CHAPTER 31: HER MOANSNIKOLAI'S POV:(🔞 CONTENT AHEAD!!!)“Just leave her be. She needs some time alone”. I said to my sister and I watched as Lily rushed upstairs.Seeing the tears in her eyes steered up something in my chest and I don't like that feeling, it was new.“Did something happen?”, Galina asked me and I shook my head, I went to my study room and Galina followed behind.“What did you do to her Nikolai?!”, Galina asked and I sighed, I didn't have time for her questions and tantrums.“When are you going back to Russia?”, I asked her, she pouted and looked away.“Well if you so badly want me to leave your house, I will be gone by tomorrow morning!”, She stomped her feet and left my study room.Galina was not a child, I won't run after her same with Lily. I will give Lily the space she needs.My mind wandered back to the intense kiss we shared back at the restroom, I touched my bottom lip and smirked.She tasted different, not like what I normally have. It was like trying on a
CHAPTER 32: FAMILY PHOTO LILY'S POV:“JUST GET OUTTT!!!”, I yelled on top of my voice, throwing pillows at Nikolai.My hands were shaking, my heart was racing very fast, I was beyond scared.‘Nikolai tried to rape me!’, I had to say it to myself just to believe it.He staggered up, staring at me in disbelief, shaking him head and muttering something I couldn't hear and I didn't care to know what he was saying, I just need him to be far away from me as possible.He looked at me for the last time then left. I held the blanket close to my chest and cried a whole lot.‘What would have happened if I didn't stop him on time? Would he have taken advantage of me? Would my first time turn to the worse memory of my life?’, I pondered as I cried my heart out.I cried for many minutes before sleep took over me.***I woke up and it was past 10am.“Fuck!”, I held my head in pain, it hurts like I have a hangover.I immediately remembered what transpired last night, Nikolai coming into my room drun
CHAPTER 33: IRINA IS BACK LILY'S POV:I went back to my room and I refused coming outside through out that day.‘What's even his problem?!’, I let out a groan in frustration, I don't know why this even bothers me.The more I think about his reaction about the photo, the more I am certain that he and his brother have estranged relationship.“But what happened?”, I asked aloud.Anyways, I shouldn't be bothered by their family issue. I don't want to be too involved with Nikolai.I knocked at the door to my room.“Lily?”, It was Nikolai, I gasped. What does he want? Why is he here?“Can we talk?”, He said.“Go away”, I responded. There was nothing left for us to talk about, I need to be far away from him because recently, he has been stirring something in my heart.There was silence at the other side of the door, he wasn't gone yet, he was just keeping mute. I tiptoed to the door and placed my ear on the door, I couldn't hear any movement, only his sigh.After a minute or two, I heard hi
CHAPTER 34: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILYNIKOLAI'S POV:My eyes slowly opened and I looked around to see where I was. My head was banging, my throat was dry and my vision blur. I tried to stand up from where I was laying but I felt a stabbing pain on the side of my stomach.“Fuck!”, I cussed and lay back down.I closed my eyes for a few more seconds then opened them again, there was an IV drip connected to my arm, I took the oxygen mask from my face same with the drip. I struggled to stand up and I looked around me, it wasn't a hospital but it has some medical equipments.‘What happened to me?’, I tried processing the previous events that got me to this place, It was then the memories came crashing back.I went to Mexico to settle some business issues with a famous cartel, but we were ambushed, those mother fuckers betrayed us.It amounted to a shootout and fistfights, Lev and I tried what we could. I lost a total of 7 men out of the 20 I took with me, I was shot in the left side of my stomach
