that The Arrogant king is begging me toe back was something surprising.


    ¡°Okay,¡± I said,


    His eyes lit as I said OKAY and he immediately imed my lips, kissing me hard. He took off my top. He does it lovingly, one button at a time. He kisses my neck, nibbling softly, teasing. His hands are sure and strong and warm. I feel a slight breeze from the window, hot and gentle against my neck. He unhooks my bra and kisses my nipples, his tongue rolling around them, as he takes off my shorts.

 Chapter 42

    I sit there in my panties and nothing else as he looks down at me with zing hot eyes. I can feel the freezing wood grain beneath my thighs. He looks like he wanted to ruin me, and I want him to.     A wave of pleasure hits me as he pulls my panties to the side and rolls his fingers along my soaking folds. Spreading them. Teasing me. Torturing me with bliss.


    I moan into the fabric, losing my goddamn mind.


    he grabs my hips and holds me there as his tongue licks my body top to bottom,pping at my clit and sliding into my slit. I breathe hard and grabbed the cushion behind me and bite the cushion and my god, oh my god, it hurts so fucking bad and feels so fucking good, and my brain suddenly breaks down as the pleasure and pain signals get all crossed, and his tongue is like heaven as he rolls it around my clit, and I¡¯m about to explode into a fucking sunburst of ecstasy.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    But he pulls away.


    ¡°No!¡± I groan and look back at him. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare stop.¡± I try to grab at his face, but he bats my hands away and pins them behind my back.     His smirk makes me want to murder him on the spot.


    He rubs my pulsing ass, but he doesn¡¯t give me the pleasure I need. He doesn¡¯t tip me over. I¡¯m right there, hanging onto the ledge with my fingertips, but he won¡¯t let me drop.


    ¡°This is your punishment for trying to leave me,¡±


    ¡°You bastard,¡± I moan and bite the cushion hard.


    He spanked me. He licked me. He spanked me again, and again, andpped me and sucked me, and drives me fucking wild. I¡¯m sweating, moaning, biting the couch so hard my teeth hurt, until finally, I can¡¯t take it anymore, I finally break down and start pleading with him, God, begging him. ¡°Niki, please, please, make mee. Please make mee. I can¡¯t stand it anymore. I need it so badly.¡±     ¡°I¡¯m Sorry, Niki, Please,¡± I begged,     ¡°Please, Niki, Please,¡± I asked,


    He spanked me hard and licked my clit. He sucked it and does this amazing thing with his tongue and I screamed. I threw my head back and screamed with delight and frustration and need, white-hot, fire-filled need.


    ¡°Fuck me, Niki,¡± I gasped, brain a buzzing mess of want. ¡°Fuck me. Please, fuck me.¡±


    He growled and his belt unbuckled. His pantse off. he rolled it along my soaking pussy as he spanked me one more time, his tip grinding into my clit, and my back arched and my toes curl as he sinks himself deep inside my tight slit.


    I say his name and moan as he fucks me in long, hard strokes, and Ie in a blinding sh of absolute pleasure, my pussy contracting on his cock, grabbing him, and holding him tight, pulling him deeper as I¡¯m thrown into a euphoria, my entire world drilled down to his cock fucking me, fucking me deep and rough.


    He growls in my ear and I felt hime inside me. I leaned back and kissed him over my shoulder and I¡¯m sweating, drenched in sweat, and all I can taste are his lips and his tongue and everything about him as he stays buried between my legs, both of us panting, breathing hard.


    I pulled back slightly. He cups my breasts as if he can¡¯t keep his hands off me. I grinned at him. ¡°I¡¯m going to be bruised, you know.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡± He kissed me gently.


    He wrapped his arms around me. His cock slides out and hey on the bed. I cuddle up against him, curling into his massive arms and chest. He¡¯s mostly dressed except for his pants and underwear¡­and I¡¯mpletely naked. And yet I don¡¯t care.


    I feel safe.

