CHAPTER 18: GET OUT OF MY ROOM!LILY'S POV:I woke up feeling pains on my neck, I coughed sat on the bed, wondering which room was I in. I looked around and I saw a figure sitting on a chair facing the bed.“Holy cow!!”, I yelled and he didn't flinched. The room was dark so I couldn't see his expression.“I- I'm sorry”, I quickly apologized before he could get mad, last night still freaks me out.I noticed I was in his room and on his bed, “Shit!”, I cussed silently before getting off the bed and bowing my head, I apologized again but he still doesn't say anything.“I-I didn't mean to fall a-asleep on your bed, I'm sorry”, I apologized again.The scenes from last night kept replaying in my head, when he rushed to me and grabbed my neck, saying ‘You are dead’ and putting more pressure when he saw me almost dying, there I knew what kind of being he was, the bad kind.I was certain he was an assassin or some drug lord. I wouldn't try anything stupid again.He got up from the sofa and app
CHAPTER 19: THEY DON'T EAT AMERICANS LILY'S POV:After breakfast, I excused myself and left Nikolai and Irina at the table. I'm sure Nikolai didn't notice that I was gone and I didn't care. He was engrossed in whatever Irina was telling him and they were talking in Russia.I took a trip to the big empty building were he had those two monstrous canines.Saturn and Mars still hasn't warm up to me and I was still scared of them but I had work to do... to feed them.When Nikolai is around them, they always wag their tails and bark in excited, but for anyone else, it's a scary growl and threatening stares.“You guys are just like your owner, always grumpy to people”, I said to them as I threw a piece of meat into their cage which was large and tall.‘Well, he doesn't seem grumpy to that girl Irina’, I said in my head and I rolled my eyes.I threw a piece of meat in the air and Mars jumped to catch it.“Good boy!”, I clapped happily. I guess this is the only form of entertainment for me. I
CHAPTER 20: LILY IS MISSING NIKOLAI'S POV:“You heard me Irina, apologize to Lily... right now”, I repeated myself.They all stared at me in surprise.Just because I didn't say anything to Irina doesn't mean I wasn't aware of her hateful side talks on Lily out of what? Jealousy? I scoffed at that. I know Irina has some romantic feeling towards me, she hasn't approached me about it. We have all been friends with Ivan and Lev since our childhood, Irina was the daughter of one of our housemaid back then in Russia, I was 13 years old when I first saw her, her mother brought Irina to our mansion to assist her in the house chores.I first fucked Irina when we were 18 years old and she has been my convenience-sex since. Don't get me wrong, I care about her but that's about it.“Why?!”, Irina asked, bringing me back to reality. I raised a brow and moved closer to her and the usual fond smile I always show her was gone.“Don't let me repeat myself”, I said and she knows when not to test my p
CHAPTER 21: THINGS TO TALK ABOUT LILY'S POV:I've never liked hiking, it's just endless walk for no reason. I remember when Papa would wake me up early for an early morning stroll and I would feign sick, now I wished he would ask me again and I wouldn't even let him finish before agreeing.I was tired and pressed, I tried if I could endure it but it won't be possible. I had no other choice than to whisper to Ivan who I didn't trust completely, but at least he was the one with the kind smile.“I... I r-really have to go”, I said to Ivan, he looked at me in confusion, not sure of where I wanted to go.“Go where?”, He asked.“Uhm... li-like pee”, I said again, in a hush tone so Nikolai wouldn't hear me, not knowing he has sharp ears.“Ohh”, Ivan said.I saw Nikolai stopped in his tracks and turned to us, he looks to me and I held my breathe in fear. Was he going to yell and cuss at me, I didn't know.“Why didn't you do your business back in the mansion. We are only out for 15 minutes an
CHAPTER 22: THE BOA CONSTRICTOR SNAKE LILY'S POV:“Good... because we have things to talk about Lily”, He announced and I swallowed hard, scared of the punishment he would give to me.“Wha-what about?”, I asked like I did not know.“You are in no position to ask me such, don't you think?", he scoffed and said to me. I immediately nodded, I swallowed whatever was in my mouth.He looked at me one more time before leaving, telling me to come to his study room.‘I'm fucked’, I said in my head, scared about what he will do or say to me. I checked the wall clock and it was already 6:32 in the morning. I got out of bed, put on my slippers and went down to Nikolai's study without wasting anymore time not to make him angrier. I knocked twice before going in. Nikolai was sitting on the chair like a king, with his back turned, he had this aura around him that makes people scared of him... and so was I.The room was dark and had dark paintings just like the ones in his room, the smell of tobac
CHAPTER 23: A MAFIA LORDLILY'S POV:“Sto... stop it. N-no, Stop it pl-please”, I whispered in fear, shaking my head as tears came down my eyes. My legs moved backwards as I retreated even though I couldn't leave there.Nikolai grip on Irina's neck tightened and I could see a vein on her forehead, her skin pale and her eyes turning to the back of her head. She struggled from Nikolai's clutches, trying to say something but no word came out. “STOP IT ALREADY!!”, I finally screamed and just like magic, Nikolai immediately let go of Irina and she came crashing to the ground, coughing and hyperventilating, Nikolai's finger prints were on her neck, red and large.Nikolai looked at me and I saw the hunger for murder in his eyes and I flinched. He must have noticed me feeling uncomfortable, he blinked twice and that thing I saw in his eyes vanished.“Lily?", He called out to me and I shook my head moving backwards, looking for an escape. He walked towards me but I wasn't having it.“DON'T! D
