Nikolai’s Pov

He didn't waste a minute, he turned his back to me and left.

Adrian seems to surprise me at every meeting.

A smirk appeared on my face, when I noticed, I frowned instantly.

There was no need in stopping any of their staff, I pleasured myself by giving a tour until I found the garden.

The Moretti’s seemed to have spent millions of dollars on their estate. And even the decor was not disappointing.

When I caught a glimpse of Gabriel, I walked to his table and sat.

“Isabelle?”

“She is out there with her mother. I have no pleasure doing such familiarities.”

Gabriel and I were very much alike. It didn't take more than a few minutes before Leonardo approached us with two very familiar faces.

His pests.

The ex governor who Moretti had helped during his election, and the current mayor who was a close relative.

They had lost the last election to Gabriel, and even though during the election there were a lot of ill moves they had played against Gabriel, they still pretend to have

    Adrian's POV He wasn't speaking.He couldn't even say from where he knew me.Was it a mere joke or perhaps a threat? I know how conscious I was every time I went to the club in the past.“Are you scared?” He giggled“You haven't said anything. Why should I be scared?” “But you've seen me before…” He wrapped his hands around me and then whispered in my ears, “At the clubpink.”Clubpink?My eyes widened and I froze in place.The place I used to escape to when I couldn’t take Leonardo's constant need of belittlement. I always wore a mask. No one would know it was me. I tried grabbing his wrist but he was stronger than I expected. “What do you want?”“I will let you know.” He whispered and then looked at me, drawing his face close at my lips.”Without hesitation, his lips crashed into mine—rough, unwanted. My chest tightened. I shoved him back with all the force I had, breath ragged.When I tried getting off the bed, he turned me over, causing my feet to lose balance and I fell on the

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   14. A line between desire and hate

    Adrian's PovIt didn't take few minutes for Nikolai's gaze to instantly become indifferent.With a seeping cold gaze, and a voice that hint at disgust, he muttered-“Adrian, you are nothing but a child to me.”My lips almost dropped, and my gaze failed me. The frown, and my gritting teeth struggled to keep those words hidden in my belle.The veins on my arms were visible as my fist tightened. He could tell, his words had affected me. There was a sense of victory in his eyes, and when his lis curled slightly, I sensed his satisfaction.I must have thought wrong. I could never be his type.I'm a prey of his, and he was mine. I seemed to have forgotten my place.His eyes bore hatred for me, and my vision would cause him to be my enemy.How could I have allowed ecstacy, get the better of me.That feeling was gone, what remained was pure hate for the man standing in front of me. A child?I bit down on my lips, trying to calm my nerves but he did it again.“Little boy, don't forget, one

    Adrian's PovEveryone's gaze was fixed on me, waiting for the apology.My chances were already slim if not distraught.My eyes sank, and after carefully counting the loss, I tightened my fist.But there was no way I'd apologize to Nikolai.Forcing my feet forward, I lowered my head and muttered to Gabriel, “I'm sorry.”“I'm not the one who is offended, Adrian. Why apologize to me?”“Because you had to witness this, and it's Isabelle who I've greatly disappointed.”There was a pregnant silence, one that only caused my body to freeze in position. My eyes were lowered to the ground, not until Leonardo's voice thundered in the hallway- “What about Mr. Nikolai? Isn't he the one you've offended?”I scoffed and looked at him, “If Nikolai agrees that he is offended, then he should ask for an apology.”“Oh…” Gabriel had a sly smile on his face.“I wonder if Nikolai was offended?” Nikolai walked closer, in hand with Isabelle and without sparing me a glance, he muttered.“Adrian will be disci

    Nikolai’s PovBefore I could retreat to my room, Gabriel's voice stopped me in my tracks.“I wonder what you must have done to make Adrian react in such manner. He seem like a really calm fellow.” I had no response to that. As much as I thought about it, Adrian was the one who seem to always cause my flaring up. “You shouldn't concern yourself with such details.” “So what are your plans now?” I heaved in a deep breath, “Isn't there a better option than the Moretti's?” Gabriel's countenance changed, “It should be Adrian.” He responded.“You think he is better than his father?” When I asked- Gabriel seemed to be silent for a moment then he responded -“It doesn't matter.” He walked towards the kitchen, “What do you intend to do now?” “Leonardo wouldn't seat tight, seeing he might lose this opportunity with the Mancini's. That is my punishment for Adrian.” I was looking forward to every bit of it. Knowing how Leonardo treats Adrian, I trust what happened today would come with a bet

    Adrian's PovThe tires screeched as we arrived at the church.I looked out the window, staring at the people hurrying inside the church.But the only words ringing in my head, was Leonardo's.“Mess this up, and I will kill you before the Mancini's get to you.”Threats have started feeling like nothing, who the hell told them I was scared of dying?I clenched hand on the pendant in my hands. It had a picture of my mother and on this day, I couldn't help but think about her more.She had asked me once about the kind of wedding I'd love to have. Even at the time, I had no idea. Back then- I couldn't give her a response, all I wanted then was to give her a better life.I have never imagined to have any wedding, not a single partner I met, ever made me imagined what it would be like. Not even as a child did I fantasize about fairytales like that.So sitting here, and waiting to be called on felt more like a task, as it should. A low moan escaped from my lips and I took in a deep breathe

