Lila POV

My body went numb as all the lies and deceit came down on me like a rockslide of betrayal, and my mind started to spin out of control. Everything was a lie. Everything that Nikolai ever told me, shared with me, confessed to me was all lies.

    Lila POVHe got home around seven o’clock that night and stopped short in the bedroom doorway.I was lying on his bed on my stomach, with my feet in the air and my ankles crossed.Naked, it was bold and it was scary because my palms were sweaty and my heart galloped at an inconsistent pace.I lifted a coy shoulder. “I wasn’t sure if this appointment was casual or black-tie, so I decided to come with a blank canvas.”Walking toward me, he stopped in front of me at the foot of the bed and ran a rough palm across my cheek. If I wasn’t mistaken, the smallest tremor ran through his hand.His voice was soft, but the finest threat wove through. “Somebody is becoming bold.”A thumb brushed my jawline. “My little pet is slowly acting like the queen, she is.”My heart went still. “Would you believe if I told you, I taught of you all day?.”His grip on my face tightened, like he was angry but didn't even know why. “Beauty, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.”His thumb ran down my

I wanted to capture that look in a bottle and take it with me everywhere.Maybe then, I’d feel like I had some control over it. “The weapons?” Damian asked.It has been settled for now but you know Mike is a snake, you can never trust him fully but we need to manage him for now until we get a better option.My mind drifted back to the morning and I remembered her agreeing to follow that India woman without asking me first and I wondered what tomorrow will play out like.?Another reason I’d lost my cool was when I found her laughing with Oliver who had his hand in her hair, I heard he was the yoga instructor and I hated him already.How could I say every strand was mine