    Mil requested me and Niki to stay for few days here, and I couldn¡¯t say no to her. From that day, Niki was right. I¡¯m sore for a few days after that punishment. He goes easy on me, but he doesn¡¯t keep his hands to himself.


    It¡¯s like I woke something up and can¡¯t put it back down.


    Not that I want to. We sleep in bed together that night, the first time since our first evening together after I escaped, what feels like forever ago. He fucks me slowly, almost tenderly, hands cupping my breasts, and Ie as I ride him into oblivion.


    It¡¯s the same thing the next morning. Tender tongue on my clit, his hard cock between my legs. He takes me, and takes me, and takes me, and over the next few days, we have more sex than I thought was possible in such a short time.


    We don¡¯t talk about the change. Neither of us seems like we want to admit it. I¡¯m afraid if I mention anything, it¡¯ll break the spell. My feelings for him areplicated


    He¡¯s insatiable, and I can¡¯t get enough. He fucks me from behind in the shower. He makes me suck his cock while I tease my own clit and when I¡¯m about toe, he finishes deep between my legs while I scream his name.


    I noticed a change in him, too. He cuddles me at night in the darkness after fucking me into submission. He whispers sweet things in my ear. He tells me he¡¯ll y a dragon for me. He¡¯ll invade a kingdom for me. He¡¯ll give me the world, and all I have to do is ask.


    But eventually, I need to eat, so when Mil asked me out to lunch, I decide to ept.


    ¡°When will you be back?¡± Niki looked at me like he¡¯s about to rip my clothes off and refuses to let me go.


    ¡°Soon, I promise.¡± Iughed and kissed his cheek.


    ¡°You need to get some work done too; you know.¡±


    ¡°Fuck work. They don¡¯t need me. I want this.¡± He grabbed my ass and I only wince a little bit. The pain¡¯s mostly gone.


    ¡°You¡¯ll get itter. Absence makes the heart grow, h h h.¡± I chuckled,     ¡°Let me pick you up when you¡¯re done at least.¡± He said,     ¡°If you insist.¡± I smiled.


    ***


    ¡°Well, what are your ns now,¡± Mil asked,


    ¡°there¡¯s none,¡± I replied,


    ¡°I think This psycho Russian asshole clearly loves you. You need to just get going.¡±


    I chewed my lips as she said those words.


    Does he love me?

 Chapter 43

    ¡°Julianna,¡±


    His tongue rolled around my nipples. His hand slid down the front of my worn cotton panties and I moan. His fingers rolled up and down my wet folds before teasing my clit.


    He kissed me. He¡¯s so gentle with my mouth but his fingers aren¡¯t as kind. They stroked me up and down as he pinned me back against a wall. It¡¯s cold against my back. An art print of a covered bridge rattles and nearly falls off its nail.


    ¡°I came to understand the truth,¡± he whispered in my ear. His fingers slide inside and I moaned deep and low as a thrum of pure bliss rolls into my hips.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°What¡¯s the truth?¡± I managed to ask. My fingers dig into his muscr back. It¡¯s heaven, touching him again and being touched. It¡¯s something I never thought I¡¯d even get a second change at after my escape, but now that we¡¯re here, now that he¡¯s teasing and kissing and making me feel incredible, I¡¯ll savour every moment.


    ¡°I need you. I can¡¯t live without you. I don¡¯t know how, or what you did to me, but you¡¯re mine, Julianna. You¡¯re all mine.¡±


    He fucked me with his fingers and I can¡¯t find the words to respond, but he¡¯s right, he¡¯s right, I¡¯m his, I¡¯m all his. I moaned into his mouth but he doesn¡¯t let mee. I want it so badly, but he stopped me before I can get there. He dragged me to the couch and pins me down on my back, his massive bulk trapping me to the soft cushions as he presses his thick cock against my slick pussy. I moan when he slid himself deep between my legs and stays there for a moment, my hands held above my head, his lips on my nipples.


    I rolled my hips and my back, and he started to fuck me.