CHAPTER 24: I RULE THE FUCKING UNDERWORLD NIKOLAI'S POV:“Come with me, I have something to show you", I said to Lily and left with her walking behind me. We got into the car and I drove in silence.Lily who sat beside me at the passenger side didn't say anything, she looked scared and like she had thousands of questions, I don't blame her since Irina already revealed what I do to her. I overheard them talking.‘You keep stepping on my tail Irina”, I said in my head and my jaws tightened.“Wh-where are we going t-to?”, Lily said. She was barely audible but I heard her, I looked at her and didn't say anything, I continued driving, stepping on the gas a little.I looked again at Lily's trembling hands that were holding each other, as her eyes looked outside the window.‘Is she trying to memorize the paths?’, I couldn't blame her if she was suspicious of me now, I haven't given her any reason to trust me, just extra reasons to distrust me.My grip on the steering tightened as my mind we
CHAPTER 25: HI, I'M GALINALILY'S POV:The car ride back to the mansion was in silence, Nikolai didn't say anything to me and neither did I. The events back at the torture house still scared me.I shivered as I remembered how Nikolai shot that man on the chair, I shook my head and looked out the window.‘What have I gotten myself into?', I said to myself. There was no escape from this psychopath, I had no phone or any other means of communication with the outside world. I thought of just opening the car door and jumping out of here, I might loose my life but it seemed like a practical idea.Nikolai's phone rang and it was connected to hands-free, I peeped at the caller ID and rolled my eyes, it was a girl and her name had a heart emoji.He picked the call and waited for the caller to speak.“Koylaaaa!!”, The girl called out, she sounded really young. “What do you want Galina?”, Nikolai asked, he doesn't seem happy about the lady's call.“Guess where I am?!”, She sounds really excite
CHAPTER 44: THE VLADIMIR'S F★CKING MANSION LILY'S POV:After the incident of Nikolai destroying my Christmas decorations and he belittling me, I locked myself up in my room and refused coming out the next day. A maid came to call me down for breakfast but I said I wasn't hungry.My stomach was rumbling and screaming for food but I was still very angry and hurt by Nikolai's attitude.“It's just a goddamn tree, why be upset about it?!!”, I asked myself. Or was he acting under the influence?I wrapped myself with a blanket and refused going out and I stayed that way.I heard a knock on the door again and I didn't respond, then I heard retreating footsteps.‘Must be Nikolai’, I thought, he came back and I heard jiggling a key into the keyhole and I should have known he would have a spare key.“Sit up. We need to talk”, He instructed and I did, avoiding all eye contact with him. I heard him sigh and offered himself a seat opposite where I sat.“Something came up so we will be going to Rus
CHAPTER 43: FINALLY BACK AT HOME NIKOLAI'S POV:Ivan, Lev and I talked for a while in the study room before they left. I sighed and went back to my room.The thought of me going back to Russia, back to where it all began felt like a nightmare. I knew I couldn't avoid my prodigal brother forever, I needed to see him face to face.I could never forget his face and his usual sneer, his little pranks and arrogant laugh. He was always proud and happy he was the first Vladimir son.Now I just need to tell Lily that we will be moving to Russia by tomorrow.‘It shouldn't be so hard... right?’, I said in my head. As if it wasn't enough what happened yesterday, she hasn't left her room since morning and I'm starting to worry about her. She hasn't eaten or drank anything, the maid I sent to get her came back saying Lily locked herself inside and I just dropped it.She needs to be by herself, I won't disturb her but the least I can do is inform her we will be leaving for Russia tomorrow and not
CHAPTER 42: GOING BACK TO RUSSIA NIKOLAI'S POV:It is that time of the year again where I shot people out, I mean I do that regularly but days like this are worse. I can't help but be reminded of my childhood trauma on this day.I was out drinking with Ivan and it was getting late, Lily might be worried about me but it would be better not to see her in this my present predicament.“What do you want man? More drinks or what... more ladies?”, Ivan asked as he partied even harder than I. We were at Madame Cho's club and in our private booth, getting private dances.Ivan had two girls by his side and he was enjoying himself, I know his heart was in the right place and he was trying to make me feel better, but it wasn't more drink or girls I needed, I just want to be alone.“No Ivan, I better get home now”, I announced and stood up but almost fell. I hardly get this wasted but today I had more than a lot.“Hell fucking nah man! You can't leave now”, He said and pushed the girls off of his
