NIKOLAI

The payment for this job was so tempting that I didn't give it a second thought. My sister was behind with her treatment due to her hospital bills, so when this job presented itself to me, I was overjoyed and thought it could have only been the messiah who brought it my way, knowing fully well that I was in dire need of money.

But right now, with how gloomy and grim everything is, I'm starting to think it's from the devil. This is not my first job having to bring something illegally into the city, but I don't understand why this particular job set me on edge. This is why I hate dealing with human beings. With contraband, it is always perfect.

No distractions. No talking. No questions asked. No deep blue eyes. No frightened voice.

I grit my teeth and shove my thoughts aside.

The floorboard creaks under my foot as I tiptoe toward the stairs. It is already night and below, moonlight streams through the dusty living room windows of the small two-story building, casti

  • Protecting The Heiress    Chapter 78

    NIKO POVFucking hell.How am I supposed to resist the urge to bend my boss over the bed and fuck her senseless? Fuck her until she forgets every single thing that’s making her anxious?It’s worse because I know, deep down, I wouldn’t have to fight her for it.Lia would let me have my way with her.She’d let me spread her out, let me ruin her. She’d choke on my cock, let me slide into her sweet, tight—I groan and roll my palm over my aching length. Just the thought of her, naked and trembling beneath me, is enough to make my breath turn ragged.I squeeze my cock through my pants and press down hard, trying to ease the relentless pulse of need.“Niko?”Her voice cuts through my thoughts like a blade.I jerk upright, my head snapping toward the bathroom door.She’s peeking out, only her face and a single bare shoulder visible. The rest of her is behind the door.“What?” My voice is strained.She doesn’t seem to notice.A small, innocent smile tugs at her lips. If she had any idea what

  • Protecting The Heiress    Chapter 77

    NIKO POVLia is hyperventilating.Her hands are trembling so violently it’s a wonder she can even keep them on her lap. Each breath she takes is swallow, and uneven, and comically too loud in the suffocating silence of the car. Through the dim glow of the dashboard lights, I catch the gleam of unshed tears clinging to her lashes. Her face is turned toward the window, desperate to hide them.Because Lia has been so upfront about not wanting my help. She’s made that painfully clear. Setting boundaries, keeping things professional, refusing to lean on me no matter what. And if I push too hard, if I make the wrong move now, she’ll shut me out completely.So I don’t jump the gun and reach for her.At least not yet.I don’t do anything in the car. I don’t take her hand like I want to. I don’t fumble around words of comfort that she’ll reject anyway. I just grip the steering wheel and keep driving, letting her think she’s fooling me, that I don’t see her falling apart right in front of me.B

    LIA POV“It’s not what it looks like.”“Okay.”I blink, caught off guard. “That’s it?”“Yeah.” “You’re not going to ask for details?”“Do I need to?”I stare at him, searching for doubt, for suspicion. There’s none. Just trust.Something in me stutters. Warmth surges in my chest, creeping into the cracks I’ve desperately tried to seal.I turn away from him, staring out at the open sea. The water stretches endlessly, its surface rippling beneath the hues of the dying sun. The boat rocks gently, but my stomach churns violently. I want to focus on the waves, on the sky, on anything but the way Nikolai’s presence seems to press into me is heavy and impossible to ignore.Beside me, I hear the rustling of fabric as he digs through the small bag he brought with him. I refuse to turn, refuse to let curiosity get the best of me, even as I catch a glimpse of something black in my peripheral visionNot when he pulls something out.Not when he moves closer.But the moment his hand brushes

  • Protecting The Heiress    Chapter 75

    LIA POVMy emotions swing violently from frustration so sharp it burns to fear so cold it numbs within seconds.Karl, my ex-husband, has released an interview about me. A full thirty-minute video interview mostly saying things that aren’t true.But the truth doesn’t matter.No one cares if it's true or completely fabricated. The damage is already spreading like wildfire. There’ve been several articles poking, and punching down. Corporate vultures don’t really care about the truth, just one slip up and everyone is ready to take you down.I should have seen this coming.Thing has been going well. Too well.The meticulous planning, the design sketches finally falling into place, the artisans who had been hesitant but were now willing to work with me. Everything for the luxury line was moving forward better than I dared hope.I’ve been working tirelessly, and somehow, against all odds, it was yielding results.That should have been my first warning.Because nothing good lasts. Not for me.

  • Protecting The Heiress    Chapter 74

    NIKOLAI POV“Noted boss.” His chuckles drifts through the phone. I can already hear the relief in your voice. “Let me hang up now. You seem to want to kill someone else at the end of the line.”I drop my hand down, shoving my phone back into my pocket. My eyes find Lia again because I can’t help myself. Thankfully, she’s alone now and is walking toward me.She settles on the seat opposite me, and another strode of silence settles between us like a heavy weight. Still not talking to me. still paying me no attention. In a normal job, this would have been professionally and I would have been thankful that my client isn’t trying to form any familiarity with him and is keeping in line. But this is Lia. I don’t want this from Lia. I don’t care about the line, or my boundaries, my sanity, or professionalism. I want her to disrupt every single one of them rightfully so.She pulls up her tab and starts strolling through it, going through work certainly. Before I can say word, Rick appears out

  • Protecting The Heiress    Chapter 73

    NIKOLAI POVI’m not much of a talker, so I like silence. I like the absence of conversation, the ease of being alone with my own thoughts. I like when people don’t interact with me, when I’m not involved in meaningless chatter. Silence is a relief. Always has been.But this silence, the one filling the space between Lia and me inside this boat, is anything but a relief.It’s suffocating.Lia and I haven’t exchanged more than a cold, obligatory “good morning.” No accidental brushes of conversation, no fleeting meaningless chatter that I despise so much. Just stiff acknowledgment and then nothing. And it’s driving me insane.I should prefer this. I should welcome the distance, but apparently, when it comes to Lia, silence isn’t something I can stomach. It’s not peaceful. It’s not easy. It’s a fucking wall that she’s built higher and thicker with every passing day.It’s been like for a week.A week of Lia ignoring me, acting like I don’t exist. She doesn’t talk to me anymore. She doesn’t
