Stay with himThe gunshot sounded again, but this time it was aimed at Fernando. He just smiled cynically and moved aside, leaving me in front of the bullet. Fortunately, I was wearing the bulletproof vest Nikolay had given me, so I didn't flinch.However, I heard another shot that hit Fernando and someone who stood in the path between the bullet and me. I was horrified to see Jonathan falling in front of me with a bleeding torso. Fernando was also lying on the ground a few steps away.I stood there paralyzed, not knowing what to do, until I heard the sound of an approaching ambulance. I knelt beside Jonathan, unable to move from my spot, with tears in my eyes. When the ambulance arrived, it took both of them, and I followed them afterward.I couldn't go in the wedding dress, and besides, the guests were leaving, and I had to make sure of that. I put on tight jeans, a red V-neck t-shirt, and heels in the same color as the shirt. Just as I was about to leave, I ran into Nikolay.I cou

The truth? I began to ride him gently, gradually increasing the pace as the desire between us grew.In the water, the pleasure was even more intense, and it excited me in a way that I could hardly describe. But he must have felt the same because he lifted me in his arms and took me out of the tub to carry me to bed and make love to me with wildness, just as I remembered with him.I let myself go, as after this, I didn't want to let more time pass and hide the truth from him. So, I enjoyed the sex he gave me as if it were the last time he would take me like this.When I opened my eyes, I was embraced by Nikolay's naked body, and he looked at me as if it were the first time, making me shiver again.“Margaret…” he whispered close to my face, making me shudder.“Nikolay... we need to talk” I felt a lump in my throat the size of a potato.“Yes, of course... What's wrong?” he looked at me with concern.“Being with you is like living in heaven…”“That's because of the masterful way I make l

Pregnant MargaretIt had been a long journey, but I was finally home. I had returned to New York, and not in the way I would have wanted.Fortunately, when I turned on the lights, it seemed like no one was home. Mike was probably out or on his way to Russia. Nothing mattered to me anymore because I knew I had messed up everything, and maybe leaving Russia was a cowardly move, but it seemed like the best plan.Nausea overcame me, something that had been happening for about a month, and this time, I assumed it was due to the journey.I went to the bathroom to clean my system, and I heard a door open. Mike had returned, so I quickly left the bathroom."Margot?""Hello, Mike.""You're back!" He was excited to see me."I was taken back to Russia against my will... Bryan was killed," I informed him."Oh... I'm sorry."I couldn't fool Mike, so I told him everything that had happened. He was happy to hear about Fernando's situation and was also glad to have me back home. According to him, he

Back to Russia"Pack only the essentials; I'll get new things for you. Forget about this life and your things here; I'll even get you a more decent car.""My car is perfectly fine," I glared at him.His eyes met mine, and there was only one expression in his: "Don't mess with me.""Pack now and make sure not to vomit in my truck, do that, and we'll be fine for now.""For now?""We still have to talk about us, I know it, and you know it. Besides, I'd like an explanation of why you left so suddenly and, also, how you could get pregnant when every time we were together, we used protection."Did he not know that there was a very small percentage where contraceptives could fail? And I hadn't even told him that the doctor assured me I couldn't have children of my own."Do you doubt your paternity?""Do I not have the right to doubt?"I raised my eyebrows with wounded pride.Clearly, he thought my life plan included him and a baby. Yes, just what a girl like me needed: a baby and a future wi

An important meetingNikolayI slumped into the office chair and adjusted my tie.Damn stupid Fernando García, the son of a bitch messed things up big time.If only Margaret wasn't pregnant, things would be so different. I probably would have just let the Germans do whatever the hell they pleased with him.That bastard had to do business with them; it could have been another mafia, but no. It had to be those damn Germans."Sir?" I raised my gaze to meet Matt's, one of my men."The brother is in the basement; we thought you'd want to handle the interrogation."I nodded before standing up and leaving my tie on the desk. They always ended up stained with blood every time I had to take care of these things.I descended the stairs to the basement; there were several rooms, all soundproof, although it's not like anyone could hear. No one would say anything or call the police.They never did.***"Bring everyone to the meeting room; I have something to say."Will, my right-hand man, grimaced
