Nikolai POV. When I got closer to her, I could see her looking around, she was looking around, her left foot was tapping up and down, she didn’t look very comfortable, maybe this is a trap after all, I walked toward her, keeping my poker face on. She gave me a smile, not a real one, not a business one either, she looked like she just saw a ghost, maybe she did, with how crazy she is, I don’t doubt that, she could have done just that. “Devil” I say taking a seat in front of her, she tries to make the smile real, but I could easily tell she’s lying. “Nikolai, what a joy” she says, the words not reaching her eyes, under the fear of her being bugged, I decided to be extremely careful talking with her now. “What would you like to drink?” I ask her to stay under the disguise of us having a date, a date with the Devil, I’m sure the police would enjoy making up stories of me being with her right now.“Wine please,” she says, I call our waiter, and ask for two glasses of wine, wine wouldn’

Elle POV, “Mommy, do you like me still?” I ask her, our four months are over, but I’m still here, I don’t want to leave, I think I found someone who I want to spend my life with, sex isn’t going great with us, we make out, we cuddle, we kiss, she sees me naked, I see her naked but it’s not going much farther than that. “Like you, love you, want you” Devil answers right away, she’s been busy lately, we’re not spending as much time together as we did before, if I need her at night I have to call her, but she doesn’t always answer, she have some new jobs, but it’s not just the jobs that got me worried, I already know she works, I know what her job is. But it’s something else that got me feeling not enough, Devil had sex with someone who’s not me, she refused to tell me whom, I didn’t ask not right away but I knew she did, she had marks, bite marks, even in her job, I don’t think she torture bad guys by making them bite her or have sex with her. I tried to have the sex talk again, may

Elle POV.Last night was awful, I cried through the night, and Devil didn’t come back, I waited and waited but she didn’t come back, not even when the sun came up, not when the day started, not when I had to get up, not when work time came and I had to get ready. I made a giant cup of coffee, I had it through the morning. A sip while checking my notification and emails, my editors take forever to reply and guess what their answer is never what you wanna hear. Next I answered to my comments, the thing that keep me working, other than Devil no one ever said any good comment about me. I took more sips of my coffee getting dressed for work, I was mostly dragging myself forward, my legs refused to lift up from the floor, I was a walking zombie, but work had to be done, I borrowed some of Devil’s make up, everything was a shade too dark for me, but she did have some lighter ones she bought to teach me on how to use them, I took advantage of that, I did some face painting, didn’t do a great

I broke and told him everything, he knew Devil’s work, I didn’t dare to tell, to say she’s a hired killer, she’d kill me for sure if I do that, but he knew, I didn’t know how he knew, I should ask him. But for all now all I care about is him pulling some strings and asking about my Devil, I’d do anything to keep her safe, I just want to know she’s safe, even if she doesn’t want me anymore.

Nikolai POV. People who work for me are my family, this is a family business, that’s what the old man used to say, the guy I called pop, that’s my grandpa, I’m his only boy grandson, his only grandson really, and so I took over the work, I became the boss after him. But unlike the old man, I do count everyone as my family, every single one of them, I’m not picky about the blood, what I’m picky about is their loyalties, some like Angelo they are in because they are my family and they had to be in, but others, they are hand picked by me, I have their loyalties, I know they would give their lives for me. But I also would kick their asses when they mess up, when they need it, and believe when I say sometimes they do need it. Paul was one of my best mans, after Marco of course, he’s younger, he had a crazy upbringing, a boxer at a younger age, almost dead, but now he belongs to my family, and him messing up again, he deserved a good punishment, one that would get him to fix his acts.

Paul and the guy went to have a private talk, probably talking if they need to kick me out or help me, I was hoping for help. There were other people in the house, the smell of food was filling the place, some were joking others were laughing, but everyone did a double take at me, making me blush, I never loved being the center of attention, only Devil’s attention, not everyone. It’s why I always preferred books over human interaction, that and coffee, coffee is always number one. After too long of me standing there like a human plant, Paul and the guy came back, the other guy had a smile on his face, but Paul didn’t look as happy, he looked worried. I looked at Paul what do we do now?“Why don’t we sit down and have dinner first, Paul, invite our
