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
Don Nikolai Home
I rushed to the house immediately after the car stopped at the estate. The nostalgia and the happiness of seeing Nikolai again overpowered all. I didn’t even care how stupid I looked as I ran like a madman. Romano had made it clear that Nikolai was in his bed recuperating. Since he had refused to stay at the hospital, the men had decided to bring the hospital to him. When I opened the door to our bedroom, I expected to find him in our bed. Instead, I found it empty. I looked around frantically for any sign of him while I panicked. “ Did you miss me? “ A voice in my ear asked as strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me into a muscular chest. I knew that voice, that smell, that comfort, and that familiar shiver down my spine. All those were because of one person. I turned around happily and wrapped my arms around his body while tears fell freely down my face. “ Nik…” I whispered before burying my head in his shoulder. He was shirtless, save for the cast on his arm. Other t
Don Nikolai Poor Lily
Despite my begging Nikolai to take at least one more week to rest, he refused. He wanted to be back to work as soon as he could despite being shot in the arm. His cast was off and all that was left was a sling and a couple of physical therapy sessions. He had called a meeting with all the ranks despite me begging him not to. This was the one thing he refused to take my advice on. I watched as he buttoned his shirt while his eyes were fixated on me. I was sitting on the bed with my arms crossed over my chest with a huff. I was sure that he saw the steam coming from my ears. Despite the fact that I was angry at him for not taking my advice, I had to support him. That was why I was wearing a white long-sleeved silk dress that reached right above my knee and six-inch pumps to match. I had a pearl necklace on my neck and pearl earrings to match. My hair was in a low bun and I had on minimal makeup on my face. Everything that screamed mafia queen. I wasn’t about to let my husband go to
Don Nikolai She gave up
I had never seen such a look in Lily’s eyes. At that moment, she looked capable of taking a knife and stabbing me with it. “ Why would you say that? I was literally just telling you good news when he came in. This is something he and I had discussed all week. “ I tried to explain but she kept shaking repeatedly. Obviously, she didn’t believe me. “ You told me you would tell Nikolai to marry me off and I guess you did. You betrayed me! “ She screamed as tears fell freely from her face. “ That is not what happened. If that is the case, then why were we planning your life minutes ago? “ I asked, wanting to hear what she thought of that. “ No! You lied! You were trying to get my hopes up just so you could crush them. “ She said. She was sounding ridiculous by the second. Did she even hear herself? “ Look, I’ll talk to Nik about this. This was obviously a spur-of-the-moment decision and can still be changed. “ I said and before she could retort and say something rude, I left. I ran o
Don Nikolai Unbelievable
After Nikolai had calmed me down, he had gotten me a glass of water and helped me wash my face. I had a faraway look as stared into a distance. I knew I was in denial but I wasn’t ready to address the issues that were going through my mind at that point. “ Brie? “ Nikolai called out in a soft voice. I blinked repeatedly and looked at my surrounding. There were men going in and out of the mansion like they belonged there. I had never seen that many people in the estate. “ Did you say something? “ I asked when I saw him looking at me expectantly. “ The officers want to talk to you about what happened, “ he said as if it pained him to say that. I knew if he could help it, he wouldn’t have let me talk to them. “ If you want them gone I can-“ “ I will talk to them, “ I said, my voice quivering. I blinked back the tears I felt threatening to gather in my eyes. I commended myself for keeping it together as I recounted the events of the night. Starting from the moment I went to Lily’s r
