Vera’s POV. “You’re really going give her this…?” I ask in shock as I raise the transparent panties Sage wants to give Lynn.We’re in a Victoria’s secret store to pick a lingerie for Sage’s naughty game as she told me.I don’t know if it’s because of what I told her about giving daily naughty reports to David that inspired her to take this risk with Lynn.To think they’ll do it in school?I’ve tried to talk Sage out of it but she keeps telling me no one will catch them while they do it.She loves playing naughty and by the cloud of excitement on her face, I know too well she can’t wait to get on with this.We used David’s influence to sneak out of the school and head over to this place. Andrei’s not even aware.I know too well heaven will let loose if they find out I left the school without informing them.I honestly don’t understand their reason for being overprotective of me. I can’t breathe outside without Andrei being there to watch me.They are making it seem like I’m being th
David’s POV.“Hahaha…man please don’t get me knocked out with laughter,” Nathan says into the phone call, laughing boisterously at my words.I don’t find it funny though but he does find it funny.“I’m serious.” I snap just to get him to shut up and give me some goddamn advice on how to get my feelings in check for Vera.“What do you want me to say? I’ve told you what to do. Give her an NDA and fuck her in peace. It’s all.” Nathan says again.The thought of fucking her in peace makes my blood flood through me. It’s all I’ve always wanted but something keeps telling me that fuck with Vera won’t be that peaceful.Cuz we haven’t been gotten deep into this naughty thing and yet I’m already a mess of emotions.I couldn’t get my mind away from the image of that yoga instructor and the stranger at the party. The urge I feel to shackle that girl to be mine alone is borderline crazy.Like, I don’t want her to step outside without me by side to shove all men and women away from her.“Why are yo
David’s POV.The speed with which I burst out of my car when my driver moves into the garage startles Irene.“Good evening…sir.” She stutters while greeting me but I don’t speak rather I nod. She moves past me to the car where she gathers my Jacket and briefcase.I storm into the foyer and see Andrei waiting patiently for me. The look on his face doesn’t calm my heart though.“Where is he?” I bite out, striding into his space.“Good evening, boss.” He first greets me, even though that’s not the first thing I want to hear. Then. “He’s waiting in the living room.”I nod and pad into the large living room where I see William lounging on one of the cream-colored sofas.Irene severed him a bowl of popcorn and a glass of juice to relax with while waiting for me.The instant William heard my footsteps, he turned and stared up at me.I inch closer, standing just by the side of his left-hand side, and shove my hands into my pockets.“Good evening, Mr. Truman.” He greets and I take that moment
Vera’s POV.Jeez, walking into Dame High School feels different today. I look around and I see students especially the graduating class hanging by the corners with their books.Everyone has their focus pinned on books, reading for the exams which are about to start.Yeah, it’s our exam week already, and…you know what? I can’t wait to finish it up and bound into what life has for me.Looking back, I see Andrei gazing around the school perimeter as if looking for something.Andrei has been my acting foster father since David traveled four days ago.The man didn’t even tell me before living. I was just watching TV when his call came in and he babbled about the spontaneous trip he made to Russia.I acted like I didn’t care but I know how quiet the mansion has been since his disappearance. Especially when I’m made to remember how things ended between us the night before he suddenly traveled.Oh, I don’t want to remember that…now…“Nick, hey!” I brighten up at the sight of Nick walking int
David’s POV.“You want to adopt her?” William asks with a note of shock in his voice.“Yes.” I drop the pen, resting on the seat as I watch the two CPS workers looking surprisingly at themselves.“Ahem!” Mrs. Margaret clears her throat to speak but I do so before her.“Vera and I have become close. So I can’t bear leaving her to loiter on the streets. I want to give her a better life. To adopt her as my daughter.”“Well, that’s a different case altogether but then Vera would have a say this time around. She'll decide if she wants it or not.”Mrs. Margaret’s words just dash my hopes. Heaven knows Vera wouldn’t want to be my adoptive daughter. She wouldn’t want that. Because she wants another statues altogether.A status that will complicate things between us.“Yes, Mr. Truman. I suggest you have this discussion with her before taking any further steps. However, please sign the papers first.”Fuck, this William is a thorn in my neck. How dare he disrupt my plans now?I only wanted to de
David’s POV.Beads of sweat dot my face as I step out of the car. Even though I just got out of an air conditioning, it seems as if I went for a run.But I know the reason I’m worked like this. The black sedan I saw out there was giving the scare.I march into the quiet house, looking around for Andrei to share this new development with him but I don’t see him around.Where could he be? I think to myself, searching around. I even go to his room which is on the down floor but Andrei isn’t in.Could it be that...he isn’t back with Vera? Or did something else happen?I lose the button of my collar, writhing my head in the process as worry clogs my throat.I hope it’s not what I’m thinking. I hope there’s no other set of men after Vera.The intensity of this whole thing bears down on me. It’s only now that I understand why Helen did all she could to get away from the mafia and also to keep Vera safe.Those men don’t relent. They keep pushing for whatever they desire until they get it.Des
Vera’s POV.“Vera?”The knock on my door and Irene’s voice startles me awake. I yawn loudly and gush.“Come in.” Irene clicks the door open, flushing inside with smiles on her face.“Hey, you’re still in bed?” She says rushing over to my side.“I’m tired, Irene,” I whine as she tugs me up from the bed.My unkempt hair falls into my face and I tuck the stray strand behind my ear.“Today’s your graduation, big girl. Get up.”“Not now…” I grumble incoherently, slipping out of the bed.“Of course, it is now. I’m sure your dad is already waiting for you.”The thought of David coming over for my graduation ceremony makes all the sleep vanish from my eyes. “He is coming?” I ask Irene and the woman mindlessly nods.Oh, that gets me. I now motion into the bathroom myself and do my routine.When I’m done bathing, I step into my room to and Irene already spread the gown I tested last night on the bed. My white louboutin heels sit beside it.“Congratulations Vera. You’ve grown big, I hope you kn
Third Person POV. Dame High school had been teeming since the clock of dawn and as they were preparing for the graduation, Vlad fled there to complete his mission.The receptionist had made it clear that all security inhibition would be let down today, meaning he could enter the school through the gates rather than sneaking in through the fence.The news not only excited Vlad but the Sokolov twins too. Anton had promised Vlad a promotion if he succeeded in getting the evidence they needed.And if possible, capturing Vera and bringing her to them in Russia.Considering Vlad's expertise, the whole work wouldn’t be hard.The instant Vlad woke up in his hotel room and found out it was already morning, he dressed up in a simple white shirt and black slacks. He dressed in such a way nobody would doubt his intentions.Then Vlad took a cab to the school. Like the receptionist had promise, all guards were let down and Vlad entered into school through the gates for the first time since he arri
