LOGINThis book is officially over. I can't believe I finished it. There were times I wanted to give up. Times I did at some point, but for some reason, I always found the energy to push through. I want to thank everyone who gave this book a chance. Without you, this book wouldn't be as successful as it
“Nikolai, I- ouch” She takes a step towards me and then stops, her face twisting into a grimace. I'm at her side in an instant, my hands around her shoulder, steadying her, “What's wrong?” I ask, my gaze scanning her carefully. My eyes land on the thin ragged line on her knee. The edges are raw, a
To be honest I wouldn't blame her if she did. She’d just seen me torture information out of a man. A man who deserves every bit of pain I dished out to him and more but still. Ava wasn’t used to this. She wasn’t used to seeing other people suffer. I was. I thought I could shield her from the darknes

Nikolai I've never been a fan of hospitals. The walls are always too clean. Too sterile. And the place reeks of blood and death. Two things I've never minded until now. "Here" I look up from the palm of my hand to meet my brother-in-law and a canned soda from a brand I don't recognise looking dow
*FOUR WEEKS LATER* "I want to take you somewhere this Friday," Nikolai tells me when we're cuddled up in bed after my third failed seduction attempt of the week. His arm is wrapped around my waist while the other strokes through my hair, as he looks at me, full dimples on full display. The smilin
Hi readers I know you've all been waiting for the next chapter and I'm sorry it's taking this long. I've been seriously ill since Saturday and just finally found the strength to touch my phone today. I'm not exactly sure if what I've written makes sense but hopefully it does. I promise to update
His eyes widen briefly and his brows shoot up slightly. It's his turn to stop breathing and that makes me want to smile a bit. His head dips, forehead gently resting against the back of my hand as he exhales shakily. “Say it again,” he whispers pleadingly. "I love you." "Again." He sounds like
