Working for him

I closed my eyes to think about all this, to try to find an escape route that would make it all more bearable, but there was none... and apparently, I fell asleep because when I woke up, I was in a comfortable bed with white sheets in a room with dark curtains and linen canopies everywhere.

I sat up abruptly, scared at first and resigned afterward. We must be in Russia by now.

"You finally woke up. You have no idea how hard it was to bring you here," he said reproachfully.

"Nikolay..."

"Come with me; I want to show you something," he extended his hand, but I didn't dare take it.

I didn't feel like getting out of bed, leaving the room, but I followed him without protesting.

We walked through some hallways until we reached a kind of basement. He opened the door and turned on the light. Then, I saw him: Mike was tied to some kind of post, with a gag in his mouth.

I wanted to run to hug him, but his fearful look stopped me. Nikolay approached and removed the gag, receiving a spit from my brother.

Nikolay just smiled, then grabbed Mike's neck forcefully, to which I reacted.

"No! Let him go!" I shouted in fear.

"I'm sorry, Margaret. No one challenges me."

However, Nikolay released Mike's neck and gestured for me to come closer.

While I hugged him, the Russian's voice was over our heads:

"You should be grateful, Mike. She is willing to do anything to save you," he said in a cynical tone that made me grit my teeth.

"Don't involve her in this, Nikolay," my brother spat angrily. "She has a life, and I want her to have it away from this shit."

"Too late for that..." he chuckled amused.

"My sister is not going to be your personal whore, Nikolay!"

"That's our business, American," he now said dryly. "When I get what you owe me, you can leave."

"Wait... You told me you would release Mike," I turned to him, looking into his eyes.

"And I will, babe," he nodded, softening his tone. "But only when I'm sure I can trust you."

Nikolay left, locking the door behind him. I looked at my brother, and our gazes met.

In his, there was only shame, and in mine, disappointment.

"I'm waiting for an explanation, Mike," I crossed my arms, annoyed.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to give you the best," he sighed.

"At the cost of risking your life? I don't want that!" I suddenly became hysterical.

"But..."

"I love you, and I want us to be okay, to be happy. Getting involved with mafias won't help you live peacefully," I said, closing my eyes, tired.

"It helps us have money, Margo," he said in a condescending tone.

"I don't give a damn about money, Mike!"

"I thought this was the right thing. I thought it could keep you safe and away from all this," he said, distressed, "but I was wrong."

"I know very well what Nikolay wants in exchange for setting you free, and if I have to do it, I'll swallow my pride and do it, but you'll be free," I said decisively, to Mike's frightened look.

"You don't know what you're getting into..."

"And do you?" I retorted. "You've done enough, Mike. Now let your little sister take control of the situation." At that moment, I felt like I grew a few inches.

"I'm sorry, Margaret."

The door opened again, and Nikolay was watching us. He no longer wore his suit but had changed into dark jeans and a white shirt.

I had to admit Nikolay was a very handsome man. His gray eyes, his black rebellious hair, fair skin, muscular build, his height...

He was the type of man any woman would fall for, and if I had met him under different circumstances, I might have even tried something with him. But now... Nikolay was my enemy, the person I hated the most on earth, and if I agreed to what he wanted, it would only be for Mike.

"Come on, Margaret..."

I looked at my brother, who shook his head, as if wanting me to step back and change all this, but I wouldn't.

I squeezed his shoulder with a weary smile and walked away with Nikolay.

It was time to imagine that my new job would start from that moment.

Nikolay and I had a deal, and in exchange, Mike would be free. Perhaps Nikolay wouldn't keep his promise, but it was already too late to regret and try to escape; that was impossible.

The man walked alongside me, showing me the grand house where I would now live. The last stop of our tour was the room where I woke up. A spacious room filled with paintings and tapestries, featuring an impressive bed with linen canopies.

There was also a lamp that Nikolay took care to light. Until that moment, I hadn't noticed the chill with the black dress and matching red coat.

I approached the fireplace under the man's watchful gaze, took off my coat, placed it on a chair, and warmed my hands. Nikolay approached me and turned me to face him.

He licked his lips as he observed me and slipped his hands under my dress to caress my backside.

"We'll have fun tonight, I assure you," he said, and then his lips collided with mine.

It was a violent and forceful kiss that I couldn't reciprocate because I didn't expect it. Nikolay smiled at my reaction and left, locking the door behind him.

I felt overwhelmed. I wasn't prepared to be with him, so I decided to take a shower and gather my thoughts.

When I came out of the bathroom, I lay down on the bed to try to rest from the journey and rid myself of worries.

I succeeded in finding a moment of peace, at least for now...

I succeeded...

    When we left Nikolay's grand mansion, we got into a luxurious vehicle.It wasn't the typical limousine that the chauffeur would drive, like the last time we shared a vehicle, as that implied he could grope me at will.I assumed Nikolay wanted to make sure I fulfilled the mission, and he measured everything to the millimeter.On the way, I wanted to know the details of my mission, and Nikolay explained that I had to seduce a very important Russian politician deeply involved in his world of drugs, sex, and alcohol.

