I need answers!

ARIANNA He was insane.That was the thought running through my mind as I paced the room. Locking me up in a room and separating me from Noah was probably the worst thing Nikolai could do. I haven't seen my son in hours. But I pushed him to the edge and that was certain. Five years later and perhaps this confinement was what I deserved.I rushed to the door again, twisting the door knob repeatedly but it was the same, not yielding and with every moment that passed, my heart raced.How was Noah doing? He must be scared… he must be losing his mind wondering where his mama was. “I'm sorry Noah, I'm coming to get you soon,” I rambled as I hit the door repeatedly.“That's enough, Nikolai, you have to let me out of here!” I banged the door with both hands as I yelled. “Nikolai!” Before I could say another word, the door was pushed open and I stumbled in my steps as the face emerged. Nikolai.I inhaled a deep breath as we both held eyes. “Where's my son?”“He is actually sick,” Nikolai mu

Oh my Girl

ARIANNAMy teeth grind hard against each other before I raised my head, and met Nikolai's eyes. “You should know.”“Ari—” his voice was low, controlled as something swift flashed across his face. He contained it almost immediately, his grip tightening around my wrist, “do not make me ask again.”“Five.” The word left my mouth with precision, one I had made sure to land perfectly. “He is five.”Nikolai's expression went still for seconds. Then like a snap, his eyes flickered to Noah, then back to me and the next heartbeat, I was being dragged out of the room.I gasped as I struggled to follow his pace. “Let me go, Nikolai,” I clawed at his fingers as he pulled me through the hallways, “let me go. You're hurting me!” I cried as he pulled me in.Finally, we reached the entrance of the very room I left earlier. Nikolai pulled the door open and swung me in. Next, the door bolted behind me and my chest heaved as he turned to me.“What —” before I could get my point across, Nikolai closed th

Wake up, Arianna

NIKOLAI “The last trace of Rafael Moreno was tied to one of Vasiliev Holdings’ European subsidiaries.”“And now?” I queried, “where's he now?”“We're actively looking but there's no information on him. Chances are he erased everything.”“Keep working,” I told the investigator then ended the call next. As I rotated the phone in my hands, the name replayed.Rafael Moreno.He was a man from the past, a mentally manipulative man. Rafael could make the most innocent words be used to his favour.And Arianna had called him gentle.My jaw clenched and I felt the rage burn beneath my skin. There was nothing gentle about that. And one thing was vivid. She had made it up.I saw the crack, that one split moment the control slipped off her. She could lie, she was perfect at it, I give her the credit.But her emotions had taken control of her.“Nik,” Arande called behind me and I turned but looked away almost immediately. She was dressed in a golden lingerie, her skin bare under the lace that clun

Chapter 14

ARIANNAMy eyes fluttered and I coughed immediately my eyes snapped open. “What…” I drawled as I struggled to sit up and just then, a large hand settled on my back.I paused, my eyes widening as I turned.Nikolai.As our eyes met, the event rushed with full force into my head. I had fallen asleep, the only time I could let my eyelids close during the night and next thing, the thick smoke had woken me up.My first instinct was to dash to the door but no matter how hard I banged, the door wasn't opened because Nikolai had locked me in.I was coughing real hard by then, the smoke burning at the back of my throat while I wondered if it was just another form of torture. For minutes, I screamed his name before I dashed to the phone in the room but before I could even dial any number, my lungs gave in and I collapsed.“You almost killed me,” I spat as I slapped his hands off, “I almost died because of you, Nikolai. What were you trying to achieve? More pain? You wanted me to lose my breath?

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

ARIANNA “Get dressed.”“I'm not going with you, Nikolai,” I retorted and settled back on the sofa. “You can't keep transporting me everywhere any time you like.”Nikolai's facial muscles shifted slowly. “I'm in control here.”“Ahd why do I have to follow you huh?” I asked and crossed my arms on my chest. “I am delusional, maybe going crazy. You had said that a few minutes ago. And now, all of a sudden, you don't want to leave me alone in this room.”“The appliances are yet to be checked,” Nikolai answered slowly, “after a thorough check, this will be your confinement.”“That is a lie,” I stood, and locked onto his face. “You want me out of here. With you because you fear what I said earlier was true,” I let the silence stretch, examining the effect of reality on Nikolai's face.But he was a master of his emotions whenever he needed to. He only gazed at me deadpanned.“I put off that lamp, Nikolai. That's not the source of the smoke.”“You must be mistaken.”“I am not,” I challenged a

