My Boss Loves Me Chapter 41
(POV - Nicholas Shaw)Two hundred years ago nothing in my life was more important than power. Two hundred years later the only thing that matters in my life is a woman. If I could go back in time and tell my younger self about Eleanor, maybe the past me would just snort and forget.But now ...I put my right hand into my trouser pocket, my fingers touching the soft surface of the velvet in the shape of a small square. It took me a long time to choose it until I had to be late for home. But it's all worth the ring in my pocket right now. It was the ruby that I finally chose for Eleanor. Even from the first time I saw her I knew this ring would be perfect for her.I didn't plan for this at all, getting married isn't the most important thing right now.No, as long as I haven't gotten rid of Alastair then Eleanor isn't completely mine.But lately Eleanor seems to be getting farther away from me, no matter how close she is to my side I can feel her thoughts are far away from me. I want to

Somehow we made it through dinner with Greg and Lana. After I told him about my pregnancy, Nick was silent for quite a while. He didn't even look at me after that. For a moment I was sure He would leave me. I know I took too long to tell him but still no matter how much I tried to prepare myself, Nick's response still hurt.I can't remember how long I stood staring at his back until he suddenly stood up and muttered we would be late for dinner if we didn't leave soon. Dinner with Greg and Lana was the last thing on my mind, but I couldn't say a word against it.Nick didn't ignore me but he barely looked at me during dinner. When Greg poured Wine for me Nick exchanged it with a glass of water without saying a word, Greg just frowned slightly when he saw Nick's attitude. They were both still cold to each other. The only one who saved me that night was Lana, she distracted me for a while with our chat.The journey home was a torment in itself for me, or maybe for both of us.Nick didn't

Everything happened so fast.The sound of the bell woke me from sleep, I felt our bed move when Nick came down. I didn't know what time it was so I closed my eyes again, but the ensuing silence made me open them again and look at the digital clock beside my bed showing 2 p.m.The next second the sound of something breaking was heard from outside followed by Nick's voice shouting angrily. My heart seemed to jump in my chest cavity when the sound of glass being broken sounded again, in the middle of the darkness I got out of bed and put on my nightrobe."I will kill you if you touch her!" Nick's threat made me slow down my steps, with a beating heart my hand opened the bedroom door knob. Nick stood with his back to me with his body tense, He was only wearing his pajama trousers. But such a strong killing aura was emitting from his body that it made the fine hairs on my body bristle. He clenched his fists tightly and my breath caught when I saw broken glass and fresh blood flowing from h
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 44
(POV - Nicholas Shaw)They took me to one of the properties owned by the Alastair clan, several Volders and Leeches were already waiting for us. They were all wearing black coats that almost covered their faces. This clan is one of the oldest clans that still exists today so all the rituals are still performed in the ancient way, probably thousands of years old. The oldest leader is Dostov, nobody knows his exact age but my guess is he is 800 ... or maybe 1000 years old. In his entire life he has never turned someone into his Leech, he keeps his blood pure to this day.Maybe Greg is one of the strongest Volders right now, but when compared to Dostov ... No one knows for sure how strong Dostov really is, because none of his enemies managed to survive after meeting Dostov. All died before they could tell.The next leader is the second oldest Volder in this clan, Alastair. If the dead had been a member of this clan ... who was much younger and lacked power, perhaps they wouldn't have gath

"Nicholas ... "I opened my eyes again and looked at Dostov, everyone in the hall fell silent again waiting for what he would say next. "We accept your final request." He continued, this time his face looking friendlier, "It is an honor for me to fight the legendary Jack the Ripper."I looked into his clear blue eyes "But if I win, you have to let me go." I muttered under my breath. Murmurs filled the hall again followed by several angry sounding voices. Dostov raised a hand to stop the voices, "Of course, but you have to kill me first."The clan members moved to form a larger circle. "Nick." Greg whispered next to me, "Don't die." I turned to him and nodded slightly. Several people then brought Greg to kneel at the edge of the circle. Some of them whispered to each other enthusiastically, I don't think Dostov ever displayed his strength even in front of his own clan. Dostov stood up from his seat and untied my hands himself. He stretched out his hand to help me up. I stared at him fo

(POV - Gregory Shaw)I knew the moment Dostov managed to bite Nick, he wouldn't have another chance. Instantly five people from the clan stood around me to prevent me from rebelling. I screamed Nick's name and cursed until the only sound in the hall was mine."Dostova." Suddenly a female voice echoed through this hall, distracting the attention of most of these bastard clan members. I didn't take my eyes off Nick and Dostov, waiting for an opening to catch my guards off guard. "Nicholas Shaw is innocent." The voice spoke again. I know the owner of this voice. I raised my head quickly towards the source of the voice, my gaze met a pair of clear blue-gray eyes.Alice stood at the edge of the circle, she was wearing a short black dress and matching heels, her platinum blonde hair was tied back. A katana sling adorns her shoulder, her right hand carrying a slightly dirty travel bag. Her eyes shifted from me back to Dostov and Nick on the floor, it seemed Dostov didn't notice Alice's prese

(Eleanor's POV)"Should we catch up with them, Erik?" I asked while pacing around the fountain in front of Nicholas and Greg's house. Erik is standing not far from me. He hasn't changed his position at all for the last five hours. Even though Erik has asked me five times to wait inside, I can't just sit idly by and wait patiently as long as there is no news or certainty about Nick's fate."Alice asked me to make sure you weren't going anywhere until they returned, Miss Heather." Erik answered politely."But ... " I raised my hands to protest then dropped them again with a bit of resignation, "What if something happens-""Miss Heather, you know Mr. Shaw is the Volder who turned me into a Leech?"I replied with a small nod. A smile graced Erik's face before he continued, "If something happens to Mr. Shaw it will happen to me too.""You mean ... " I let my question hang in the air."If Mr. Shaw dies, I'm dead now too ... That's why Alice asked me to accompany you." he replied gently. Eri
My Boss Loves Me Chapter 48
When I woke up Nick was still by my side. I looked at his relaxed sleeping expression with a smile, a few strands of his hair fell to cover part of his face. Nick's hair had started to grow without me noticing it. Previously he had never been late for a haircut every two weeks. His jaw was also starting to darken due to the growing beard.My finger traced his thick eyebrows which were usually wrinkled seriously, slowly Nick's eyelids opened looking at me then a sleepy smile graced his handsome face. "Did you sleep well?" Nick asked in a hoarse voice then closed his eyes again."Yes." I replied while continuing to trace the outline of his face with my fingertips. Even though his eyes were closed, the smile on Nick's face widened even more. "Amused?" I asked, smiling too. This time the tip of my index finger traced his smiling lips.Suddenly his eyes opened wide and his hands grabbed my wrists and held them above my head, still bare chested Nick pushed me until my back was against the b
