Chapter 98 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ I sat across from Ignacio and Stacy at the dining table, picking steadily at my food while absentmindedly listening on Stacy's tantrums with her father. Her voice had become more like a persistent bug in my ear, or a bad music from a broken radio on a rainy day that wouldn't just stop playing. Her father listened as she filled him in on all the shoppings she had done, how perfect her day had gone except the part where I humiliated her in front of her friends. I braced myself for Ignacio’s queries when I felt his cold gaze on me, but I didn't spare him a glance, barely continued picking on my food. “Do you have anything to say, boy?” Ignacio asked, his voice holding a hint of menace. I looked up with a quizzical frown, “Not that I remember,” I answered easily, while still keeping my voice low and controlled. Ignacio glanced between me and Stacy, who was pouting like a kid who had been denied a sweet treat. I mentally rolled my eyes while still
Chapter 99 ALLESIA ~~~^~~~ Two days had passed since Nikolai delivered the chilling news about Russel's fiancée and her family's intentions. Yet, I found myself still paralyzed by indecision, unable to muster the courage to reach out to Russel like Nikolai suggested. I couldn't even return home for fear of being suffocated in my sleep or something even more gore. As I opened the file Nikolai had handed me, the first file contained an address, with the name indicating that it was one of Russel's estates in York. Then there was also his private number, which was different from the one I had previously and there specific instructions for me to never call more than twice at a time. Like I was even planning to call, I thought with a scoff. Flipping through the pages cautiously, I paused to stare at the picture of a beautiful young woman, most likely in her late twenties. Inside the file were other documents and detailed information about The Salvatore's, whose nuclear fam
Chapter 100 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ Nikolai insisted on driving me home and there was no talking him out of it. We rode I silence, the closer we got, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease growing in the pit of my stomach. Surprisingly, my car was parked outside the apartment when we drove into the compound and Mrs. Willowby was sitting outside even though it was several minutes past nine in the evening. She flashed me a knowing smile, which I returned warmly. I could tell Mrs. Willowby saw Nikolai as a potential suitor for me and the fact that I was still in the same clothes I left in three nights ago most likely added to whatever silly thoughts must be going through her head. “How did my car get here?” “I had Manuel bring it the night I took you.” He replied gruffly. A frowned settled between my brows, “How did you know it was mine?” “I had been following you for a while before taking you.” He provided a key from his pocket and proceeded to open my door himself,
Chapter 101 RUSSEL I drove out of Ignacio's mansion furiously, my temper boiling. For the first time in nearly three weeks, Luca had finally gotten somewhere with his search for Allesia, and I should be feeling relieved, but instead, there was this irrefutable anger bubbling inside me. You would think that Nikolai had given up his interest in Allesia with the way he was acting the weeks prior to her leaving, but just learning that he knew about her being in New York the whole time and yet he chose to keep it from me was not half as disappointing as finding out she had spent three days curled up in his bed doing God knows what. I could have been fooled to think I was protecting her by sending her away, but who could have thought she was waiting for the slightest chance to jump back into the bed of her ex, my supposed ‘friend.’ I honked outside Nikolai's gate until his gateman opened it. I was quite disappointed that none of his men cared to stop me when I parked the car roughly i
Chapter 102 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ The studio lights were blinding as Nolan led me in. To add to my anxiety, the room was swimming with the cast and crew either fixing their hair, adding a touch to their makeup or rehearsing dance moves. When Nolan said he was a popular artist around here, I had expected a small band of college boys trying to impress teenage girls, but seeing all the buzz and activity here, these expensive cameras, his crew and all that costume, I was totally shocked. “All these people are here for you?” Nolan smirked, “I'm still surprised you don't know me, Allesia,” he said in a cool voice, “But that's even the more reason why this is going to be interesting and thrilling.” A frown settled between my brows, “You mean you're that famous?” I asked as I pointed to a herd of people flashing their cameras just to get a shot of Nolan. He shrugged lightly, “I already told you the other night.” Turning, he waved to the frenzied crown as they took several shots,
Chapter 103 RUSSEL >
Chapter 104 RUSSEL >“Nikolai!” Stacy called in disbelief. I suppose you both shopped at the same boutique.” He remarked, his tone nonchalant. “How could you!” Stacy growled, “She's a cheap, poor who–” Allesia leaned in and placed a finger over Stacy’s lips, silencing her, “I wouldn't want to ruin my big day, Stacy,” Allesia spoke in a slow drowsy voice, “So why don't you pretend I'm not here and we can both act like you didn't try to kill me while you have your man,” She glanced at me and winked flirtatiously, “Who I've fucked countless times by the way?” Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, and the gasps that followed that comment, especially from the young ladies, was enough to make a
Chapter 105ALLESIA~~~0~~~When I agreed to come here, I didn't give much thought to the emotions I would get on seeing Russel again. It took Nikolai several tries to finally convince me to agree, and now that I was here, I wasn't sure if I truly belonged. I had imagined I was making progress in forgetting him, but seeing him on that altar, even if it was just a charade felt like so many thorns were being driven through my body all at once.“What do we do with the allies, Boss?” Luca asked Russel.“Line them up,” He commanded, his tone cold and emotionless.“Right away, Boss.”“And the Salvatores?” Kegan inquired.Russel snatched two pairs of handcuffs from a briefcase Luca held up for him, dragged Ignacio to a pole, and cuffed both his hands to it as Ignacio cursed and screamed his lungs out. When he was satisfied, he spared Stacy an irritated glance before twisting her hands forcefully to the back, cuffing them, then he pocketed the keys. He then shoved Stacy towards Nikolai as a
