Anastasia POV

Zara had to leave early after the dinner date but I remained seated in the restaurant, my mind still racing with everything that had happened.

Damon's invitation sat heavy in my bag, a constant reminder of the conversation I'd had with him. His words didn't stop echoing in my head, his words were smooth and threatening all at once.

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   The Interrogation

    Nikolai's POVThe room was dark except for the faint glow of the moon steaming through the curtains. I sat on the edge of the bed, watching Anastasia sleep. Her face was peaceful, her breathing slow and even. She looked so peaceful sleeping like this, like all the weight of the world was lifted from her shoulders.My chest ached the moment everything she'd told me earlier replayed in my mind. The years of sacrifice, endless cycle of hope and disappointment. The way her family had used her, drained her, and left her to clean up their messes. She'd finally drawn a line, finally decided to let go and I'd promised to respect that.But now, sitting here in the darkness, I felt inadequate. I want to do more for her, fix everything and make all her pain disappear.Instead, I feel like I am causing her more problems. The scandal. The pictures and how my name had been dragged through the mud. None of it was her fault, but she was caught in the middle of it anyway.I ran a hand through my hair,

    Nikolai's POVI stood at Leona's door, my hand still gripping the handle, my body filled with rage. Confronting her left me with a bitter feeling, while her words still echoed in my ears when she confessed her feelings, schemes and her willingness to destroy what I had with Anastasia.I released the handle and turned to leave, pulling my hood up to cover my face."Nikolai." Her voice stopped me cold.I paused but didn't turn around. "What do you want, Leona?""She doesn't have the power you need."My jaw tightened hearing her say those words, my hands clench into fists at my sides."Anastasia," Leona continued, her voice smooth and calculated, "she's not the one who can elevate you, she doesn't have what it takes to take your business to the next level. She doesn't have the connections or the resources or the drive to do so."I turned slowly, meeting her gaze. “So what exactly are you trying to say?"She stepped closer, her smile sharp and knowing. "I'm offering you a choice, Nikolai.

    Anastasia's POVWaking up to an empty bed wasn't what I was expecting. My hand reached out instinctively, searching for the warmth that should have been there but I got greeted by the cold sheets. He was gone for probably an hour or twoI sat up, my heart already racing. The room was quiet, too quiet, a knot formed in my stomach as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed."Nikolai?" My voice echoed through the empty room, unanswered.I moved through the house quickly, checking every room from the kitchen, living room, and study. Each empty space I searched through made my chest tighten a little more. When I was done checking the whole house and now certain that he wasn't home, I got instantly scared.My fingers trembled as I grabbed my phone and dialed his number. It rang once, twice, three times. Then voicemail. I tried again and again. Each unanswered call sent a fresh wave of worry crashing through me.I couldn't sit still, I paced the living room, my mind racing with possibiliti

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie    Confronting Her

    Nikolai’s POV Barely any light had crept through the curtains when I slipped out of bed. Anastasia was still fast asleep, her breathing slow and peaceful, her face relaxed in a way that made me want to kiss her. I watched her for a moment, fighting the urge to crawl back under the covers and stay there, cuddled up with her. But I had other plans, I couldn't lay under the covers with her, not with Leona's betrayal burning a hole in my chest. I scribbled a quick note and left it on the nightstand. "Went out. I'll be back. Don't worry." It was vague, probably frustrating, but I couldn't bring myself to tell her where I was going. She would try to stop me, and I couldn't afford to be stopped. The morning air was cold and sharp hitting my face as I climbed into the car. I pulled out my phone and dialed Elias, not caring that it was barely five in the morning. "Sir?" His voice was groggy, laced with confusion. "Is everything alright? Do you need anything?" "I need Leona's address, her