    Playing with fireNow I was in a tight spot. I had to go all the way, even if it hurt, and I wanted to escape, but I would never tell him I was a virgin. That would anger him, or who knows... I truly didn't know anything about Nikolay, and I didn't want to.For me, he was a bad person, and only when I was away from him would I feel better.Nikolay laid me back on the bed with him on top, slowly caressing every exposed part of my body with his hands and tongue. I couldn't help but react to it; truth be told, I liked what he was doing as a woman, but...I couldn't move or prevent myself from moaning when he slipped his hand under my panties, caressing that desire-filled place that was starting to moisten within me. In my past relationships, we almost always reached this point, but then something happened that made us stop.I wanted him to stop; I wished the same thing would happen as always, but I was sure it wouldn't.

However, once I reached the basement door, I became aware that if Mike saw me like this, he would want to kill Nikolay, and in his condition, it would only happen the other way around.So I stayed in the hallway, crying like a baby, caring only about releasing my emotions.I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up, I was again on a comfortable bed, his bed. I jumped off it like a spring.I was alone in the room, but I didn't want to stay there.

    Moral conflictsWhen I woke up the next morning, I acted on autopilot.I dressed in that dark silk dress Nikolay had prepared for me, matching dark and suggestive lingerie, and high-heeled shoes as usual.I was surprised to still be alone in the room, or so I thought, because when I entered the bathroom, I saw Nikolay with a towel around his waist, drying his hair with another towel. Water dripped down his strong back, and a shiver ran through me.I quickly moved away before he noticed me and sat at the vanity. I had to calm down and divert my thoughts to other things. Yes, that's it.I started to do my makeup and hair, and then Nikolay came out of the bathroom, fortunately already dressed. I sighed in relief to see him in a suit, and it amused me to watch him struggle with the tie."It seems like you're feeling better," he seemed somewhat nervous, "I insist, I apologize for yesterday's hit...""Forget it, Nikolay," I replied quickly and coldly."It won't happen again," he promised.I

    A monster "You haven't done anything," he said seriously.“I am your damn bait! I couldn't be at ease. How could he?”“And now you work for me. You should be grateful.” He cornered me against the wall, looking at me sternly.“I'm not grateful to you, because if I'm doing this, it's not for you or for me, it's for Mike…” I snapped dryly, knowing my words didn't please him.“It's the least you owe me. Let's go.”I followed Nikolay's orders and left the building with him, heading towards his vehicle. I assumed we were going to his house. On the way, I thought about everything I had seen and experienced that day.I couldn't understand how a person could enjoy being immersed in such a dangerous world. Until I met Nikolay, I thought people were good, and society made them bad, but killing for pleasure seemed to me the most despicable and cowardly thing.Nikolay killed people; he was a dangerous man, and my brother and I were now under his control. Of course, if my brother were a decent an

I don't want a scumbag like Nikolay to take away your innocence all at once," he pleaded."Mike, relax," I tried to comfort him, but he pulled away somewhat agitated."He's a damn pig, and I don't want...""Mike, the other day we couldn't talk much, and I have many questions," I told him very seriously."Go ahead...""How did you get into this world, how did you meet Nikolay?"He snorted, looking frustrated."The third time I came to Russia, I already had some friends," he shook his head. "One of them advised me to work for Nikolay, said I would make a lot of money, and I didn't hesitate."I felt a chill run down my spine.“And what happened next?”“I had to make a payment to Nikolay, but they stole the money from me.

    A woman with characterSure, he could have anyone he wanted, but... oh, I'm getting tangled up in my thoughts...I didn't want to dwell on it, there was nothing to think about, so I chose the outfit for that night and, after Nikolay's approval, went to shower and change.For this occasion, I chose a dress in golden tones with dark embellishments that ran from one side of the body to the other. I selected matching accessories and decided to style my hair in a braided updo.Once ready, I faced Nikolay's appreciative gaze. He smiled eagerly and offered me his arm, to which I didn't know how to react."Come on, Margaret... I don't bite," he teased."It's true, you do worse things," I retorted."Bury the hatchet just for tonight, okay?" he asked, seeming sincere."I have no other choice. Let's go," I sighed.Finally, I accepted the arm he offered, and we left the house, realizing how beautiful and large it was. I wondered where we would go for dinner and with whom.The chauffeur took us in

    Recovering KatrinaMargaret The next morning, I changed my clothes and headed towards Katrina's room. It had been some time since I had set up her crib in the adjoining room, and I felt very strange without my little one nearby. Although thanks to her and John, Nikolay was back by my side, and this time I wasn't going to lose him for anything in the world.I had arranged to meet him in Central Park, but first I needed to feed and bathe Katrina.I entered her room and approached the crib with a smile... a smile that froze on my face when I saw the empty crib. I tried not to lose my mind, but it was very difficult.Then, I remembered the kind conversation I had with Mike, and something didn't add up.I had never wanted to harm anyone, but I knew that if I found the man I once called brother, it would be very difficult for me not to kill him for taking my daughter.I ran to the living room and called Nikolay, who answered on the second ring.

