All Chapters of Don Nikolai: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

After making sure everyone was okay, I heaved out a tired sigh.“ Are you okay?” Corinna asked as she approached my desk.My chair was facing the floor-to-ceiling windows that gave me the perfect view of the city of Sicily. Since it was getting dark, the lights made the city look magical. Without turning to face her, I sighed again.“ How okay can I be after someone assaulted my workers and some customers? “ I asked.Corinna came and stood at my side, watching the city just as I was.“ Are you not going home? “ She asked.“ My husband is not picking up my calls. To be honest, I am afraid of what I will find when I get there. “ I said truthfully.It was the most truth I had told in the past couple of weeks. Being in the mafia had made me a seasoned liar. As much as I hated it, it was true.“ He loves you, doesn’t he? “ She asked.I laughed realizing where she was going with everything.“ I am not saying that I think we are over. I am afraid he found trouble somewhere and I will go home

“ One of you people killed my daughter! “ She yelled, her calm façade faltering.It seemed very weird that she hadn’t thought that Nikolai would take her children. Maybe she had banked on me to convince him not to do that. She thought I was still the same Brianna I was when I left New York.“ Lily killed herself. I was there trying to unlock her door while I called out to her. She didn’t answer me because she was busy giving up on life.I found her in the closet hanging from the ceiling and a stool was toppled over on the floor. We all lost a companion in her. Don’t act like you’re the only one grieving. “ I said with tears gathering in my eyes.Claire scoffed and shook her head, refusing to believe what I was saying.“ Liar! No one was as resilient and hopeful as Lily. You brought her into the mafia so even if she did kill herself, it would be your fault. “ Claire said.“ She fell in love, Claire. She fell in love with a man and refused to go back to Seattle no matter how hard I begg

Viv held my hand as she guided me through the sand.“ I should have worn a more comfortable dress. I am never trusting you again, “ I said.She chuckled and pulled me harder to where she was taking me.“ You will thank me later for this outfit. Now stop complaining and shut up. “ She said making me grumble even harder.We came to a stop and my hand was held by a much bigger one. Goosebumps rose on my skin at the familiar touch I felt. I knew that it was Nikolai before I even saw him. He placed his hands on my waist and turned me so that my back was on his chest.“ Hey, “ he greeted into my ear.Just like that, I started blushing like a complete idiot.“ Hey, “ I greeted back.I felt him take off my blindfold and I squinted my eyes open, trying to adjust to the light. “ What is all this? “ I asked while I looked around. It was everything I had told him I wanted and more.There was a table at the center of the beach that was candle lit. There was a wine bottle on the table and a wine g

I stared at my reflection for the fifth time with a smile on my face. My hair lay on my neck, and it was decorated with white pearls. How the hair stylist ad gotten them there was still a mystery to me.I was wearing a lace white wedding dress that had a column design and a slit that reached all the way to my mid-thigh. I had on silver stilettoes to match my dress. The dress showed off my cleavage and had long sleeves.The dress was backless and it had a ribbon at the waistline. I had fallen in love with it the moment I saw it.The eyeshadow on my eyes was silver and a few crystals had been put on the edge of my eyes. I also had on white eyeliner and nude lipstick. The more I stared at myself the more I was proud of the woman I saw in the mirror.I had a good marriage, better than my mother ever had, and a husband who loved me. This was everything I had dreamed of in my life. I had become stronger and soared through battles together with my man.Most of all, I was happy. My only regre

Barbados was even better than I imagined. It was fun and there were a lot of tourists just like us looking to have a nice time there.“ What are you doing? “ Nikolai asked as he stepped into my line of sight.I reached for the coconut juice he had gone to bring me but he shifted it away from my reach and continued glaring. I fought the urge to laugh at his reaction.“ Can you step aside a little? You are blocking the sun from reaching me. “ I said.He got angry and blocked the sun from reaching my body even more. I lifted my sunglasses and raised an eyebrow at him.“ Answer my question, Brianna. I am not playing games with you. “ He said.“ I do not know what you are talking about, “ I said and relaxed further in the chair.“ You’re topless! How do you not know what I am talking about? “Of course, I knew what he was talking about. I had asked if I could take off my bikini bra and he had said no. I didn’t see the problem since almost everyone on the beach was topless or either fully n
