ANASTASIA'S POV “Is this your strategy? Wait me out?" he asks, his fingertips brushing my shoulders.I shrug him off.“You won't let me go? I gave you what you want—”“You think it's your pussy I'm after? Magically as it is,” He smirks, brushing his fingertips down the curve of my side. "There's plenty just like it.”I close my eyes. It's just a waiting game. That's all. Just a waiting ga—“Do you think you can out wait me? Do you think I'll pull my punches?” he whispers in my ear.“Do you think I have a shred of decency? Because I don't. Not now. It's not in my best interest.”I ignore him. He sighs, reaching over me, he raises my leg, slipping his hand between my thighs. He lets it sit there.“It's okay, Anastasia. We'll figure it out, dear.”“Why are you so obsessed with me," I hiss.He chuckles. “Because you're so perfect. So fucking perfect Anatasia. And who's fault is that? Huh? Mine?”He's a lunatic.That's it.“We can go shopping for clothes tommorow. Because you're not leavin

ANASTASIA’S POV I skip down the street, singing."Makin' my way downtown, walking fast, I'm a seagull go fuck yourself- dunnna dunnna do-""And this is what you do, when I ask you to stay home," He rasp appearing from an alley, like the true creep he is.He lounges, leaning against the brick wall of a building, the dark alley casting hash shadows on his face.He's so handsome. I hate him."I can't hear you. I don't talk to creeps in alleyways," I say, skipping along. He grabs my arm, pulling me into the alley, pressing me against the wall.I look up at him, blinking. He looks down at me, observing my face."Can I ask what the fuck you're doing," He rasps lowly."You can," I reply. "But the answer will be the same."He smiles. "And what's that?"I slip down the wall, escaping his hold."I'm a seagull, go fuck yourself," I flap my arms wildly, running away in a zig zag. "DUNNNA DUNNA DO DO DO DO!"He huffs. Walking after me."Why are you so drunk? It's only two pm?" he calls."Because

ANASTASIA'S POV "Hey, did you eat?" I ask lowly."I didn't have time, I'll get some later-""Here," I interrupt, lifting my fork, "Have some." He looks at the fork."No, I made fit for you, I'll eat something at the house.”"Eat some," I insist. "My hand is tired, hurry up."He licks his lips, staring at the fork. I roll my eyes, urging the fork forward. He bends down, taking a bite, his eyes on mine.I look away."Thank you," he says lowly."It's just one bite. That's not eating, c'mon, you get half, I get half."He sits down beside me, and we share the plate.He smiles smally."I'm not doing this cause I like you," I say lowly, putting another forkful of food in his mouth. "It's only right, since you got up earlier and fixed me something."He says nothing, eating what I give him.I hand him my cup. "Here, drink some juice."He takes the cup, drinking half of it.We sit there, the plate clean, awkwardly.Damn it, I could've just gotten another fork and plate. I didn't have to feed h

NIKOLAI'S POV Weeks had passed since our little sex-fest in the back of my car. Anastasia and I were getting closer.Which was good, because so was my appointment.The Head of the Sokolov Family. I fought for that spot. Bled for that spot.And now...finally it was almost mine. I could see it. Taste it.After years of being the best, I can finally claim what's mine.I talk to some of the new recruits, scout for rats that sort of thing. I've been managing a few of our businesses and offshore accounts.I've also been going over our territory, the tribute, and different businesses who give protection money.Everything is going perfectly.I should've known that was a bad sign.Anastasia texted me, telling me she was coming over. She left a pair of earrings at my house she said.That made me smile. I know she wants to see me, but doesn't want to say it.My prickly little cactus.I'm doing business, usual stuff when I hear a knock at the door. Assuming it's Anastasia, I hurry to open it.I

NIKOLAI'S POV "We do not associate with these people," I hiss. "Especially," I point at the woman who glares at me, "Not her!""Why?" Sergei laughs. "Because their leader dumped you after you kissed another girl in front of her?""Because they are disloyal, fickle and reckless. That's why. Now take her back where she came from, and I will forgive this... gross abuse of my trust."Sergei looks away. "Then it looks like we're done here, Nikolai."They turn their backs on me, and start walking away."If you walk out that door," I yell, halting their steps, "Do not bother to ever come back."He says nothing, but his steps say it all."Where are you even going?" I ask."Well, if I know her well enough, to see me."That voice.Of course. Of course they bought the devil here.I sit back, taking in her form as she stands imposing, her disapporval so evident."And see if I'll approve of this horrible union. And when I don't, they'll flee, fall off the grid, ain't that Darya?"She breaks away