I needed to see it with my own damn eyes.I glanced at the clock. It was lunchtime, and for sure my Margo was with that guy, living the life I had yearned for all my life.Since the confrontation we had that night in the park, I had avoided crossing paths with him by all means, and I even gave Margaret a choice, but I had to leave far away and now I was back.I couldn't believe what had happened; Margaret had gone through a lot, and the

    A ProposalNikolayI had to travel to Russia following an important lead and sort out some matters.I missed my wife and daughter terribly, so I sent for them when I realized my affairs were going to delay me more than expected.We then spent another week in New York. I made sure to see Margaret every day when I had a free moment, as the rest of the day I was busy running errands and working like crazy to wrap up all my business.I didn't want to condemn my daughter to a bad life, nor Margaret, although I wasn't ready to break this news to her yet.During those days, I didn't encounter Mike again, and that was a relief. The bastard had begged me for mercy, and although I usually didn't give it to anyone, I thought of Margaret and how sad she would be if I ended her only brother, even if he was an asshole.It's not like I cared in the slightest about what he thought, but I had to keep an eye on him from now on, mainly because he loved Margaret, or so he said. Besides, I was sure that i

    Family DinnerI didn't know Nikolay's brothers well, but the last time they all appeared together; it had been fun, crazy, and overwhelming at the same time.One thing all the Ivanov brothers had in common was their love for splurging money and, above all, arguing with each other over any little thing.Although they hadn't had the chance to travel yet, Nikolay's brothers had photos of Kat, and they had sent her beautiful gifts, although I had to return one or two.It seemed that Yarik thought a necklace and earrings of rubies were appropriate for a baby who hadn't even turned two yet.After he got the message, he deigned to copy his sisters' gifts and sent toys and clothes. The only brother who had held baby Kat in his arms was Levy. Nikolay acted as if he didn't care, but he couldn't completely hide the smile on his face.But my daughter hadn't met her grandparents yet, and that terrified me a little.Victoria and Alexey Ivanov, as always, looked like they came out of a magazine, but

    The Baby On The Way"LOOK AT THE DAMN ROAD, NIKOLAY IVANOV!" she screamed with panic, almost deafening me."Is it time already? Are you giving birth?" I felt my heart in my mouth, Margaret seemed to be pushing and I didn't want to receive her under these circumstances. "Damn it, what do I do?!""Just keep driving! Ahhhh!" she screamed and the pained groan sent shivers down my spine.I felt like I was going to lose my damn mind.We raced to the emergency room and they almost had to put me on a gurney, but I didn't want to miss the birth of my daughter, so I had to behave like a true man and get up from there, having one of the most memorable episodes when I heard my baby's cry.My girl, a beautiful baby girl whom I could smother with kisses, starting with those chubby cheeks."You're strong and brave, baby," I kissed her sweaty forehead and she smiled at me.

A shiver ran down my spine."Sir, I've been called by the police, where Mike was detained, reporting that he escaped and they haven't found him yet."The hair on the back of my neck stood up."Tyrell, how is that possible?" I pounded the table in frustration. "Call Abel and sort this out now."My mind raced; I couldn't believe it. He was sick. Would he come here?Margaret.I looked at Tyrell with wide eyes, and he nodded with concern. He knew what I was thinking."Have Luca be Margaret's bodyguard. I don't want her going anywhere alone, understood?" Tyrell nodded. "Alright, I want Luca with her. I don't know how I'll do it, but I'll try to convince him," I sighed and rubbed my temples.This would be a problem, I knew it. This was a sign that someone like me didn't deserve to be happy; eventually, the darkness of my past would catch up with me, preventing me from being happy."Yes, sir.

    HitsNikolayAfter leaving Margaret with my sister and Kate, I couldn't help but feel uneasy, like a strange premonition in my stomach.I was sure it wasn't paranoia; it was a feeling I had often when danger was looming, and I hoped none of our enemies would dare to ruin my wife's vacation, because they would have to deal with me.I was capable of pulling out someone's teeth one by one if they interfered.I tried to relax and called Will; he could surely cover for me for a few days while I stayed close to Margaret, just in case.I left the hotel where I was staying, wanting to clear my mind and wondering if it was Jennifer or that idiot Mike lurking around to continue messing with our lives.I strolled leisurely, contemplating the scenery, but something interrupted my peaceful walk. Someone managed to block me and threw me to the ground roughly.Seeing that it was Mike, I counted to ten. I had to avoid hurting him by all means, or Margaret would be angry.

"And now you want to go after a girl? What happened to 'if I've seen you once, I don't remember you'?""I like her like no other, but you know what women want from us," he chuckled.Being in our position was sometimes a curse. You never knew when or who might stab you in the back. Women's eyes lit up when they knew you had money."I want to take it slow with her, get to know her, see how things go," he nodded. He was right to take it slow if he wasn't sure."If she's still around tomorrow, we can meet up for dinner or drinks around 4," he patted my shoulder. "I haven't seen you in quite some time," he reminded me.My brother and I got along very well, but we had both been immersed in work, unable to find anything else that motivated us more.
