Nikolai POV

I watched Anastasia sleep for a long while. The moonlight shining through the curtains, casting silver streaks across her bare shoulders. Her breathing was slow and even, her face peaceful in a way that I never got to see.

No tension creased her brow or worry, tightening her lips. She looked younger like this, softer, as if the weight of her family's chaos had been temporarily lifted from her shoulders.

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   Protecting Her

    Nikolai POVI watched Anastasia sleep for a long while. The moonlight shining through the curtains, casting silver streaks across her bare shoulders. Her breathing was slow and even, her face peaceful in a way that I never got to see.No tension creased her brow or worry, tightening her lips. She looked younger like this, softer, as if the weight of her family's chaos had been temporarily lifted from her shoulders.I tensed up thinking all about her family chaos. She had a messed up family. A father who used her like a bargaining chip. A sister who drained her emotionally and financially. A mother who'd abandoned her long and yet, she remained at the receiving end of all their dysfunction, the one who always cleaned up the messes they left behind.Her heart was too big for her own good and that was the problem. She couldn't look away when someone she loved was in trouble. Even when that someone had hurt her repeatedly, even when that someone didn't deserve her compassion.I reached ou

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   I care about you

    Anastasia POVNothing ever seems to go my way, it's from one thing to another. By the time I got home I was in a completely foul mood.Every step I took felt heavier than the last, the weight of Bianca's revelations pressing down on my shoulders like a physical burden. She got involved with a drug lord, and has a debt of 1.5 million pounds. My grandmother's life hanging in the balance because of my sister's reckless choices and not thinking about others except for herself. The entire situation had my emotions tied in knots, twisting and tightening until I could barely breathe.The penthouse was quiet when I walked in, the only sound I could hear was the soft hum of the air conditioning breaking the silence. I kicked off my heels, not bothering to put them away, and made a beeline for the kitchen.My hands moved on autopilot, grabbing a bottle of red wine from the rack and a glass from the cabinet. I didn't bother with the formalities of letting it breathe. I just poured and drank.The

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   I'm going to Die

    Anastasia's POV‘...... before I die.’ Those words were like a punch to my stomach. They rang continuously in my head over and over again.She was going to die? I wanted her out of my life but I didn't want her to die, what the hell was she talking about? Dying?“What did you just say?” I asked, turning around to face her.“I said a lot of things, which one are you asking about?” She replied casually, sitting back on the stool drinking her coffee without any care.“The part where you mentioned that you were going to die, what does that mean? Are you sick? Have you been taking impulsive decisions and marking off your bucket list or something? Is that what this is?”She remained quiet, drinking her coffee without budging or answering my question.“Bianca I'm fucking talking to you!” I yelled at her angrily, my voice breaking. She finally turned still seated on the stool looking at me. I finally got her attention.“So all it takes to get your attention is to tell you that I'm dying, wo

    Anastasia's POVI left Zara’s home with lots of thoughts running through my mind. I honestly have no idea why I was going through with Zara’s crazy plan but I guess that's what friends do for each other.I love her and that has become the driving force for why I'm going through with this crazy plan.My phone ringing brought me back, the screen displayed a strange number. I was hesitant about picking up the call but I summoned up courage and answered the phone call, placing it over my ear.“Hello? Anastasia Reed on the phone.”“Hello Anastasia.” The familiar voice said from the other end of the phone.My mood immediately became sour upon hearing the voice that spoke through the phone. She was the least person I was expecting to call me.“What do you fucking want Bianca?” I asked, irritated by the fact that she had called me. “I see you've changed your number, is this another number that you can use to scam people all over again?”“I honestly do not want to fight with you right now, but

    Anastasia's POVLove they say drives you crazy in ways unfathomable and I got to see firsthand the experience of how love does that to someone. Zara finally explained her plan in full, and I felt my jaw drop.Damon's yacht party was going to be on an isolated island. Not just a stop along the way, it was going to be an actual destination. The yacht would dock there, and guests would have the opportunity to explore, mingle, and enjoy the secluded paradise. Zara on the other hand had done her research thoroughly. She knew exactly which island, its layout, and how to access it without raising any form of suspicion."I can find the island easily enough," she said, her voice brimming with confidence. "And I've already arranged for provisions. There's food, water, supplies and everything we would need to survive for weeks. It's all being stocked as we speak."I stared at her, still not fully grasping where this was heading. "Provisions? For what?""For me and for Elias."The pieces clicked

    Nikolai POVI returned straight to the office, and the sight that greeted me made me instantly want to turn around and just leave immediately.There was a bulk load of files stacked on my desk, towering like a mountain of paperwork that had somehow multiplied in my absence. Contracts. Reports. Legal documents. Each one demands my attention and each one seems to be more tedious than the last.I sat down, running a hand through my hair. "Elias," I called.He appeared in the doorway, his expression carefully neutral. "Sir?""What is all this?"He stepped closer, gesturing at the stack. "These are the files that have accumulated during your extended stay in Athens and they require your immediate attention.""Immediate? They can't be extended further?""No, sir. You've been gone for over a week. These files can't be put off any longer." He paused, a hint of accusation in his voice. "You brought this on yourself by staying an extra week and a Day"I glared at him. "I didn't ask for your opi