    He fucked me faster, harder. My cheek hurt and stings, but I don¡¯t care. He bit my shoulder, my nipples. He pulled my hair and took me, and we¡¯re both lost in a crazy cascade of need.


    Ie moaning as he grips my hips. Ie screaming as he growled his own pleasure and fills me to the brim. I moaned and shudder and shook, blinking at the stars in my vision. His lips find mine and I kiss him hard. He returns that kiss with enthusiasm, and he holds me there.


    We¡¯re drenched in sweat, and all I want is to stay here like this forever.


    He kisses me softly. ¡°You need to see the doctor,¡± I was about to say something but he cut me off, ¡°Don¡¯t fucking argue, you are pregnant,¡±


    I nod and chew my lip. ¡°Yes, sir. You can be a real bossy asshole sometimes.¡±


    ¡°Get used to it.¡± He pulls me against him and holds me tight.


    I stay like that, curled against his chest. I listen to his heart and his breathing.


    ¡°I need you to know something,¡± he said low and gently.


    ¡°Yeah? Are you about to tell me how good I am in bed?¡±


    ¡°No, but you are stunning.¡±


    ¡°Thank you. Go on.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you when we go home,¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Good.¡± He smiles and bites my corbone before licking my nipples nice and slow.


    ¡°Now, I haven¡¯t had you in what feels like forever. I want to watch you ride my cock until you scream. Can you do that for me?¡± he said,


    Yes, after what happened the night when he left my room in anger, we didn¡¯t touch each other and it did feel like forever.


    ¡°Only if you¡¯re nice.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m always nice to you, Kitten. Now, we¡¯d better get started. We¡¯ll go to the doctor when you¡¯re done.¡±


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡± I push him back and straddle him. His cock¡¯s already hard, and it doesn¡¯t take much convincing to get me soaking wet again.


    I arch my back, slide down his shaft, and get to work.


    ***


    After visiting the doctor for a check-up. We began packing our bags to leave, Niki agreed to take Ste with us and I¡¯m on cloud nine now.


    After we travelled back to the ind, Flora and Pen stopped talking to me. They were angry at me for escaping like that. Flora said, if I had any trouble I should tell her rather than escape like that.


    Well, they couldn¡¯t stay angry at me, I apologized to them and they forgive me.


    As soon as I went into my room, I see Niki behind me.


    ¡°Nowe on, it¡¯s been a long journey, nearly 24 hours since I saw you naked, and I¡¯m not sure I can go much longer.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re a pig,¡± I say,


    ***


    It¡¯s a hot afternoon and the midday sun hangs heavy in the sky above. I shift closer to Niki and he put his hand on my thigh. I leaned on his shoulder and settled into afortable position with his arm across my shoulder.


    ¡°Juliana, there¡¯s something you need to know,¡± I heard Niki and looked at him.


    ¡°What?¡± I asked,


    ¡°Ten years back, I had a heart issue and I need an immediate heart transnt,¡± he began, staring at my face without even blinking, ¡°¡­ the donor¡­ he had an ident¡­in which he surfaced brain death¡­ he donated his heart to me before dying,¡± he looked away from me,


    ¡°What is his name?¡± I asked, curious to know who saved my Niki¡¯s life.


    ¡°Greyson Williams,¡± he said, looking at me.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Everything around me stopped and tears began rushing to my eyes, ¡°Grey-Greyson¡­ What?¡± I covered my mouth.

 Chapter 44

    Tears kept streaming my eyes as I ced my hand over Niki¡¯s Heart and heard it beating.


    ¡°Oh my god! It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s¡­¡± I could stop crying, ¡°Greyson¡¯s¡­¡±


    My heart clenched inside my chest as I sobbing out loud. The pain and memories were fresh as if it happened yesterday.


    Greyson, Oh my god. His heart is inside Niki? I can¡¯t believe this.


    Jesus Christ.


    Tears continuously streamed my eyes, ¡°Grey!!¡±


    He held me while I pressed my head to his chest and sobbed, God did a miracle by putting the heart of a person I loved back then into a person I love in the present and future.


