Lovely Little Liar 149
THIRD PERSON Pov The chess tournament was on a Tuesday. Noah had been preparing for three weeks. He had played Viktor twice, his grandmother once over video call, and Nikolai several times, losing most of those games and receiving each loss calmly rather than reacting to defeat. The morning of the tournament he ate his breakfast without commentary, which was how Arianna knew he was nervous. She did not comment on the silence. Nikolai made the eggs without being asked. Noah ate them. At the door, before they left, he stopped and looked at both of them. “What if I lose?” he said. Nikolai crouched down. “Then you learn something”, he said. “And you play again.” Noah considered this. “What if I lose the first game?” he said. “Then you still play the rest”., Nikolai said. “You do not stop because the first one went wrong.” Noah looked at the floor for a moment. “Okay,” he said. He picked up his bag and went out the door. Arianna looked at Nikolai. He stood up.

THIRD PERSON The board meeting lasted four hours. Nikolai sat at the head of the table and watched forty years of his father's architecture come apart with patience, like someone who had been waiting for this room for a long time. The board members came in with varying degrees of reluctance — some eager, some cautious, some performing neutrality with careful blankness, for those who had bet on the wrong side and were hoping nobody had noticed. Nobody performed anything for very long in that room. The recordings Viktor had assembled were presented in sections. Petrov managed the technology. The lawyers managed the room. Nikolai managed nothing except his own stillness. Konstantin's voice filled the boardroom at intervals — his actual voice, from actual conversations, in the languages of a man who believed himself unrecordable. By the third hour, three of the longest-serving board members had requested a recess. It was granted. In the corridor outside, Nikolai stood at the window

Arianna's Pov By the time I knew what was happening, Nikolai crossed the room in three tides, cornering me, my back hitting the wall with a full force, his left hand on my waist, the right one resting on my neck deliberately. His lips found mine like he had been hungry for this, and had waited

Arianna's Pov I stared at him. A second passed, then another. The seconds stretched at the edges because my brain refused to process what it just heard."You're married," I said, not as a question, but to process what I had just heard."I'm aware." He responded like it meant nothing."You're stand

Arianna's Pov:Voss's wife? Was Nikolai married? When?I kept questioning myself. I didn't move, I didn't speak, I just stood there with the tray in my hands and the silence pressing in from every direction, and I told myself to breathe.Asher, the guy who had just said something about Voss's wif
Lovely Little Liar Chapter 1
