Nikolai POV. People who work for me are my family, this is a family business, that’s what the old man used to say, the guy I called pop, that’s my grandpa, I’m his only boy grandson, his only grandson really, and so I took over the work, I became the boss after him. But unlike the old man, I do count everyone as my family, every single one of them, I’m not picky about the blood, what I’m picky about is their loyalties, some like Angelo they are in because they are my family and they had to be in, but others, they are hand picked by me, I have their loyalties, I know they would give their lives for me. But I also would kick their asses when they mess up, when they need it, and believe when I say sometimes they do need it.

Paul and the guy went to have a private talk, probably talking if they need to kick me out or help me, I was hoping for help. There were other people in the house, the smell of food was filling the place, some were joking others were laughing, but everyone did a double take at me, making me blush, I never loved being the center of attention, only Devil’s attention, not everyone. It’s why I always preferred books over human interaction, that and coffee, coffee is always number one. After too long of me standing there like a human plant, Paul and the guy came back, the other guy had a smile on his face, but Paul didn’t look as happy, he looked worried. I looked at Paul what do we do now?“Why don’t we sit down and have dinner first, Paul, invite our

Elle POV.The tour started in his office, he told me I should always remember my way over here, it’s where he is most of the time, next we moved toward the rest of the house, rooms, gym, cinema, entertainment room, it’s a big house, filled with people. He said I have full access through the house, I could go anywhere I want around the house, not that I’m really interested in all of that. Finally, it was the room we’ll now share, isn’t he worried about sleeping in the same room as me, what if I tried to kill him, I could do it, he doesn’t know or trust me that much to believe I won’t do it. We walked into what I assume is his room, the room was giant, a bed taking the middle of the room, the covers were all dark royal blue, there was a giant bookshelf in the room most of it filled with books. There was a walk in closet, and finally a bathroom, I stood next to the door not knowing what to do anymore, do I walk in? Do I try to kill him? Not that I know how to kill a person or even clos

Elle POV. I waited for Nikolai to get up first, he moved toward the bathroom, I could hear the shower turning on, I sat in bed quietly, I didn’t know what to do, I was scared, and quiet waiting for him to get done with his shower. He came out, after few minutes, hair dropping with water, he had a towel wrapped around his waist and nothing else, I blushed and tried to look away but in reality I didn’t want to look away, I wanted to look at his muscles. He brushed his hair letting water drop over his shoulders and back, he then moved to get his clothes of the day ready, a suit, I never saw anyone make getting ready so interesting, when his towel dropped, I closed my eyes, well I half-closed them, half opened them, still looking, don’t blame me, my only encounter with male human body is unwanted one, on tv, or stories I’ve written. “Enjoying the show?” he asks making my face turn red, I don’t answer him, I don’t feel like answering, not such a question. “Hmm, shy I see, it’s your tur

Nikolai POV.I shouldn’t have taken my anger off on Elle, I should’ve stayed in control, but I did, I couldn’t hold back, seeing her with my cousin, with Angelo, that put me in a bad mood. The same said cousin who just left my office after making his anger known about us saving Devil, he didn’t even know whom we saved, he just knew I’ve attacked the Irish. “First you send a spy to them, next you attack! You’re going to start a war!” Angelo yells. “And is a war with the Irish that bad of an idea cousin?” I answer him, I didn’t have any plans on getting in a war with the Irish not as long as I got some kind of pure bloods coming after me, maybe afterward. “You’re doing a big mistake” Angelo says between gritted teeth, things went down from there, we had a small fight in Italian, him calling me an idiot, and me reminding him that I’m the boss here, and not someone who he can mess with. I did have to quick him out of my office, the fight ended there or it supposed to be done by then,