    Wait, what?


    Let¡¯s forget that I said that.


    Greyson lives in Niki and he didn¡¯t leave me, the fact itself is making me feel so lucky.


    Niki held me until I stopped sobbing, he wiped my tears and kissed me.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± he said and we went inside the mansion into his room.


    He made me sit on the bed and removed his t-shirt, he stood in front of me. he grabbed my hand pressed it against his naked chest.


    ¡°Look,¡± he said,


    I did, as I look closely, I noticed a scar on his skin.


    ¡°It¡¯s a scar,¡± I whispered.


    As Niki has a scar on his body, I have a scar in my mind. The memory of Greyson¡¯s death.


    Scars are what make us who we are. Everyone has scars¡­some are etched into skin, and some are burned into memory. Nobody moves through life without a scar slicing them in half.


    ¡°I know he¡¯s your first love and whenever you miss him, you can touch it,¡± he smiled.


    Oh my god, what did I do to have such a sweet man in my life.


    I hugged him and mmed my lips against his.


    ***


    We were having lunch in the dining hall when all of sudden, Nik went on his knee in front of me, ¡°Niki?¡±


    I nced everyone; they were staring at me. Flora covers her mouth with her hands, her eyes twinkling with joy. Penelope is grinning madly, and Ste seems like she might pass out. Roman, pping and cheering at Niki.


    ¡°I love you, Julianna,¡± he said and his voice fills my ears like thunder. He¡¯s got something clutched in his left hand as he holds my fingers with his right. ¡°I¡¯ve loved you since the first night we met. You¡¯re in my head and my heart, and I won¡¯t let you go, not for anything. I¡¯ve been carrying this ring for a while now.¡±


    ¡°Ring?¡±


    And there it is big diamonds and gold and, my god, it¡¯s so beautiful my breath catches in my throat. I¡¯ve never seen anything like it before. He holds it in the air and looks into my eyes.


    ¡°Julianna, will you marry me?¡±


    I nearly fall over. The words hit me like a train and I struggled to breathe.


    Marry him? Really marry him? Oh my god!


    Holy fucking Shit!


    This is real and really happening.


    I knew from the moment he brought me here that this was supposed to be the end result, but it never hit home. It never seemed like it would truly happen. I didn¡¯t want it back then.


    Jesus Christ!


    I¡¯m freaking out Again.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Control yourself Julia, my subconscious began yelling inside my head.


    Now I know it¡¯s more like being born again.


    He¡¯s kneeling and the ring¡¯s right there, and I don¡¯t know how to make my mouth work.


    ¡°Uh,¡± I said,


    ¡°Juliana. Marry me.¡± he said, his eyes twinklingly.


    ¡°Yes. Yes! Yes, I¡¯ll marry you!¡± I said out loud,


    Flora gasped. Steughed out loudly as Niki slides the ring down my finger. Roman was taking pictures of us as Niki did it. I feel like I might faint, but Niki stood, wrapped me in his arms, hugged me tight, and kissed me.


    The kisssts forever. It¡¯s an eternity. It¡¯s a second lifetime. It wipes away so much pain and gives me hope for the future, real hope for the first time in my life.


    I love you, Niki, I fucking Love you so much.


    I never thought I would fall in love with this Demon Monster, Mafia don but I did. I fell head over heels in love with this man.


    ***


    Six Months Later.


    Niki and I got married right after his proposed me, the wedding was simple and beautiful. Niki invited my family too but they refused to attend, I let them be. After wedding Niki brought me out of Ind and now, we are living in a mansion of Niki¡¯s in Chicago.


    Apparently, he has luxurious mansions in every ce he visited.     ¡°You were so excited about getting your surprise today, but now you¡¯re taking your time.¡± Niki¡¯s voice floats my way from where he¡¯s waiting outside. It¡¯s cute seeing him this enthusiastic. He¡¯s not the hard, cold mafia boss. He¡¯s not the heartless assassin, either.     He¡¯s been my husband for the past six months, and it¡¯s moments like this that prove to me he¡¯s a child at heart.


