She expected him to be shocked then rushed forward, cradled her and whispered happily that she had made him the happiest man in the universe... Instead, he stared at her as if she were a stranger speaking a foreign language. Only a cold, unreadable silence as if he hadn't understood what she had just said. "Nikolai, didn't you hear me. I said I'm pregnant!" Imelda stood frozen behind Nikolai, her fingers clutching her apron. She was silently praying that Nikolai wouldn’t fall for this lie. And the way he looked at Rosa now… Yes, he wasn’t swallowing it. Finally, he spoke, his voice cold. "Then," he said quietly, "we will run a test." "What?" Rosa’s smile cracked. "What test?" she asked quickly in disbelief. "Nikolai… you don’t believe me?" "I believe in facts," he replied, stepping past her. "Prepare yourself, we’re going to the doctor, now." Rosa’s heart plummeted and her thr
The gates of the West Villa creaked open, and Nikolai felt a strange shiver crawl down his spine. He hadn’t set foot here since the accident. The villa felt colder than he remembered and the silence was too heavy like he was walking into a life that technically belonged to him, yet felt foreign in every corner. Rosa walked in ahead of him, her heels echoing against the marble tiles. "Finally," she breathed, taking on the serene expensive house. Nikolai's eyes scanned the hallways as fragmented memory crawled up in his head. When he entered his bedroom, he paused. His gaze swept across the neatly arranged space… until it landed in the tall walk-in closet. He pushed the door open, and his brows furrowed together sharply. His suits didn't feel familiar, they were so unlike him. Instead of his usual all black, there were navy ones, deep forest green, and even a white one. A white suit for him, that felt like a joke and he felt something twist inside his chest without knowing why. H
"Understood boss. I'll handle him soon. He hasn't suspected a thing, yet. I'll bring him to you then you can torture him, just like how he did to your son." Isabella's heart hammered so loudly she feared Rosa would hear it. When Rosa’s heels finally faded away down the corridor, she slumped against the wall, sliding down until she was curled on the cold tile floor. "Could she be talking about Nikolai," Isabella thought as a flash of the other night crossed his mind. "But he killed my husband," she whispered and laughed like a maniac. "And you took Nikolai from me, and my crown too, during the gala, so I’ll kill you, then later I'll kill your Nikolai too." Isabella's heart thundered rapidly in her chest as realisation hit her. She stood at the stall, conflicted, her heart screaming at her that she should leave, Nikolai would never warm up to her, but another part of her begged her to stay and protect him from Rosa's evil plan "Oh my god. What is she planning?" she murmured,
Isabella lifted her gaze and cursed under her breath. Not again! She was drained to start another drama. Rosa stood in the doorway, smiling like she owned the entire building, dressed in an elegant white dress that clung to her curves, her hair cascading in perfect curls, flawless makeup … and lips curled into a sickeningly sweet smile. Her red lipstick shone brightly in the morning sun and her perfume filled the air as if she had swum in its pool. Her heels clicked as she stepped inside, tilting her head in victory. "Good morning, Isabella," she said sweetly, clasping her purse in both hands like a queen. "Oh… you look drained. Rough night, huh?" She placed a perfectly manicured hand on the back of one of the chairs and leaned forward, her voice dripping honeyed poison. Isabella forced herself to stand and forced her lips into a polite shape. "Yes, Miss Rosa, this floor is only for the executive, it's out of bounds," she whispered. "Can I help you with anything?" Rosa smil
The boss sat behind his desk, and a pile of unattended documents stared at him. He grabbed a pen twisting it around his fingers, his eyes locked on the wall. A glass of untouched whiskey stood on the table, but he didn't feel like taking a sip from the uneasiness that had taken root in his heart si
City X - 6:30 am. The sound of chattering and car honks outside pulled Nikolai back to consciousness. His head throbbed painfully. He groaned and pushed himself up from the couch in his private penthouse. He rubbed his temple, trying to piece together the blurred fragments of last night in the c
Nikolai drove silently through the night to the shore. He took his personal jet for a flight across the island to a nightclub in the nearest city. He ordered several bottles of whiskey and sat alone in the velvet booth at the far end of the room. A half-empty glass of whiskey rested in front of him.
Warning: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VIOLENCE "Sir, the man we captured is tied up in the upper warehouse. Would you like to interrogate him?" Roman said, standing at the door of Nikolai’s office. Nikolai glanced up, his expression unreadable. "You didn’t knock." Roman smiled sheepishly and rubbed
