Ruining My Enemy's Daughter 81. Szef Mafii
81. Szef Mafii… Young Mikolaj …– 20 years ago –.“I need to know there isn’t some slaughter going on in my own fuckin house,” I burst at Philip as he glances towards my home in uncertainty. “I will go in. If I don’t come back. Call the cops.”I watch him from a distance as he knocks at the door. The ongoing argument inside the house subsides. My heart is beating fast, expecting the worst, but nothing happens as Philip simply disappears into the house. Is that a good sign?I have no idea who opened the door. It can’t be my family. If that was the case, Philip would have returned to take me with him. I glance at my watch, unable to stay still as a million questions swirl around in my mind. How long has this been going? Is this why Antoni called me this morning? How come the neighbors haven't called the cops? Maybe they think it’s just a family feud… I glance at the windows of the house I am standing next to. It looks like they aren’t at home.Five minutes pass then another five. My f

82. Eye for an EyeTW: This chapter mentions severe burn injuries and death.… Young Mikolaj …– 20 years ago –“Wipe blood off your face,” Antoni says, handing me a tissue box. My skin crawls as I touch my face and see the redness on my fingertips. “Fuck,” I mutter, cleaning my face with one hand while holding the steering with another. I never realized how sticky and thick blood can be. Antoni is busy making some calls, while I pat down my stomach to feel the cut near my waist. It’s stinging, but bleeding doesn’t seem that bad. Not yet, at least.“Now Goddammit, I want them now,” Antoni yells into the phone. Each passing minute feels excruciatingly long as I try to concentrate on the task in hand. Are those men still at home? I wish I had a better understanding of what is happening and why he is making the decisions that make no sense to me. I would have told him to call the cops if we hadn’t just killed three men. Thugs or not, It still qualifies for manslaughter. How will it chan
Ruining My Enemy's Daughter 83. Eternal love
83. Eternal love.—. Mikolaj .—My fingers are shaking with adrenaline as if I took a spoon full of caffeine. Inspecting my bare torso in mirror, I grab a medical kit and throw it on the counter.I never expected her to attack me like that. The idea seems ridiculous, but she managed to draw some scratches on me. This isn’t the Riley I know. I was worried about her safety. But her rage and passion made me realize she wasn’t as fragile as I thought she was.I hope she reads the file. She has been living in a bubble and has no clue how hypothetical her family is. It’s easier to look down at others while sitting on your high horses.‘Your family deserved what happened to them.’She ticked me off real bad. I try not to think about what happened to Mama... Or I would not be able to function. I close my eyes, trying to place my emotions. Do I feel any remorse for hiding my identity from Riley? No. Do I have any sympathy for her? Not exactly. I feel bad. But not bad enough to spare Ramsey and
Ruining My Enemy's Daughter 84. Best Friend
84. Best Friend— . Riley . —“You think you can do that?” he asks with a calculating glint in his eyes while I try to decipher his ulterior motive.“What purpose will it solve?”“Come on now, it’s obvious. If you don’t do this, it will only be a race. ‘Who will publish the article sooner?” He air-quotes. “Me or Ramsey. If you tell them you are dating me… They will understand the gravity of this situation. Why would your grandfather listen to you otherwise?” He seems highly amused and so sure that Granddad wouldn’t heed to my warning. While I stay frozen in my spot, unable to utter a word.Is he right?“After that, I will arrange a meeting to discuss getting off each other’s backs. Just the way you want. No more cycle of revenge.”Lump in my throat forms bigger as I look down at the beige carpet under my feet. No more revenge... But what are the implications for me? When I came to his room, I thought he wouldn’t agree to anything I suggested. If he has come to a compromise, I should ta
Ruining My Enemy's Daughter 85. Mirror
85. Mirror— . Mikolaj .—I throw a quick glance at her phone logs while making my way to bedroom. There are no calls or messages after our confrontation in the study. But she sent a text to Garrett a few hours ago.‘…..There is something I need to tell you.….I am sorry I didn’t tell you any sooner.’Sitting on the edge of the bed, I take a breath. It was sheer luck she didn’t tell anyone about us and I have to make best use of this situation. I have raked my mind and there’s no other way.Of course, I will choose my blood over an enemy’s daughter. Two decades ago, we were left with no alternatives. Antoni took our parents into hiding while I made rounds of law firms, without fully understanding what was happening. Investigation against us, on top of losing my family, was too much. Jonas shouldn’t have to experience what I went through. I promised Maria that much and will keep my word.Steeling myself, I type a message to Garrett, then throw her phone in my drawer. I hope it does the
Ruining My Enemy's Daughter 86. Crescent
86. Crescent—. Riley . —Mikolaj leaves the room, following Jessie as I unlock my phone to throw a quick glance. So many calls and messages.“Law enforcement. Please open the door.” My heart skips a beat when I hear the words. Loud and clear. I thought Jessie was reacting to something she watched on TV.I rush out, but I hold myself after a few steps. Mikolaj has not kidnapped me. I am here at will. ‘Convince them.’Moving nearer to my door, I strain to catch the conversation. A faint smile forms at my lips as the officer says, “We want to meet Riley Adams. Her family has requested a wellness check on her.”I have no reason to feel happy. But I am sure Mikolaj didn’t anticipate this. At least, I didn’t.“Sure,” Mikolaj says lightly and I stroll out of my room. He turns, meeting my gaze as I make my way towards them. He raises his brow at me with a smile. As if he wasn’t about to throttle me barely a minute ago. I can almost hear him say, ‘Try to be convincing.’Standing next to him
Ruining My Enemy's Daughter 87. Consider it done
87. Consider it done– . Riley . –Sitting alone at the dining table, I am staring at the artfully decorated chicken salad on my plate. While Mikolaj is hovering around like a hawk to make sure I finish my food. Goodness. How old does he think I am? “Jessie, it’s bedtime,” Mikolaj reminds her, and she shrieks.“NOOO. FIVE Minutes!”“Keep your voice low. Five minutes and then we’ll go.”Jessie goes back to playing while Mikolaj sits comfortably on the sofa. They had dinner almost an hour ago while I was lamenting the loss of my relationship with my parents and family, as I know it. My appetite is long gone because deep inside I know things might never be same. But I cannot afford to get sick. It’s better to eat. After swirling the fork around forever, I finally take a bite. See! It’s not that bad.“I need to have a word with you after dinner,” Mikolaj informs me, and I internally roll my eyes. Would it be possible to avoid each other living under the same roof? But I need to know wha
Ruining My Enemy's Daughter 88. Disappointment
88. Disappointment– . Riley . –.“Why is everything happening at the same time?” I say in disbelief. It’s too much to process. Last time I had an anxiety attack when I was digging into his emails with Ashley’s help. “I know it’s not something you would like to talk about,” Natalie says, but doesn’t know what’s bothering me. Ash saw some nasty images when she accessed his emails. Who knows who that girl was… I swallow hard, feeling guilty. I should have reported it. But how could I have explained it to the authorities? That we accessed someone’s email who has been on the run for two years?“He is dangerous.” “I think he always was…” Again. Natalie doesn’t know about Maxim. What do I even tell her? I don’t remember everything. The memories that resurface sometimes feel like figments of my imagination.“His company is not good. The people he was supposed to work with… were monsters.” I try to divert my attention away from them. I am supposed to keep my shit together.“Yet he pulled Ja
