Semua Bab Nikolai’s Tainted Nun : Bab 141 - Bab 150

Chapter 137 ⟿❂⟾ Nikolai ⟿❂⟾ The lead man’s smile widened, and I felt that familiar surge of adrenaline I’d been craving for days. Finally. Something to sink my teeth into. “You know what?” I said, my hand steady on my gun. “That's a very nasty smile you have there, buddy.” Vincenzo snorted beside me. “About fucking time. I was starting to think I’d died and gone to heaven.” “Gentlemen,” Leandro tried again, his voice taking on that mystical bullshit tone he used when he was nervous. “Perhaps we can—” “Shut up, Leandro.” I kept my eyes on the lead man. “So, what exactly do you think I have that belongs to your boss?” “You know what we want,” he said, taking a step closer. “The girl. And the jewelry.” Interesting. So they knew about both. But which one was the priority? “The girl’s not here,” I said truthfully. “Then you’ll take us to her.” “Will I?” I tilted my head. “And if I refuse?” The man by the door shifted, and I caught the glint of metal under his jacket. The one

Chapter 139⟿❂⟾Nikolai⟿❂⟾We moved fast, kicking in the door and flooding the room with our glorious presence.“Surprise,” I said pleasantly.There were four of them, just as Vincenzo had said. Three men and a woman, all armed, all turning toward us with expressions of shock and fear.“Drop your toys,” Vincenzo commanded.For a moment, nobody moved. Then the woman—blonde, pretty, cold-eyed, matching the description from earlier—smiled.“Nikolai Gianni,” she said. “We’ve been expecting you.”“Have you now?”“My employer is very interested in meeting you.”“Your employer can make an appointment.”“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”“It never is.” I kept my gun trained on her. “You’re the one who hired those idiots at Leandro’s.”“I hire a lot of people. Not all of them are particularly bright.”“But you all work for Giancarlo.”Her smile widened. “Very good. Yes, we work for Mr. Giancarlo.”“And what does Mr. Giancarlo want with me?”“Not you. The girl.”“Sylvia’s not available.”“She

Chapter 141⟿❂⟾Sylvia⟿❂⟾I saw the exact moment his pupils dilated until his eyes were almost black, the way his breath caught in his throat like I’d just offered him salvation.“But you don’t have to if you don’t want—” he started again, but his voice cracked.“But I’m going to,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the thundering of my own heartbeat. “I’m going to put my mouth on you and make you forget everything else.”Still crouched on the floor, the towel forgotten, I let my eyes drift over his naked body slowly, taking in every detail. Water still clung to his chest, rolling down the defined ridges of his abs. His cock stood thick and hard before me, already weeping at the tip.“Sylvia…” he breathed. Just my name. A plea or a request.I reached out and wrapped my fingers around his shaft, and he jerked like I’d electrocuted him. His skin was burning hot, velvet over steel, and I could feel him pulse against my palm.“You’re so hard,” I murmured, stroking him slowly from

Chapter 143 ⟿❂⟾ Sylvia ⟿❂⟾ I sat in the chair, holding baby Leone close to my chest. His tiny fingers curled around mine, and I could feel his warm breath against my collarbone. At nearly four weeks old, he was still so small, so perfect, so loud when he thought he was’t getting enough attention from his mum. “Hold still,” Stacy murmured, her skilled hands working magic with the curling iron. “We’re almost done with your hair.” She then paused as she noticed the marks on my neck and shoulders. “Damn, girl. Looks like you two really went at it last night.” I felt my cheeks burn. “Oh God…” “From the looks of these bruises,” she continued with a grin, reaching for the concealer, “y’all were trying every position in the book. This one on your collarbone? That’s some serious passion right there.” “Can you make them vanish completely?” “Oh, I got you covered, literally.” She dabbed concealer over the finger marks on my shoulders. “But honey, you guys should have been more careful

Chapter 145 ⟿❂⟾ Sylvia ⟿❂⟾ Nikolai’s hand found mine under the table, his fingers intertwining with mine and squeezing tight. “Yes, you can. Look at me.” I forced myself to turn away from Kaine, who for some reason hadn’t noticed me yet, and met Nikolai’s eyes. In them, I saw strength, determination, and something that looked like fierce protectiveness. “You are not that scared woman anymore,” he said quietly. “You are strong. You are brave. And you are not alone.” I nodded, trying to calm my racing heart by repeating the new mantra. But every time I glanced toward the head of the table, I felt that familiar panic clawing at my throat. The dinner progressed with course after course of exquisite food that I couldn’t taste. My mouth was too dry, my stomach too knotted with anxiety. I pushed the food around my plate, trying to look normal while my entire world spun around me. The conversation around the table grew more explicit as the evening wore on. The men discussed their ‘acq