CHAPTER 1: ARE YOU CHECKING MY BOYFRIEND OUT?!LILY POV:I don't know why but I felt strange just being at parties like this and to make matters worse, my dad is calling me non-stop, asking me where I am.“Papa, can I call you back. I can't hear you ”, I said to my over protective father.“Princess, why is it too noisy there?!”, My dad asked.“I'm at Stephanie's birthday party, remember?”, I replied.I told him about this party since last week and he agreed for me to come, but he wasn't at home when I left.I tried calling him but he didn't pick up, I guess he was busy with work.My dad is a detective, he has been stuck in one particular case for months now, that's so unlike him.He's one of the top 5 best detective in the country but he keeps a low profile.Unlike other cases he solves in a week or highest 2 weeks, this one case has been on his shoulders for more months he could count. Something about some Russian mafias and human traffickers or something like that, I'm not intereste
CHAPTER 2: A BAD FEELING LILY'S POV:Someone hugged me very tight from behind, I flinched from the sudden hug and the intense smell of alcohol.“GIRLIEEE!”, I relaxed when I heard who it was, the girl of the hour, Stephanie.I turned around and hugged her, patting her back.“Hey! I haven't s...seen you or Ollie a-all night. Don't tell me y-you guys are just ar..riving?”, She was already drunk.“Of course not! I've been here for hours!”, I exaggerate a bit.“Where have you guys been then... and where is Olivia?”, Stephanie asked, looking around.“Oh come on, you know how she is. She's probably somewhere with the guys... partying”, I said, I don't want her to know about the little argument Olivia and I had.“By the way, happy birthday girl!! You look incredibly breathtaking tonight!”, I praised her.She was putting on a baby pink sequins dress that stopped her right below her crotch area,If she was to bend a little, her butt would definitely be on display. God it was too short! But kn
CHAPTER 3: I'M BREAKING UP WITH YOU!LILY'S POV:I gasped and my purse feel to the ground, that was exactly the description of my boyfriend, Troy.“Jesus Christ! You scared me!”, Kimberly yelled.“What is her deal”, Stacy whispered.I blocked out all the whispers that was going on around me and I started feeling dizzy.‘No, it can't be right? They probably saw wrong. It can't be Troy fucking some girl. He can't be cheating on me, right? Right?!!’, I was asking all this jumbled questions in my head. I needed answers but I couldn't ask the questions.I quickly took my purse from the floor and went to Kimberly and Stacy.“Describe the guy you said you saw”, I demanded.“Why do you eve--”, Stacy started and I interrupted her, moving closer to them.“Please! I need to know who you guys saw!”, The tears, the goddamn tears was right there, waiting for me to blink and it would come running out.“Uh- uhm, he was-- well I only saw his back so I couldn't get a clearer look of what his face looks
CHAPTER 4: ALMOST DIED LILY'S POV “I'm breaking up with you... fuck you and Olivia!”, I said before leaving.I couldn't hear anything or anyone, I didn't want to.Stephanie was calling me for behind but no, I didn't want her or anyone else to see my tears. I was strong, so I believed.***I came downstairs and went to the bar.“Two shots of vodka”, I said to the guy at the bar.“Coming right up!”, He replied and went about doing what he's probably good at.I sat down there waiting for my drinks to come, my mind was still at what happened.I couldn't get rid of what I saw even if I tried to. Troy on top of Olivia, my best friend since we were very little! ‘How could she even do this to me?’, I asked myself.I tried to think of what wrong I've done to her, when and how have I ever betrayed her?And to think I caught her staring at Troy and we had an argument about it and she played the victim. Little did I know I was right.‘5 months! 5 fucking months!'.“Here you go miss”, The barte

CHAPTER 30: THE PAST CAME BACK TO HUNT MELILY'S POV:“We are not done yet”, He said to me and I was shocked. Nikolai smirked at my reaction and walked to the door to open it.He opened the door and frowned at the people waiting.“Oh-wait! What are y-you doing in th-the lady's room?!”, The first lady asked Nikolai, she looked at him like he was some kind of pervert. I rushed to the door, I needed to clear up the air.“Oh no, he was--”.“My lady needed help with her zippers, that's why I'm in here”, Nikolai said before I could complete my sentence.The two ladies standing outside looked at Nikolai with shock and then at me, they blushed and I blushed too.‘Oh Lord, they're definitely thinking something’, I said in my head.“Hahahaha”, I started laughing awkwardly and they laughed too.“Let's go babe”, Nikolai suddenly said to me with a endearing look in his eyes and a soft smile.“Huh?”, I uttered in surprise.“What? Do you need me to fix your bra straps too?”, Nikolai asked again and
