Brielle Clarke~•~“I don’t have any friends.” I thought aloud. I was supposed to be training with Mikhail, but Maixm had gotten rid of all my workout clothes. I could have used a shirt and sweatpants to work out but I felt like being stubborn, so I was merely watching Mikhail work out.“I’m hurt.”“Asides you.” I waved Mikhail off.“Maxim? You guys are quite close.”“All we do is fuck.”Mikhail paused and turned to look at me, thoroughly amused. “What is Maxim turning you into?”“Shut up.” I blushed.“When you came here, you were shy and innocent. A few months with him and you’re this.”I frowned. “What do you mean by this?”“You’ve gotten bolder, more confident. It’s honestly attractive but I think he is ruining you for every other man.”I snorted. “It’s not like he’ll ever let me near any other man.”“Who is he to stop you?”As Mikhail went back to working out, I stopped to think of his words. Who was Maxim to stop me honestly? He kept saying he owned me like owning a person was le

Brielle Clarke~•~“Go change.” Maxim was standing opposite my door as soon as I walked out.“No.” His eyes darkened as he stared at me, his eyes running up and down my body. I was putting on a little black dress that ended mid-thigh, but the slit ended just below my panties. It was full-sleeved and didn’t even show cleavage but my back was exposed.“I need to have a talk with Marina. You never would have bought these provocative clothes by yourself.”Then, I wouldn’t have, but I wouldn’t say the same about now. I would do a lot of things to get under his skin as he was able to rile me up easily.“Do I look good?” I decided to taunt him by doing a little spin. When my gaze met him again, his jaw was clenched. It seemed like he could barely control his anger. This was the reaction I was looking for.“You look like you want his dick inside you.”“What if I do?”“I’ll cut it off.”I drew back at the words. Was I making a bad decision by going out with Caleb? The last man I danced with e

Brielle Clarke~•~It turned out Maxim was not playing around. Debbie was looking smug when she entered the room while my mouth parted in disbelief.They did not use the bed, no. They stood right in front of me as Maxim used his teeth to pull off her thong.“Let me go, Max.”Maxim ignored me. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing tying me up naked? This is harassment.”He did not even act like anyone was speaking. He bent Debbie right there and then, her hand almost touching her toes.Since his dick was wet from the blowjob I gave him, he did not waste any second thrusting into her. Debbie let out an unnecessary loud moan.“Fuck you, Max. Fuck both of you.”With every second that passed, I hated him even more and my heart hardened. I was going to leave this place, even if I died doing itI tried to think of other things, happy thoughts, but I realized I had none. I lived such a sad life. I wanted to start over. I needed to start over. Maxim was a toxic asshole. He grew up living

Brielle Clarke~•~Mikhail left me in my room after wrapping up my knuckles and went back downstairs. When he came back up, he was fuming, taking away my attention from my problems. “What is it?” It was the first time I was seeing Mikhail like that. He was not very involved in the mafia, but at that moment, it felt like he could kill a person for no reason. He was pacing around my room as if trying to dissolve his anger. “Mikhail, you’re making me worried. What happened?”He sighed, dragging a hand down his face. “Nothing. Just Maxim being his usual asshole self.”“Oh.” Maxim. I did not like thinking of him. I did not want to hear his name and I definitely did not want to talk about him. Only the thought of him hurt. I could feel my ache whenever his name was brought up. “Did you guys fight?”“We are not on good terms right now.”“Because of me?” I felt tears fill my eyes at that moment. Mikhail and Maxim were very close. It did not feel right to come in between them like that.Mikh

Brielle Maxim~•~While Maxim had been trying to get my attention, it completely ceased after the day he almost exchanged blows with Mikhail.Mikhail admitted that he riled up Maxim on purpose but that did not change the fact that he was about to hit his best friend. I knew his morals were different from mine but I didn’t know if I would’ve been able to handle it if they had injured one another.I was flattered that Debbie was chased away, but I did not like the aftermath of it. Maxim had ended up going to her anyway and as embarrassing as it was to admit, it pained me.I still liked him. I had feelings for him even if he was a jerk. Sometimes, I wished I could turn them off. I wish I would stop feeling. Fuck, I hated thinking about him but somehow, my thoughts were filled with him. It was crazy.It was yet another night that I could not sleep because I was wondering what the hell he was doing out. He came home later than he usually did. Was he working? Or was he having fun with other