    It¡¯s a pleasure, even a privilege, the chance to see him like this. Nobody who doesn¡¯t know him the way I do would ever believe he¡¯s capable of such sweetness and thoughtfulness. yfulness, too. It¡¯s easy to forget sometimes who I¡¯m really living with.


    Of course, that part of him is never far from the forefront. Mafia business concerns tend to pop up constantly, but they don¡¯t seem to carry the same weight as before.


    Most recently, a few nights ago, while we were lying in bed watching the baby kick me until I was sure they broke something. He ced a hand on my belly,ughing in approval when his child delivered a hearty kick in response to his touch.


    ¡°But now, with a family to protect, I¡¯ll be less inclined to respond with violence. I would rather keep the peace for your sake than disy a trophy case full of severed heads.¡±


    While the image he conjured wasn¡¯t exactly charming, I understood the point, and it means the world to me. We mean that much to him.


    ¡°Julia! We still have to pick up Ste . She¡¯ll be waiting.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t move as fast as I used to, or have you forgotten?¡± That¡¯s an understatement. I¡¯m practically waddling now, only a handful of weeks from my due date.


    I didn¡¯t think it would be possible for my body to get this big and swollen. It¡¯s almost supernatural. If we hadn¡¯t already gotten confirmation from the doctor, I would swear there¡¯s more than one baby in here.


    I manage to wait until I¡¯m in the car before peppering him with questions. ¡°Will you at least tell me where we¡¯re going? Is it a ce, or are we going to pick up something? Will it fit in the car? Is it for the baby?¡±


    He starts the car, doing his best to fight off a smile. He¡¯s not doing a very good job of it. ¡°No. You¡¯ll see when we get there.¡±


    ¡°You know I don¡¯t like surprises, Niki,¡± I said,


    ¡°That¡¯s not true. You don¡¯t like not knowing what¡¯sing next. There¡¯s a difference.¡±     ¡°Can you me me? Honestly.¡±


    ¡°No, I can¡¯t,¡± he admits. ¡°But don¡¯t you know by now you can trust me? I¡¯m not setting you up for a let-down.¡± His fingers tap against the steering wheel, and unless my ears deceive me, he even starts humming to himself as he drives to the house Ste has been renting since the wedding.


    As always, Ste first questions are about the baby. ¡°How are you feeling? Did you get any sleep?¡± She slides into the back seat before leaning forward to kiss my cheek.


    ¡°I just talked to you on the phone this morning, remember?¡±


    ¡°I thought you said you were going to try to take a nap.¡±


    ¡°I swear, you¡¯re no better than he is.¡± I jerk my chin in my husband¡¯s direction.


    ¡°Far be it from me to care whether my wife is healthy and getting all the rest she needs.¡± He rolls his eyes, but his grin gives him away. Whatever he¡¯s taking me to, he¡¯s ridiculously excited about it. I can¡¯t help but feed off that energy. It must be something really good if he feels this strongly about it.


    ¡°Are you kidding me? I¡¯m surprised you let me do anything at all, Mr. Protective.¡±


    Ste lets out a knowingugh. ¡°Like you don¡¯t love it. We both know it makes you feel good to have others fawn over the way you are, so don¡¯t pretend otherwise.¡±


    It¡¯s times like this I wonder why it ever seemed like such a good idea for the two of them to be friends. All they seem to want to do is gang up on me.


    ¡°Do you have any idea where we¡¯re going?¡± I ask her, craning my neck to see over my shoulder. I can always tell when she¡¯s lying by the defensive hunch of her shoulders.


    There¡¯s no hunch this time. ¡°Do you think he would tell me?¡±


    ¡°Only because I know you would want to tell her.¡±


    She snorts, rolling her eyes. ¡°I think we all know I¡¯m experienced when ites to keeping things to myself.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not the kind of secret I¡¯m talking about, which you know very well.¡± I have to say, he¡¯s learning to control his reactions. As recently as our wedding day, I would never have imagined him capable of avoiding an outburst when someone contradicts him. ¡°Happier secrets are more difficult to contain.¡±


    Oh, Happy Secret.

