Adrian I've been avoiding Nikolai and I’ve been doing a great job at it. I hover around Kuzma all the time. There's no way he'll start saying lewd words to me when Kuzma is around me, so my plan works.I and Kuzma stand by the SUV waiting for him and Ilya to come out. Minutes have passed and I can only guess that Olga succeeded in making him stay for breakfast.We wait for another ten minutes as Kuzma fills me in on a few things. He actually tends to talk a lot and definitely has a lot to say. I do well to reply to him whether it's needed, to not make him feel bad.Soon after, we see Nikolai approaching without Ilya. He's now wearing a coat. I thought he was immune to the cold after living in Russia for 30 years. I'm wearing one, I can't afford to get sick.As he approaches, I can easily tell that he's not in the mood. His face is contorted in rage and the look on his face screams back off. I've never seen him look this angry, I mean he's always trying to be an annoying ass. “The bo
Nikolai Mikhail can be an ass and when he's up to one of his mischievous tactics. No one can stop him. I already knew before that he'll raise his fist at Adrian just like he promised and I seriously expected Adrian to block the attack.I feel so angry after the banter with Zorya. That woman riles me up. She makes me feel so fucking angry. I hate her so much. There was a time when I always looked up to Zorya.When I was younger, I loved my mama and I wanted her to shower me with love like other mothers did to their children. She never did! Throughout the years before Pavel was born, she never failed to remind me how much of a failure I was and how she regretted birthing me. I'd go days, weeks, and months without seeing my mother and I'd cry, like the broken little kid that I was. When Pavel was born everything became worse.Do you know how it feels to watch the mother who you've always looked up to for affection love your little brother like she could die for him? It was at that momen
Adrian It fucking hurts, the same spot where Mikhail punched me. Kuzma even confirmed that I had a back eye. Damn it! I'm sure I look terrible now.They step out soon and he smirks at me saying I look good with a black eye.I would have lost control and killed him, but Alexei dragged him away. Vladimir leaves and Nikolai comes out of the office moments after. He stares at me briefly before walking away. We go to the SUV and Kuzma drives home.The moment we step into the house, the first person I see is Irina. She gingerly runs to meet me. It seems she's been expecting me.“Ady, thank God you're back!” She exclaims, then turns to wave at her brother and then Kuzma.“Hi, Koyla, Kuzma.”“Koyla allowed me to go shopping today and I got a lot of amazing things. For myself and Minnie,” She suddenly stops babbling and her eyes widen in surprise. “What happened to you?” “Your eye,” she mumbles and I inwardly bite my lips hard. Damn you to hell, Mikhail. Damn you.“What happened?” “He got i
Adrian I fucking kissed him..I did. Not because he forced me to or that he talked me into it, it's because I wanted to. My body wanted it.I move my lips and he parts his, welcoming me in. While I place my hand on the side of his face, he wraps his hands around my neck as we kiss.The kiss is slow and sensual and our lips move in the same sync.As our lips move in perfect harmony, the world around us melts away. The gentle pressure of his lips sends shivers down my spine. I feel his warm breath dancing across my skin, and my heart beats in sync with his. Fuck! I feel so hot and my dick is fucking hard.His tongue grazes mine, and I'm enveloped in a wave of desire. The kiss deepens, our mouths exploring each other's. Every nerve in my body comes alive, responding to his touch.I slowly wrap my arms around him, pulling him closer. His hands cradle my face, thumbs tracing the contours of my cheeks. Time stands still as we savor the moment. The kiss is a slow-burning fire, igniting pass
Nikolai You can say that I was in a very terrible mood throughout the whole day. Zorya ruined everything, but after spending time with Adrian, Fuck everything feels so ecstatic. Like damn it! Fuck! He kissed me willingly and didn't mind us stroking each other to get ourselves off. You can say I had the best time of my life.Adrian just left about thirty minutes ago after cleaning himself up. And I feel the need to go to his room, drag him back to mine and fuck him. Or better still, I'll fuck him in his room. Just that his room is not soundproof, if I fuck him there, everyone will definitely hear him moaning out because I'm not going to hold back while I fuck his tight ass.I inhale sharply, reaching out for my cigarette, which I push into my mouth as I light it up. Just after I drag out a smoke, my phone rings. My brows furrow as I take a look at the caller. Nikol? I haven't heard from her for like forever.You know that scenario where you live with an abusive father who thinks he ca
