Klaus started the car, giving Anika an amused look. The woman, even if she hadn't been too happy about having to make her way back to the cabin on her own, seemed excited enough at the prospect of going into town for Klaus to let him know It made him feel uneasy, but he enjoyed Anika's suppressed emotion, though he could still see the redness in her eyes from crying.The woman smiled sheepishly at him as she caressed her cast absently, her auburn hair falling in soft waves around her face, the bruises completely gone, revealing clean skin and highlighting the woman's soft features, though most of the time he He had admitted that he found her attractive, at that very moment, he felt his heart tighten at the thought that she was beautiful, the arched eyebrows framing her face perfectly, the dark eyes wide that had always caught his attention, the long thick lashes that on more than one occasion he had admired while she slept, the lips full of the color of peach that he had begun to enjo
Klaus narrowed his eyes in the doctor's direction, fury coursing through his veins, Anika looked between them in confusion, almost involuntarily, the woman took an absent step towards Peter, or whatever the hell the fucking doctor was called, to see her actively backing away from him, made his blood boil, he grabbed Anika by the arm, pulling her hard. "You're not going anywhere," he growled menacingly, Anika's eyes wide with shock and horror at his attitude, but he didn't care. "Let her go," Peter whined, approaching Klaus, who with his free hand drew his gun from inside his coat, pointed it at the man, making him stop, Klaus pulled Anika close to him, loosening his grip on the woman, the last thing he wanted was to completely ruin everything he had worked for. "You don't have to do this," the man said, his jaw clenching, but Klaus ignored him. "Where do you know each other from?" he asked Anika, the woman swallowed hard, she was pale with fear “How do you know who the fuck its him
Klaus inclined his head gently in Anika's direction, resting his forehead against her. "I'm sorry," he whispered before pulling away again to focus his attention on Peter, who shot him a dark look, whatever passed for the man's gaze was not pleasant, not that he really cared, but he was fully alert to anything if the man's attempt to do something, even if he had never considered himself a easy trigger, something about the familiar way they both interacted made his stomach churn to the point where he was seriously considering shooting first, asking questions later. Anika gave him a curious look, but he could still see the betrayal in her eyes, the fear he'd installed in her wouldn't go away that easily, but she wasn't going to back down until his suspicions about the doctor were resolved, and shit, he wished that the man would give him a reason to pierce his forehead with one of his bullets, but for now he would have to maintain his composure and command, the gun in his hand as Peter
Anika walked anxiously in front of the office door, feeling a lump in her throat and a feeling of heaviness on her shoulders, although her arm felt lighter since it was free of the cast, she couldn't help but wonder what was happening? Her heart was pounding and her mind was spinning with questions trying to find an adequate answer, Peter's reaction to seeing her had managed to make her doubt, her friend had always been honest with her, she fully trusted him, but the possessive way in which Klaus had leaned in front of her, the thought of Peter being a threat made her shudder, even if at that very moment she was worried about what might be happening between the men, her heart clenched with fear at the thought of Klaus hurting her or doing something to her friend, although he understood that the man would be worried if her disappearance was officially being exposed by her father as a "kidnapping" and had called Peter directly to let him know, he couldn't help but feel a sudden fear at
On the way back to Moscow, Klaus was tense and anxious, he took a drink of his whiskey and looked at Peter, the man was sitting a couple of meters in front of him, his eyes closed trying to get over his headache from the blows, but fully aware of Klaus's gaze"Did you really leave her alone?" Peter asked, his blue eyes finally meeting Klaus's, who set his glass aside and crossed his arms."It's none of your business" he reminded him "The only reason I brought you with me is because I don't trust you, but you care about Anika enough not to mess up" he added, it irritated him to know that there was history between them, the feeling that Anika could easily rely on whatever the man needed made his stomach clench, especially the man's cocky attitude."If you kill me, you won't be able to get it back, you know that right?" asked the man "Anika doesn't have too many allies""The less the better" Klaus assured, slightly clenching his fists, his knuckles still scarred from what he had done the
…3 years ago….Anika closed her eyes trying to dispel the cramp in her belly, which was beginning to intensify, and the feeling that something was wrong began to alarm her, getting up and trying to find a more comfortable position, she looked at herself in the mirror, she was in the bathroom, where she had been last four hours, trying to get rid of the feeling of anxiety and the cramps in her abdomen, when she saw herself in the mirror, tears filled her eyes immediately, she was thin, although she had tried to eat better once she found out about her pregnancy, all the stress and Mark's demands made it almost impossible for her to rest, she hadn't left the apartment in almost a year, the only reason she knew she was pregnant in the first place was because her period was late, and her mornings were marked by nausea and unpleasant odors, Mark had gotten her a pregnancy test in what she estimated had been her third month, she had no idea of the exact weeks but it had been a sure thing, sh
Stepping out of the private jet, Klaus adjusted his suit jacket and looked at his men, who were waiting for him in the hangar, Ivan leaning back in the car looking jaunty as always, Anatoly beside him, his expression tense, oh the man knew exactly what was coming.Turning to make sure Peter was behind him, he gestured for Peter to follow him, he didn't want to let the man out of his sight after what they had said, a kind of weight and solemnity had settled between the two men as they recognized that the girl would be a priority for both of them, but first, they had important things to take care of."I didn't know you had visitors" Igor said narrowing his eyes in Peter's direction as they reached the car, the doctor remained silent, not acknowledging the man's presence, Klaus ignored him, looking at Anatoly"You have a lot to explain," he said harshly, his brother shrugging and looking at Peter thoughtfully before nodding and facing Klaus, who was pissed off at his attitude, and especi
Three days had passed since Klaus had left her to her fate...and she wasn't sure how to feel about it, although the man had been relatively attentive to her, she knew that in three days a lot could happen, too much, Peter he was her friend, he had helped her at her worst and had even assisted her through a difficult birth, seeing him in the office had been a relief…until Klaus had decided he was a threat, although Anika could understand, after After all, her father had contacted the man, but the thought of him getting hurt because of her made her stomach twist, not to mention being locked up on her own while tough-looking men prowled the cabin every hour, any intention of getting out was dashed. she had gone once she saw that each one had a huge weapon and ready to attack, she had counted about thirty of them, even though she knew that the door was locked and they were there to protect her, she couldn't help but feel complacent. or a prisoner, even if her prison was comfortable, she h
