Author's POV.

They hated the way this had to be done but reluctantly decided to take Sofia with them. Nikolai and Nial had arrived at her cabin an hour ago, finding Nadei in a dazed state as he gazed down at her.

Their eyes widening, mouths gaping like fish out of the water, hearts almost jumping out of their chests. The two brothers inspected the small girl noticing everything and nothing about her.

She was...perfect.

They couldn't get over her beauty and kindness as Nadei was more than happy to tell them about how sweet she was while helping him. And they noted the change in his face as he talked about her like he had known her for years, the life in his eyes had finally returned and she was the cause of it.

The pretty little angel was the reason why their older brother was smiling and they wanted that too.

However, the hopefullness was overshadowed by the huge amount of guilt gnawing at their hearts. The only thing on their mind was how Sofia was going react at their selfish act of taking her.

12 hours later.

1:37AM

Moscow, Russia.

When the trio landed in their country they decided to let their staff in their second and smallest mansion know and prepare something for them and Sofia.

Since they were quite famished from the flight and were expecting their angel to be as well.

Once the trio stepped out of the car they were greeted by one of their driver that was waiting by their prerequested car to take them to their home.

The driver was quite flabbergasted and curious as his masters never brought women to their properties but decided to keep it safe and mind his business.

And a few minutes later the trio saw their grand and vast black and white themed mansion's gates coming into view.

They couldn't help but be excited to have their queen with them after thirty one years of feeling empty and absolutely lonely.

They couldn't wait to make new memories with Sofia in their lives to be there for them and her at times of need.

Surely they've had their fair share of women to satisfy their carnal desires but they were also craving, wanting love, zeal and affection that they were deprived of as children even from their cold parents and couldn't find it in the women they had been with before. Since all they wanted from the trio was their wealth and status.

The triples have tried to fill that void by drowning themselves in work, booze and one night stands but all of that changed the second they saw the little angel that's sleeping soundly in their arms.

She made them feel things.

Made them crave and desperately need her even without knowing anything besides her name and where she lived-used to live.

The trio wouldn't be able to even explain the joy and glee they were feeling when they saw her.

They know that it was clichè of them to say or even think of something like this, but they felt tingles and zips of electricity running down their hands when they softly caressed her soft lone mane and tender skin.

And they strived for more and more of Sofia's warm and delicate touch.

So after their driver got inside the mansion gates he parked the car in its designated place and hurriedly opened the doors of his masters'.

The fifty-year-old man was stunned at how the trio were looking affectionately at the young beautiful girl that his master-Nial was carrying in his arms tenderly and protectively to not let any harm befall her.

Striding confidently with their heads held high and small smiles adorned on their usually stoic and cold faces.

The maids and butlers that worked for the trio couldn't help but quietly gasp at the sight.

Their masters' brought a woman- no, a girl home. Never had they seen the triplets bring their lovers back to their home.

So who is the small girl in the young Alexeyev brother's arms?

Subsequently, the trio went to their respective rooms on the second floor, they decided that Nial should place the little angel in one of the guest bedrooms.

Not scare her by waking up in a foreign manly looking room more than she'd be when awake in a place she already doesn't know of.

So much for not frightening her, huh?

Putting her on the off-white bed sheets of the guest bedroom Nial made sure to cover Sofia's small frame with a fluffy baby pink blanket.

Then, he went to his room to have a much need shower, instructing the head maid, Anne, to find his Angel some clothes that would fit her and get her out of her uncomfortable ones.

Cleaning themselves in their rooms, the trio head down the stairs to their dining area to satiate their hunger that the small snacks on their private plane couldn't.

Then, make sure that Sofia's portion of food was to be fixed so that she'll have access to it when she wakes up.

The trio couldn't help but want to see Sofia. They were getting too attached to her and that scared them.

It scared them how much a person can affect them.

How much a mere girl made their stone-cold hearts beat and how they were willing to destroy anything in their wake if a single hair on her head was to be touched.

And they barely even knew her.

It scared them to no end.

Two hours later.

Sofia.

Yawning, I slowly rubbed the tiredness out of my eyes, my vision coming out blurry and my head slightly throbbing with an upcoming headache for some reason.

I stepped out of bed, standing as I yawned loudly. Wait, what? My eyes widened opening up to be greeted by a huge-three time bigger than my small room in my cabin- kind of room.

I looked around disoriented and scared of the unknown place I was in trying to remember the last thing that had happened.

Nadei.

I started remembering and chiding myself over my stupid reactions and dumb, irresponsible behaviour around the stunningly gorgeous man just because of the affection and safety he showered me with.

Freaking hell I was so stupid.