    Nikolai’s Pov“Franklyn arrived at the reception.” Gregory muttered to my ears, and my teeth gritted.“Keep an eye on him.” “Do we wait till he makes a move?” Gregory asked, but then I was distracted staring at the couple exchanging rings.I looked at Adrian who stretched his hands and let Isabelle put the ring on him. When he grabbed her tiny hands, I drifted my gaze to the beautiful decor of the altar.Quite spectacular by the way.“Sir, you haven't responded.” Gregory reminded. “Do we help Adrian?” “Didn't I say you can do as you please?” “Yes. But if he makes a move?” “Do what you must.” The church service didn't take long, in no time we arrived at the reception. Adrian stood amidst the crowd, gulping down wine. I had to praise him—he could hold his alcohol.But I could see it, his steps, even back at the altar. Leonardo's rod must have hurt his legs. He tried to hide it, but even the way he held his shoulders up, it was evident he was in pain.Shoulder down, spine, and leg

    Adrian's Pov “Argh” painful moans escaped my lips. I tried touching my head but couldn't.My hands were tied.My eyes instantly peeled open. There was an opened window in front of me, and the sunlight that shone through the gaps caused my eyelashes to bat. I clenched it shut instantly, but then a shadow stood between the light rays and me.I looked, and saw a man standing in front of me. The sunlight left shadows on his face, but when he spoke I finally realized what had happened to me a few hours ago.Kidnapped!“You are up?” Franklyn muttered with so much disgust.He walked forward and held my jaw, piercing his finger deep in my skin.“Living large?” He spat. “The Moretti's are nothing but snakes. Having others do their dirty work and when it's done, what do they do? Wipe them off like they were nothing but dogs.”“I swear to end all of you.”I stared coldly at him. There were moments I thought of dying—but being killed by a loser like him? Not a chance.When he didn't see an ounce

    Adrian’s PovThe bullet burnt into my belly, and blood gushed out. I could feel my life slowly slipping away, yet I let out a grunt.“Does this piece of shit gets to kill me?” I muttered.“You still have the energy to speak?” Franklyn snickered. He stepped on the wounded area but then-The doors opened and two other men walked in. I'm guessing one of them had hit me on my head back at the restroom.“You are going to kill him? What about the ransom money?” One of them asked.“There aren't no random money.” Franklyn pointed over at the bags by the corner of the room. “Someone already paid.” “Woohoo.” The men laughed counting the bundles of dollars.My vision was begining to blurred. I couldn't help but wonder who would pay Franklyn to kill his enemy?I bite down on my lips. It wasn't the first time I've been shot. I moved my hands and grabbed a shard of the broken bottle.As though counter their money, I was able to untied myself. “You can't take your share for now.” Franklyn tried

    Nikolai 's PovThe view changed!It has changed since the last time I was here.It used to be just clouds I could see, while standing in my office that was 100 ft away from the ground.But now, I could see another tower in view. Not as tall as the Mancini's but enough to spot on.There were clouds dancing round it. It seemed like it was floating just on it.When it was sunset, the rays touched the glass tower, causing a ray string in the clouds. It hits my terrace, and those times when the clouds are a shade of pink, it was beautiful.I hate to admit it, but the Moretti tower did add some elements of fancy to my view.I swirl the glass on my hand and sipped from it. Staring at the Moretti tower only made me think of him.Adrian It's been a week, and he was still in the hospital. The last time I saw him, he pierced a knife into my prisoner's body.Curiosity panged in my chest. Was he truly like his father?The door opened and Gregory announced his presence. “I didn't find anything.

    Adrian's PovThe faint music playing in the background felt like it was talking to my soul.‘A little drop of rain on the earth, and lemonades as fresh as fresh water mixed with mint.’Those lyrics reminded me so much of how much I've given just to please Leonardo.Watching Isabelle giving herself up just for her family's honor, only broke my heart. Perhaps, it was these similarities that made her feel like the perfect bride.She was naked, yet I felt no bit of attraction, in that moment of complete stillness, I could still only wish for one thing, a longing, perhaps, it was lust, as dangerous as it was, I longed for it.Not the pretty damsel in front of me.My eyes settled on her demeanor, and I could see the tears slowly gathering in her eyes. It looked like a pure stream in the mountain below the waterfall, clear and beautified by the flowers that grew on both sides.As she took a step towards me, a tear dropped down her cheeks. She stood on her toes and reached for my lips. I wa