CHAPTER 29: THE RESTROOM INCIDENT LILY'S POV:The car came to a halt, that was when I noticed my surroundings. I looked at the building we stopped at.‘Oh my goodness!’, I couldn't help but exclaim in my head. We were at the most famous restaurant in the city, where elites dine, a place where you need to book a reservation two months prior.“Wh--what are we doing here?", I whispered to Nikolai when we both got out of the car and headed inside the restaurant.“It's lunch time”, He said plainly, like he was talking about the weather. He didn't seem to be bothered.I looked around, I was finally outside and I could escape but I couldn't, I'm sure Nikolai's men are watching me.“We could have had lunch back at the mansion you know”, I said to him and he just chuckled, he held my hand and took us inside.“Welcome Mr Nikolai, pleasure seeing you here”, A man who seemed like the host, said.“Table for two”, Nikolai said, the host nodded and went in, and we followed behind. He took us upstai
CHAPTER 28: LITTLE DOLL LILY'S POV:He called me that name for the second time and I don't even know what it means.“Nikolai?”, I called.“Hm?”, He responded still playing with my hair.“Wh-what does Kukolka mean?”, I asked and he smiled, he stopped playing with my hair and moved away, with both hands in his pocket.“Get dressed, we have somewhere to go to”, He changed the topic and left my room.I sighed and held my cheeks, trying to stop myself from blushing. This was the second time he called me Kukolka and I don't even know if it was a bad thing or a good thing.***I was dressed in a blue t-shirt, black pants and white sneakers, I had my hair in a high ponytail. I came downstairs and there, I saw Nikolai, sitting on the sofa in all his glory.He was on his laptop, brows were furrowed and I could swear I saw a halo floating above his head.‘Good Lord!’, I couldn't help but gawk at him.They way he sat on the sofa, worked on his laptop, blink, tighten his jaw from time to time, li
CHAPTER 27: IT WON'T BE MY FIRST TIMELILY'S POV:Nikolai snapped at his sister and we both shivered. I looked at Galina and she was pouting. Nikolai sighed, stood up and left the dining room, he barely even ate anything.I watched as he climbed up the stairs, he looked tired. Galina was right, his under eyes were dark.‘But why did he snap at her for pointing out the obvious?’, I wondered. And what was that about him not liking ice? Is it just ice water?“Oh, I fucked up!”, Galina said, dragging me out of my thoughts.“Huh?", I said.“I shouldn't have nagged him like that, he doesn't like it”, She replied.“But y-you did it out of concern, right?”.“Of course I did! But he can get super feisty when someone talks about his insomnia and his nightmares”, Galina said with a worried look on her face.My mind went back to that night I saw him struggling in his sleep, muttering something, ‘Does he frequently have those nightmares?’.“He has insomnia?”, I asked, just to get more information
CHAPTER 26: ROMAN VLADIMIR IS BACK NIKOLAI'S POV:I could clearly see the blush that creeped on Lily's cheeks when Galina suggested we were dating.‘Does she look like the kind of girl I like?’, I wondered. I like them tall, supermodel shaped, fair skinned, siren eyes, straight legs, blonde, red or black hair and sex appealing. But with Lily, she looks soft, she isn't tall, her body is okay but not my cup of tea, She has doe eyes and is very disrespectful.I stopped thinking about it as I saw Lily hurriedly went upstairs just to avoid the topic and I half smiled.“Who is she really?”, Galina's question brought me back from my thoughts.“A friend”, That was all I could say, I couldn't come up with a better excuse.“Friend?... Brother, she doesn't look like the kind of female friends you usually have”, My not-so-little sister said and I was interested in her thoughts.“Really? How do my female friends look like?”, I asked. I walked to my study room and she followed behind me.“Nothing!
