Nikolai Twin

Selena’s POV

My eyes widen in shock and the gruesome murder of father and mother flashes through my brain again.

“You never mentioned anything about this while we were dating. You never stated anything of the sort in the contract.” My voice becomes louder slightly and I do not try to hold back.

“Watch your tongue Sel. This is definitely not the place.” His jaw hardens and I can tell he’s annoyed. He's looking around too, through his masquerade mask— watching if someone heard me.

But I don't care.

“Why should I give a fuck about where we are when you lied to me about something so important!” I clench my fists in annoyance.

“You came to me for help and I gave it to you in demand for payment. You agreed, you signed the signature yourself. I didn’t hold a trigger to your head when you signed it, did I?” He scans the environment with his eyes and I notice the subtle changes in him.

“I signed those documents without a second thought because I knew you or so I thought.”

“The deed has already been done. There’s no use making a fuss about it. You will soon be called up to the red carpet. Do not give off any information that will threaten his life.” I freeze when he brings this up again.

“Everybody here belongs to one mafia organization or the other. They are extremely sensitive and they notice every single detail. You cannot afford to ruin even a tiny slice of this event today. Am I clear?” I blink my eye furiously trying extremely hard not to shed tears.

“I understand.”

“Good.” He tucks one of his hands on his pockets and wraps the other around my waist.

“Young Master Nikolai.” Cheers and applause fill the hall but we all know they are not at all genuine.

They will be only a few handful that are truly grateful for his success and his family members may not be part of them.

Slowly, we walk to the ball and I try my best to make sure our footsteps are in sync. I can feel their burning gaze on my skin. Like they have finally found the weakness of a strong predator.

“Nilai.” A woman that has the exact nose and a perfect physique walks up to us. Her smile is only slight and does not reach her eyes. I force a smile on my face when she stares at me. Her mask is the shade of blood.

“Nikolai. My name is Nikolai.” The air around them feels tight and I struggle to breathe.

“Mother invited me over to accompany you down the red carpet.” She sneers at me and I quickly stare at the ground.

“Raise your head up. Now.” I swallow and I follow his instructions.

“I can see you have a guest.” She tucks her hair behind her ears and I guess that’s my cue to leave. I lift my foot to move and Nikolai pinches me hard on my waist.

“My queen does not make way for those I do not approve of.” I sense displeasure in his voice.

“You should leave. I have a wife I’d like to introduce to the family.” The whole hall goes silent, so silent even the deaf would hear a pin drop.

He gives me a slight push and we walk till we get to a table.

“Mother. Father.” He nods slightly and pulls open the chair for me to sit.

“I see you have a guest.” His father graciously slices his steak in a way I know fully well I cannot pull off.

“A rather uninvited one if I must say.” His mother chirps in as well. It doesnt take me anything to realize they obviously prefer the other girl to me.

“We invited Priscilla.”

“She’s not the only daughter of a mafia boss I’ve slept with.” He says.

I swallow hard and my shoulder tenses at the mention of the word mafia.

“Priscilla knows you and your dealings better. Your wife to be does not particularly seem fond of our daily routine. Is she aware?” His light has a slight evil smile on her face.

“That is why I brought her here. She will be informed of all of the activities. She knows me.” He places a slice of steak on my plate and I smile at him because I am genuinely grateful.

“She knows you better than Priscilla? Then I am assuming she knows your hobbies. Pulling triggers and torturing people as well as competing with your brother over every damn thing?” She chuckles slightly. I struggle not to take a peek at him because I know they are watching.

“You both know me too well to expect me to repeat a simple sentence.” He rubs his legs with mine and I quickly pull away.

“Not to be too hard on your wife? But how many people exactly has Priscilla killed…just for you? Priscilla might just be ahead of her.”

I swallow my spit nervously and finally decide to leave.

“Sorry, I would like some air.” I push my chair back, it makes a loud screeching noise.

“Sit.” Nikolai grabs my arm but I pull it away.

I grab the layers of my gown and I walk outside as fast as I can. I open my mouth and try to take in as much air as I can.

I rub my chest; let out a deep breath. My heart is still pacing. I need to be at peace before I go back to that table. Father’s murder scene flashes through my eyes again. I force myself to not throw up.

When I finally decide to go back; Nikolai is the only one seated at the table. It’s not in his personality to just sit there calmly and wait for me.

He would have been reminding me of my punishments or shooting daggers at me with his eyes.

I square my shoulders and I go back into the hall, this time around, I stare straight into the eyes of the onlookers till I get to my seat.