CHAPTER 41: CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT LILY'S POV:‘Did they have a huge fight or are they rivals in business?’, I wanted to know and I don't care if I am being nosy.“I can't say it here, come with me”, She said and started going upstairs, I followed her until she got to her room.This was my first time being in Irina's room. It was so like her, colorful but mature, more of red and navy blue.Makes me wonder if she actually lives here.‘Wasn't she supposed to be only visiting? Then why is her room furnished and decorated just to her taste?’, I got a little jealous.I took a look at the furry blanket, beige color shelves and large dressing mirror. Her room was so many girls dream room, maybe mine too.“Sit”, She said in an authoritative manner but I didn't bother, I sat down and waited for her to speak.She paced back and forth, I know she was contemplating on telling me or not.“Look, I can't tell you what really happened okay?... all I can say is, Roman is Nikolai's older brother. Somethi
CHAPTER 40: VERSACE BAGLILY'S POV:Nikolai left my room and I stood there dumbfounded. I was still in disbelief at what just happened. Nikolai has a way with words, he drove me into a tight spot and had me cornered.I sighed and shook my head, trying to stop thinking about what he said. In a way I did wish I was sucking his cock but I'm not so cheap... right?He must think I'm an easy catch but he is wrong. Just because he thinks he's hot and drop dead gorgeous, he can pull any girl with his smirk?‘Well, he is right’, My inner thoughts said and I sighed in annoyance.How dare him come up to me when he was with Irina last night, he sounded so unbothered and had no shame.I was still roaming around the room, trying not to think about how close Nikolai was to my face and how he spoke so casually about his cock, when a maid knocked on the door and came in pushing a cart of food.“Master Nikolai requested we make you some breakfast”, She said. I smiled at her and nodded.“You can just le
CHAPTER 39: I DON'T HAVE A BIG MOUTH LILY'S POV:I woke up and it was 3:34 in the morning, I yawned and got up to use the toilet. I can't even remember how I got on the bed and I slept off so peacefully.I was done using the toilet and was back on the bed, then I remembered I was with Nikolai before I fell asleep.“Shit...”, I muttered under my breath as I recalled what happened between us, how I sat on his laps and he hugged me till I fell asleep.“Stupid! Stupid!”, I scolded, smacking myself on the forehead. He was so peaceful, watching him lay his head on my chest, listening to my heartbeat. I blushed at my own thoughts.I couldn't go back to sleep again and it was almost 4am, I stood up and quietly left the room, hoping that I might bump into Nikolai, I know he usually isn't asleep by this time, he always drink on smoke.‘He is hurting himself’, I shook my head and walked quietly through the hallway.Nikolai is fun of spacing out and staring into nothing, mostly at night and I wo
CHAPTER 38: “HELLO NIKOLAI...”NIKOLAI'S POV:Seeing the worry on Lily's face made me a little happy that that asshole shot me. I sound insane, I know, but if I had known Lily had this side to her, I would have be glad to come back home with an injury everyday.We got home and Lev was already on standby, he and Lily assisted me to my room and Nate came afterwards. Lily left as Nate helped stitch up my open wounds.“You are so lucky man! Had it been you wasted more time, it would have been fatal”, Nate said to me. I know he can't outrightly scold me, he won't dare, but he's only concerned for me.“Hmm...”, I groaned. Nate stitched up the wound without giving me any anesthesia. I hurts like crazy but I was used to that kind of pain.“There. All done...”, Nate said and stood up, he took off his gloves and went to the first aid box he brought with him.I tried sitting properly and wore the clean clothes Lev got me.“Make sure to change the gauze and clean up the wound. Don't get water on
CHAPTER 37: THERE WAS BLOOD LILY'S POV:18+ ALERT AHEAD!!I spat on his face and his eyes closed in reflex. He paused and brought his hand to his face, he cleaned my saliva from his nose and in between his brows then he looked at me with a mischievous look on his face, I gasped in shock as he put my spit into his mouth, licking his fingers.“Yo-you're a psychopath”, I whispered in realization. Nikolai wasn't human, he was a bloody monster!He laughed freakishly at my expression and his eyes became hollow, before I could think about what just happened, Nikolai shifted from where he was sitting and grabbed my neck, slamming his lips to mine, kissing me like he was trying to punish me for something. I struggled in his grip but he didn't let go, he took off his seatbelt and mine, bringing me closer to him.He bit my lips causing a moan to escape from my stomach. It was as if my moan fueled his desire the more, his hand found its way under my polo shirt and to my left boob, he massage it
CHAPTER 36: FUCK YOU NIKOLAI!LILY'S POV:“Why? Is it because of what Irina and I were doing in my study room?”, Nikolai asked and I gasped looking at him with eyes so wide, he had a satisfied smirk on his face.“You are so brazen”, I muttered under my breath but he heard me, Nikolai chuckled. I looked at him and I felt my heart racing, I can't stop imagining Nikolai doing to me what he did to Irina; hands on my buttocks, lips on my neck, breathing down on them, whispering lustful words to me and making my insides coil.“What are you thinking?”, Nikolai suddenly asked.“Huh?”, I responded absentmindedly. He left where he was and slowly approached me, my breath got caught in my throat, why was he coming to me?!He was finally just in front of me, he sighed and pinched the space between his brows.“Chill Lily, I won't do anything you don't want me to”, He softly said and I nodded.“Good... so I take you read the message attached with flower?”, He asked me, making my mood to take a 360 d
