Got Too Close Holding breaths
Nico's POV.Coming back from Rome was usually being in a car, with Noah driving, while I placed my head against the seat, struggling to catch a nap, which was futile when the sounds of sirens blaring behind us as we made our way to the airport made it even harder to straighten my thought.Today was different, for immediately I got into the waiting car, and my phone vibrated against the car seat.Father."I heard about the new development, Nicolas," he sounded like he had just woken up from a deep slumber and found out I existed, for it had been a week since the new development.Father took his time on a lot of things; it was like he feared overreacting, and that caused us a lot of anxiety growing up, like when we were fifteen and helped Milo leave the house when he wasn't supposed to.After Aunt Abby's wedding, he decided he needed to smoke his grief out, and Dad caught us after Milo went into a seizure.I could still hear Zayne laughing right on Milo's hospital bed while I crazed myse

"Your room," She repeated, her eyes beginning to tear up just at the thought, hoping it had to be a dysfunction in her ears. "Your room?"He raised both brows, his face still formal yet challenging, "Yes, my room; you've been there before, haven't you?"She swallowed hard; of course, she had been there once, the greatest mistake of her life, No, she did love Mia a lot, more than her life, But that night could have been avoided if she stayed in her lane.Especially when she remembered that that night he gave her a chance to leave, watching her sitting on his bed, his back placed against a wall as he sipped from a glass cup.So entirely, it wasn't his fault she had been so slutty.Now she shook her head, "There's no way you can ask me that; remember the rules, Your Excellency."He began to pull her as he walked toward his room, knowing she wouldn't fight him off so as not to cause a scene; clenching her fingers, she gritted, "Sir, we had a deal; once you touch me, you know it's all over.

My fingers trembled throughout the journey to Umbria, from the jet down to the car; whereas Noah drove me, he kept watching the rearview mirror, saying nothing, but his eyes spelled everything.I wanted to spill out my wail of embarrassment as I buried my face in my hands in the backseat of the car, but Noah's warning about women crying was enough motivation to keep the tears at bay.I felt hot all over, remembering the roars of the press, more camera flashes, and above all, I couldn't get the expression on Nikolai's face out of my head. It wasn't a blank stare; that eyes had shaken me up; it was like he had forgotten his script, and the real him— glared at me. It seemed to burn me down, my apologies frozen on my lips.So even though Noah angered me, it felt like heaven being pulled away from Nikolai.What have I done?I pulled the pins from my hair, my two hands raking my hair backward as I struggled to catch my breath, "I need air," I whispered more to myself than Noah as I clutche

"A lot of missing links on expenses concerning the company funds, Mr. Mason," I narrated, waving the paper and pushing it towards him; I peered straight at him, "I believe only you can explain what went wrong there?"He matched my glare, relaxing on his seat in my office, which was once his; he wasn't taking any of this seriously; this guy was becoming a pain in my butt."Reaching out to Mr. Moreau, he says he knows nothing about it, and in that report, it states that you sent it to him at the end of the year" I clasped my hand together in front of me."Who wants to know?" he checked his watch for the hundredth time.My jaw tightened, "I don't want to push this into professional hands," pointing at the paper, I gritted, "This is a huge amount of money just to let go like it's nothing." I exhaled quietly, "So, I'll like to know what happened with all this money.""It was used."I shut my eyes holding the reins of my self-control, "By?""The company?""For?""A lot of things that weren'

"Hello, husband..."Those two words had his brows knitted as he watched the red light bathe her almost naked body in a way that had his blood rage. He couldn't get his eyes off her, of the lacy Ivory Bralettes that hugged against her tanned body, that it was see-through had his eyes snaking down her chest to the thong.He would have blamed it on lack of glasses if he wasn't wearing one at that moment, but even then, his eyesight wasn't too bad; what was she doing?She let her finger trace from her knees to the garter on her midthighs further past the thong and finally stopping on her cleavage, and all those while his eyes followed the trail of her fingers.He was going nuts.No, she was going nuts!"You like it?" her sultry voice surrounded him, she flicked her hair back, twirling so her back was to him, and she placed her hands on her ass cheeks, grappling thick flesh, "I think it's quite Elastane, hugs me too much, don't you think?"His thought was a lot of things he couldn't fathom

A slam on the desk. "Fuck Goddamnit!" Noah sighed, watching the president slide back on his chair; this would be the hundredth time he slammed hard on the desk with his fist, his face buried into his hands, jaw clenched, and eyes restless.And him feeling like this wasn't advised; Nico was a demon when he had all these emotions whirling around like bonfires. But he couldn't do anything when the president refused to say what bothered him.Usually, Noah had a clue on what, but since Nico dashed out of his room almost shirtless and redoing the hook of his pants, with his suit bag thrown over his shoulder, it was like all of the president's composure was slowly going down the drain.Meeting with a newly appointed Italian ambassador wouldn't get him this worked up anyway.Something was up, something he didn't want to tell."Shit!"Noah grimaced. How bad was it? "Boss, are you ok?"His kindness was rewarded with a pointed finger tightly clenching into a fist, "Do not ask me that again,"N

Nikolai Star gazed at the phone, swiping through the numerous photos his 'wife' had put so much effort into ruining his life.Well, it was beautiful; she was beautiful, for he had never seen her naked in a bright light, and given the opportunity, she was perfection, hair like a damp mop on her head, skin wet and glistening.Staring into the camera and peering into his soul, eyes naughty and daring.He had begun sweating. And his necktie under his collar had started to feel so uncomfortable that he began to pull it loose right under the gaze of the ambassador, who had a confused smile on her face."Your Excellency, are you alright?" the woman's mild voice reminded him that he wasn't alone.And good thing, for he was about to curse out.Nico swallowed and shut his eyes before he dropped the phone on the table and sent the woman a wavering smile, but even with his struggle, he could feel his fist beginning to fold."Sir," Noah's warning tone relaxed his fingers back on the table.He sig
