Nikolay:I wrapped my arm around Kiara who sat in my arms. Her head on my chest as I read through the papers I had to check. Vladimir sent me the papers as to review them, there were things that needed taking care of in the clubs back home in the States. Caruso sent us the documents of everything going on back home. Things were well, but we needed a higher budget of money, that shouldn’t be an issue. The things just needed my approval.I smiled at Kiara who was reading her own book on her tablet. She was too focused on it that she didn’t realize that I was looking down at her. I kissed the crown of her head making her look up at me and smiling. She raised herself to kiss my lips and I smiled into the kiss “do you want to go out for a bit?”I rested my forehead against my wife’s forehead and she smiled at me, looking down at the papers that were in my hands raising an eyebrow at me “don’t you have work to take care of?&rd

Nikolay:“Are you sure that you’re okay with this baby?” I asked Kiara. The two of us were going home despite me not wanting her to be around the house for a while, the two of us knew that we needed to be at home for more security, to ensure that everything was confidential, and that no one was following any of us.“You and I both know that it has to be this way Nikolay. We’ll try to arrange something with Harry for him to get the Ritz under Mafia Safe grounds, only then can we meet there and know that no one will be watching or actually daring to harm any of us” Kiara said answering me and I nodded taking her hand in mine and intertwining our fingers.“Are you happy being my wife Kiara?” I asked softly. The question has been running through my mind since yesterday when Grace, Claudia, and Richard were over. Then what she said to Vladimir, I hadn’t opened my mouth to speak of the subject in front of the men,

Nikolay:I paced around the bedroom as I waited for Kiara to come back from the living room.I knew that I promised Ivan not to interfere in whatever they were going to be saying or whatever conversation they were currently having. But fucking hell was this getting harder.The door to the bedroom was knocked snapping me out of my daze as I turned to find the door opening and Kiara walking inside. Her eyes lit up when she saw me and she instantly ran toward me, wrapping her arms around my neck taking me off guard as I pushed her away to look at her in fear that he had hurt her. I would kill him if he did.“Are you okay? Did he say anything that bothered you? Kiara, I swear if he did a bullet would…” Kiara stopped me by connecting our lips. Her hands cupping my cheeks as she ran her finger over my scruff. My arms instantly wrapped around her waist as I pulled her closer somewhat deepening the kiss before we pulled away to look at one anot

Nikolay:“So, you two plan on getting into war with a bastard who is playing with everyone’s life?” Timur asked and I looked at Kiara who nodded at the man who raise an eyebrow at me, I knew that he was surprised that I would be agreeing to put my wife into something like this. Especially since he knew how much I worried about and protected my wife “and you agreed to this?”“Not like I had another option, Grace and Claudia are in on this. We have to defeat the bastard before he puts anyone else’s life in danger” I said shrugging. Nikita kept her eyes on me studying my expression. She knew that I didn’t like this, putting my family’s life in danger was never something that I did. Especially not the women of the family. It was something that everyone knew about me, the Ivanov women were to be treated like queens, spoiled, cradled, loved, and cared for. Knowing that I was putting my sisters’ and wife’

Nikolay:“Everything alright?” I asked Kiara who had her arms wrapped around my neck hugging me tightly when she saw me and the men walk inside the house. Vladimir, Anastas, Viktor, and Alexei went to the living room, Natalie hugged Anastas and Maddie jumped in Vladimir’s arms the second he walked inside.I was well aware that the woman was on edge since we left the house. Worried that something might not go as planned or that one of us would get hurt, and I knew that it wasn’t because she didn’t trust our capabilities. No, she knew exactly how strong we were and what we were capable of. But her worry about me was all out of love. I came back home with a knife wound a few months ago, the girl went crazy and would have went to find the man who hurt me had I not assured her that he was already dead. One bullet in the head caused his life. But the scar he left on my chest made my wife go crazy on me for a week.“Everything is fin
