AdrianAs our lips touch, a spark ignites between us. There's a look of amusement in his eyes as his gaze locks onto mine, and he deepens the kiss. I feel a shiver run down my spine. His lips feel soft and….I'm kissing a man. I'm actually enjoying it. He feels warm and I open my mouth to welcome him in.His hands cradle my face, his fingers tracing the contours of my cheeks. I melt into his touch, our lips moving in perfect sync.The world around us fades away, leaving only the two of us, lost in this moment. And why do I not want to pull away? I'm fucking enjoying kissing my boss!! As he finally pulls away, his teeth graze my lower lip, leaving a tantalizing sensation.“Tasty.” He hums and my eyes widen in realization of what I've just done. I agreed to kiss him because I was scared of being left alone again.“We should definitely do this again.” He states, standing up on his feet. I think he's leaving but he does not, but rather, comes to the other side of the bed to join me.“You
Nikolai I wake up the next morning to see Adrian sleeping soundly. He finally fell asleep after tossing around the bed repeatedly.So, he was a victim of abuse? Interesting. I was too, From both parents. I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom, taking my phone with me. I send a text to Ilya, to tell him where he'd meet us later in the afternoon. He replies almost immediately.My hand slowly moves to my mouth as my index finger slowly traces my lower lips. I kissed him and fuck, it was addicting. The kiss was short-lived and was fucking not enough. I need more. I need to kiss him again, longer, as I trace my lips down his jaw, to his neck, his chest, and bite his nipple while I stroke his hard dick. Now, my cock is hard.I suck in a deep breath to get myself under control. I kissed him and I'll definitely do much more.I walk out of the bathroom to see Adrian sitting on the bed.“Good morning,” he says in a clipped-off tone. He looks embarrassed about last night, of course.“Good m
Adrian I took the bullet for Nikolai and if I was not so lucky, the bullet would have hit another spot. A more fatal one and I would have died. For who? Nikolai.I hate him and only did that to gain his trust. He has to trust me and think that I can give up my life for him if I'm planning to kill him and his family soon.I won't rest until I get revenge on those who hurt me. Zorya and her family will pay for my mother's death, and my father already paid for hitting me in the past. That man was a monster.I was ten when I was sent to him in America and I finally understood why mom never married him. Every day, he made sure to remind me that I was born out of a mistake. Mom got pregnant by accident and according to him, she was just too stubborn and kept the baby.At 11, he would throw parties and bring people in. They'd smoke, drink, fuck. I started witnessing sex at 11. That was so appalling.And my father? The bastard did nothing. He would starve me and then beat me up. I became a h
Adrian“I'm so sorry, Pavel. Minnie ran into your room and I had to go in to find her.” She stammers in fear as Pavel grips her tight.“I already told you to get your stupid cat off my path. You just won't listen. Maybe you'll listen after I kill it.” He threatens and Irina's face suddenly pales as she shakes her head.“No, no. Not Minnie.” She mutters, shaking her head.“Then keep your stupid pet away.” He hisses in anger and suddenly raises his hand. Wait, is he going to hit her? Like, hit her?“Pavel!” Irina calls as her chest heaves. She's scared and tears have already gathered in her eyes.“You'll listen after I teach you a lesson. Keep your mad self to your room. I don't know why you're not locked up in a psychiatric hospital. That's where your fellow mad patients stay.” He says with venom in his voice and, that's harsh. Why call his sister Mad? He's going to hit her and I can tell it's not the first time, by the way, Irina's response. There's no way I'll watch that, so just wh
Adrian I spend hours with Irina and trust me she's fun to be with. She doesn't act erratic, neither does she yell. We literally became friends in a couple of hours. She shows me all her favorite books and then teaches me how to take care of her cat Minnie.By the time I'm ready to leave her room, it's already evening.“Will you come tomorrow?” She asks as she walks me to her door.“I’ll come whenever I'm free, Irina.” I inform her, ruffling her hair with a smile as she giggles.“We'll go to the garden tomorrow, Ady!” She says gingerly and I smile. We kind of bonded a lot. She calls me Ady. She was so eager to make a friend and I seriously do not mind being her friend. “I thought that was your personal space.” I tease and she laughs.“It's either you come or I'll get very pissed.” “Don't worry I'll come.” I assure and reach out to open the door. We both freeze, the moment I open the door. Standing in front of the door is Olga as she glares at me.“Olga!” Irina calls with a smile on
Nikolai I'm fucking pissed. Not at Adrian but at myself. His words really cut deep and I can't help but feel guilty. I abandoned Irina, though I didn't mean to, but I have no good explanation to give for not talking to her or even calling for six months.Zorya hates Irina and I. She only loves her stupid son Pavel. And right from when we were kids, she made sure to remind us every day that she hated us. I basically became Irina's backbone. We were siblings who loved each other. I still love her and I'd do anything for her. And Pavel? He hits her? He used to do that when we were very much younger, I had no fucking idea that he's still doing that shit. How dare he? And he even calls her mad.Irina is not mad, she's only suffering from PTSD and it's all because of Zorya.She treated her so badly and never gave her that motherly love and attention that became traumatic for Irina as she soon fell into depression. She became quick to anger and withdrew herself from everyone. I was the onl
