Blood and Deceit
"Wait..." Nikolai uttered, silencing my footsteps.
What does he want this time? I hope he's not planning on doing anything foolish now, is he?
If he thinks he can outsmart me, it would surely be a mistake on his part.
I turned my gaze to him. "What, Nikolai?" I asked.
"As I said, the goods were delivered safely thanks to me, but there were some errors that almost occurred. Don't worry, I took care of it already."
"What errors?"
"Why don't you follow me, Mr. Hawthorne? I will show you."
A second thought I would think of was that, but what could be the sudden issue?
I nodded, following Nikolai, ready for any sudden change from him, for I trusted him not, and if I were to trust either, it wouldn't be a mafia lord like him.
A man who also understands tactics and logic, just like me.

Three weeks After. "You're mine... There's no escaping from that," he uttered, tightening his grip on me. His scent reeked of alcohol; precisely, he was drunk. His eyes darkened with desire as he shoved me onto the bed, pinning me down. I tried resisting, but it was of no use; his brute strength was too much for me to resist. He callously took what he wanted, leaving my body aching as he fell to the other side of the bed, asleep. It had only been three weeks since we had traveled, following his plan not to draw too much attention. But these three weeks had been a hard time for me; I was just his tool, a tool of desire meant to entice him, nothing else.

As his voice faded, I left the wall, retreating back to the restaurant. My eyes fluttered, hoping he didn't see me. Mistakenly bumping into someone, I was stunned. With a simple apology, I stood at the restaurant front, gently awaiting his return from his call. After a few minutes, my eyes caught his approaching figure as I stood up, dusting my clothes. The closer he got, the more uneasy I felt, his last sentence echoing in my mind. "What are you doing out here?" he asked. "Just wanted some air. Can we go back to the mansion? I need to rest," I uttered. He hesitated before giving a nod. Alexander Knightbridge walked out after him, ending some discussions with Sebastian. As he then approached me, his presence made my legs instinctively step back slowly. "Can't wait to have you at my office tomorrow, hmmm, Mrs..." "Scarlet," I uttered sharply. He gave a slight chuckle, extending his hand for a handshake. My thoughts paused before I stretched back my hand, shaking his. His soft gr