Adrian “You need to see the amazing things I got from the mall.” Irina grins as I walk her out of the garden. In my hand, is her cat. Not only have I become friends with Irina, but her cat Minnie seems to like me a lot.“That's nice. I'm glad you got to go shopping.” I say with a genuine smile on my face.“Me too and I'm so happy I had the chance to get you something, Adrian. I've really wanted to get you a gift again. It's with me, guess what I got you.” She grins happily and my brows furrow. She's holding a bag and I have no idea what is in it. She's been giving gifts, and they're usually from the things she has here at home.“I'm very bad at guessing, Irina.” I point out with a chuckle. She shrugs her shoulders and then passes the gift bag to me as she collects Minnie from me.With narrowed brows, I bring out the gift box. As I open the gift box, my eyes widen at the sight of a necklace.“A necklace?” I mutter in confusion and she bobs her head gingerly.“Yes, Ady. I got a matchin
Adrian I walk behind Irina as she goes to her brother and Nikol.“Hi, Irina.” Nikol waves the moment Irina stops in front of her. Irina does not acknowledge her greeting at all. She ignores her and then turns to face her brother.“What's she doing here, Koyla?” She demands and Nikolai whose hands are leisurely shoved into his pocket replies.“She'll be staying here for a few days.” He replies. What? He brought a woman? And what will be going on during those few days? He'll be fucking her. Like what the hell?“Why? She has a house?” Irina spits, her eyes glaring daggers at Irina.“Irina dear, I don't know why you're-” “Shut up! I wasn't talking to you!” Irina interrupts in a sharp tone. I'm angry just as she is or rather I'm involuntarily angry. I don't want to care, but I can't help it.My eyes fall on her hand that's wrapped around Nikolai's arms. He's not holding her, she's the one that's clinging to him. I tell myself mentally to stop making an issue out of it, or better still,
Nikolai Irina does not like Nikol one bit. They never got along and I don't blame my little sister, Nikol can be a little annoying and overbearing.And Adrian! He looked kind of annoyed when we were outside and while Irina and Nikol kept bantering, my eyes were fixed on him.He looked fucking pretty as always and I kept thinking of ways to eat him up. I couldn't take my eyes off him, not until the cold wind came rushing in and I had to take my sister inside.I have long tucked Irina in bed after it started raining.. After dinner, I took her to her room before coming to my study because I had some work to do. About 30 minutes after I get to my study, I get a call from Mikhail. I know why he's calling. I noticed some kind of errors while checking the file Alexei forwarded to me just a few minutes ago.“I guess you've seen it.” He says the moment I pick up the call.“Yeah.” I draw out slowly, my eyes still fixed on my laptop.“Several packages are missing.” I mutter under my breath, my
Nikolai The moment I finish with all the work I have in my office. I go straight to my room. Ilya will get me the details soon and I have the pakhan’s party to go to and an aim to achieve, but right now, there's someone my attention is focused on. Adrian. The moment I open the door to my room, I see him standing by the bed and it looks like he's about to leave. “Where are you going to?” I ask with a slight frown on my face, shutting the door behind me, as I slowly approach the bed. “I’m heading back. I'm sorry I fell asleep on your bed, I was feeling disoriented and-” “You sleep on my bed all the time.” I draw out, casting a meaningful look at him as I stand in front of him. “So stop acting like a stranger, like it's your first time. We fuck here all the time.” The last words just rolled out of my tongue, though I didn't really mean to say it, but I'm glad I did. He should stop acting like a Goddam stranger. I notice the way Adrian’s cheeks flush as he looks away from me, nervou
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
