Kiara: “Do you have everything you need?” Maddie asked me as I was checking my purse I nodded. Both of us walking toward the door, getting ready to go out. “YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME WHAT TO AND WHAT NOT TO DO!” I heard Claudia yell, her voice booming in the house. “YOU WILL NOT YELL AT ME, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!” Nikolay yelled. His voice causing everyone in the house to freeze as chills ran down my spine. I looked at Vladimir who walked out of the living room at the sound of the two siblings. Both our eyes widened when we looked at one another. I put my bag down and both Vladimir and I ran upstairs following the two siblings’ voices. Both of them yelling as loud as they could, looking as if they were ready to kill one another. “YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU LIKE! YOU GO OUT WITH DIFFERENT GIRLS EVERYDAY! DO YOU THINK THAT I DON’T SEE THE GIRLS LEAVING YOUR BEDROOM? AT LEAST I’M NOT MARRIED, NOR DO I HAVE A BOYFRIEND TO CHEAT ON!” Claudia yelled as lo

Nikolay “A normal newly married couple give one another love bites, claim one another as lovers, the man is sure to please his wife until she cannot walk…” Dimitri said glaring at both Kiara and I. We were still in the gym having been stopped by Dimitri, Ivan, and mom “but here you two are. Giving one another bruises and breaking each other’s legs so you wouldn’t walk” “And the issue in that is?” I asked raising an eyebrow. Kiara bit her lip stopping herself from laughing and I smirked. The two of us sharing a glance as we got ‘scolded’ by my parents. “Since when do you even lay a hand on a woman?” Mom asked angrily. “In his defense, he did mention that he didn’t. But we decided to break that rule” Kiara said looking at mom who raised her hands in surrender at the two of us. I put a hand on Kiara’s lower back and she raised an eyebrow at me. “As long as they’re happy, then why are we upset?” Ivan asked looking at Dimitri and mom who glared at

Nikolay: “You are not going anywhere” I said pointing the gun at Kiara who stood frowning. Her eyes searching mine “search her room, and take her gun” “What the hell?” She asked angrily. Vladimir walked toward her, his eyes cold as ice. He walked behind her and took her gun from her waistband. She frowned and kept her eyes on me as the maids, Alexei, and Viktor stood in front of her. Either searching her room or standing in front of her with a gun. “My guns are in the last drawer” Kiara said keeping her eyes on me. Her eyes looking at the maids who were emptying her boxes of jewelry on her bed, or opening her lingerie drawers, searching her clothes. “You will not open your mouth” I said glaring at her “you’re lucky that you’re even alive” “The gun isn’t even loaded” Vladimir said looking at me. I frowned in confusion and found Kiara’s arm crossed and her eyes staying on me before she moved and walked to her dresser’s last drawer. Opening it an

Nikolay: “Can I ask why you tracked my call in the first place?” Kiara asked walking inside my office. To say that she was annoyed right now was an understatement, but when Maddie walked down and told me that Kiara was asleep, and that she found her holding her phone in her sleep. Her grip tight, and that she worried that she might have gotten a call. Then mom coming out of her bedroom looking troubled triggered me, letting me know that something bad has happened. “You slept holding your phone. Maddie told me how tight your grip was on it. Meaning you slept out of stress and anger, then mom” I said looking at Kiara as she walked inside the office, her arms crossed over her chest. Vladimir raised an eyebrow at me but I rolled my eyes and nodded to him, Viktor, and Alexei to walk out of the office, they had been with me when I bugged the phone. Though, I did not expect to find a threat from her father toward her, I expected to see that she was working AGAINST us. That

Nikolay: “You can’t be serious?” Kiara asked with wide eyes. I smirked and stood in front of her. Taking a step forward forcing her to take a step back until her back hit the wall forcing her to stop moving. Her eyes met mine and I put my hands either side of her head. Caging her between my arms. “Now, I do recommend that you NEVER do the little stunt you did out there…” I leaned closer to her ear. My hot breath hitting her neck “unless you want me to be sure that you won’t be able to walk” Kiara gulped and I smirked when she pushed me back. Taking a step forward away from me, her cheeks red as she blushed walking past me. She opened the door to walk out of my bedroom, with me one step behind her. “I recommend you taking Advil, I’m guessing your fever rose a little” I winked at Kiara who froze in her spot, her back to me. I could tell that she wanted to say something to respond to my comment, but she kept herself controlled and walked inside her bedro