Who the hell fell asleep with a possibly gorgeous as hell serial killer?

This bitch right here.

And who was dumb enough to tell someone they did not know well where they lived?

Once again, this bitch right here.

Gods, I wanted to smack some common sense into myself.

I realized that I was overthinking again instead of figuring out where I am or who got me here, but I sighed out of relief when I concluded that it wasn't them that got to me.

If it were then, they wouldn't have put me in such a nice room. They were always heartless selfish monsters.

Ones that haunted my dreams.

But who knew what kind of a monster has taken me now? I gulped, worriedly, my fear rising a notch higher.

Trying to calm myself down from having a panic attack was a lot to handle despite the fact that I was stoically standing at the edge of the bed, my heart was struggling to keep up with my racing thoughts.

I looked around admiringly yet sceptically at the beautiful room, I didn't realize when an older and kind-looking woman entered the room.

My head towards her, wary of her presence. I was the one to not trust appearances so much but look at me now.

I slowly took a step back just to have my back pressed against the wall and for the woman to take a step back herself because she clearly saw the terrified and shocked look on my face.

"Who are y-you?" I questioned the woman, defiance twisted around my voice.

"Fear not dear, Anne is my name and I'm the head maid of this mansion, Master Nadei aske-" upon hearing the lady say the familiar name, I scrunched my brows in a confused manner, my confusion rising over my fear.

Hold up, Rewind. What did she just say?

Eyes wide as saucers and mouth gaping, "Erm what did you say about Nadei? Is he okay? Where is he? And where am I? How did I get here?" I asked, breathless.

The woman chuckled animatedly and anger boiled in my veins. I was losing my Skittles over here and this lady was amused at my state.

"Slow down, дорогой (dear) said that master Nadei asked me to change you. To answer your second question, Yes, he is okay and currently resting in his room."

She looked away for a second, sighing, "As for your last questions, you're in Russia, precisely, Moscow. The masters are the ones that brought you here, дорогой," Anne's Russian accent prominently had me spiralling as an expectant look in her kind eyes made my walls crumble with fear.

Too much information.

My brain froze and conjured even more questions. What does she mean by Nadei resting in his room, weren't we just in my cabin? And who are these masters? Clearly, Nadei was one of them but who are the others and why would they take me from my home to a foreign country without my consent?

Why would they even think that this is okay?

Oh, no. No, no, not again.

I felt my hands shaking and tears started to well in my eyes as I glimpsed at her. Beholding her sympathetic gaze with my broken, terrified eyes hoping to get some sort of help before whatever this shit storm was, escalated.

Gathering what was left of my self-control and forcing out a harsh unsteady breath, "W-who are these m-masters you're t-talking about?''

And as if staged the door suddenly opened to reveal three different men. My eyes almost bulged out of their sockets from the beautiful specimen.

The time seemed to have stopped around me.

Their tight fitted t-shirts altering their bulging muscles and veiny arms that almost, almost made me drool, their different coloured sweatpants' low on their lean waists enhanced the comfy but hot look they had going on.

Focus, Sofia.

I peeked at the three of them to notice the familiar jade green eyes that had me mesmerized for a second but before I got a chance to speak a word. The hazel eyed Greek god standing to Nadei's left, reached out a hand for me to take.

"Nice to officially meet you, sweetheart, I'm Nikolai, the most handsome and smartest brother that you so happened to have talked on the phone with," he introduced, a smile that had a dimple on his right cheek make an appearance.

My knees felt like jelly at the look of absolute adoration that lit up his entire face. On the other hand, I was scared and was panicking of why I had helped anyone in the first place.

I wouldn't have been here if I didn't.

I was trying to shy away from their intense gazes, scared and feeling some kind of way at being the one getting all their attention. Like a scared lamb.

"Sure keep telling yourself that prick," hissed the brown eyed man that I had yet to know his name, playfully glaring at his brother making me all the more confused by how cool and normal they were acting.

The intensity of my anger and fear seeped into my pores like hot lava. And I felt my unleashed resentment upsurge. My courage was restored in a second and I exploded with unadulterated rage.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY? HOW IS THIS NORMAL TO YOU?"

They looked at each other, calmly as I yelled at them. I was heaving, my parched throat burned and a tear fled my opened eyelid feeling mad, frustrated and fearful.

The brown eyed man and Nikolai glimpsed at their brother noting how hard his puffed breaths were coming out. The imaginary steam coming out of his ears as his knuckles whitened at his harsh grip on them.

He was angry.

At me.

I wouldn't have cared if I wasn't so scared of what he might do to me but I was fucking terrified of his next action would be as the other two exchanged glances, seemingly concerned.
