Don Nikolai
" You wish it was you screaming my name, don't you? " He asked while locking me in place with his gaze.
“ I don’t know what you're talking about.” I defended.
I clutched the wall behind me as he moved closer with his hand on the door above my head. Our bodies were inches apart and it was getting harder to concentrate because of his bare chest that was muscular and covered with ink.
" Tell me principessa, do you think of me when you trail your fingers down your stomach and between your thighs? Do you think of me as you work yourself trying to reach the brick of euphoria? Do you imagine it's my fingers as you work faster to ease the ache between your thighs? Do you scream my name as your walls clench around your digits and your eyes roll to the back of your head when you ? "
" you! " I screamed, ignoring the loud thumping of my heart against my chest.
" You see, I know girls like you. You've been sheltered all your life and you crave some rebellion. Tattoos, muscular, bad boy, and an Italian accent are your undoing, right? That's all it takes to have you drooling and fawning. I'm I right, principessa? "
“ You know nothing about me! " I screamed and he chuckled.
“ Oh, but I do. I can smell your arousal begging me to pin you to this wall and show just how much I can make your weep for me. " He whispered in my ear.
She's fire and he's ice. Sicily holds many secrets but is Brianna ready for the ones Nikolai has to offer? A life of crime, gunfire, and passion is not what she signed up for. Can she handle the enigma that is Nikolai?

Chapter: The endMy eyes felt heavy but my ears were alert. I heard the beeping of machines and the voice of a woman speaking. Was I finally in heaven? I knew if that shit was real, I was going to hell for all the horrible things I had done.“Is he going to be, okay? “ I heard an angelic voice ask. It sounded awfully familiar like I should have known who it belonged to but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Why did it sound so sweet and inviting?“He will be. He should wake up any day now. “ A male voice replied.For some reason, I wanted to hit the male and tell him to stay away from my angel even though I couldn’t see how close they were.“You said that last week, “ the angel said with a sigh. There was sadness in her voice and it broke my heart. I had to open my eyes to look at her.When my eyes finally cooperated, there were white walls everywhere and two people in a corner. One of them was wearing a blue dress and her copper hair was in a messy bun.That was the moment we made eye contact and sh

Chapter: Saving him“We will attack from this point right here and then Luca and the other men will go from the back. Make sure all your coms are working when we get there. If you encounter something, you tell us. “ I instructed.Esposito and Romano were standing on either side of me looking at the map I had. Thanks to a tip, we had a possible location for where they were keeping Nikolai and I was determined to find him.“So-““Why is nobody looking for Lorenzo? “ Viv asked from the door. I turned to face her with a hard glare on my face as I crossed my arms against my chest.“You’re not allowed in here, Viv. Why are you here?” I asked even though I had heard her previous statement.She scoffed and came deeper into the room, making me fold the map and hand it to Luca. With a nod of my head, he understood what I was saying and he left.“I asked where Lorenzo is. Last I heard from him, you sent him on a mission and he never came back. That was three days ago. Why aren’t you looking for him?” Viv asked.I d

Chapter: A plan...Anabelle lowered the gun and placed it in the back of her jeans without taking her eyes off me. She proceeded to take my gun from the ground and unloaded it. She placed the bullets in her pocket and then tossed me the gun without any bullets.“Tell me what you meant when you said all my men are dead, “ I said, not wanting to beat around the bush.It was then that I realized how insensitive I was being. She had been through a lot and I hadn’t even heard what had happened to her yet I was prioritizing my needs over hers. I shook my head and gave her a soft look.“What happened Anabelle? One day I left you with Lorenzo, Viv, and Florian, and the next, I came back to find my mansion in ashes. What happened to your arm and where have you been?” I asked.She sighed and sat down on a rock. I followed her lead and sat beside her.“We were all in the mansion. Florian and I were in the basement interrogating someone when we heard the commotion upstairs. We stayed back and watched through the li

Chapter: AnabelleAs I was pacing wondering why the men we had sent to attack Bianchi’s estate had not arrived, my phone rang. I frowned as I looked at the screen because it was an unknown number. Who could it be?Thinking it could be new information regarding Nikolai, I was eager to answer it. I stepped away from Romano. Esposito had gone for a smoke so he wasn’t anywhere near where we were.“Hello, “ I spoke as soon as I placed the phone against my ear.“It’s Anabelle. I need you to make sure you are nowhere near the people around you. Walk away from everyone now. “ The voice on the other end said.I recognized that it was indeed Anabelle from her voice. I could recognize it anywhere. I put my hand on my mouth and did as she had instructed. I knew I shouldn’t have trusted anyone but my instincts told me I could trust her.“Where have you been? “ I asked, wondering why she had been missing all that time.“Look, I can’t talk for long. It was a trap. Bianchi is not an enemy. You can’t trust anyone. You’

Chapter: First Suspect“ You know something, don’t you? This can end right now or we can go all night. “ Lorenzo said and removed his coat for emphasis.He proceeded to fold the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows. I didn’t understand why he insisted on wearing a suit when he was only going to torture people. It was a waste of the perfectly tailored expensive Armani.We were in the basement of the new house and there was a man tied to a chair. It was only the three of us in the room. The man was believed to have known what happened to the estate. He was one of the guards who had survived.We had yet to find the rest and it begged the question of why they were hiding in the first place. I had made it my responsibility to know everyone who had died during the attack. Those who were survivors and hadn’t come forward were suspects.Before the man could speak, my phone rang and I headed out to pick it up. It was one of the suppliers and I prayed it was good news or else he would pay. My patience was thinner than