 Chapter 45

    ¡°So, it¡¯s a happy secret?¡± I ask, nudging him.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m taking you to a sewage nt. I thought you would enjoy the smell since everything seems to set you off nowadays.¡±


    He¡¯s not wrong about that. Things that never used to bother me suddenly turn my stomach. Even the smell of coffee. Ste swears that¡¯s perfectly normal, and everything I¡¯ve read online backs that up, but I can¡¯t wait until things go back to normal.


    Considering I¡¯m going to get a baby out of the whole thing, it¡¯s not that much of a sacrifice.


    So, this is what it¡¯s like, being part of a family. It¡¯s been so long since thest time I felt like I had one. I hardly remember those days, and I¡¯ve tried.


    This is the next best thing. Joking around with my best friend and my husband while my baby sleeps soundly. Of course, they are, now that I¡¯m not trying to fall asleep. The dance party usually starts up after dinner. I don¡¯t mind that, either, even if I miss sleeping. I get the feeling I should get used to going without as much as I want. Things aren¡¯t going to get easier once the baby arrives.


    ¡°Just a few minutes more.¡± His left leg bounces up and down now. The closer we get, the more excited he is.


    I¡¯ve never seen him like this. This has to be better than good, whatever it is.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    He slows the car before turning onto a narrow road which soon opens onto a gravel driveway. Now he drops the speed further until we¡¯re almost crawling. Something about this is vaguely familiar.


    ¡°Have I been here before?¡± I look at him, then at Ste. She has a funny look on her face.


    ¡°No¡­ Not here, though it does look familiar.¡± She stares out the window, frowning. ¡°Uncanny.¡±


    ¡°What is this? Tell me. No joking.¡± I¡¯m speaking to Niki but staring out the windshield. Every roll of the wheels makes me more convinced I¡¯ve been here in the past. When I was little, of course.


    ¡°You tell me.¡±


    He nods, and I follow the direction he¡¯s looking in. Now I can¡¯t believe my eyes. Now I know what I¡¯m looking at¡­at least, what I think I¡¯m looking at. It can¡¯t be, though.


    ¡°Niki!¡± Ste ces her hands against the window. I turn my head to watch her. She looks like she¡¯s on the verge of a meltdown, but in a good way. If there is such a thing. ¡°How did you do this? Is this the surprise?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re looking at your new home if you¡¯d be so inclined to share it with us. There¡¯s plenty of space. You should know that.¡±


    ¡°Julia,¡± Her hand grips my shoulder now, hard enough to make me wince. ¡°Do you know what it is? Do you recognize it?¡±


    ¡°If¡­ I had to guess,¡± I venture, ¡°it¡¯s the house I lived in when I was little.¡±


    ¡°Close. It¡¯s a replica of your childhood home.¡± He takes us the rest of the way up a winding driveway before pulling to a stop in the circr courtyard. Ste weeps softly in the back seat while I stare up at the sto walls, the tile roof, and the lushndscaping.


    He turns in his seat to look at both of us. ¡°I located the ns for the original house. I wanted you, Julianna, to live somewhere that reminds you of how life was before your grandma died and your parents began mistreating you,¡±


    ¡°But we didn¡¯t need a new house.¡± Why that¡¯s the first thing thates to mind, I don¡¯t know. My brain¡¯s not moving in a linear fashion right now.     Yes, I had tons of memories in this house. I lived here with my grandma, she was my world, she never let my parents scold me or even be rude to me.


    After her death, dad sold this house and we moved to California and after that San Francisco.


    ¡°No, but you can¡¯t pretend being in my home doesn¡¯t remind you of everything I did. I don¡¯t want to put you through that. You deserve a new home where you can build new memories. With our family.¡±


    He looks at Ste next. ¡°I meant what I said a minute ago. I would be happy to have you living here with us. You¡¯d have all the time you want with this child and the others whoe after them. You and Juliana would have the opportunity to be together, too. You deserve that.¡±


    My heart¡¯s too full to speak. I look back at Ste, waiting for her to respond.