chapter sixteen

ARIANNA A smile graced her lips as she stared at me. “This is the company that has been distracting you,” then she turned to Nikolai, “should I be jealous?”Nikolai's fist tightened by his side, “what are you doing here, Arande?”“I'm sorry,” another soft infuriating smile curled on her lips and she played with her hair, “I was only stalking my husband.”Suspicion confirmed.Arande was Nikolai's wife.The realisation wasn't supposed to be that surprising yet my chest deflated, refilling with something more intense. Anger. He had a perfect life. Money, a wife and his perfect luxurious business.He had a whole other woman yet he was punishing me for the same sin.But we weren't particularly different. He had ended up with someone that had relations to them. Then, we only met once but with how often her name came up in certain meetings then, it was clear something was up.And now, she was his.A perfect luxurious elegant wife— and I hated to admit that about her.Arande shifted her gaze

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

ARIANNA I let out a dry chuckle. “There's a name for that. Obsession,” but then I paused. “No, it's sickness. You have a wife and still behave like this? You should have a bit of shame, Nikolai.”“Shame doesn't exist,” he reached for my hair and a shaky breath ripped through me as he ran his fingers through my hair. “The colour changed.”“None of your business,” I retorted as I slapped his hands off. But Nikolai was waiting, he grabbed my hand before I could protest, pinning it above my head, causing me to fall flat on the sofa.“You—” my chest heaved as I struggled to steady my erratic breath. “Let me go.”“No,” his palm settled on my thighs, his fingers grazing my skin through the fabric. Heat pooled low in my belly instantly, jitters running underneath my skin.Everything was familiar. The touch, the caress, the silent desire. Even though it's been years, my body still remembered.“Remind me where you love to be touched the most.”“I do not love being touched,” I gritted as I prot

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

ARIANNA “Mr. Voss,” the man called, recognition in his voice. “I finally see you around,” he stretched his hand forward, “I am Luca Vale.”“You keep the introduction to yourself,” Nikolai gritted, eyes locked onto me. “We are leaving, Arianna.”I scoffed, peering at him as I sat down and across, Nikolai showcased the exact reaction I wanted. A scowl reached his face quickly and his jaw flexed. “Arianna.”“Nik!” Noah beamed before I could stop him. “See, this man makes robots. I love robots and he thinks I am smart,” Noah moved closer to Luca who stared in between the drama, “do you want to learn about robotics too?”Annoyance crossed Nikolai's face first, Noah unintentional question bruising his ego. One thing he hated was having his intelligence compared and it's even worse if it was another man involved.Nikolai prided himself on being an international luxury conglomerate. Whatever he achieved wasn't just by hard work. It was by psychological knowledge, the ability of knowing when

CHAPTER NINETEEN

NIKOLAI“This isn't anything you think it is.” Arianna said as she struggled against the tie holding her hands together. “This is sick. Pathetic. Insane. Filthy.”“You have always loved the filth.” I spat as I rummaged through a shelf in the next room. When I found the bag, I walked towards my princess, seated on the bed, hands tied behind her. “Perhaps you forgot.”“No.” She protested. “The only person that loves filth is you, Nikolai. Everything was always about you.”I paused, cast her a glance and nodded. “Let's find out.” I poured the content of the bag on the floor and Arianna froze as she watched the items.“No, you are not using that on me,” her legs moved to protest after having her arms clinging to her back. “Do not bring that here.”“Let's get your memories back,” I found what I was looking for and as I stepped closer to Arianna with the vibrator and lube, I watched as she looked around, helplessness glued to her face— with the silent emotion that never leaves.Endearment.

CHAPTER TWENTY

ARIANNA “You've got to help me,” I rambled on the phone as my eyes darted around. “And I'm thankful you called me again.”Two days after we met and here we were on a call, one that I scheduled after making sure I was alone in the room. I heard Luca breathe deeply. “What help can I possibly offer you? You should have everything at your disposal. As long as Mr. Voss is informed.”“I'm not talking about that kind of help,” my voice was slow and I took a deep breath. “You mentioned the security models your company is capable of. I need you to put that to use for me.”I didn't need to hear the questions from the other end before I felt them. Of course anyone would ask questions. Barely 2 days after we met and I was suddenly asking for help.But I needed him. For what's worth, I needed to escape — as long as he could breach the security.If Nikolai's men were right about his home security being accessed, smoke thrown into the room where I was housed, my life was practically in danger.I t
