The Crime Lord's Obsession chapter 23- The promise.
The clock on the wall ticked softly in the silent room. Isabella sat curled up on the couch in Nikolai’s private office, a sketchbook open on the table before her and a pencil held idly in her hand. For the past hour, she had been staring at the same half-finished dress design. She couldn't bring herself to concentrate anymore, her mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Nikolai was late again! It had been happening all week. He would drive her to the office before leaving, his voice low, barely a whisper promising to return soon. But 'soon' always became hours. Since he had warned her about walking around, she had always missed lunch. She had only taken lunch once since the beginning of the week, and even when he came back he didn't seem to care anymore. There was a tremendous change in his personality that even a blind person could see at a distance. He had failed to come home twice, and in those days he'd only send Roman to send her home very late in the night, like he had even forgo

The sleek black car slid into the underground parking lot of Regal Hospital. The moment it halted, Nikolai stepped out adjusting his jacket. Roman followed him a few steps behind blindly, a nervous sweat forming and dripping down his face. The hospital corridor was unusually quiet for that hour. Two bodyguards trailed Nikolai as he strode forward, their long strides echoing against the tiled floor. When they reached Dr Florence’s office, Roman moved ahead to knock, but Nikolai pushed the door open himself. The doctor, a man in his late fifties with sagging glasses flinched slightly at the sudden intrusion. He had been pacing behind his desk, a folder lying on the table before him. "Mr Volkov," she greeted. "Thank you for coming at such short notice." "You said it was about Rosa. What happened?" Nikolai asked inviting himself to the seat. "Five years ago, after the incident, we processed the remains brought in from the mall. You insisted on a private burial, but the official

Warning: R-18 content. Reader discretion is advised. A month had passed since that evening. Life with Nikolai had fallen into an intoxicating rhythm. Every morning, he would drive her to his private office downtown, his hand resting casually on the steering wheel, the other occasionally brushing against hers up to her just to see her blush. He made sure she ate, worked, rested, and stayed close. His office had an adjoining private suite. The first day, he caught her doodling on a napkin, and the next, he’d cleared out an entire room and brought in a drafting desk, sketching paper, and art supplies. "You can work here," he’d said, standing behind her with his hands in his pockets. "Until I’m done with my meetings." She had tried to protest but he silenced her with one of those looks, the kind that melted her into silence every time before stealing a kiss from her leaving her speechless. Now, a month later, she had grown used to being around him, the scent of his cologne when he
The Crime Lord's Obsession Chapter 20. Never leave my sight
Nikolai stood before the large mirror in his private suite, adjusting the cuffs of his black silk shirt. Behind him, a large white box lay open on the bed, inside was a deep sapphire-blue evening dress, its fabric flowing like midnight waves and delicate diamond cuts traced the neckline, designed to match the pendant he had bought her. When Isabella entered the room, she paused at the door, she hadn't seen it earlier. "What’s this?" she asked, her brows furrowing in curiosity, her big round eyes widening. Nikolai chuckled at her reaction and turned to her, his gaze softening. "A gift," he said simply. "You’re wearing it tonight." "What's happening tonight? Where are we going? she asked blinking. He smirked faintly, stepping closer and pulling her gently so that she fell into his embrace with a gasp. He slowly leaned and whispered in her ears, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine. "I'm taking you out on a date." Isabella's lips parted in surprise. "A date?" He nodd
The Crime Lord's Obsession chapter 19- Gone
Dozens of men in black suits and dark shades stood by the cemetery in silence, their heads bowed. None dared to speak or move. The only sound was the faint whistle of wind weaving through the trees. At the very front line stood the boss, his walking stick in his left hand supporting his bent back. His black overcoat brushed against his polished shoes as he stared at the coffin being lowered into the ground. The dark lenses of his sunglasses hid his eyes which had turned red from rage. He hadn’t said a single word since arriving. Not to the priest who stood in front of him or his men. Not even to the woman standing a few feet away, her sobs piercing through the silence like a blade. She was the late's woman. Leonardo’s wife.. She knelt beside the grave, clutching a small white flower so tightly that the petals tore between her fingers. Her hair clung to her damp cheeks as tears rolled down her face unrestrained. "Why did you leave me, Leo?" she cried, her voice breaking with
The Crime Lord's Obsession Chapter 18- Take responsibility
The scent of freshly brewed coffee and buttered toast filled the kitchen. Nikolai stood by the counter, sleeves rolled up, quietly arranging breakfast on a tray — eggs, fruit, and warm croissants. He paused on his tracks, last night replayed on his head- the taste of her lips, the sound of her voice when she called his name. The thought made his blood boil in his veins. It wasn’t supposed to happen to begin with but still, he couldn’t bring himself to regret it. Instead, he swore to cherish it. He placed the coffee cup down, exhaled deeply, and murmured under his breath, 'What have you done, Nikolai? You were only supposed to protect her, yet you've already slept with her twice!' ~~~~~~~~~~ Upstairs, Isabella stirred beneath the sheets. For a moment, she didn’t remember where she was until her eyes caught the faint mark on her wrist and the scent of his expensive cologne on the pillow beside her. Her heart raced in her chest. She sat up quickly, clutching the blanket to