Adrian One other long week of being at home. At some point, I actually began to feel useless. My shoulder has healed, but Nikolai still insists I stay home. After that day, he did not say anything about being friends with his sister, he only warned me not to cross my limits, or do anything to hurt her. I don't plan on doing any of that.Irina is a nice and innocent girl. She's so happy that she has someone to talk to and is usually the first to knock at my door in the morning. Then I'll follow her to the garden and watch over her cat while she plants. Did I forget to mention that she's so energetic? Oh God! She can literally spend time in that garden the whole day, leaving me worn out at the end of the day. I don't complain though, as long as she's happy.Today, I've decided to confront Nikolai. I'm not a fucking furniture. He fired me to be his sniper, but he's been keeping me at home for two weeks.The moment I hear Kuzma walk into his room, I know they are back. I step out of my r
AdrianA smile forms on Nikolai's lips, I know he's waiting for me to say something and I seriously don't know what to say. I'm confused. I've never liked men, but my sexuality betrays me each time I come near him. I want to confirm something.“Go on with it. So I can get out of here. You won’t succeed, Nikolai.” I grunt and Nikolia only smiles at me. He can try his luck, but I won't fall for any of his stupid tricks. I won't.“We'll see about that.” He utters, his fingertips drawing imaginary lines on my cheeks down to my chin. It leaves this lingering sensation that sends electrifying jolts down my spine. Fuck! I really don't like where this is going.He closes the space between us and the moment his naked hard chest touches me, I stiffen. He's getting to me. He's been doing that for weeks!He leans forward, sniffling my neck. “You smell so fucking good. Has anyone told you that, pretty boy?” he asks curiously, his breath fanning my neck. It feels so hot and good. No, no, I can't fa
Nikolai I sit at the edge of my bed and I keep running my fingertips gently over Adrian’s jawline as I watch him sleep. He fell asleep a while ago after crying his eyes out. Damn! He's such a crybaby. And he looks so cute while he cries and sniffles. I don't blame him, I can't blame him. I believe him. Zorya is capable of doing all that. If she could threaten to kill her daughter, she can definitely murder someone else.Not after hearing everything that he had gone through. Zorya! It's always Zorya. She didn't even stop in ruining mine and Irina’s life. I can't help but wonder what Adrian's mother had with her that made her kill her. That happened like 16 years ago and everything feels so fishy. That single life of hers really ruined a lot of things for him. He was just a little boy whose mother's love was taken away from him. He suffered so much and his father is such an asshole, he deserved to die. I really thought that I was the only one that got such an asshole of a dad. But Ad
Adrian That was one of the darkest moments of my life. Waking up to see an elderly woman beside you sleeping. And when I threatened to report them to the police, my father swore to send me to a mental asylum. He was going to tell them that I lost my mind and said a lot of gibberish things. I was scared and helpless, there was nothing I could do as I just suffered in silence. “It didn't stop there,” I continue as my whole body trembles in fear and the disgust I feel towards myself. This is definitely not a story that I love sharing, but I just need to get everything off my chest. It is up to Nikolai to do whatever he is going to do afterwards. My actions are fully justified. And it hurts knowing that I'm not able to do anything to Zorya, to make her pay for what she did.“Samantha seemed to enjoy shagging a teenager, so she began to pay my father just so she could fuck me. I never got hard on her, there was no way a woman like her would turn me on, so my father would force a pill dow
Nikolai My eyes widen the moment Adrian goes down on his knees. I immediately mask my look of surprise as I replace it with a hard look. It's definitely another game plan of his and I'm not going to fall for it. Not again. And yes, why am I so lenient with him? I'm giving him petty punishments by making him do work like trimming the flowers, cutting his pay and making him stay in the Annex house. If it was another guard who did what he did, I would have killed him without even having a second thought. But it's Adrian. I don't even see myself passing a judgment that all his toes and fingers be cut off. I can't do it, even though I want to do it, I just can't. His last words are still ringing in my head. He wanted to kill me when he just came, but nothing anymore? Who the fuck does he even think he is? Adrian Petrov. Come to think of it, when I ran a background check about his family, I found nothing significant. “I'm sorry.” fucking apologies. I hate hearing it. I hate hearing the
Adrian I will hug Kuzma if I have the chance. I can't believe that he actually agreed to help me. I can't bear it anymore. I need to speak to Nikolai. I need to meet him and explain things to him, even if it has to be by force. Ilya keeps monitoring one and I've been finding it so hard to go into the house to get near him and Irina who would have helped me to sneak inside has not been coming. I get that she got rejected by me and must be going through her healing phase. And it's not as if I had a choice, I already like her brother whom I'm currently dying to meet. “Ilya is out on an errand, so I hope you use your time well and look for a way to convince the boss. I'm sure he’ll forgive you.” Kuzma says as he leads me into the main house. He did not take the front door and used the back door instead. “Is he alone?” “Hmm. He went to his room to rest after we got back. But I know that he's awake. And also, don't let him know that I brought you in here.” “Noted and thank you so much
Nikolai “Did you get the files I asked to bring from Viktor?” I ask Kuzma who nods as he passes the file over to me. “He said you should sign where necessary. Vion will pick it up in the evening.” He informs me and I nod briefly as I begin to look through the files, signing on the necessary places. After I’m done, I pass the files back to him. I’m getting better. I got shot in my left shoulder. So I can still use my right hand to do all the necessary things. My wound is still healing and it no longer hurts as much as before. I’m recovering well. “Anything else?” I ask Kuzma who nods. “The pakhan has sent card invitations for his birthday. It came earlier. It’s in the first drawer.”“I’ll check that later.” Dmitri. Dmitri. I should meet up with him soon. If I’m going to be the next pakhan, I should strengthen my relationship with the previous one and we have not really been doing much bonding. “Anything else?” Kuzma shakes his head and just when I’m about to dismiss him, he says.
