I sunk back into the chair, desperately hoping the leather would open up and swallow me whole. I'd said with my own mouth that I would let him touch me after we were officially married and now I wish I could take back my words. From my peripheral vision, I saw Nikolai looking at his phone and typing as if he hadn't just said the dirtiest things a man could utter.It wasn't as if I hadn't had sex before. Even I don't know why I'm so scared of sex with Nikolai. I ran my hand through my name ruffled hair as I tried to think of ways to escape. Very soon, we arrived at the mansion and I started shivering. I ran ahead of Nikolai to the room and upon getting in, I ran to the bathroom.Minutes later, I heard the room door opening and footsteps falling. The footsteps stopped directly in front of the bathroom door and my heart beat increased. After that, I didn't hear anything again so I slowly calmed down. I undressed slowly then entered the bathtub to have my bath.I turned the shower on as I

SARAHI snuck back into the house just as Nikolai's car drove in. He didn't come in though. Only Audrey came into the house. She passed me by without so much as a glance and I shrugged. I was glad Nikolai wasn't back yet. At least now I would have the chance to take care of the room.Entering the room, I saw that it had already been taken care of and all the clothes I'd scattered were in the closet. I assumed one of the maids must have come in looking for me but didn't find me so they took care of the room in my absence.I left the room as I went to look for a maid. Now I was bored and I would have sent a message to Landon but I didn't want it to look like something else. I saw a maid dusting the store so I went and tapped her.“Mrs Mezzeselma, how may I help you?" She asked, bowing her head lowly.“Oh, I just wanted to go to the theater. Could you show me where that is?" I asked her. The girl paled a bit as a frightened look flashed across her face. Her hands shook.“I'm sorry, Mrs M

White hot rage coursed through my veins as I flipped through the pages of the contract. Nikolai had trapped me. He knew my position and he knew that at the moment I signed this contract, I trusted him and he decided to play me.“I swear I'll kill him," I roared, slamming the papers on the desk. Although I knew it was partly my fault for trusting him even after everything, I was still angry.“You should calm down. After all there's nothing you can do now," the calm voice spoke into my ear.“Easy for you to say. You're not the one being exploited," I retorted. The person at the other end chuckled.“Don’t act like the victim, Sarah. You and I both know who's losing at the end of all this. Now get back to work. I can't hold off the cameras for much longer; my tech skills only go so far” he muttered. I rolled my eyes and puffed out a breath as I disconnected the call. I kept the contract aside and began rummaging through Nikolai's shelves. I supposed for things like what I was looking for,

SARAH“The Yamamoto deal, Mr Lively. Tell me all about it,” Nikolai said, locking eyes with the man. I will my ears to the conversation and listen in on the conversation. Let's hope Nikolai doesn't catch me.“I- what? I don't understand, Mr Mezzeselma," Mr Lively said, his shoulders tensing up. Nikolai nodded as he brought out his phone and put it on. He showed Mr Lively the screen.“I need you to know, Mr Lively, you might be older, but I wield more power. I can have you ruined in seconds. I have a list of all the women you've been spending nights with and the videos too. Start talking in five seconds or all those videos will be everywhere for people to see including your wife-" Nikolai threatened. A gasp almost made it's way out of my mouth. Damn! Nikolai really knew how to play his cards right. Mr Lively broke out in sweat and his escorts just stood a small smirk on their faces. I had a feeling I knew where Nikolai had gotten his cards from. “Your daughter,” Nikolai continued but c

SARAHL had found a way to somehow clear the way for me so it was relatively easy for me to sneak out. He had said and I quote, “Get your ass to the car in the next five seconds or this deal and your husband will be things of the past." I wasn't exactly thrilled about being bait but for some stupid reason, him using Nikolai to threaten me had me standing up and leaving the house. Which explained why I was currently with my mouth taped shut, hands tied behind my back, hair ragged and Nikolai and L's right hand man, Colton, standing opposite each other.Colton was holding me by the hair and although I knew this was all a well planned drama(on our side), it still felt as if Colton had fantasized about the day he'd make me bald— which he was currently doing.“Let her go," Nikolai growled. His men had their guns pointed directly at Colton while they kept Mr Lively hostage. Colton chuckled as he dug his fingers deeper into my hair, earning a scream from me.“That's not how deals work, Mezze
