See, I have a suspicion. Okay, hear me out, I know the author clarified that Enzo and Nikolai never did the deed together but what if? No, what if there's some kind of sick plot twist? Anywho, any thoughts?(see what I did there)Okay, bye!!
Nikolai said I'd be on car scrub duty for two days. Like seriously? I was annoyed at him for that but it didn't stop him from sending me off with Amelia and Audrey to look for a wedding dress.“You should try this, it'd look great on you," Amelia said, holding a dress up to my body. It was a white body hugging dress with intricate patterns. I scrunched up my nose and shook my head.“White is too basic. I'm the main character, I'll wear something different," I said, eyeing the racks. I pulled my phone from my bag as I dialled Enzo's number. I shifted to a secluded place to make the call.“What's up, babe?" He drawled.“Do you have any idea on what color of suit Nikolai will be wearing?" I asked him. Nikolai didn't bother going suit shopping, his excuse being he had enough suits already."I'm actually buying one for him right now. Haven't decided on a color though. Why?” Enzo asked. My brow shot up and I cleared my throat. I looked around so I could make sure nobody was listening to the
"With that said, I'll leave you to finish up. After all, it's your day.” Enzo stated then left the room. Almost immediately, Amelia came into the room a panicked expression on her face.“What are you still doing sitting there? Nikolai is already waiting at the altar. Let's go!" She said, pulling me. I resisted as a pleading look settled on my phone."Twenty minutes. I need to change. I can't wear this,” I begged. Amelia rolled her eyes."You chose this, didn't you? Deal with it, Sarah. Now let's go," she said, dragging me. I shook my head as I tried to protest but Amelia wasn't taking any of my shit. We arrived in front of the double doors that'd lead us to the altar. Audrey was already waiting for us there.Audrey smiled at me as she came to stand behind Amelia. The double doors opened immediately the music for the bridal train came on. I stepped out and Charlie was already waiting for me. He took my hand in his and walked me to the altar. He had agreed to fill in as my father.“Than
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
“What happened to you?" Audrey asked. I narrowed my eyes at her question in an attempt to act confused.“What happened to me? What do you mean?” I asked her. Audrey eyed me, her eyes lingering on my legs."You're limping. Did you hurt yourself?”she asked, worry lacing her tone. I glanced down at my leg as if I was just noticing my limp. I subtly looked at Nikolai to find the motherfucker hiding his smirk as he sipped his coffee."Yeah. I forgot about that. It was in the middle of the night and I couldn't see so I hit my leg on the bed. No need to worry," I explained. Audrey nodded, still looking worried. I sighed as I turned away.“Nikky, we need to get to HQ right now. I just got a message that we've got a surprise client," "Ah, alright. Sarah, if you feel like going out, just call me, if I'm unavailable then be patient,” he said, getting up.“What about Enzo?" I asked, furrowing my brows. He couldn't possibly leave me here alone. Amelia had registered herself for some fashion design
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
“Omg, did I miss a lot of the film? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" I asked Nikolai, yawning. He raised a brow at me as he stood up.“Cut the crap, Princess. Let's go to bed," he said, walking out. I paused as I tried to register what he said. That's it? I shrugged as I packed up and followed behind him. If I ever tried to understand Nikolai, I'd probably get wrinkles before my time. Yes, he was that complicated.Nikolai got into the room and sat on the bed, closing his eyes. I went to the bathroom to change, making sure I locked the door well. I used about five minutes in the bathroom before coming out. I went to my side of the bed and lay down. Nikolai stood up and entered the bathroom too. He came out soon after, smelling of his shampoo and dripping water. He had no shirt on as he dried himself before climbing back into the bed with me.He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. I cleared my throat as my back made contact with his bare chest. “Won't you wear a shirt? It's
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,
SARAHI did have the suspicion that he was in the mafia and when I had asked L, he didn't give me an answer.“Now that I've answered your question, mind answering mine?" Nikolai asked. I bit the inside of my cheek as I poured out a lie.“I did it myself. I'd taken a curse some time back on IT so I know a few things,” I lied. He scrutinized me for a while then nodded."Okay,” Nikolai said, going back to sit down. I raised a brow and grinned. Turns out I'm a good liar after all. I was about to leave when I remembered something L had told me."Hey, Nikolai, there's something I've been meaning to ask you,” I told him. He hummed as he tapped away on his laptop. “Would it be possible for you to maybe give me a bit of freedom?” I asked him."Freedom? Don't I give you that already? Are you not satisfied?” he asked, raising his head to look at me. I stuttered a bit then tried to stop myself from faltering.“Not really. I need to socialize. I mean, I need to get out of here sometimes," I told h
