Nikolai POV. I couldn’t sleep, I was planning on how to save Devil, who’d thought after all that I’ll be the one saving the hitman with no loyalties, but to have my chance with Elle. Elle I could just taste her name, French origin, meaning her, it’s beautiful. It matches her perfectly, but for now, I had to focus on work, for now me, Paul, Marco and some of my most trusted man are in my office we are planning how to save Devil and get the princess home. Around five-ish, Paul received a call, she agreed, she took the deal, and she’s going to be mine now. But Paul said she have some terms, this would be fun, I couldn’t wait to hear all of her terms, we’re getting her here first thing in the morning, we’ll talk her terms as she put them. Devil won’t be moved until the night, it’s better to keep a low profile while moving a total psycho from one place to another secure location. Paul couldn’t get the location, but we knew the time and the car they are driving, if my connection are corr

Devil POV.Oh god I hate the Irish, they are bad employee, too sloppy, not enough information, and un-trustable, and that’s my friends is exactly why I didn’t work for them, I worked against them. But joke on me, my mission was compromised, and I’m sad to say I was caught. I wasn’t thinking about me in that moment, I didn’t really care about me, what I was really worried about was Elle, I promised to come home to her, to explain things. She was worried I didn’t like her anymore, I could see that in her eyes when she looked at me, she was scared I’d give her up. I’d give my left kidney over for her, well my right one too, I’d give my whole life for her, after the four months were over and she agreed on staying with me, I was so happy, my life changed then, to the better.

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.

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