Adrian It seemed like Nikolai was hell-bent on avoiding me. No matter how hard I tried, I’ve not been able to go into the main house and I have been staying at the guard's quarters for more than a week now. He should just come out and pass his judgement. I need to know what’s going on in his head. What exactly is he thinking and why is he doing all of this? I had caught a glimpse of him once and he seemed to be doing some. I couldn’t get close to him, and that’s all thanks to Ilya. I seriously don’t know what I have done to that man that makes it seem like he’s after my life. He sees to it that I don’t go Nikolai or into the house and he is so hellbent on making my life miserable. The kind of work he makes me do is completely different and unacceptable. He makes me trim the grasses in the gardens, like I’m some gardener and then he sees to it that I clean all the cars. I’m not a cleaner!!! I’m a sniper who knows how to handle guns well enough. I did not learn how to trim and plant
Adrian I hate this!!! All of this. It’s fucking frustrating. I hate the Annex house, I hate the food, I hate everything about it. Nikolai woke up and as much as I was excited to see him, I was not allowed to. It immediately dawned on me that it was his order. Irina was glad that her brother was awake and even wanted to help me go into his room, but that bastard Ilya seemed to be ready for me. He did not allow her to do so as he stated Nikolai’s strict orders. I was to stay as far away from him. And I’ve also been banned from staying in the main building. Ilya made me move to the Annex house. He’s been overdoing everything and one can easily think that he takes the punishment more seriously than Nikolai himself. I let out a frustrated groan as I stepped out of the bathroom. It’s so uncomfortable to bathe in there. Not only do 10 of the guards bathe at the same time. I hate and despise the way they keep looking at me. For the first day I came, I refrained from bathing the moment I s
Nikolai I groan softly, feeling a sharp pain in my head. My head is banging and it fucking hurts. I try to move my hand, but I can’t as I’m only greeted with intense pain. I’m alive. I actually thought that I was going to die. Did Adrian take me to that place to kill me? And uncle? Uncle Sergei? Everything happened so fucking fast and now, I can’t help but get angry at myself for trusting too blindly. I was too free with him and it would have cost my life. I take in a deep breath and from the smell, I know that I’m in my room. I attempt to stand up, but my shoulder hurts a lot. I got shot there. Damn it! I hate feeling pain. “You’re awake.” I stare at the ceiling as Ilya’s voice rings in my ears. It’s surprising that they ended up finding me. I actually thought that Adrian was going to leave me to die. Did he call then? And is he still alive? I know Ilya would not waste an opportunity to kill him once he found out that Adrian had something to do with me getting shot. “Fuck! Thank
AdrianI'm not surprised to see Zorya and Pavel. After Nikolai's order, they have not been leaving the house and have remained on house arrest. What can I say? Serves them right and they have strangely been so quiet. No matter how thick-skinned Zorya acts, I know she is scared of Nikolai. Pavel included.“What are you doing here?” Irina sniffles, releasing herself from the hug as she wipes off her tears.“What do you think I'm doing here? I'm here to lay my condolences. I'm his mother after all.” She says with a scuff, her voice dripping with sarcasm as I stare at her in disbelief. Condolences? Really?“Nikolai is not dead.” Irina scowls as she makes her way to charge at Zorya, but I quickly hold her back.“Yet!” Pavel chimes in scornfully as he holds his hands around his chest. He looks so fearless now, but once Nikolai comes or shows his presence, he will cower away like a chicken drenched in the rain. What a coward!“Shut up, Pavel! Nothing is going to happen to my brother. So it's
