Elias’s POV

I didn’t hear him come in.

One minute I was lying back on the couch, staring at the ceiling and trying not to think too hard, and the next I sensed movement near the door.

I sat up slightly.

Nikolai stood there, jacket off now, sleeves rolled once, looking annoyingly composed for someone who had apparently spent hours in meetings.

“You’re back,” I said.

“Yes.”

I glanced at the untouched snacks still spread across the table. “Your people almost fed me like I was in recovery.”

    “I do not like him!”My voice echoed through the apartment while Bella’s laughter rang from the hallway like she had just won some championship.“You smiled in your sleep!” she yelled back.“That proves nothing!”“It proves everything!”I grabbed the nearest pillow and stormed out of the room, only to find her already in the kitchen, standing behind the counter like it was a protective barrier.“You’re dramatic,” she said, holding up a chip.“You’re annoying.”“You’re blushing.”“I am not.”“You are.”I threw the pillow at her.She ducked, laughing so hard she nearly dropped the bowl in her hand.“This is why no one tells you anything,” I muttered, walking past her to the sink.“No, people don’t tell me things because I figure them out first,” she said proudly.I turned on the tap and splashed water on my face, hoping it would wake me up enough to deal with her.It didn’t.When I looked up into the small mirror near the wall, I paused.I did look tired.Not just tired.Different.Like

    Elias’s POVI didn’t hear him come in.One minute I was lying back on the couch, staring at the ceiling and trying not to think too hard, and the next I sensed movement near the door.I sat up slightly.Nikolai stood there, jacket off now, sleeves rolled once, looking annoyingly composed for someone who had apparently spent hours in meetings.“You’re back,” I said.“Yes.”I glanced at the untouched snacks still spread across the table. “Your people almost fed me like I was in recovery.”“That was the point.”I frowned. “What point?”“You hadn’t eaten properly.”I opened my mouth to argue, then stopped.Because annoyingly He was right.He walked closer, picking up his keys from the table.“Come,” he said.I blinked. “Come where?”“I’m taking you home.”That caught me off guard.I stared at him for a second, waiting for the catch.“There’s no dramatic condition attached to that?” I asked.“No.”“No speech about staying where you can protect me?”“Not tonight.”I narrowed my eyes. “You’r

    I didn’t hang up.After everything I had just told Bella, neither of us felt like ending the call. There was too much going on, too much unsaid, and somehow hearing her voice made everything feel less… insane.“Put it on video,” she said suddenly.“Why?”“I need to see your face. You sound like you’re in a hostage situation.”I scoffed lightly. “I’m not in a hostage situation.”“Then prove it.”I hesitated for a second, then switched to video.Her face popped up immediately, and for a moment, everything else faded.Bella looked the same.Same expressive eyes, same messy hair like she hadn’t bothered fixing it, same energy that somehow filled the screen even through a phone.But there was something else too.Relief.“You look fine,” she said, narrowing her eyes slightly. “Annoying, but fine.”“You look stressed,” I replied.“Because I am,” she said. “You disappeared with a walking red flag.”I laughed under my breath. “That’s one way to describe him.”Bella leaned closer to her screen.

    We were still too close.The air between us hadn’t settled yet, not after what just happened. My thoughts were still scattered, my breathing not fully steady, and Nikolai hadn’t stepped back far enough to make it feel normal again.Then—A knock.We both straightened almost instantly, like whatever had just happened had been pushed aside without being acknowledged.“Come in,” Nikolai said, his voice already back to that calm, unreadable tone.The door opened.A guy stepped in, and for a second, I just stared.He looked… good. Not in an over-the-top way, just naturally put together. Clean, sharp features, confident posture, the kind of presence that made it obvious he belonged here.“Sir, the meeting is in twenty minutes,” he said.Nikolai nodded once. “Prepare everything.”“Yes, sir.”They started talking.Fast. Too fast.Business terms, names, numbers, things that clearly mattered but made absolutely no sense to me. I stood there for a few seconds trying to follow, then gave up.I sl

    I should have walked away.That thought came first, sharp and clear, the moment the silence between us shifted into something heavier. The room still hummed softly with the glow of screens, but I wasn’t looking at them anymore.I was looking at him.Nikolai didn’t move at first. He just stood there, close enough now that I could feel it again, that quiet pressure he carried, like the air adjusted around him without permission.“You’re thinking too much,” he said.“That’s because none of this makes sense,” I replied.“It doesn’t have to.”“That’s easy for you to say.”He stepped closer.Not sudden. Not rushed.My body tensed before I could stop it, my mind catching up a second too late.“What are you doing?” I asked, my voice lower now.He didn’t answer immediately.His gaze dropped briefly to my lips, then back to my eyes.And that—That was enough to make my breath catch.“You keep fighting it,” he said quietly.“Fighting what?” I asked, though I already knew.“This,” he replied.I s

    I tried to sit still.It didn’t work.The silence in the room wasn’t peaceful; it pressed in from all sides, Every corner looked untouched, like no one actually lived here, like it only existed when needed. Even the air felt suffocating.After a while, I gave up pretending I could relax.I stood, walked to the door, paused for a second, then opened it.No alarms. No guards rushing in. Just a quiet hallway stretching out in both directions, polished floors reflecting the overhead lights. The place felt expensive in a way that didn’t need to prove it.I stepped out.If Nikolai really thought I wouldn’t go anywhere, then maybe he knew something I didn’t. Or maybe he just didn’t care enough to stop me.Either way, I wasn’t staying in that room like I was waiting for permission to breathe.I moved slowly at first, taking in the layout. Offices lined the corridor, most of them glass-walled. People worked behind desks, focused, efficient. No loud conversations, no wasted movement.And the mo

    I’ve been staring at my phone screen for the last twenty minutes like it owes me money.No call from Elias.No text.Nothing.He’d promised he’d call once he finished unpacking. That was two hours ago. I kept refreshing the messages app, then locking the screen, then unlocking it again like the not

    The Lisbon apartment had one good feature: the balcony overlooked a narrow street where people actually lived. Not tourists. Not expats. Real people—old women hanging laundry at dawn, kids kicking a deflated soccer ball until it rolled into the gutter, a guy in a stained apron smoking while he swep