    Instead of saying it in words, she bursts out of the car and runs around to the driver¡¯s door. Niki opens it and barely manages to get on his feet before she throws her arms around him. ¡°Thank you. Thank you.¡± He pats her back and murmurs about it being his pleasure.


    She leans in a little. ¡°Youing in to look around?¡±


    I¡¯m sure I¡¯ve never seen her this happy, except maybe when she learned about the baby.


    ¡°Give me a minute. I need to take it all in.¡± I open the door, and Niki is quick to hurry over to help me. Under any other conditions, I¡¯d wave him off, but right now, I need all the help I can get.


    ¡°What gave you this idea?¡± I ask once I¡¯m on my feet. ¡°And how the hell did you keep it a secret?¡±


    He¡¯s glowing from his cleverness and pride. ¡°I made sure the contractors andndscapers knew their asses were entirely mine if they so much as whispered to their girlfriends about this project. Word spreads fast. They signed agreements to keep it confidential.¡±


    ¡°Smart.¡±


    ¡°As for myself¡­¡± He grins, shrugging. ¡°I told myself it would be worth watching you when we arrived. Are you happy?¡±


    ¡°Happy?¡± It seems like such a needless question. Don¡¯t I look it? ¡°I¡¯ve never been so happy in my whole life.¡±


    ¡°Then it was all worth it.¡± He pulls me in for a hug, kissing the top of my head. ¡°Every bit. I can¡¯t wait to watch you make it a home. You have everything you want at your fingertips. The sky¡¯s the limit.¡±


    He leans down, his lips brushing my ear. ¡°And while this is a replica of your childhood home, where you were once young and innocent, make no mistake about it. I intend to degrade you in every single room, in every way possible.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d be worried if that wasn¡¯t on your mind.¡±


    We exchange a knowing smile before starting toward the house. I can¡¯t wait to explore. I can¡¯t wait to raise a family here.


    With my husband at my side, always.

 Chapter 46

    EPILOGUE.


    7 monthster.


    Andrei¡¯s cry echoes through the house.


    Groaning, I throw my leg from the bed, trying to gather the strength to get up.


    Niki takes hold of my hip and pulls me back onto the bed. ¡°Stay, baby. I¡¯ve got this.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the best,¡± I mumble. I feel the mattress dip as he gets up.


    Prying my eyes open, I watch as he turns on the nighmp we got for the cradle. Reaching inside, he gently picks up our baby, then cradles him against his chest. ¡°Is my boy hungry?¡± Heys Andrei down on the bed and checks his diaper. ¡°Yes, definitely hungry,¡±


    I pull myself up against the pillows, then Nikiys Andrei, who¡¯s got a red line running down his forehead from all the crying, in my arms. While our sontches on, Niki leaves the bedroom.


    I blink a couple of times to rid my eyes of the scratchy sensation, then stare down at Andrei eagerly sucking me dry.


    Just as the thirst hits, Nikies back with a bottle of water. He uncaps it and hands it to me.


    Only after I¡¯ve drank half do I smile at my husband. ¡°Go to sleep. I¡¯ve got this.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait until he¡¯s had enough.¡± Reaching beneath the covers, Niki brushes his hand up and down my leg, his eyes on Andrei.


    It¡¯s three in the morning. We¡¯re both dead tired.


    Still, how lucky am I?


    I have the best husband in the world sitting next to me. Our healthy son in my arms. No worries besides when I¡¯ll have my next nap.


    Life is insanely good.


    Andrei made fussing noises, and instantly Niki¡¯s lips curve up, his eyes filled with adoration.


    When Andrei frees my nipple, Niki takes him from me, and standing up, he picks up a towel, cing it against his shoulder before gently burping our son.