There's a sick feeling in my heart as I settle down.

Something tells me Nikolai was going to punish me heavily tonight.

He dictates things to go his way or no other.Silence looms over us and I decide to drown myself in alcohol and have a temporary escape from this hellish side of the world.I grab the cup on the table careful not to spill it over and still conscious of the looming eyes fixed to my body.“I do not intend to drag a drunk woman up tonight.” He removes my fingers from the cup slightly and downs it in one go.“If you can do that, I can as well.” I take the drink between sips, the contract rules and regulations fresh in my head.“Your parents do not seem to have a very bright impression of me. They prefer Priscilla. Why?” I swallow another sip of the drink ignoring how light headed I am starting to feel.“Don Carlo, Priscilla's father, is strengthening his base.

I know for a certainty this is not home and I’m not at Nikolai’s place as his room is decorated in minimal colors.“Nikolai!” The rest of the memories I have been trying to gather floods my brain.

That is the only similarity I share with my twin brother, Nikolai.And yet, I want to wake up to her scent every day.I almost tried to sneak away some of her properties but that could pass a wrong message.Plus Nikolai has already introduced her to father and mother. I shake my head and I leave the room. I walk straight to the garden at the back of the house and as expected, they are all there.“Kieran,your mother was already assuming you would not be here given your brother’s abrupt behavior last night.” Father lifts his teacup carefully.“That was a dining celebration and it was basically for familiarization. This is the real deal.

Just seeing Kieran sitting comfortably brings back a lot of the memories from yesterday’s night. I struggle to accept myself around Nikolai.“How did he get to find out all of those things Selena?” He gazes leisurely at his family. I straighten my spine and I refuse to take any pose that will give away extra information.“How do you expect me to know? I thought you told him all of these things. Is he not your brother?” I retort immediately. I pout forming an angry face like I would if I was originally upset.“We will talk about this later. Let’s focus on the main thing at hand. Father and mother would go ahead to say to a lot of nasty things to you, they are only trying to see just how much you can take. Try your best not to let any of their words get to you.” He takes an inch closer to me.“I think I already made a note to myself about this.” I igno

It is almost impossible to believe that this is the same Priscilla I met yesterday.“Hmm, I don’t punish ladies I’ve not tasted.” He smirks and looks at me. My trembling body does nothing to ease the guilt.“But I do have a way to punish you.” He grabs her by her hair with so much force, my scalp winces in pain for her.“Bang! Bang!” He fires two more shots to Don Carlo, one to his neck and the other to his head.“There. Do you now understand why I’ve played this game undefeated for so long?” He trails the gun up and down her neck.You’re a monster.” Tears are flowing freely from her eyes and despite his tight

Should I proceed to tell him first that I am heavy with child and then let him know I do not know who the father is? I breathe deeply and I decide to see him after work. Usually, I’d walk briskly to my working place as it’s a trekkable distance. But now, I can’t walk so fast anymore. I’m forced to take a cab. I wave down a taxi. “Burgsway.” I hop into the taxi immediately. “What’s going on?” Newscasters are hanging all around my workplace. I pay the driver and I get down. I walk as fast as my legs can carry me and I run up to my office. “What exactly is going on?” I scan the workers trying to gauge the severity of the situation from their facial expression, all I see is sympathy and pity. “Selena.” I jolt when I hear my boss’s voice.

Give me a good and reasonable explanation.” She folds her arms and waits for me to say something. “Let me explain.” I should suck up and apologize but that is not a word in my dictionary. “I’m waiting to hear you explain Nikolai.” Her gaze softens “I, I haven’t been feeling very well of recent. She, I, we were in a call and she, she just came over to check up on me, these are from other ladies, we actually haven’t done anything. I wouldn’t do such a thing. Especially not to you.” I sound like an idiot, but this is not the first dumb lie I’ve told and she believed. “You must really deem me to be stupid to say such meaningless word

I relax on the chair not even surprised. Mother and father must have made sure to delete every trace of their evidence. It was stupid enough of me to think I would find something beneficial to me here. On the open website. If I should find something, it would not be worth it in the open sense.

Right now, I am at my limit and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to take another one of their issues right now. "I left to come find you Young Master.

Why didn’t she expose the trick to Selena if she truly loved her as she claimed?“Don’t bother.

It's no good. She's not a good fit for the mafia world but she's going to be able to tell my apology is faked. Or should I just give it a thought? And now she is in coma.