Chapter: NikolaiMy head was buzzing and my ears were ringing. There was an undeniable pain in my right leg and stomach. I was beginning to think I was in purgatory for all the bad things that I had done. I tried unsuccessfully to pry my eyes open.Every time I did that, my head hurt like small pins were being dropped on my head. I let out a groan when I was finally able to open my eyes. I was surprised when I saw darkness everywhere.If it wasn’t for the fact that I was sure that I had opened my eyes, I would have been doubtful of the fact that they were open. I tried to walk and that was when I registered that my movement was restricted.There were shackles on both my arms, pulling them apart like I was on a cross. My feet, on the other hand, were shackled to the wall behind me but they were closer together than my arms.Where the fuck was I?I tried to remember the events of the past few days but my memory was foggy and my thoughts were all over the place. I wanted to get out of that place that had

Chapter: Endless SuspicionsLivia fell asleep in my arms, so I carried her to her bed and tucked her in real nice. When she was asleep, I kissed her on the forehead and left her room. I went to the surveillance footage of her room and I didn’t find anything suspicious from the previous day. When she came from shopping, she stripped naked and went straight to the shower. It was an indicator that she had gotten upset over shopping. Her story about homesickness was checking out, but I needed to ask Sonya.I had to be smart about it, or else she wouldn’t tell me anything. She was bound to cover for her friend. If I worded my words the right way, she would sing like a canary. I picked up my phone and dialed her number. “Why do I have the displeasure of speaking to you this afternoon, Pakhan?”“I wanted to ask you something.”“Oh, and here I thought you wanted to say hi to me.”She was the only person who made me want to so something sassy like roll my eyes. She thought she was funny with her sarcastic remarks but

Chapter: Are You Responsible?Maxim was suspicious of me, I could tell. If I had just played it cool and acted unbothered, he would have never had doubts that I had something do to with whatever had happened in his meeting. He looked at me like he knew I was behind everything. It was clear something really bad had happened while they were out doing their business. “Did you know something would happen? You acted weird in the morning like you didn’t want me to leave. What did you do?”My acting skills were going to have to save me from the whole situation. I couldn’t let Maxim find out that I had put a bug on him. If I did, he would kill me, and Alfonso would kill Allegra. In that moment, I wished the ground would just open up and swallow me alive. “What happened? I didn’t even know something went wrong until you told me just now.” I said. He looked for any signs of deceit in my eyes, but he wouldn’t find any because I was a pro at acting like nothing was going on. “Maxim, talk to me. Did anyone get hurt?” I as

Chapter: The Meeting (Maxim)I shook my head. That was not an option.“I don’t know when I will see Akira again. I can’t refuse to see him. We have to move first before someone catches on to what we are doing. Takumi might kill him once he finds out, and I can’t let that happen.”“You’re right. The Yakuza are Alfonso’s biggest allies. If we take them away, we take away some of his power.”As we were driven to the location where we would meet Akira, we went over what we would discuss. All we needed was to meet with him, give him our weapons, and then leave.The meeting didn’t even have to take that long. The ride out of town was not that long. Within minutes, we had arrived. Once we were there, we waited inside an abandoned building.We were there for ten minutes before Akira showed up.“You’re late,” I said to him as soon as he was there. I didn’t like it when people wasted my time.“I apologize for my tardiness. I thought someone was following me, so we had to lose them, but don’t worry, no one followed me here

Chapter: Before the Meeting (Maxim)Livia was acting weird. I could tell something was weighing heavy on her, and she didn’t want to tell me what it was. When she told me she was homesick, I didn’t believe her.But when I was in the shower, I tried to put myself in her shoes. If I were the one who had been kidnapped and sold to the highest bidder, I would miss home as well. especially because she was in a foreign land that she wasn’t used to. Most people never adapted to the cold weather in Russia.And she seemed to hate it at first, but I thought she had already gotten used to it. Looking back, I realize it was naïve for me to think such a thing. She probably was not used to it, and she wanted to go back.However, I wouldn’t let her go, so I had to find a way to get her not to miss more.Even if she was struck with homesickness, I knew there was something else that bothered her. I let her be, thinking that she would probably tell me when the time was right. And even if she didn’t, I would respect her wishes.She helped

Chapter: DilemmaI looked at the bug in my hand, wondering what would happen once I planted it. I couldn’t help the tears that fell down my face. I didn’t dare sob because of the driver.If he was working for Vadim, he would tell him everything I did. I couldn’t risk all that. I had to pretend I was cool with everything.Just as I was starting to be happy, Vadim came and ruined everything. It was clear he wanted the throne for himself. If he thought Alfonso was above killing him just to control both the Russian and Italian mafias, he was wrong.Alfonso had no loyalty to anyone but himself. He only looked after himself and did anything that would make him happy or bring him more wealth. That was why he was willing to sell his own daughters.Vadim was better off accepting the high rank in Maxim’s organization rather than aligning himself with a man like that. However, something told me he wasn’t any better.“We’re here,” the driver said.I hesitated before getting out of the car. How could I go out ther

Chapter: Vadim's OrdersI scooted as far away from him as I could, and he just laughed it off. He enjoyed making me squirm and nervous. I wished I could control my emotions quickly, but I couldn’t. I had just seen Carlos.Wherever Carlos was, Alfonso was probably lurking in the shadows. He liked his children doing his dirty work for him. I wouldn’t be shocked if he was nearby, watching me getting scared and getting a good laugh.“You seem happy, Ottavia. Your father doesn’t like that. He thinks we should spice things up.”I knew he was watching me. I should not have been foolish enough to think I could be happy after Alfonso found me. I should have known the burst of joy would come at a cost. He hated seeing others happy.“What do you want?” I asked as I looked out the window.“Oh, don’t look so sad. It’s not a bad thing. Honestly, I think you should have known better than to fall for a man like him. Maxim will kill you the moment he discovers you are nothing but a traitor.”I didn’t dare look at Vadim. He e
