Anika woke up feeling the familiar discomfort that awaited her with her period, the feeling of discomfort, the nausea and as always, the cramps that did not seem to give her a rest that month, she thought that perhaps having sex with Klaus so often and under those conditions would only it had stressed her out, but it was a lie she told herself to…she really didn't know why, just that it was a lie, and that she was in too much pain to think straight, the simple feeling of the sheets sticky against her skin told her that it would be a fatal period, sitting up made her feel nauseated, which she did not appreciate too much, normally her periods were bearable, at least two days, or in general her symptoms were tolerable, but occasionally a period would come that made her seriously question her Advantages of having a hysterectomy.Silky sheets sucked for times like this, her shorts were completely soaked in the rear, she thought about complaining to Klaus about it, her underwear, evidently p
…Fifteen years ago… Klaus watched his brother devour the gelatinous mass that his father had given him for dinner as if it were the richest of delicacies, the sight turned his stomach, not only was it completely disgusting to witness, but the smell was also overwhelming. making his nausea hard to disguise, it was part of the training, her father called it character building of course "In the army you never knew what you would have to eat" he had vociferated, after his third refusal to consume that substance of dubious origin, Nikolay looked at him with amusement "Scared of some meat?" he asked, Klaus made a disgusted face and pushed the plate away. "I doubt any of it is meat" he complained, his brother sighed dramatically. "You know the old man will beat you if you don't eat it." Klaus rolled his eyes. "He won't kill me, he can't afford it" he reminded her "Besides, I'd rather take a beating and die of starvation than put that shit in my mouth" he assured, making his brother laug
"I want an updated photo of Viktoria," Klaus requested seriously as he looked at Peter, who was looking at the money in front of him with an expression of uncertainty, it was part of the money he had recovered from one of the warehouses that Constantine had taken over, after they Anika had agreed to send a picture to her father as proof that she was in perfect health (Klaus was still trying to convince her to make the call, having not considered that she would make it so fucking difficult for him) as a show of good faith, the governor had sent the location of one of his wineries, the gift Klaus had sent her had also worked of course, it had been a risky move, she had sent him pictures of the man fucking one of Anika's friends, which answered a couple of questions about how the man got so much control over his daughter, it had been hard for him to get, but it had been one of the last things Anatoly had done for him."I'm not giving you anything," Peter finally said, swallowing hard, oh
Anika looked at the man seriously, Klaus looked unfazed, his tailored suit was as always, impeccable, which irritated her slightly, even shredding her suits as he had done, the man had gotten new suits in a matter of a couple of days , his tie was the exact gray color of his eyes, his dark hair was styled perfectly, he looked cool and in control, not to mention that the impressive and modern office gave him the atmosphere of authority, Klaus was an imposing man, and he knew it, seeming completely in control of her own presence, the intensity of his gaze made her feel slightly nervous, since the last time the man had laid his hands on her, she had not stopped thinking about what his hands could do, if she let him. Klaus clasped his hands together, thinking, while his gray eyes bored into hers."You are aware that at that party we will meet people who will analyze every interaction we have, right?" he finally said, Anika took a deep breath, it was actually Peter who had convinced her to
"That's an unnecessary lot of cars" Anika complained when she saw Klaus's private garage, who smiled slightly as he admired his collection, half of those cars were completely whimsical acquisitions, and the other half were part of his brother's money laundering business. “Some are yours,” he said slowly, taking out the keys to the car, a Bugatti La volture noir, as he led Anika to her seat, the woman looked at him in surprise, blankly, Klaus took a deep breath before replying, “Nikolay and I. we used to have this competition over who had the best car, it was one of the few interests we could share without father intruding too much” she explained, Anika swallowed hard, trying to absorb the idea that the almost forty cars inside the garage were mere whims of the brothers "As his fiancée, I'm sure he would have wanted you to inherit some...besides, our tastes are completely different" he added, while admiring the image of the woman inside the car, it was a completely elegant and unique
Anika felt in the clouds, dinner had not only been completely delicious, but Klaus had been perfect, the man knew exactly what to say, his answers always managed to make her blush, or laugh, even though they had gotten to know each other during their time in the cabin, the man had finally admitted to lying about a thing or two, but as promised, he had shared with Anika a couple of the fun moments of their childhood, though the dark look in his eyes at the mention of his mother and father was sign of an open wound, the more I listened to him talk, the more similarities I found between him and Mark, the way they both smiled was quite similar, the way their hair seemed to curl slightly at the ends, the arch of their eyebrows.. .It was evident that they were brothers, but at the same time they were different in every way, where Mark...Nikolay, used to be arrogant and mocking, Klaus was confident and elegant, the man had never taken her to a restaurant like that, her definition of elegance
Putting the phone aside, Klaus looked at the flash drive his sister had given him a couple of weeks ago, he hadn't worked up the courage to examine what was inside, but after his conversation with Anika, the woman had seemed so vulnerable but determined to take control that Klaus had finally agreed not only to open up to her, but also to make her part of what really happened between the mafias, maybe she knew more than she thought, she could help him find the missing pieces in what his brother had been hiding for so many years.He had not had communication with his family since the conversation with his father, although his wounds had finally healed, he did not stop feeling uneasy, Anika's father had collaborated, but if he really wanted to manipulate the man, he could well use Anika to his advantage. With the woman knowing his plan, perhaps there was a greater possibility, his perspective of the situation was distorted enough to see his father as the enemy.He looked at the watch on
After the conversation with Klaus in the office, Anika felt a kind of tightness in her chest, a feeling of unease, that there was something she was forgetting that made her go crazy all afternoon, even though Klaus had been patient and answered all of them. His questions couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the new world she was becoming a part of.The mafias were like a kind of organization and at the same time a quite lucrative company, not to mention that they had their traditions and codes completely established, Klaus had explained to him how his father, Mikhail had seized power by marrying his mother, a A model named Ekatherina, whom Anika had seen in magazines and television programs that talked about her mysterious disappearance, which according to Klaus, was not so mysterious to him, since his mother came from an important family in the Bratva, the Jojovichs, a family that had ruled the underworld since the era of the Czars, which was actually quite impressive, Mikhail had k
