Elle POV. Do I pray for them to save her or not, if they manage to save her, I’ll belong to Nikolai, if not she’ll be dead and I’ll be alone. But which one is worse? To have Devil alive and breathing but away from me, or to have her dead? The choice was easy, it’s why I made it the first time, I want her to be safe, even if that mean spending my life with Nikolai, for now I’m on my knees praying. I waited, the day is passing, night is almost here, I had food delivered to my room, not by Paul, I wish it was someone I know, instead it was delivered by some woman that I don’t know. I didn’t eat, I didn’t feel like eating, I was worried and scared, I just need to make sure she’s okay, she’s alive. It wasn’t until night time that I was summoned, it was weird, the same woman from before told me that, I’m summoned to the boss office. I followed her into the boss office, it’s the same office of this morning, Nikolai’s office. She knocked on the door and left, I heard a come in, I guess tha
Elle POV.The tour started in his office, he told me I should always remember my way over here, it’s where he is most of the time, next we moved toward the rest of the house, rooms, gym, cinema, entertainment room, it’s a big house, filled with people. He said I have full access through the house, I could go anywhere I want around the house, not that I’m really interested in all of that. Finally, it was the room we’ll now share, isn’t he worried about sleeping in the same room as me, what if I tried to kill him, I could do it, he doesn’t know or trust me that much to believe I won’t do it. We walked into what I assume is his room, the room was giant, a bed taking the middle of the room, the covers were all dark royal blue, there was a giant bookshelf in the room most of it filled with books. There was a walk in closet, and finally a bathroom, I stood next to the door not knowing what to do anymore, do I walk in? Do I try to kill him? Not that I know how to kill a person or even clos
Elle POV. I waited for Nikolai to get up first, he moved toward the bathroom, I could hear the shower turning on, I sat in bed quietly, I didn’t know what to do, I was scared, and quiet waiting for him to get done with his shower. He came out, after few minutes, hair dropping with water, he had a towel wrapped around his waist and nothing else, I blushed and tried to look away but in reality I didn’t want to look away, I wanted to look at his muscles. He brushed his hair letting water drop over his shoulders and back, he then moved to get his clothes of the day ready, a suit, I never saw anyone make getting ready so interesting, when his towel dropped, I closed my eyes, well I half-closed them, half opened them, still looking, don’t blame me, my only encounter with male human body is unwanted one, on tv, or stories I’ve written. “Enjoying the show?” he asks making my face turn red, I don’t answer him, I don’t feel like answering, not such a question. “Hmm, shy I see, it’s your tur
Nikolai POV.I shouldn’t have taken my anger off on Elle, I should’ve stayed in control, but I did, I couldn’t hold back, seeing her with my cousin, with Angelo, that put me in a bad mood. The same said cousin who just left my office after making his anger known about us saving Devil, he didn’t even know whom we saved, he just knew I’ve attacked the Irish. “First you send a spy to them, next you attack! You’re going to start a war!” Angelo yells. “And is a war with the Irish that bad of an idea cousin?” I answer him, I didn’t have any plans on getting in a war with the Irish not as long as I got some kind of pure bloods coming after me, maybe afterward. “You’re doing a big mistake” Angelo says between gritted teeth, things went down from there, we had a small fight in Italian, him calling me an idiot, and me reminding him that I’m the boss here, and not someone who he can mess with. I did have to quick him out of my office, the fight ended there or it supposed to be done by then,
Elle POV. “Spill Elle, I could see it in your eyes, now talk” Paul my friend was grilling me to know what happened, I wasn’t happy, it’s not like I’m sad. These days I’m really happy, Nikolai is taking good care of me, I’m mostly happy, we found a good routine for the two of us, we both share our love for coffee that might be the number one thing we bonded over. “He asked about my favorite coffee, you know I told him all about my coffee addiction, I live for coffee Pauly” I say lying through my teeth, we did bond over coffee but that’s not what he meant, he meant why I’m so low today, but I didn’t want to talk about that. “It’s not coffee I’m asking about Elle” Paul says knowing I’m trying to get out of it. “Well, what else do you want me to tell you about?” I ask acting all innocent. “The reason you’ve been crying the whole morning, why you are so low today?” he asks, talk about being direct, although I love Paul, I don’t want to talk about it. “I wasn’t crying, my eyes were di
Nikolai POV. I hate leaving Elle when she needs me, I know she’s just having a bad day, but I couldn’t stay here and hold her, although I wanted to, I couldn’t I had to leave, I had to get to work, things are going badly yet again, it’s not my choice really, I’m more forced to do so. I know she’s having a special relation with Paul during her stay I could see that, first I was kind of angry at them but then I found out, it’s more of a brother and sister relation, Paul only wants her to be safe, he wants to be her friend, and protector. Elle got her own charm, she could get anyone to care for her, to be worried about her, to want to be there for her, for a minute you’d think that girl is using black magic to get everyone in the house to like her, everyone except Angelo, but the jerk doesn’t even like himself to love someone else. It was afternoon when I received a message from Paul, he’s telling me that he wants to take Elle out, I wanted to say no to that, but then Paul sent anoth
Devil POV. Four damn months, it’s been four damn long months since I saw her, since I held her, is she okay! Is she safe, does she wants me too or does she hate me now, but what I know for now, is that I had to do something to contact her. I could call her phone, is she still staying I my apartment, that place rent was paid for the next year, she could stay there and I’ll be more than okay with that. Finally deciding to do something, ever since I left home, it’s home, that’s what Elle was for me, she was home, it’s where I feel the best, the happiest, the safest, but I lost her, I lost the privilege of holding her, but I’m getting it back. I never give up, if I did, I won’t be here, I did move away, but I didn’t run away, I had to go under the radar for a bit. But I’m working, I’m plotting my coming back, and I’ll be back bitches, I’m the devil after all, and I’ll always fall on my feet. In my hiding, I did manage to get myself a new identity, my old one was burned, I had to change
Devil POV. Last call to all the passengers of fly 1996, the microphone said, I was late to get on the plane, I’m the last one to get on the plane, but since I’m late everyone is just waiting for me. I walked in like I own the place, I feel like I own the place although I don’t, but if you act like it, everyone would believe it. I took my seat, and asked the flight attendant for champagne, I had to sit down and wait for now, I have big plans, I can’t go back to my home, my place is burned out, instead I decided to book myself a room in the hotel, that’s much better, I don’t plan on staying here for long, I’m just here to get what belongs to me back, it’s time for me to just sit out of the game, hitman job isn’t a forever job, I do plan on getting another more stable job in the end one way or another. “Please buckle your seatbelts, we’re about to land” another voice calls, I take my earphones out of my ears and got my seatbelt done waiting for the landing, I was the last to leave the
