The Truth

작가: Maya Adams
last update 게시일: 2026-09-09 00:02:00

Nikolai's POV

I walked out of the warehouse, wiping blood from my arm. The night air was cold and sharp, but it did little to nothing to calm the storm that raged inside me.

Elias appeared beside me, his face pale in the dim light. "Sir, How did it go?"

I didn't answer at first. I just stood there, staring at the blood on my sleeve, the truth of what I'd just learned settling into my bones like ice which only did nothing but annoy me even more.

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   The Truth

    Nikolai's POV I walked out of the warehouse, wiping blood from my arm. The night air was cold and sharp, but it did little to nothing to calm the storm that raged inside me. Elias appeared beside me, his face pale in the dim light. "Sir, How did it go?" I didn't answer at first. I just stood there, staring at the blood on my sleeve, the truth of what I'd just learned settling into my bones like ice which only did nothing but annoy me even more. "He confirmed everything, the suspicions I had." I said finally, my voice flat. "Bianca and the drug lord were working together. They've been dating and the whole scheme, the debt, the threats, the constant need for money, it was her plan from the start." Elias's eyes widened. "Her plan?" "She orchestrated everything." I turned to face him, my expression dark. "She's been using Anastasia for years. Every time she needed money, every time she played the victim, it was all p

  • 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.

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
