AVERY"I HAVE COME to keep you alive," Her voice rang in the small room. It sounded exaggerated, but the seriousness and intensity in Nadia's voice made me want to take her seriously."What?" I asked."You heard me," she said, walking into the next door that led to my bedroom. "This is just how I wanted my bedroom to look when I was 7 years old," she smiled. "Just like a princess's. But my father was not one to indulge me in those things.""Right," I said, following her in. "You can't just waltz in here and begin -""Exactly," she turned sharply. "I wanted to waltz into my room, feeling like a princess. I used to sneak to watch them because in Russia, there is nothing like that. The room my father built for me, if I tried to waltz, I would break my toes." She gave a cackle and began tossing clothes into a bag."What are you doing?" I snatched the bag from her.She looked at me, stupefied. "If you have not been listening, I'll say it again. I am trying to save your life.""What?" I as

ADRIANO"THE DOCUMENTS ARE ready to be signed, sir,"Adriano turned to see his secretary come in, holding a thick file of paper."Did you add everything i asked you to?" He asked, collecting the file and opening the first few pages."Yes, sir," she replied, nodding. "I made sure not to miss a thing.""Good," adriano said. "Call Dante Vale and tell him to come and sign the contract.""Yes sir," the secretary said. She bowed slightly and left the office.Adriano spun in his chair to face the full glass wall behind him. He looked out at the NewYork skyline filled with skyscrapers. His tower was one of the tallest in the city, something that made him proud.The phone on his table rang. He picked it up with a grunt."I have let mr Dante Vale know," the secretary said. "He said he will be here in a few hours."Adriano looked at his watch. He had a few hours to wait, so he nodded and said, "Okay. Let him up when he arrives.""Will do that, sir."He hung up and swivelled around again, looking

ADRIANO"HELLO ADRIANO," HER voice came in a thick Russian slur.Adriano wanted nothing more than to slam the phone to the floor and end the call in anger, but something at the back of his brain told him to wait. Nadia was a manipulative bitch, but she was also honest and truthful. He believed when she said she did not want anything more of him and they would never speak again, so for her to call him like this, it means it was for something important or urgent."Speak," he growled. "And be fast about it.""Did i catch you at a bad time?" She asked.Adriano scoffed. "I said you should speak." He said. He put the ring into its jewelry box and placed it in his drawer, locking it securely."I landed in the states today," Nadia said, causing a deep frown to appear on Adriano's brows."You flew here?" He asked. "Why? What's happened in Russia?""These are answers I would rather give you in person," she said. "Not over the phone."Adriano burst out in a laugh. "Yeah right," he snorted. "I've

ADRIANOTHEY ALL REMAINED silent, each person lost and deep in his own thoughts.Adriano kept himself from looking at Avery. Being in this close proximity with her did things to him. Things that he would prefer not to think about."You will be safe here," he said to her. "I will find out who would want you dead, and that person will feel my wrath."Avery nodded. "I did not mean to be any inconvenience." She replied."YOU are not an inconvenience, Avery..." he said, taking a step closer. "Never."Nadia cleared her throat so they both turned to look at her. "I will remain here too for a few days. I want to make sure the threat is over before i leave."Adriano looked at her again, feeling the doubt rousing in him again. But he simply nodded and said, "Feel at home here. I will stay here for the night..." he turned and began to walk out but Avery called, making him stop in his tracks."Iris," she said. "How is she?"Adriano's lips were downturned. He realized that he did not know how his

DMITRI HAD A small tune under his breath as he stepped out of his hotel. He was checked in under another name, of course. He believed he had given Nadia enough time to set her business with Avery Quinn right."Mr Carlos, will you be checking out now?" The receptionist of the hotel asked him. He nodded, "Yes I will," he replied, disguising his accent."Just sign right here,"A piece of paper was pushed across the counter. He took the pen with his left hand and sprawled his name on the line."Thank you, sir," the receptionist said. "We hope to see you again."Probably not, dmitri thought to himself as he handed over the key to his suite and walked away pushing his bag behind him. As he walked across the lobby, he caught his reflection on a window and chuckled in spite of himself.He had white tuffs of hair sticking out of his bowler cap. His nose was fat, and his double chin was studded with small beards. His eyes were now light brown because of the contact lenses he was wearing.His m