    Adrian's Pov The tears kept falling from her eyes like a cascade, and she didn't dare look up. I held the tray to stop it from shaking, but she tightened her grip around it and said-“My father wouldn't try to kill you.” Her voice was shaking, and when she looked up at me, her eyes were swollen and red.Isabelle was innocent. Which mafia family doesn't kill people?“You should know that, it's just the truth.” She tried convincing me.I didn't utter a word to her. Her eyes wavered behind me, and I could tell she met Gabriel's gaze.“Mr Adrian, I will show you to your room.” The maid was standing behind Isabelle.“Of course.” I took a step forward but then-The sound of the tray shattering on the ground caused my ears to feel as though it was being pierced by the sound of a bachin sound.I turned and Isabelle's eyes met mine instantly, her pleading eyes slowly dropped tears down her cheeks, staining her beautiful features and when it hit her lips, they slowly parted.“Stay away from a

    Adrian's PovIt's been a week, and only Isabelle and her mother have been to visit me. There was no news about the death of the prisoner, everything outside seemed normal, and everything in the hospital.I thought by now, Nikolai might have figured I killed his prisoner, but he wasn't here yet.For some reasons I was disappointed, even though knowing it would put me at a disadvantage. I had replayed it over again in my head waiting for him so I could question him why he had tried to have me killed.But he didn't come.There was no CCTV in the basement, and I had wiped off my fingerprints. Perhaps, they never found out it was me.“Adrian.” Isabelle smiled as she walked to me from the door.“You are getting discharged today.” The doctor walked inside and then said, “Your wife has been impatient. The tests came out fine, you will be given medications, make sure to take them. Mrs Thompson will go with you, to help with the bandages. You still have to keep those on for the next one wee

    Adrian's Pov When I woke up, it was almost morning. I could barely stand and I tried to hold myself.The nurse was laying on the sofa, a bit uncomfortable.I tried turning on the lights to wake her up and thankfully she did.“Why are you sleeping here?” “Adrian, you are awake.” She muttered. Her eyes were reddened and instead of preparing to leave she sat up and settled into the sofa. “Were you worried?” I asked and she brushed me off.“You gave us quite another scare I must say.” “I'm sorry.” I responded, seeing the bags under her eyes and her wrinkled skin.She seemed to be around my mother's age, if she were alive.“Why did you have to leave? You were barely even in a position to go to the restroom by yourself.”“I had something to do.” “I see. Well, I hope you are done, cause you will not be able to leave here again until you are well.”I could see a glint of fear lingering in her eyes, one that caused her breath to become heavier than normal.There could only be one person t

    Nikolai PovHe was friendly, too friendly.Adrian had too much energy. I could sense he was skimming something.But as much as I tried to think about it, I couldn't help but wonder if he actually was a member of the club or he followed me.Both reasons seemed to hit on my nerves. I could sense my lips constantly wanting to curl into a smile.I hated it. “Eat the one I gave you.” He wasn't distant, he cut a piece of the stake and waited for me to part my lips.The boundary I had drawn, he was trespassing.“Eat your meal, I don't like such food.” I waited for him to put down the knife, but Adrian seemed to have other plans. I could tell from the naughty smile he had on…What could he be thinking? I couldn't guess, but I was guarded.He dropped the spoon back on the plate, and stood up. Adrian walked to me, and placed his hand on my shoulder, and then leaned his face forward.My breath hitched, my space was violated.“I will feed you, Mr Volkov.” He took the spoon and placed it on my

    Adrian's Pov The air suddenly became chilled as Nikolai took a step forward. My heart clenched tight, and I stumbled backwards.He stopped.“Why are you here?” His eyebrows raised and his eyes trailed my body, when he saw the car keys dangling on my thumbs, he scoffed.He took another step forward, and I couldn't think of anything better than a truth wrapped in a lie.“I followed you here.” I muttered and his eyes widened. I felt life escape from me the moment I said those words.For a fleeting moment, I gasped at the thought of actually following him here.I swallowed as tension gripped my nerves causing air to escape my barely parted lips.But he, Nikolai, was without words.He stared into my eyes without batting an eye.One, two, I counted and he squinted as if waiting for more information.But I had none. After a few moments of silence and tensed air, I asked him, closing the space between by two steps.“Why are you here?” He didn't answer. It felt as though he was deep in thou

    Nikolai ‘s Pov“They are ready.” Thomas informed me from outside the car and Gregory turned to me.“Pinky is the private room.” I came down from the car and then headed into the club through the private elevator.When I entered the room, it was dark and pinky crouched on the sofa with her head bent to the ground. Her long pink hair was straightened and tied on both sides, with bangs that fell on her forehead.Immediately she saw me, Pinky collapsed to the ground in defeat.“Nikolai.” Her voice was shaking. “You received a job? Who paid to have Adrian killed?” Her eyes wavered but then she looked at me and met my eyes.“Aren't the Moretti's your enemy?” She still didn't understand.“Yet, I allowed Adrian to get married to my niece.” When she heard those words, she crawled to my feet and then pleaded, “I didn't have any ideas. I took the job because of the money, and Teddy didn't mention…” She bites her lips.“Teddy…” My lips curved in anger, “he paid for Adrian's kidnapping?” Pinky
