CHAPTER 42: GOING BACK TO RUSSIA NIKOLAI'S POV:It is that time of the year again where I shot people out, I mean I do that regularly but days like this are worse. I can't help but be reminded of my childhood trauma on this day.I was out drinking with Ivan and it was getting late, Lily might be worried about me but it would be better not to see her in this my present predicament.“What do you want man? More drinks or what... more ladies?”, Ivan asked as he partied even harder than I. We were at Madame Cho's club and in our private booth, getting private dances.Ivan had two girls by his side and he was enjoying himself, I know his heart was in the right place and he was trying to make me feel better, but it wasn't more drink or girls I needed, I just want to be alone.“No Ivan, I better get home now”, I announced and stood up but almost fell. I hardly get this wasted but today I had more than a lot.“Hell fucking nah man! You can't leave now”, He said and pushed the girls off of his

CHAPTER 44: THE VLADIMIR'S F★CKING MANSION LILY'S POV:After the incident of Nikolai destroying my Christmas decorations and he belittling me, I locked myself up in my room and refused coming out the next day. A maid came to call me down for breakfast but I said I wasn't hungry.My stomach was rumbling and screaming for food but I was still very angry and hurt by Nikolai's attitude.“It's just a goddamn tree, why be upset about it?!!”, I asked myself. Or was he acting under the influence?I wrapped myself with a blanket and refused going out and I stayed that way.I heard a knock on the door again and I didn't respond, then I heard retreating footsteps.‘Must be Nikolai’, I thought, he came back and I heard jiggling a key into the keyhole and I should have known he would have a spare key.“Sit up. We need to talk”, He instructed and I did, avoiding all eye contact with him. I heard him sigh and offered himself a seat opposite where I sat.“Something came up so we will be going to Rus

CHAPTER 46: WE FINALLY MEET IN PERSON LILY'S POV:I steered in my sleep because it felt as if someone was looking at me. I slowly opened my eyes to see Nikolai was standing right in front of me.“Oh my God!”, I exclaimed and quickly sat up straight, the sleep disappeared from my eyes. Nikolai just stood there, looking at me with hands in his pocket.“Sit, I need to brief you on something”, He said and sat on the sofa. I moved closer to the edge of the bed and sat down properly.“It is already pass lunch so you can't meet the family till dinner time...”, I looked over to the wall clock beautifully placed on the wall and it was 12 minutes pass 3 pm and my eyes grew wide.‘Did I seriously sleep for so long?!’, I asked myself.“... Keep in mind that you are here as my girlfriend--”.“WHAT?!!”, I didn't let him finish before I blurted out my shock, he didn't react and looked at me like it was normal.“Why?”, He feigned ignorance.“Maybe, I don't know - tell them the truth? I'm not your fr

CHAPTER 48: SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND LILY'S POV:‘Oh no, he's going to take his anger on me’, I said to myself, I need to decipher the situation, right now!“Nikolai, I--”.“Did Roman call and you answered back at my mansion?”, Nikolai started calmly, trying to suppress his anger.“I didn't kno--”, He wouldn't even explain.“Answer Yes or No Lily. Did he speak with you on the phone?”, Nikolai asked again and I was already getting scared, he hasn't even looked at me once.“Yes... but I didn't say anything much--”.“For fuck sake Lily, do not speak unless I ask you to!!”, He roared and finally looked at me and as I gazed at Nikolai, his face transformed into a mask of calculated fury, his eyes blazing with a cold, hard intensity. His jaw clenched, his lips pressed into a thin line, and his nostrils flared with restrained anger. He exuded an aura of menacing power, like a predator poised to strike.The air around him seemed to vibrate with tension, as if the very mention of his brother's nam

CHAPTER 50: ALL FOR PRETEND LILY'S POV:“Go take a shower and get some sleep... it's late”, Nikolai said to me once we were inside his room, he was back to his cold self. It makes me wonder if he's bipolar, one minute he's sweet and kissing me deep, the next minute it's like I don't even exist.“Why did you lie about my parents job?”, I asked, the least he could do for me was to give me any form of explanation, I deserve that much.“I don't need to tell you why I do things”, He replied tiredly as he unbuttoned his shirt, he didn't look at me while he spoke.“Yes you do. You just lied about what my parents do for a living and now you're saying you won't tell me why?”, I asked again.He sighed and turned around to look at me, half his shirt button was undone, leaving his hard chest on display, I gulped and tried to focus on his face.“I don't want my family investigating your background, I know them too well... My mother, Anastasia and Roman will go digging deep into your background and
