Shadows of Deception “I wish to leave…”
Okay, this was enough.I was too damn sick and tired of all this drama.“Is this the way you thank someone who saved your life, Nadia?” I asked angrily, “Is this your form of gratitude?”“Shut up and don’t try to lecture me. I asked you something, answer me.”I didn’t.“I swear to God, if Sin didn’t need you right now, I would have killed you already.”“Then do it, Nadia,” I scowled, “Just forget about Sinister and shoot me.”She clenched her teeth as anger washed across her features, “I’m just warning you, don’t cross your line with me. Whatever you heard, forget it, you don’t want to get on my bad side.”“You have a good side?” I scoffed.“Grey,” She growled, lowering the gun.“And that’s the problem with you people!” I hissed at her, “You treat people like shit and expect them to treat you with respect! It doesn’t work like that, Nadia. Admit it, admit how you hate not being able to live a normal life! You pretend to be perfect but you’re not! I can see it, I can see right through
Shadows of Deception Free from that side of life…
In a swift fluid moment, I swung the door open to face my wonderful bastard.“Sinister!” I breathed achingly and threw my arms around him.“Becky,” he sounded a bit shocked as he pushed me in and shut the door, keeping an arm around me.I buried my face into his chest tightly.“Why the hell weren’t you answering the phone?” He asked in a soft but harsh tone.Pulling away slightly, I replied with a confused expression, “The phone?”“I’ve been trying to call your room phone. You weren’t answering.I was silent because, to God, I didn’t hear any phone sound.“You didn’t hear it?” He arched an eyebrow, “Becky? What were you doing all this time? Were you asleep?”“I wasn’t.”Sinister walked over to the sofa and sat, pinching the brink of his nose almost in frustration. I didn’t like this, I didn’t like the way he looked right now.“Are you mad at me?” My voice broke in that soft question.He snapped his face in my direction and frowned, “What do you think?”“Uhm, I don’t know.” I sighed ti
Shadows of Deception Not the man she expected…
Rebecca came a few minutes late and to God, my time with her was the best I’ve had for months. She demanded to know where I had been, and I told her I was with Daniel, my brother. I wasn’t comfortable sharing the details of Sinister and his people with her. I would rather not get her involved.I didn’t know why I was feeling that way. All that happened so far, it was catching up to me. The worst part about it was that I couldn’t tell anyone about it. I couldn’t be confronted by anyone about it without putting their lives at risk. I don’t want that. Rebecca deserves her happiness without having to worry about me. We talked a lot about plenty of things, her new job, her new boyfriend, and everything in between. “So, you met him a few days after I was gone?” I asked, again, to be sure of every detail.“Hm, hm, and he has been the sweetest oh my God!” She beamed with joy as she grabbed my arm. “Beck, don’t you think it’s time you find someone? I mean, I’m not trying to push you or anyth
Shadows of Deception Not the man she expected II…
Her hair was tousled, her makeup smudged and she wore a long white shirt.Vitaly’s shirt.“Call the police, Becky.” Her voice wavered.“What?”“You were right. That man, he’s different.”“You need to breathe first.” I tried to calm her.“ I can’t calm down, Beck!” She scolded softly, “He has a gun in his jacket. At first, I thought he was an officer, or maybe he just had a license for the gun. But then I saw something really strange. Beck- I just don’t understand—““Understand what?”“He has a picture of you in his wallet.” Rebecca trembled.Fear perfumed poisonously within me. No, why would a man I don’t even know have that?Unless…Oh my God!Another Russian with a gun who might potentially want to kill me?I breathed painfully and swallowed the lump in my throat, “He’s in the Mafia.”“What?”“Sinister,” I breathlessly grabbed my phone, but there was no service still, “Give me your phone, Becca.”Within a second, she gave it to me.No signal.“We have to get out of here,” I panicked
Shadows of Deception Not the timid Woman he expected…
In a swift second, I smashed the mushroom can to his face.“Fuck!” He hissed, staggering a bit back while straightening his nose.Grabbing the knife by the counter, I pushed him against the refrigerator and pressed it daringly to his throat.“What the hell do you want?” I seethed angrily.He looked at me almost surprised and suddenly began to chuckle, “I’m impressed with your baby face.”I frowned.Vitaly abruptly flipped me around and pushed me vigorously against the counter. My stomach hit the edge and ached in pain.“Ooh, sorry there, kiddo.” He laughed and pressed my front on the top of the counter while his hand grazed over my behind.“Don’t touch me!” I hissed, struggling to move, but he was too strong.“What a cute little ass you have.”“Let go of me!” I tried to kick but again, it was useless.Before I could have said another word, I yelped as I felt a sharp, sudden slap on my ass.“So, that’s how I shut you up.” He chuckled and did it again.This time it was worse.“S-stop!”
Shadows of Deception Escape, or not.
I stood up in shock as my heart raced a thousand times per second.“Rebecca!” I caught her attention and pointed to our answer.She gave a soft happy sob and jumped from the sofa.The only problem was that the vent was high up. “Doesn’t the vent also lead out to the front lobby?” I asked, hoping that she’d say yes.“I believe it does.”That was good enough.With a sigh of relief, we pushed the sofa closer to reach the vent, but it was too high for us to reach.“It’s no use.” She frowned.“Get on my back, you’ll be able to reach it.”“Are you crazy? I’ll trample you!”“I’m not as weak as you think,” I scoffed, “Just hop on.”“And what about you?”“At least we know one of us would get out alive.”“Becky!” She scolded, “Don’t joke like that!”“Becca, I’m not joking. This is my fight, not yours. I don’t want you involved with this. The last person I got involved— I regret it every second.”“Becky Mia Grey, I’m not freaking leaving you! You said it yourself, we are not best friends, we’re
Shadows of Deception But-wrenching feeling…
I thought about what he said for a moment and I felt guilty, but then again, I was in this mess because of him as well. So basically, we’re in this crap together.“Fine.” I pouted and hugged the clothes to my chest with a sigh as I stood up.Walking towards the bathroom, I stopped in place and frowned.“What’s wrong?” Sinister asked in that warm winter voice of his.“Sinister,” I breathed turning back at him, “This place, Vitaly, those people… they’re-“He looked at me almost in a challenge to continue.“They’re Rosalie’s family, aren’t they?” When he didn’t answer, my fear was confirmed.“They want to kill me, don’t they?” My panic flared once again.“They’ll do no such thing.” He scowled, “ Not as long as I’m alive.”Somehow that seemed to comfort me yet worry me at the same time. Not for my life, but for his.“Now go.” He finished, “I’ll be here when you’re done.”Nodding in agreement, I headed to the shower and quickly got dressed in the soft clothes I was given. I brushed my fin
