LOGINHello Readers You have finally come to the end of Ava and Nikolai's story ♥️ I hope you loved it as much as I loved writing it, For the last ten months, this book has been my everything. In both sickness and health, I've made Nikolai and Ava my priority. I love them and I hope you do too. There was a time when I thought I'd never finish this book. It was the first book that I've ever put out, and the love I've gotten from it has honestly been so surreal. I want to thank all my family for their support and you, yes for sticking through. The next chapter is going to be a deleted chapter. It was a chapter I really thought would add an 'oomph' to the book but never decided it was good enough. I hope you enjoy the final update.
This 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 There's a solid second that follows after I see her, where the two of us just stare at each other, neither one of us willing to break contact first. Fuck. She wasn't supposed to be here. How the hell did she even find this place? "Ava, wait," Her eyes widened, a flicker of panic cross
I don’t. My pulse dips, and my heart rate spikes. The passageway is dark and the light seeping in from the library barely serves as an adequate lighting source. I whip out my phone and turn on the flashlight, barely containing the scream that threatens to erupt from my throat, when I see a roach s
The drawing is far from perfect, but it's perfect enough to make Kira smile, and that's enough for me. “Do you think Papa will like it?” I smile softly, brushing a strand of her dark hair away from her face. "I think your papa will love it.” Kira's smile brightens even more. The door to the
Marcus felt the weight of those words punch him square in the chest. Guilt gnawed at the edges of his conscience, a cruel reminder of the lives lost in the tangled web of his creation. "I didn’t—" he started, but Sergei held up a hand. "Spare me your excuses, Marcus" Sergei's voice dropped an octa
I can't care because I don't want him to stop. "You're everything. When I'm not with you, it feels like I'm unravelling," he breathes, his voice ragged, barely restrained. And God his accent. The way his tongue rolls around each word only heightens my pleasure. "You hold me together in ways you don
This was what made people run mad with desire. I finally understand it now. It was freaking glorious. “Niko… More… please” My moans had morphed into something else and more sounds I can hardly recognize as mine escape me. The sound of our moans and groans mingle with the wet sound of him movin
Ava I wave goodbye to Tyler as she settles Oliver and Emma into the backseat of the sleek black car that came to pick them up. She waves back at me, offering me one last smile before she closes the door. Their car pulls into the driveway, its red taillights glowing in the dim evening light, and I
