All Chapters of Don Nikolai: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

When I woke up the next morning, the spot next to me on the bed was empty. Nikolai had worked the whole night.Did he ever rest? He reminded me of my father. My mother would always complain that my father was never home. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to have the same fate as her.I shouldn't have cared anyway because it was a fake marriage. I got out of bed, showered, and wore a blue long-sleeved sundress with white flowers on it. I also wore white sandals to go with it. I headed downstairs and found Lily in the kitchen munching on Patrizia's infamous cake. She jumped when she saw me and her eyes gleamed with mischief and curiosity.She pulled me to the chajr next to hers and sat me down." So, is he a beast in bed? " She asked and I choked on the cake I had bitten from her plate.She rubbed my back and I blushed profusely when I recalled the moans of pleasure I heard from the girl he was having sex with a few days before.He must have been a beast in bed. I would never f

The issue of Lily and Lorenzo was still on my mind. Lily was mad at me for sure. She hadn’t spoken to me during dinner and she ignored me when I tried to talk to her. I had taken that opportunity to glare at Lorenzo as hard as I could. “ You’re thinking about something, “ Nikolai said from the door and my head whipped in his direction. I hadn’t even heard him come into our room. I put my lotion down as I had been applying it on my legs for too long. “ You’re here, “ I stated, surprised. He hardly ever came to our room at night. At first, I thought it was because he was working but I figured that he was giving me the space I needed. Looking at him, I realized that he looked very tired. His shirt was almost completely undone, giving me a peak at his tattoos and his hair had been ruffled. It was like someone had run their hands through it repeatedly. I hated the feeling that settled in my chest at the thought. I couldn’t afford to be jealous. I needed out of that marriage, not to fi

I had been actively avoiding Nikolai ever since I had my little run in with his mistress. Whenever he called for me, I busied myself with something. Whenever I heard him coming I hid.Whenever he came to bed I always pretended to be asleep. I sucked at confronting my problems. In fact, I was a runner when it came to altercations.That and the fact that I didn't want to hear lies coming from his mouth. His mistress residing in the estate in itself was a huge insult to me. She shouldn't have been within ten feet of us.Since I didn't call the shots, my opinion was irrelevant. I pulled myself out of my thoughts and went to the kitchen.I found Viv laughing with Nikolai's mistress. They paused when they saw me. She turned away and started busying herself when I sat down." Don't let me stop you, " I said with a smile on my face.If there was anything I was good at, it was pretending." We were done, " Viv said and turned her attention back to her computer. I nodded my head and poured mys

I pushed him away as hard as I could and raised my hand to slap him again. He caught it mid air and used it to turn me so that my back was to him. He pulled me closer so that his chest was right against my back. He leaned in and placed his mouth above my ear. " You think I'm not enough for you? " He asked. " You think I'm not enough? " I retorted and pulled away from him.I stayed further away from him so he wouldn't pull me into his arms. I hated the comfort they came with. " I don't think that, " he stated. " You cheated on me with that girl. You didn't even reapect our marriage enough to stay faithful so why should I? " He stared at me and chuckled like something was funny. I huffed in anger at his reaction. " Is that what you think? " He asked." It's not what I think. It's what I see with my own two eyes. " I replied. " Is that why you went on a tinder date? Because you thought I was being unfaithful? " I refused to answer his question because he wouldn't understand. My r

" I didn't know you like to be choked, " Lily said when I entered her room. " What? " I touched my neck and then that was when I realized that Nikolai choking me must have left a mark. I blushed like a tomato but I quickly pushed the thoughts down. We had more important matters at hand." We need to talk. " After I told Lily what had taken place, she was scared. She asked me to book her a flight back to New York immediately. I would miss her but I wanted her to be safe. I left her in her bedroom and went to the bedroom and cleaned my wounds. After I was done, I headed outside to look for Nikolai.I went to his office thinking that was where he was. When I got there however, it was empty. I started looking for him inside the mansion. A mafia member passed by me and I stopped him." Greetings, have you seen my husband? " I asked. He smiled at me and greeted me back. I could see that he held a lot of respect for me. I wondered what Nikolai had told him to get him that way. " Look
