Don Nikolai Are you jealous?
I started going over what could have happened to him. I couldn’t find the words to ask what had happened. I was frozen on the spot and I could feel the weight of Florian’s gaze on me. I imagined the look of pity that he probably had on his face.“ W-What a-about him? “ I finally stuttered out the question.Anabelle stayed silent before I started walking towards her. She must have thought I was about to hurt her or something because she stepped back. It might have been something to do with the hard look I had on.“ Go to the house and see, “ she said just as I neared here.“ Why don’t you tell me? “ I asked, the frustration dripping from my voice. The last thing I needed was to play games.“ Just go, “ she coaxed.I didn’t wait to be told twice. I ran to the house expecting to see a corpse or his ashes or a person to tell me bad news. It was easier to think the worst instead of having hope and watching it get crushed.When I got there, however, I saw a lot of cars outside. I rushed int
Don Nikolai Show me affection
His hand trailed down and he cupped my mound over my dress. I closed my eyes and leaned into him. He chuckled at how well my body responded to his touch but I couldn’t find my dignity. It flew out the window the minute he whispered in my ear.My nipples poked through the dress as I moved my hips so that he would move his hand. He wanted to make me frustrated instead of getting me off. He held my hips in place and continued cupping my mound without moving his hand.His mouth went to my neck and he sucked and gently bit, making me moan. Spasms of pleasure ran through my body as liquid heat pooled in my center.“ What do you want, Brianna? “ He asked.It was one of the few times he said my name instead of using terms of endearment. It sounded so dirty and erotic coming from his lips. I never thought my name was sexy until then.“ I…”I started but I trailed away not really knowing what to say. Or maybe the words he wanted me to say were so dirty and I couldn’t bring myself to say them.“
Don Nikolai To New York
“ We need to discuss the next course of action. The Russians are getting too hard to deal with. They have twice our troops; if we go to war, we will lose. “ Nikolai stated.We were in Ana’s living room holding a meeting. In as much as we were glad that Nikolai had come back to us, we couldn’t let ourselves forget that we had a problem on our hands. We might have been alive but our lives were in danger.Staying in France forever was not an option. At one point, we needed to go back to Italy. Despite the argument I had with Nikolai, he was still hell-bent on going back to Italy later in the day.I had only spent one night and morning with him and that wasn’t enough. He had told me that his men needed him. Quite frankly, he was more of a man than my father would ever be. My father always hid while his men did the dirty work for him.I admired Nikolai’s service to the very people who would put their lives on the line for him. That said a lot about him. I could imagine him as a father. He
Don Nikolai The proposal
The coffee was placed on top of the table in front of us but one of us made a move to take our own. We had a staring contest. I was trying to figure out what the old man was thinking and he was trying to figure out if I knew what he was planning.He chuckled to ease the tension that had settled in the air and took his coffee from the table.“ How is married life? “ He asked, making me scoff.“ You don’t care about that. I think that you secretly want it to fail so that I can come crawling back into your arms, father. “He grimaced at the use of the word father but he didn’t address it. Not like he usually did. He was getting used to my jabs.Or maybe he wanted to ease my mood for the terrible thing he wanted to say.“ Why would I want that, dearest? “ He asked.“ What are you planning? I can see it in your eyes, Jonathan. You’re scheming. “ I told him.“ You always think the worst of me. Do you remember that time I told you you were going to be a better mafia queen than your mother?
Don Nikolai The Plan
I would die before I trusted a word Jonathan was saying. I was seething in anger as I walked out of his house to the car that was waiting for me.“ Brianna! “He called out my name before I entered the car.“ You know the answer, Jonathan. ““ That offer will expire the minute you enter that car and leave. I may be your father but you know how much hate being told no. “ He said, seething in his own anger.“ I’m sorry to break it to you Jonathan but I don’t care. I am not taking your offer so feel free to shove it up your ass. “He laughed sarcastically at my words.“ You will regret making this decision. If I were you, I would think over my actions carefully. Actions have consequences, my dear daughter. ““ Well, I guess it’s a good thing you aren’t me, right?”He came closer and I couldn’t help but think about how pathetic he looked. How was it that I carried the genes of a man like him? He was vile and cold.“ You will eat your words, Brianna. ““ Eat shit, Jonathan, “ I said and got
Don Nikolai Believe me
I paced in my room worried about Nik. I hadn’t heard from him in a week and the Russians were still destroying all Nik had worked for. They had taken over almost everything and I was starting to think there was no redemption for us.Since Nikolai wasn’t around and no one was able to get in touch with him, it was my responsibility to run things back in Italy. Since I didn’t know what to do, I had ordered the men to retreat and leave the Russians to their business.I couldn’t risk any more lives of those men when we all knew they were fighting a losing game. Without Nikolai, everything went haywire.I had never felt that helpless in my entire life.The door opened and Anabelle entered. During my time at her estate, I had come to learn that she didn’t care much for personal space or manners. She would enter the bathroom even when you were showering with no shame.She also asked very personal questions, got very close to one’s body, and entered everyone’s rooms without knocking. If she fo
Don Nikolai On the Run
“ What’s wrong? “ Lily asked and she stared between me and my phone. I reread the text again. ‘ It’s time. ‘ That was what the text read. That meant that Nikolai had Mogilevich’s family. We were in danger and we had to hurry. The text came from an unknown number which mean the had to discard his phone at some point. “ We need to leave, now. “ I said and ran back to the house. I heard Lily following closely behind me. The Russians could have been on their way to the estate for all we knew. When I got to the house, Viv and Lorenzo were sitting on the couch watching television. “ We need to leave, right now! “ I said, hoping they heard the urgency in my voice. They hesitated for a while before realizing that I was serious. Viv tried to go up the stairs to pack but I stopped her. “ The door is that way, Vivienne. What I need you to do is leave. We have no time for anything. Lorenzo, load the guns and all the ammunition we need. We are only taking three cars. We’ll fit into one and t
Don Nikolai The Visit
It had been two weeks since we came into the mansion. To our surprise, it was well stocked with supplies. Even clothes. It was like someone had spent a lot of time getting everything prepared for our arrival. All that was left was the worry. Worry about what was happening out there. Nikolai and I had agreed that I wouldn’t let anyone leave when we went into hiding. We had agreed that he would be the one to come for us. If he didn’t in a month, we would leave knowing something had happened. The fear of that was getting bigger and bigger. We were two weeks away from a month coming to an end. I tried to convince myself that a lot could happen in two weeks. “ I’m bored, “ Viv said. She was sitting on the couch while Lily and I sat on the floor with a chess board on top of the table. Lily was taking too long to make a move because she could see that I was winning. “ Then go swim or something, “ I said without taking my eyes off the board. She groaned making Lily laugh. “ At this poin
