Sylvia

⟿❂⟾

I fucking hate change. No matter how good it is.

Three days since we moved, three days since Nikolai disappeared from my room like he’d never existed. Three days, and he was now just a ghost, a shadow haunting the corners of my thoughts. I barely knew him, hell, I didn’t know him, but somehow my life now practically revolved around him.

He was in these walls, his hands were on me when I shut my eyes, and his lips were in my ears when I listened just enough, saying the dirtiest things. And that was really terrible, because I was cheating. On God, on my faith, and on my body.

“Your body is the temple of God.”

I felt so seen that sometimes I just cringe.

It was that feeling of someone watching you. When your skin prickles, and the back of your neck feels cold, but no one’s there. Yeah, that. Only this time, I swear I could feel eyes on me—no matter how empty the space was.

Maybe I should’ve expected it. I mean, you’d know that men like him don’t linger and ce

    Chapter 13 ⟿❂⟾ Nikolai ⟿❂⟾ I needed something to do. So I came downstairs for coffee—something strong to burn the mess in my head. But as soon as I walked into the parlour, I realized I wasn’t alone. Hand on my gun, I quietly made my way to the sitting room. Sure enough, there they were. Manuel and the rest of the guys were sprawled out lazily. Feet up, vodka bottles scattered, cigarette smoke curling toward the ceiling in lazy spirals. Cards lay spread across the table, a game in progress, though from the looks of it, they were just killing time the only way they knew how. None of us wanted to be here, but no one was leaving unless I said so. I took a slow sip of my coffee, adjusted the gun at my waist, then cleared my throat. They all snapped their heads toward me. Then, almost by some unspoken command, they shot to their feet like schoolboys caught screwing around in class. The last time I caught them playing cards, Stacy had been in the mix—Vincenzo’s vixen, t

    Chapter 14 ⟿❂⟾ Nikolai ⟿❂⟾ I hate the smell of new wood. Or new shit in general—except pussy. I leaned against the bar in the half-finished club, too tired to even reach for a drink. For the last week, I’d been inhaling fresh wood, sawdust, and lingering cigar smoke so much that I made a mental note to book an appointment with the family doctor to check if my lungs were still intact. We were setting up a base here in Albany, something solid. Permanent. A place to move product, handle meetings, and make money. If I was going to be stuck in this city for the next few months, I needed an actual reason—besides the more obvious one: pussy. The place wasn’t ready yet—far from it. No neon lights, no polished floors, and it still smelled like a fucking lumberyard. Another thing to handle. “Nacho,” I called out, flicking a glance at the broad-shouldered man standing near the entrance. “Get that guy to fix the damn stench of this place.” “Boss?” Nacho was our newly recruited

    Chapter 15 ⟿❂⟾ Sylvia ⟿❂⟾ “Can you just hold still for a second, sweetie?” I cooed in a very soft voice. I moved over and knelt beside a squirming little boy, his wide eyes full of panic. “It’s just for a minute.” “I don’t want it, Sylvia!” he whined, kicking his legs in protest. I sighed, then looked up at Sister Anne, who was standing a few feet away, watching me with a knowing expression. “How do you make it look so easy with them?” She chuckled, then pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “It’s all about distraction. Kids don’t like needles, but they love sweets.” I raised an eyebrow. “Sweets? Are you bribing them with candy now?” Sister Anne winked. “If it works, I don’t see the problem. What do you think?” The little boy gave me a frantic look, still clutching his arm tightly. “Please, no vaccine!” “Alright, alright,” I let out a breath, then reached into my pocket and pulled out a lollipop, the colorful wrapper caught the light—and the boy’s eyes, apparently.

    Chapter 16 ⟿❂⟾ Sylvia ⟿❂⟾ The soft hum of the heater filled the bathroom, but the chill still clung to my skin like a second layer. I rubbed my arms, standing in front of the big mirror nailed to the wall, and gave myself a long, hard look. My gaze landed on the woman staring back at me. I blinked. She blinked. I tilted my head. She did the same. But something felt… wrong. Off. Like the person in the glass was someone I was meeting for the first time. My fingers rose, brushing my cheek, tracing the hollow beneath my eyes, the curve of my lips. “Who the hell are you?” I whispered to the reflection. Silence. The question echoed inside me, hollow and unanswered. My skin felt too tight, my body unfamiliar. It was absurd—I was me. But… who was me? I pressed my palm against the cold glass, half-expecting it to ripple like water. “How do I not know you?” I said softly. The harder I tried to remember myself—myself—the more the memories slipped like sand through my fingers. There wa

    Hey everyone, I’m so sorry for the delayed updates. Unfortunately, my health didn’t improve as expected, and I’ve been advised to take some time off to rest and finish my medications.

