Ace is haunting me y'all. Anywhere you see Ace instead of Nikolai, tell me puh-lease! Oh and, do we like Nik and Sar?
“Okay, now calm down, Nikolai," I said, shifting. Nikolai's smirk only widened as he pushed the plate away.“Now why should I do that?" He asked. I tapped on the table as I tried to figure out a way to divert his attention. “Seeing as it's my first time in New York don't you think you should show me around? I mean, it's been hours since we arrived," I told him, standing up. Nikolai raised a brow.“At this time?" He asked. I scoffed and out my hands on my hips.“If you can come back at this time then I'm sure you can also take me out, Nikolai," I told him. Nikolai smiled and stood up.“Sure, princess," he said. And just when I thought he'd let me go, he added, “But don't think I've forgotten the original plan, Sarah." Then he walked out.My cheeks flushed red and my jaw slacked. Nikolai was already far ahead of me so I quickly gathered myself and followed him out. I took my coat too since it was cold at this time.I walked behind Nikolai to his car and I felt as if someone was watchin
“You need more training." Audrey hissed out. "Look, Sarah, I like you but the thing is if you can't take care of yourself, you wouldn't survive in our world. You'd be wiped off the face of the earth within moments,” she explained as her expression grew softer."I don't even know what your world is about,” I answered her. I can't lie. I felt bad about not being able to help Nikolai better but there was nothing I could do since even I was unprepared."It's not my position to tell you. When Nikolai gets out you can ask him. But if you ever need help, you know where to find me," she said, patting my shoulder. She gave me a warm smile and instantly I felt better. Audrey turned away and left, leaving me with Charlie and Enzo.“I'll go see what the doctor is doing," Charlie said, turning around. I sighed and went to sit down."Don't blame yourself. It was bound to happen,” Enzo said, sitting beside me. I frowned at him.“Blame myself? Why would I? It's all Nikolai's fault for not telling me a
Nikolai said I'd be on car scrub duty for two days. Like seriously? I was annoyed at him for that but it didn't stop him from sending me off with Amelia and Audrey to look for a wedding dress.“You should try this, it'd look great on you," Amelia said, holding a dress up to my body. It was a white body hugging dress with intricate patterns. I scrunched up my nose and shook my head.“White is too basic. I'm the main character, I'll wear something different," I said, eyeing the racks. I pulled my phone from my bag as I dialled Enzo's number. I shifted to a secluded place to make the call.“What's up, babe?" He drawled.“Do you have any idea on what color of suit Nikolai will be wearing?" I asked him. Nikolai didn't bother going suit shopping, his excuse being he had enough suits already."I'm actually buying one for him right now. Haven't decided on a color though. Why?” Enzo asked. My brow shot up and I cleared my throat. I looked around so I could make sure nobody was listening to the
"With that said, I'll leave you to finish up. After all, it's your day.” Enzo stated then left the room. Almost immediately, Amelia came into the room a panicked expression on her face.“What are you still doing sitting there? Nikolai is already waiting at the altar. Let's go!" She said, pulling me. I resisted as a pleading look settled on my phone."Twenty minutes. I need to change. I can't wear this,” I begged. Amelia rolled her eyes."You chose this, didn't you? Deal with it, Sarah. Now let's go," she said, dragging me. I shook my head as I tried to protest but Amelia wasn't taking any of my shit. We arrived in front of the double doors that'd lead us to the altar. Audrey was already waiting for us there.Audrey smiled at me as she came to stand behind Amelia. The double doors opened immediately the music for the bridal train came on. I stepped out and Charlie was already waiting for me. He took my hand in his and walked me to the altar. He had agreed to fill in as my father.“Than
I sunk back into the chair, desperately hoping the leather would open up and swallow me whole. I'd said with my own mouth that I would let him touch me after we were officially married and now I wish I could take back my words. From my peripheral vision, I saw Nikolai looking at his phone and typing as if he hadn't just said the dirtiest things a man could utter.It wasn't as if I hadn't had sex before. Even I don't know why I'm so scared of sex with Nikolai. I ran my hand through my name ruffled hair as I tried to think of ways to escape. Very soon, we arrived at the mansion and I started shivering. I ran ahead of Nikolai to the room and upon getting in, I ran to the bathroom.Minutes later, I heard the room door opening and footsteps falling. The footsteps stopped directly in front of the bathroom door and my heart beat increased. After that, I didn't hear anything again so I slowly calmed down. I undressed slowly then entered the bathtub to have my bath.I turned the shower on as I
“What happened to you?" Audrey asked. I narrowed my eyes at her question in an attempt to act confused.“What happened to me? What do you mean?” I asked her. Audrey eyed me, her eyes lingering on my legs."You're limping. Did you hurt yourself?”she asked, worry lacing her tone. I glanced down at my leg as if I was just noticing my limp. I subtly looked at Nikolai to find the motherfucker hiding his smirk as he sipped his coffee."Yeah. I forgot about that. It was in the middle of the night and I couldn't see so I hit my leg on the bed. No need to worry," I explained. Audrey nodded, still looking worried. I sighed as I turned away.“Nikky, we need to get to HQ right now. I just got a message that we've got a surprise client," "Ah, alright. Sarah, if you feel like going out, just call me, if I'm unavailable then be patient,” he said, getting up.“What about Enzo?" I asked, furrowing my brows. He couldn't possibly leave me here alone. Amelia had registered herself for some fashion design
SARAHI snuck back into the house just as Nikolai's car drove in. He didn't come in though. Only Audrey came into the house. She passed me by without so much as a glance and I shrugged. I was glad Nikolai wasn't back yet. At least now I would have the chance to take care of the room.Entering the room, I saw that it had already been taken care of and all the clothes I'd scattered were in the closet. I assumed one of the maids must have come in looking for me but didn't find me so they took care of the room in my absence.I left the room as I went to look for a maid. Now I was bored and I would have sent a message to Landon but I didn't want it to look like something else. I saw a maid dusting the store so I went and tapped her.“Mrs Mezzeselma, how may I help you?" She asked, bowing her head lowly.“Oh, I just wanted to go to the theater. Could you show me where that is?" I asked her. The girl paled a bit as a frightened look flashed across her face. Her hands shook.“I'm sorry, Mrs M
“Omg, did I miss a lot of the film? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" I asked Nikolai, yawning. He raised a brow at me as he stood up.“Cut the crap, Princess. Let's go to bed," he said, walking out. I paused as I tried to register what he said. That's it? I shrugged as I packed up and followed behind him. If I ever tried to understand Nikolai, I'd probably get wrinkles before my time. Yes, he was that complicated.Nikolai got into the room and sat on the bed, closing his eyes. I went to the bathroom to change, making sure I locked the door well. I used about five minutes in the bathroom before coming out. I went to my side of the bed and lay down. Nikolai stood up and entered the bathroom too. He came out soon after, smelling of his shampoo and dripping water. He had no shirt on as he dried himself before climbing back into the bed with me.He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. I cleared my throat as my back made contact with his bare chest. “Won't you wear a shirt? It's
