NIKOLAI

For a second, I didn’t process what Katya was saying as I watched her face gradually grow pale and her eyes widen in horror.

I followed her gaze and that was when I saw it as well.

The knife protruding from my side.

"Shit." I muttered now as the pain hit me all at once.

The room seemed to tilt violently at that point, as I felt my knees begin to buckle under me.

My hand instinctively moved toward the handle jutting out of my side before stopping halfway.

I wondered when the fuck the mo

    KATYA“What are you doing here?” I asked, still standing in the doorway staring at him. “Last I checked, this was my house.” He said,“Right,” I replied, “I just… I thought you'd be in some meeting right now or something."Of all the places I expected to find him, the library wasn't exactly high on the list.Nikolai glanced up from the title he was examining."Normally, I would be." He said, I slowly stepped inside, shutting the door. "Then what happened?"He shrugged."Today I wasn't really in the mood for any of it."It was pretty obvious even now that there was a lot on his mind, and I wondered what it was. Actually, it was quite expected for there to be a lot on his mind, especially considering everything that had happened so far. He placed the book back on the shelf."I simply wanted to clear my head." He finally said, “And the library helps with that.”His gaze drifted toward the endless shelves.“Besides, I had a feeling I would eventually run into you here.” He said,"Oh,

  • Made for the Devil's Pleasure   Little Eavesdropper

    KATYA Over the past couple of weeks, the library had become my favorite place in the entire estate. It was one of the few places where I could pretend my life wasn't completely insane, and I could get lost in the fantasy world for just a little bit. Escaping this reality fully. I had been really happy when Nikolai sort of relaxed the restrictions concerning my movements, even though it was still a lot some times. I was also happy that his recovery was progressing faster than expected. Apparently, nearly dying had done absolutely nothing to improve his personality. If anything, he had somehow become more overprotective. The man practically had guards following me with their eyes every time I left a room. It was ridiculous. Then again... I couldn't exactly blame him. His paranoia was definitely justified with how crazy the past days had been. Mine definitely was. I rounded a corner and now stopped, as a voice drifted through the hallway. It was low at first, but I could hear

  • Made for the Devil's Pleasure   Something up his sleeve

    "I should have fucking killed him when I had the chance!" Lily yelledThe vase she just threw exploded against the wall as the ceramic shattered across the apartment floor.Lily stood in the middle of the destruction, chest heaving as rage burned through every part of her body.Another crash echoed through the room now.A picture frame flew from her hand and struck the fireplace.She didn't care about any of this right now. All she could see was Nikolai's face and everything that he had told her. "The engagement is over."“Who the fuck does he think he is to tell me those things?” She said to herself, “After everything I have done for that man.”She had spent years setting herself up to become his wife. Years of sacrifice and loyalty. All for it to be thrown away because he had found a new plaything. "Fuck!"Her voice echoed through the apartment as she paced furiously back and forth. Trying to think and force herself to breath so she doesn’t lose all control. Unfortunately, she

  • Made for the Devil's Pleasure   You are going to regret this

    NIKOLAI"Oh, this is shocking." Lily's voice dripped with sarcasm as she stepped into my study.Lily glanced around the room before fixing her gaze on me, as a cold smile spread across her face."You still require my presence?" she asked. "Have you gotten tired of your little toy that quickly?"Her snide jokes normally might have earned nothing more than annoyance from me, but today, it took considerable effort not to put a bullet through the wall beside Lily's head. Sergei had told me to be calm about things, so I was going to try my best do that. "Sit down." I said, the seriousness fully in my tone.Lily noticed I wasn’t in the mood for games and slowly sat down. The silence stretched between us for a couple of seconds as I watched her carefully. "What is this about?" she finally asked, as she crossed her legs. I leaned back in my chair."I recently came into possession of some new information." I said, “And I thought I should share it with you.”Her expression remained neutra

  • Made for the Devil's Pleasure   Part truth?

    NIKOLAI "You are staring again."Katya's voice pulled me from my thoughts.I looked up from the armchair positioned beside the fireplace and found her sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a book balanced in her lap.A small smile tugged at her lips."What?" I frowned."What do you mean, 'What?'""You have been staring at me for the last five minutes.""I have not.""You absolutely have.""I was thinking." I replied, as my eyes narrowed.Her grin widened.“I wonder what about.”Arrogant little thing.Somehow, in the days since my near death, she had become increasingly bold. Not that I could entirely blame her. I had admittedly relaxed some of the restrictions surrounding her. Allowing her to move around the house more freely and all.The doctor claimed I was recovering better than he expected me to.In fact, every doctor who had examined me since the attack seemed baffled that I was still alive.The poison should have killed me. That much was certain. And yet somehow I had survived.

  • Made for the Devil's Pleasure   We need to talk

    "I want to see your boss." Sergei said as he casually strolled into the clubhouse where the Crimson Order usually gathered.A dozen pairs of eyes turned toward him almost immediately, as the men stationed throughout the building immediately straightened as they sized him up. Some leaned against crates. Others stood near weapon racks or folding tables littered with maps and ammunition. Every one of them looked dangerous.The largest among them stepped forward. He was built like a tank, with thick arms and a shaved head covered in scars."You got a death wish?" he asked.Sergei smiled faintly."No."His gaze swept lazily across the room."I simply have better things to do than explain myself to hired muscle."The giant's expression darkened in rage."Watch your mouth."“Like I said before,” Sergei looked at him, "I'd like to speak with your boss."The man's jaw tightened."And I'd like a private island."A few chuckles echoed through the room, while Sergei remained unmoved.“It is in yo

  • Made for the Devil's Pleasure   What are you doing?

    "Where are you?" Sergei asked, as soon as Lily picked up the phone.His tone made it clear that he was in no mood for petty chitchat.Lily blinked as she looked down at her phone. For a moment, she wondered if she had heard correctly.He surely wasn’t talking like that to her.The fact that he was

    KATYA"Do you plan on actually kill yourself this time by starving?”Nikolai was in the room, glaring at me.His gaze shifted toward the untouched tray of food sitting in the corner once again. "I asked you a question."I let out a dry laugh."I did not think you were that concerned whether I live

    Lily was pissed off, as she stormed into the sitting room. "I cannot believe he chose to keep her over the decision of the council." She muttered under her breath, as she poured herself a drink. “What the actual fuck?!” she yelled out, throwing the glass against the far wall. She watched as the

  • Made for the Devil's Pleasure   Under his protection

    KATYA"Get up.”The command cut through the silence of the cell so abruptly that I startled. I had spent so many hours curled up against the cold wall replaying every terrible decision I had made that had landed me in this exact spot. Perhaps if I hadn’t followed Daniel to that club in the first
