Nikolai's POV

“When can we expect payment from the Morozov’s?” Philip asks as he turns the page of his thick old ledger.

“In two days,” I reply approaching the table and take a seat across from him. “Why the fuck won’t you let Dimitri get you a laptop? You can’t keep, documenting our financial records in that.”

I gesture at the ledger he’s still writing intently in. There had been more than one occasion where I had ordered him to turn the ledgers in to have them handled, preferably burned, but no amount of threats worked on Philip.

Partly, because he knew I couldn't hurt him, which only made me want to burn the ledgers more.

He looks at me over the rim of him glasses. “I’m not leaving sensitive information in some electronic box where anyone can access it.”

“There are things called firewalls, Philip. No one can access your stuff with one of those installed.”

“Doesn’t mean I'm comfortable with them.”

As much as I want to give up on trying to convince him to use any

    Vera I didn't consider myself to be a very violent person, but as I stood in front of this I'd man, I was considering changing my ways. Nothing would have made me happier than being able to kill him. A gun will be too violent. A noose would be too ancient. And a knife blade to the wrist would be too silent. So, the question became, How could a once-glorious life be ended swiftly and precisely, with minimum mess yet maximum impact? But he didn't seem to get that I didn't want him in my personal space given that he took another step closer to me. “Being closer to me will serve you much better.” He says bluntly. At least he had tried being vague for as long as he could. I had hoped my vague response was a hint enough and would get him to fuck off, but no such luck. I resist the urge to look him down. Is he mad? He surely couldn't be suggesting… “Your father is only getting weaker,” he drawls, cigar smoke rolling from his lips. “It will serve you well to work with us.” “A

    NikolaiThere were three categories of foolish people I did not like to meet, ever. Number one, people who could not remain loyal. The reason for that is quite obvious, if I could not trust you I would rather you stayed with the other billions of humans that I did not personally know. Loyalty took priority over everything.Number two, people who did not know their boundaries. I did not like people constantly stepping on my toes. I knew the things I could or could not do to other people and I respected that. I simply like to be given the same respect. I only ever push back when I am pushed. Granted, when I push back it is always excessive. But people would never be learning their lessons otherwise. So, it was a necessary evil.And people who could not cover up their tracks after a terrible job done. It was not a terrible thing to mess up a job. It happens to the best of us. Sometimes, things simply spiral out of one’s control so badly, doing a good job might have been impossible. Tha

    Vera Dressing up had been nice. I wore long black jeans and a white top with so many ropes. It had one around my neck, on each of my wrists, on my waist, and somewhere on my back. Then I paired my attire with white heels. If I had not become an artist I could have done very well as a stylist. As I step out into the elevator with my bodyguards, it reopens, and I see Irena. “Oh, we are ready just about the same time. Isn’t that wonderful? I would not have liked to wait in the reception and I’m glad I didn't.” “Your dress looks really nice on you.” Irena does a little spin in her sage green dress with a smile on her face. “Oh, I know.” And we both laugh at that. I could see that I was going to enjoy this outing, I could even ask if we could do it again soon. Then we met him. “Irena, what a wonderful surprise.” She reaches out to hug the man. He looks a little familiar but I can not seem to recognize him. “It would only have been a surprise if you didn’t know that I was c

    Nikolai“Boris is dead.” I hear as soon as I pick up the phone from Dimitri. While I was grateful he had died I was rather surprised, he had looked very healthy yesterday. Dimitri sighs and adds “Pavel killed him.”Pavel, another one of the men I worked with, was not a very wise man to offend. Even I stayed out of his way most of the time.“He must have died in a terrible way then.” Pavel had a reputation of killing people in the weirdest places or while they were doing the weirdest things.While I was not happy Pavel beat me to it, I am grateful he was dead. I would simply have liked to be the one that killed any threat that stood in the way of the happiness of any member of Vera’s family. Their happiness would obviously have helped Vera to stay in high spirits.“Of course, Pavel wouldn’t have had it any other way.”“How did he die?” I ask, suddenly very curious.“Pavel blew his head off and left the rest of his body where he met it. On the top of the toilet, some say he was pooping

    VeraI could list a thousand other things I could have been doing than taking care of my husband that was foolish enough to get injured. I could have been sleeping or eating,... heck I could even have been painting. But instead I stood in there cleaning his wound. I was half tempted to stick the glass further inside his hand to assist him in hurting himself.If he truly was consumed with the need to punch something did it really have to be something that would have hurt him? Why did he not simply punch the wall? It would hurt but not enough to wreak havoc on… wait why did I even care?If my handsome husband wished he could go around punching every single glass he finds. I did not have to be angry because he was hurt. Realising just what my thoughts were I grab a pillow and scream into it. He was my husband but I was not going to be addressing him like that. I was going to banish the thought of Nikolai from my head and go to bed.As soon as I manage to get out of this dress.I wonder