    ¡°I¡¯m jealous,¡± I mutter as I cover myself. ¡°I don¡¯t know how you burp him.¡±


    ¡°Rub. Pat. Rub. Pat,¡± Niki teases me. Andrei lets out a loud one, then makes a gurgling sound that melts my heart.


    Niki moves him into a cradling position, slowly rocking him.


    Taking in the sight of my husband and son, who are entirely in love with each other, my heart feels full.


    When Andrei drifts off to sleep, his little hands open, his lips parted, Niki presses a kiss to his forehead. ¡°Sweet dreams, my boy.¡± Heys him in the cradle, then turns off the light.


    I snuggle down into my pillow, but the moment Niki climbs back in bed, he takes hold of my hips, and pulls my butt against his pelvis.


    Feeling his hardness, I mumble, ¡°Sleep.¡±


    He pulls my leggings and panties down. ¡°You can sleep, Don¡¯t mind me.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t sleep without fucking this pussy,¡± he said huskily.


    I let out a chuckle, which turns to a moan as he thrusts inside me. ¡°I¡¯ve changed my mind. Fuck me.¡±


    Niki presses a kiss to my neck, his chest pressed against my back, then asks, ¡°When can we have another baby?¡±


    His body rocks mine with hard thrusts, making it impossible to talk. When my orgasm hits, I smother my cries against the pillow.


    Niki jerks inside me, his teeth sinking into my shoulder to smother his groan.


    We lie still for a moment, then he asks, ¡°When?¡±


    ¡°As soon as Andrei is on solids.¡±


    He kisses my shoulder, then murmurs, ¡°Good.¡± When he pulls out of me, he turns me onto my back, pressing a kiss to my mouth. Caressing my cheek with his fingers, he murmurs, ¡°I love you, baby.¡±


    ¡°Another kiss,¡± I demand yfully, now wide awake.


    This time when his mouth takes mine, he deepens it. It doesn¡¯t take long before Niki thrusts inside me again.


    ¡°I love you,¡± I breathe against his lips.


    So much.


    Just when I think I can¡¯t love the man any more than I already do, he does something that makes me fall in love even deeper.


    ¡°Mine,¡± he groans, his arms wrapping me tightly to his chest as he makes love to me.


    Two yearster¡­


    Niki¡¯s Pov:-


    ¡°Niki, have you seen Alina¡¯s bag?¡± Julia called from upstairs.


    Just then, Andrei decides to turn his box of toys over, sending them spilling across the floor.

    ¡°Not here.¡±


    Andrei grabs two cars and makes a run for the foyer. ¡°Our bedroom?¡±


    ¡°Already checked. Not there.¡±


    Climbing to my feet, I walked to the stairs, stopping to grab hold of Andrei. Throwing him over my shoulder, he lets out a bark ofughter, then proceeds to drive his cars up and down my back.


    I find Julia in the nursery, with Alina, our newborn daughter, cradled in her arms. ncing around the room, I walk to the side of the cradle and pick up the bag.


    ¡°Oops.¡± My wife just shrugs at me.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Julia says, walking out of the room. ¡°I¡¯m in the mood for a fish tter.¡±


    ¡°We can share,¡± I mention as I follow after her.


    ¡°Wrrroom-wrroooooooom.¡± Andrei spit hits my neck as the cars crash on my other shoulder, but I¡¯m at the point where I don¡¯t even care anymore.


    After handling Julia¡¯s morning sickness and a fuck ton of diapers, a little spit is nothing.


    We leave the house, and the moment the elevator doors slide open, Andrei excitedly yells, ¡°Cole!¡±


    I hand my son to Cole, who grins. ¡°I like your cars, little man.¡±


    ¡°Watch out,¡± Julia warns. ¡°Lately, they¡¯re weapons.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m tough.¡± He spoke.

    ¡°Ten minutes, my boy,¡± I murmur.


    This is our life now. Kids. Family. Date nights. Sex at midnight before one of the kids wakes up. Running the mafia.


    Stopping at a red light, I look at my wife. ¡°I love you, baby.¡±


    ¡°And me,¡± Andrei chuckles.