I know, I miss Nikolai and Sylvia as well. 🥺 Thank you for sticking with me and for understanding. Take care of yourselves too. xoxo 💋

    Chapter 17 ⟿❂⟾ Sylvia ⟿❂⟾ “Teach me how to sin?” The words felt strange on my tongue, like reciting a verse that wasn’t in the Bible. “I’m a nun.” I even made the sign of the cross for good measure. But then—oh, Lord forgive me—my gaze traitorously dropped to his lips. “You’re a nun in the making.” Nikolai’s grin was pure wickedness, I could have sworn that was the same kind of smirk that got Eve into trouble. “I could show you that there are much better things in this life than depriving that sweet pu—” “You will not blaspheme in my presence, Nikolai!” I cut him off, nearly making the sign of the cross again just to be safe. He had the audacity to roll his eyes. “Alright, Sister.” The way he said it made me feel like I’d just scolded a schoolboy, but then his gaze dragged down, first to my bare shoulders, then lower, to the towel I was clutching like a lifeline. A sinful smirk touched his lips. “I could take you to the promised land in those novels you sneak under

    Chapter 18 ⟿❂⟾ Sylvia ⟿❂⟾ There’s something fundamentally wrong with this man. I started to push him away because my senses were slowly coming back and my cheeks were doing a good job betraying my embarrassment when my towel chose that exact moment to betray me—like Eve's apple, tempting and treacherous. But before it could complete its sinful descent, Nikolai's hand shot out, catching it just below my cleavage. My breath hitched when his knuckles involuntarily brushed against the very sensitive, hardened flesh of my nipples. "You're not a gentleman," I pointed out, just to distract him from the fact that his fingers made my pulse skip like a guilty altar boy. He frowned, amusement dancing in his dark eyes. "How'd you figure that out? Because I'm a Made Man?" Somehow, even through my mortification and the fact that I was one slip of cotton away from giving him an anatomy lesson that definitely wasn't in the Bible, I laughed. "You're in a shelter, snuck into a nun's room, a

    Chapter 19 ⟿❂⟾ Nikolai ⟿❂⟾ Eclipse was a temple of everything I despised. The bass pounded through my bones like artillery fire, adding to the list of reasons why I avoided these places. The half-dressed women were already winking their heavily painted brows at me, gesturing for me with their asses and twirling their tongues over their red lips like vampires. Fucking shameless bitches. Even after a scalding shower back at my place, I could still smell her on my skin. Still taste her. The memory of Sylvia pressed against that wall made my grip tighten on the leather-bound rail as I ascended to the VIP section. Fuck, I’d barely stopped myself from going back there, from showing her exactly what salvation could feel like when you weren’t afraid to reach for it. “You look like you’re either about to kill someone or get laid,” Luigi commented as I approached our pre-booked corner booth. “Okay, possibly both.” I shot him a look that would have made smarter men shut up.

That was the only way to leave without taking a shot myself, taking down the biggest threat. One bullet caught the pockmarked bastard in the throat, the other missing Kaine as he scrambled for cover. The pockmarked man collapsed, gurgling blood onto the concrete floor.But I wasn't focused on him. I rushed to the window, my mind calculating possibilities in cold, rapid-fire succession. "Oren!" I roared into my comm. "South side! Deploy the net! NOW!"I'd planned for this. Not specifically this, but something like it. When you've been in this business as long as I have, you learn to anticipate the worst-case scenarios.Fifteen floors.

  • Nikolai’s Tainted Nun    Chapter 79~ A Lot

    Chapter 79⟿❂⟾Sylvia⟿❂⟾For some reason, I was very nervous today. Luigi had driven me here in relative silence, his eyes occasionally flicking to mine in the rearview mirror with an expression I couldn't quite read. Concern? Fear? Whatever it was, he kept it to himself."I'll wait outside," Luigi said as we approached the entrance to the women's health clinic. "Nikolai instructed me to stay close, but..." he trailed off, clearly uncomfortable with the nature of my appointment."It's fine," I assured him. "I shouldn't be long."The waiting room was half-full, women of various ages flipping through outdated magazines or staring at their phones. I approached the reception desk and gave my name in a low voice."Ah, yes, Miss Sylvia," the receptionist said, typing something into her computer. "First time visit for contraceptive consultation, correct?"I nodded, feeling heat rise to my cheeks. This whole situation was weirdly embarrassing—discussing birth control options when I was supp

    Trigger Warning⚠️ Chapter 78⟿❂⟾Nikolai⟿❂⟾Inside the building was a ghost town of half-demolished office spaces. Exposed wiring hung from the ceiling like dead vines. The floor was littered with construction debris, and plastic sheeting waved gently in the air from the building's struggling ventilation system.I moved silently up the stairs, with the tactical gear Russel provided making me practically invisible. The signal jammer was active in my pocket, blocking any remote detonations within range. My earpiece remained silent. I'd instructed Oren and his team to maintain radio silence unless absolutely necessary.According to thermal imaging, there should have been twelve bodies on this floor. So far, I'd counted none.Of course, I wasn’t expecting them to be completely stupid and let everything go according to my plan, so I knew something was off. The silence was too complete, the emptiness too perfect.I rounded a corner into what had once been a conference room and froze.A

