LELLA

Through the silver curtain of rain, Viktor stepped towards the passenger door and flung it open.

​"Get in," he commanded.

​I stood frozen, clutching my two suitcases.

‘Crap.’ I cursed silently, the cold rain stinging my eyes.

"I’m fine, Viktor. I have a cab waiting–"

​”There's no cab in this weather.” Viktor's voice is turning icy.

He walked towards me and moved the umbrella above my head to cover me from the pouring rain. He stood in front of me with cold eyes on mine as the rain dren

  • I KISSED MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE   CHAPTER 33

    LELLAI stared at the blinking cursor on my computer screen as the data points blurred into a hazy mess. My hands were ice-cold, my head was aching, and I didn't sleep a wink last night.​I closed my eyes, the conversation with Joaquin from last night echoing in my ears.—-“You're getting married, Lorelei Alvarez.”I stared at Joaquin’s face, twisted in a mixture of protective fury and deep-seated regret and looked back down at the ring on my hand, trying to digest his words in my head.I… what? Getting married? “What the hell are you saying, Joaquin?”Joaquin stood up with a weary sigh. ​"Our father signed the contracts two years ago, right after you vanished. He sold you to the Volkonsky empire to save our family’s assets in Spain. I’ve been fighting him for twenty-four months to keep your name out of the papers, to keep Viktor’s hands off you–”“WAIT!” I screamed, causing him to stop talking. “W-Who… W-Who's the groom again?”I swallowed hard as my hand gripped the small box tigh

    VIKTORI kicked the doors of the boardroom that silenced the room instantly and walked past the row of stunned vice presidents. At the head of the table, my older brother, Alek, was leaning back, with a wide grin on his face as he shared a joke with the CFO.​The second he saw me, his smile curdled.He leaned his back as he straightened his silk tie. “​Viktor, we’re in the middle of the quarterly projections. I assumed you’d at least have the courtesy to–"​"Out," I coldly said and simply looked at the men flanking him. "All of you."​The executives scrambled to the door until the door shut behind the last of them. “What the hell is this? You can't just storm into my office and–"​I reached into my coat and pulled out the file case, throwing it onto the center of the table. It slid across the wood, coming to a dead stop inches from his chest.​"Your son is a stain on this family name." ​Alek looked down at the file with a frown. "Conrad? He’s in the hospital, Viktor! That woman atta

    LELLA“Slow down.”I almost choked when Viktor talked, cutting off the silence in the air.I have been trying to finish the food he prepared as quickly as I can because I want to get out of here as quickly as I can. But it seems he noticed me filling my mouth nonstop.I drank some water and set my fork down for a moment, glancing at the crystal glass of deep red wine in his hand.​"Are you not going to eat? I thought you were supposed to have a meeting today."​Viktor leaned back against the counter, swirled the wine in his glass, and watched the legs of the liquid coat the sides. "I had a meeting in DC. I ate on the flight back," he simply said.​The realization hit me. He hadn't just 'landed back in New York' by coincidence. He was out of town, likely busy with the very empire, and he had cut his trip short the moment the news of the "accident" broke. He came back because of what happened to Conrad and handled the fallout that involved me.​"You came back because of what happened,

    LELLA​We weren't at my apartment. We weren't even at the Valerius Pharmaceuticals headquarters.​The car was idling in front of a familiar building and everything that happened that night flashed in my head in an instant. I swallowed nervously.“W-Why are we here?” I turned to him with my flushed face. "Viktor, wh-what are we doing here? Yo-You said you were taking me back," I stuttered.​Viktor was busy tapping a final command into his phone before sliding it into his pocket. ​"I said I'm driving you back," he corrected smoothly. "I never specified whose home."​"Viktor–”​"I need to make sure you're fine, Lella.”“I am well, Viktor.”He pointed at my wounded temple. “You are not well.” Before I could protest, he stepped out of the car, rounding the back to open my door himself and extending a hand toward me. ​"I have a private physician on the way to check that wound properly. No arguments, so now get out."My hands clenched at the strap of my seatbelt as ​I stared at his outst

    LELLA“Viktor?”“You will leave this room immediately, or I will have security escort you out of the precinct."Galina Volkonsky looked like she had been slapped. Her mouth was hanging open as she processed the sight of the most powerful man in the family standing like a physical shield in front of me.​"Viktor? What are you doing?" she sputtered. "This... this girl nearly killed your nephew! She is a common criminal! You should be helping me bury her, not siding with an enemy of the family!"​She stepped forward, reaching out as if to physically shove Viktor aside to get to me, but Viktor didn’t budge. Instead, he reached back and gripped my arm, pulling me firmly behind the broad expanse of his shoulders. I could feel the warmth of his hand through my sweater and it was the only thing keeping me from shaking.​"She's not the enemy. It's Conrad who's ruining our name," Viktor calmly uttered.​"How can you say that?!"​"I've seen the footage, Galina. My security team pulled the high-

    LELLAI let out a deep breath as the metal table was ice-cold against my cheek, laying my head down while staring blankly at the gray walls of the police interrogation room. I was completely alone, and the silence was deafening.The interrogation was done and obviously, I had told the detectives the absolute truth. That Conrad had ambushed and kidnapped me, that I was acting in pure self-defense to escape a moving car. But they needed hard evidence to back up my story. Until they could pull the mall surveillance footage or get a statement from a still-unconscious Conrad, they were holding me here.​I closed my eyes as a wave of dread washed over me.​If Joaquin found out about this, he was going to absolutely kill me. He had specifically warned me that playing chess with the Volkonsky family would get me burned. And my father? If the news reached him in Spain that I was sitting in a New York holding cell for tasering a billionaire heir, he would drag me back home in chains just to sa

    LELLAThe second my shift ended, I was out the door. I practically ran to the curb to hail a cab while my mind was already racing through a million different culinary scenarios.​The moment I stepped inside my condo unit, I dropped my bag, kicked off my heels, and made a beeline for the bathroom. A

    LELLAWalking through the glass entrance of the cafeteria were two people who commanded the entire room's attention. It was none other than our strict senior researcher, Dr. Aris. Walking beside her was a man I didn't recognize but who was handsome in a very polished and corporate way.​"The handso

    LELLAI sighed for the nth time as my mind was adrift. I'm at my new desk in the lab, staring blankly at the smooth surface, completely lost in a spiral of panic.‘​Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.’The words echoed in my head and it's making me anxious. I had offered food to fill a terrifying silenc

  • I KISSED MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE   CHAPTER 20

    LELLAI anxiously licked my lower lip as my fingers fidgeted together on my lap. I couldn't think of anything but money. But he had more money than he could ever spend, power that rivaled the city's elite, and access to anything he could ever want. What on earth could I offer a man like Viktor Volk
