The car entered the estate and I started feeling the heavy weight of the tiredness in my body. I wiggled my toes and made sure not to attract the attention of Nikolai.Not that he even saw me. He was busy typing away on his phone. I couldn't tell why I was angry at that but I was. I clutched his coat harder. He had given it to me when he saw me shivering. The car stopped and he put his phone away. Before I could get out of the car, he grabbed my hand to stop me." You can't walk barefoot. " I rolled my eyes. We were literally at home. A few steps surely wouldn't hurt." You're not carrying me again. " " Roll those eyes at me and I'll bend you over my knee and spank that sweet little ass until you can't sit. " I snapped my mouth shut and I opened the car door. Before he could stop me again, I had already gotten out. I walked with fast steps towards the house but I had short strides.When I looked behind me, I saw Nikolai inching closer towards me. I took off in a sprint but he cau

Within seconds, Nikolai had pulled me from the man's grasp. He pulled me behind his body and punched him in the face. The music stopped and all the attention was on the dancefloor. Nikolai held the man's collar in his hands and glared at him." Who the fuck do you think you are to mishandle my wife like that?! " He shouted.To my surprise, the man was not even drunk. He looked very sober. I hugged my hands to my body and stared at the floor. I felt dirty and disgusting." She was the one dressed like a slut-" The sound of bone breaking reverberated through the air. The man fell on the ground and screamed in pain while his hands were on his left eye.I rushed to Nikolai and put my arm around this." It isn't worth it, " I whispered and he looked at me with his hard glare. It softened a little before hardening again." Damn right it is. Everyone needs to know that my wife is not to be touched by anyone. " He proceeded to pull his hand from my grasp and get on the floor. He punched t

Nikolai was home like had promised. It was late and I was sleepy but I knew he had arrived. All I felt was a pair of hands pulling me to a warm familiar body. I tried to turn and look at him but he stopped me." Shh, baby, go back to sleep, " he said softly.I closed my eyes and basked in his warmth as I drifted into sleep with a smile on my face.When I woke up the next morning, I felt a warm breath fanning my neck and muscular arms against my waist. My ass was against something hard. When I woke up completely, I realized that it was Nikolai's erection. Even in his sleep I still found a way to turn him on. I felt his hands snake up to my breast and fondle it. Before I could turn, the hand that was on my waist went inside my pants.He stroked my clit with his middle finger while I moved my hips to try and make him go faster." Patience, " he whispered into my ear.His seemed to have worn thin because he pulled down my pajama shorts and pushed his cock inside me. I moaned at the sens

I walked out of the room, leaving the ranks shocked. That had been my plan all along; to instill fear. I wanted to eliminate the mentality that they had about finding comfort in crowds. Immediately the doors closed, I started hyperventilating.I had never killed anyone in my entire life. I tried my best to keep my breath steady as I climbed up the stairs to my room. When the door closed behind me, I took off my coat and then unbuttoned my shirt. Suddenly, I felt suffocated.My breaths were heavy, my hands were shaking, and sweat was trickling down my body. The burden of guilt weight heavily against my shoulders. It didn’t matter if Vincenzo was the enemy or the fact that it was either him or me.I had taken a human life and that was that.The sick part of my brain was relieved that he was gone but the better part of me reminded me that they should have been another way. There was no other way and I knew it. Still, I felt like a bad person. The very person my mother never wanted me to

When we arrived at the estate, my nerves were still on edge. For some reason, my heartbeat was still erratic. I still couldn't get over the chills. I was paranoid, looking everywhere and expecting danger. When the car came to a stop, I rushed to the house, almost sprinting, and jumped into Nikolai's arms. He was waiting at the entrance to the house for us.Immediately I was in his arms again, he held onto me tightly. I heard him sniffing my hair before holding me even tighter. It was like he was afraid I would disappear if he let go. I blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall down my face and pulled away from his grasp.The comfort he was giving me was bound to make me cry a river and I hated to do that in front of the guards. He nodded to Viv to acknowledge her and then snaked his hand around my waist, guiding me into the house." Are you okay? " He asked. I shook my head in answer afraid that if I spoke, I would cry. There were cuts on some parts of my face and arms