    Chapter 77⟿❂⟾Nikolai⟿❂⟾The kid looked up, and her eyes widened at the sight of me. There was surprise there, certainly, but not the relief I would expect from a child who had called me in terror just hours before."Mr. Gianni?" she said, her voice small but steady.I studied her carefully. No visible signs of distress or injury. Her hair was neatly braided, her clothes clean. She looked exactly like a child who had been sitting quietly, reading."Hello, Maeve," I said gently. "How are you?"She glanced at Mother Beatrice, then back to me. "I'm fine. Just doing my readings.""She has quite a bit of scripture to review," Mother Beatrice interjected. "Part of her penance."I crouched down to Maeve's eye level. "I got a call from you this morning. You sounded frightened."The girl's brow furrowed in what appeared to be genuine confusion. "I didn't call you, Mr. Gianni.""You can talk to me, Kid. Alright?"She shook her head. "We're not allowed phones here."I reached into my pocket a

    Chapter 76⟿❂⟾Nikolai⟿❂⟾"Too late. Your dog is as demanding as you are.” Sylvia's text lit up my phone as I boarded the private jet.I stared at the message for a moment, fingers hovering over the keyboard. Every instinct told me to call her, to hear her voice. But if I did, she would hear something in mine—the fury, and I couldn't risk that. "She knows quality when she sees it." I typed back, keeping it brief and playful. “Like her master."She must have slept off after that. As the jet prepared for takeoff, I leaned my head back against the leather seat and closed my eyes. I replayed the last call with my latest enemy in my mind. His stupid cruel voice and the sound of Maeve in the background. The small, frightened whimper that told me she was alive. How the fuck could anyone be so cruel as to scare a kid that like that?I could have gone straight to Manhattan. That was what they expected. Me rushing blindly toward the coordinates they would inevitably send, walking right into

    Chapter 75⟿❂⟾Sylvia⟿❂⟾Mrs. Alvarez turned out to be a godsend. By early afternoon, we'd ordered enough essentials to get me through a week—simple tops, two pairs of jeans, underwear, toiletries, and a pair of comfortable shoes. She didn't even blink when I gave her Nikolai's credit card information that I'd memorized from watching him use it."Mr. Gianni would have my head if I let his guest go without necessities," she said matter-of-factly when I expressed concern about the cost.We spent the day cooking, with Mrs. Alvarez sharing stories about her family—three grown children and five grandchildren—while carefully avoiding any mention of Nikolai beyond basic household preferences. Professional discretion, I realized. She knew her boundaries.As evening approached, she packaged half the lasagna in containers for the freezer."Luigi prefers protein shakes and grilled chicken," she explained. "But you should have proper food. Just heat this at 350 for twenty minutes when you're h

  • Nikolai’s Tainted Nun    Chapter 74~ Mutual Acquaintance

    Chapter 74 ⟿❂⟾ Sylvia ⟿❂⟾ I woke to sunlight and emptiness. For a moment, disorientation gripped me as I blinked at unfamiliar surroundings. This was certainly not the same room I slept in yesterday or the night before, and it sure as hell was nothing close to my room at the convent. Then memories of the night before and my life for the last three months rushed back: I left the convent, what we did at the club, the car, Nikolai... Heat flooded my cheeks as I remembered the way I'd behaved, the wanton abandon with which I'd given myself to him. The risks we'd taken. My hand drifted unconsciously to my stomach, though I knew it was too soon for any physical manifestation of our recklessness. The bed beside me was empty, the sheets cool to the touch. How long had I been alone? I pushed myself up against the headboard, wincing at the soreness between my thighs. That was a very pleasant reminder of our sins. A glass of water sat on the nightstand, alongside two small pills and a h

    Chapter 73 ⟿❂⟾ Nikolai ⟿❂⟾ I woke before dawn, as I always did. Years of discipline had trained my body to need only five hours of sleep, and even with Sylvia warm against me, that hadn't changed. What had changed was my reluctance to leave the bed. She was curled against me like a cat, one hand splayed across my chest, her breathing deep and even. My t-shirt had ridden up during the night, exposing the curve of her hip and the length of her legs. In sleep, her face held none of the guarded wariness that sometimes crept into her expression when she thought I wasn't looking. My fingers caressed her back until they reached her neck, where the mark there burned against her skin like a brand. A crescent moon. The only thing I was very sure of right now after filtering the whole jargon of religious bullshit Luigi gathered was the fact that it was certainly not a birthmark, but a scar—deliberately placed. I allowed myself five more minutes of this strange peace before careful

  • Nikolai’s Tainted Nun    Chapter 72~ Both Sides

    Chapter 72 ⟿❂⟾ Nikolai ⟿❂⟾ There was something surreal about watching her sleep against my shoulder. After the raw, primal sex in the back of my car, the way she'd given herself to me completely, without reservation, she now looked impossibly innocent again. Her face relaxed in slumber, she could have been a painting of a sleeping angel, if not for the purple marks blooming on her throat and the disheveled state of her hair. The contradiction she embodied continued to fascinate me. Virgin and temptress. Innocent and wanton. Sacred and profane. I'd had countless women over the years, but none had captivated me the way she did, none had made me break my own rules. Like tonight, with the condom. I ran a hand over my face, suppressing a groan. What the hell had I been thinking? I prided myself on control, on discipline, on never taking unnecessary risks. Yet one pleading look from those doe eyes, and I'd thrown caution to the wind. She stirred against me, mumbling something inco
