LOGINKAITLYN I turn to look at her, my brows raising in question.“You are what?” Nikolai growls as he jerks up in rage.David scoffs and Ryan glares hatefully at her, his jaw clenching.I stare at her, my eyes dimming in confusion. The Bratva. The same man those murderers were talking about in that cave?He has a hand in all these things going on. Diana sits up, her eyes pleading.“Miss Ana made a deal with me,” she says and David's head shoots up.“What deal?” Ryan asks.I turn towards her again, waiting for her response. Why in the world will Ana make a deal with her knowing she works for an enemy? This isn't making sense at allHer lips part and slam shut, her hands trembling.“I'm sorry, but she made me promise I won't tell a soul until she returns,” she whispers, and my heart drops.David growls and jerks up, rushing towards her.“My sister is under hostage and you're talking about some damn promise?” He growls at her face.Diana swerves her head to the side, shivering.“Calm down,
KAITLYN Nikolai's eyes lock with my wide eyes when Ryan drops the bombshell. My heart is racing wildly and now I can't get the words of that man out of my head. Now I fear that they really took Ana. “Hold on, Ryan, I'll dig around and call you back,” he says and the line disconnects. He gets up, pulls up his pants, and grabs his coat to leave. “I'll come with you,” I jerk up in a trembling voice He pauses and looks at me, his brows furrowing. His eyes scream that this is a terrible idea. “No, you can't,” he shakes his head. My heart skips a beat and pain floods into my body. “I might be able to help. I know who took her!” I snap. He stops and spins around, his eyes darkening. “What do you mean?” He asks. I stand up and walk towards him, rubbing my knuckles to reduce my anxiety. “The bald man must have taken her when she came looking for me. She didn't think it was safe for me to go, and I promised I would call her if anything went wrong. But when I called her in the restro
KAITLYN I jerk up as my eyes snap open. My heart begins to race, and the horrifying scenes of that clubhouse fill my head. From the piles of dead bodies, the pool of blood, and Nikolai. I shiver as the chilling sound of a brick against that man's skull fills my head. I close my eyes, rubbing my face with my cold hands while shivering in fear and horror. The blood that splashed on his shirt as he smashed that man's head to pieces creeps into my mind. How am I still alive after witnessing such a horrifying moment? How will I survive with him with those memories buried in my mind? I sigh and brush my disarrayed hair back then turn to leave the bed. I gasp and flinch back when my eyes land on Nikolai as I turn. I gasp again and clutch my chest, glaring at him and silently questioning what the monster is doing in my room. He is sitting on a chair beside the bed, his lips slanting to the side in a smirk and his eyes gleaming. “What are you doing here?” I snap. “Watching y
KAITLYN My eyes raise and I feel horror mixed with relief fill me when I see Nikolai's face. He is glaring darkly at my abductor, his hand clenching a blade and his shirt covered with blood that obviously didn't belong to him.“You?” The bastard scoffs loudly as he staggers back. His eyes are wide with fear and horror as he stares at Nikolai.Nikolai walks fully into the room, his burning eyes never leaving his pale face.“You should have stuck to being Giovanni's little puppet,” Nikolai mutters as he walks towards him.The man continues to shift back, his hands trembling beside him. He huffs loudly, trying to hide the despair in him. “Puppet!” He growls, gnashing his teeth.“How dare you call me that, huh? Have you forgotten you were once Don Pedro's puppet too? Just because you got a chance to join the higher lords gives you no right to call me that!” He spits out.My eyes dim in confusion as the name he mentions rings a bell in my head. Don Pedro. Don Pedro.“You really think we'
NIKOLAI I step out of the car and march to the cave, my chest tightening in rage. I had received a call from her servant about her disappearance and her plan to meet Giovanni here. I had to take a flight back to get her out of this place. I curse loudly as I pull out a gun I'll use to end Giovanni for good. I don't care about peace anymore. If this will cause war then so be it. Tom rushes forward and pulls the door open but the moment he does, a bullet comes flying out. Tom and I duck the bullet, and I quickly rush in without hesitation. I stop in my tracks when I see the corridor crammed with Giovanni's thugs. I chuckle, staring at them with a smile on my face. “Get out of my way,” I mutter. “Back off!” The fearless meat in front growls at me. I crinkle my face as saliva sprays on my face while he talks. I turn and extend my hand towards Tom, nodding my head for a face wipe. From the corner of my eye, I can see them tremble in fear as they wait for what I'll do next. Th
KAITLYN I feel a cold splash on my face and my eyes fly open. I gasp out and lean forward but freeze when I feel that my body isn't moving. I look down and my jaw falls when I realize that I am tied to a chair. “You slept for long,” a familiar voice comes up and my head jerks up. Rage rushes through my veins when my eyes fall on the smirking face of the man from the hall. “You?” I huff, cursing loudly. He chuckles and tilts his head to the side. “Now, do you regret trusting me?” He whispers, his lips stretching into a grin. I scoff, confusion mixing with the anger that is throbbing in my body. Could it be that he is working for Nikolai? I can't say but I know damn well he lied to me about being a victim. Everything he told me inside that hall was a lie. “Who are you?” I snap. He sighs and drops the axe in his hand then falls on his knees, his eyes fixed on me. I watch pain flash across his eyes as he raises his finger to the ugly scar on his face. “So you know who did
KAITLYNI stare at the silver necklace around my neck, shivering slightly. I am still unable to recover from the horror I faced a few hours ago in that godforsaken underground, and questions of Jesse’s safety still haunt me. Ana isn't answering her calls, and neither is Jesse answering his. I jus
KAITLYNWhat?!"No!" I rebel, my eyes widening."I won't kill anyone, I am not a murderer like you!" I snap, shifting away from him and the gun stretched towards me.Nikolai frowns and straightens up when he realizes that I won't take the gun."You see that scumbag over there?" He says as he points
NIKOLAIThe man's head drops, and she lowers the gun pointed at my face while breathing heavily. She staggers back, and her brows raise as she peers intently at me, surprise darting across her eyes. “How are you still standing?” She whispers, looking mortified. Did she think for a moment that she
KAITLYNThe woman gasps in shock as she springs up, her eyes staring at a piece of paper on the floor. I am too shocked to speak or move.That person is still watching, and I'm sure he is the one who sent this to me. This is more than crazy! My hands are shaking so badly, and I'm sure that the thum
