Isabella had barely placed her bag beside her new desk when she heard Nikolai’s voice through the glass office door.

"Roman," he said sharply, "bring me the quarterly financial reports, the investor summary, and the security overhaul plan. All of it."

Roman sighed loudly. "Sir that’s..."

"And have my secretary compile every pending email from the last month and categorise them. I want an executive summary in thirty minutes."

Roman nearly choked. Thirty minutes? That was work meant for two trained staff members for a whole day.

Isabella swallowed hard but pulled her chair closer. "It’s alright," she whispered. "I can do it."

Roman leaned closer to her. "No, you can’t. This man wants you to die."

But Isabella was already sorting through the stack of emails that had just appeared on her computer, colour-coding them, opening files at lightning speed. She might not have worked here before, but she knew how to handle this kind of pressure. Back in her college days she used t

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 65- Caught and misunderstood

    The rope slackened and the tension around Isabella's wrists loosened, the fibres sliding away from her skin when Rosa untied the final knot. But Rosa’s gun still stood aimed directly at her heart. "Get up," Rosa ordered. Isabella rose slowly, her legs trembling after what felt like hours of restraint. Her knees wobbled as she found her balance, her gaze fixed on the barrel pointed at her. Isabella’s throat was dry. "Rosa, I really can't do this..." "Shut up." Rosa stepped closer, her heels clicking sharply on the cold floor. "You do as I say or this bullet penetrates through your skull right away." Rosa took a step forward her lips curving into a cold, dangerous smile. "I should’ve asked my men to finish you that night at the gala." Her breath caught in her throat and her pulse stopped. The gala night…? Her mind scrambled and images of those filthy men, their hands grabbing at her flashed across her face. The terror, darkness and helplessness that had subdued her all

    Cold. That was the first thing Isabella felt. The cold, damp walls of the basement made Isabella shiver as she struggled against the restraints digging into her wrists. Her ankles were bound too, tight enough that every small movement scraped her skin raw. The floor was hard beneath her, smelling of dust and old concrete. Something cold, like water dropped on her arm making the hairs in her arm stand. Her eyelashes fluttered as she tried to move, but darkness swallowed everything because a heavy black cloth still covered her head. Her heart pounded harder in her chest, "Where am I…? How long have I been out?" she thought to herself trying to move but failing terribly. Suddenly, a door creaked open and footsteps followed. Light rays spilt through the fabric blinding her. The bag over her head was yanked off, and she flinched, squeezing her eyes shut against the sudden brightness. When she finally opened them, a shadowy figure stepped forward. 'Rosa!' Isabella’s breath froze

    Rosa stared at her reflection, lifting her chin slightly as she applied the final stroke of lipstick. She brushed a hand over her styled red-brown natural hair, smoothing it carefully. Nikolai had promised he would come home early tonight after coming home late last night. Everything was going on perfectly for her since the accident, it seemed like he had amnesia or something, because he was treating her way better than before. She adjusted the straps of her elegant dress, checking the angle of every curl and every line of makeup. She took her seduction spray and applied it just enough to make him go crazy at a glance. She wanted to look perfect before him. Just as she reached for her setting spray, her phone buzzed on the table. She smiled faintly thinking maybe it was him. But the moment she saw the caller ID, her expression hardened. She barked, angry at the sudden interruption. "What?" Her men spoke quickly on the other end unbothered by the blade of her tongue. "We loo

    Isabella woke with a start, her neck ached, her cheek was pressed against the hard surface of her desk, and her fingers were still curled around a pen that had long stopped moving. She blinked herself awake, confusion fogging her mind. What time…? Her eyes darted to the small clock on the wall. 6:09 AM! Her heart thumped in her chest rapidly. She straightened quickly but then froze, her breath caught in her throat as Nikolai’s jacket fell from her shoulders. Had he covered her? She stared at it, her fingers caressing the fur as she lifted it over her face, feeling its scent. The dark fabric and the faint scent of cedar, and his unmistakable expensive cologne warmed her heart Her hands trembled slightly at the thought that Nikolai was there and he put the jacket on her. The realisation made heat rush to her face flush, a blush creeping up her face. She squeezed her eyes shut, reprimanding herself. No. Don’t do this. Don’t hope for what ain't there. A knock on the door made

    "Are you sure about that? Working while pregnant is risky!""Please, just this once."Roman inhaled slowly as he stood outside Nikolai’s office door, psyching himself up. This madness was dangerous but Isabella’s pale, tear-streaked face from the hospital bed flashed in his mind. The desperation in her voice when she whispered, "Help me be close to him, Roman please." So here he was walking straight into the lion’s den. Behind him, Isabella followed silently, her fingers trembling against the folder she held. Her body still felt fragile, and her bump was not visible at a single glance. She was going to pester him until he remembered her. Roman knocked once and pushed the office door open. Nikolai was standing behind his desk, his sleeves folded up, his jaw sharp and his aura very dangerous in the room. He didn’t even look up at first. "Sir," Roman started too quickly, as if afraid he’d lose his courage. "This is your new secretary. I’ll start arranging her desk now. I’ve inte
