Under his protection

KATYA"Get up.”The command cut through the silence of the cell so abruptly that I startled. I had spent so many hours curled up against the cold wall replaying every terrible decision I had made that had landed me in this exact spot. Perhaps if I hadn’t followed Daniel to that club in the first place, then none of this would even be happening.How the fuck had it all gone so wrong?One second I felt I was getting Nikolai to actually listen to me, and the very next, I had been caught with the fucking phone. The craziest thing to me was that I was even accused about things I had no idea about in the first place. How was I expected to defend myself from messages I had never seen in the first place?Here I was sitting in a dungeon waiting for my fate to catch up with me.Two heavily armed guards stood in the doorway.One of them repeated himself."Get up."I blinked at them."What now?" I managed to get out, despite how weak I was, but none of them answered.The taller one merely jer

Lily decides to take action.

Lily was pissed off, as she stormed into the sitting room. "I cannot believe he chose to keep her over the decision of the council." She muttered under her breath, as she poured herself a drink. “What the actual fuck?!” she yelled out, throwing the glass against the far wall. She watched as the drink splashed across the expensive paint and trickled down. Lily stood motionless in the middle of her sitting room, her chest rising and falling with ragged breaths. For several seconds, the only sound in the room was the slow drip of whiskey from the wall.Then she let out a laugh."Unbelievable."She snatched up another bottle from the side table and poured herself another drink.Her hand trembled now from pure fury, as she tossed the contents back in one swallow, welcoming the burn that slid down her throat.It did absolutely nothing to calm the fire raging beneath her skin.All she could see right now was Nikolai's face in that council chamber and the way he had told every single one

I am not safe

KATYA"Do you plan on actually kill yourself this time by starving?”Nikolai was in the room, glaring at me.His gaze shifted toward the untouched tray of food sitting in the corner once again. "I asked you a question."I let out a dry laugh."I did not think you were that concerned whether I lived or died.” I scoffed.His jaw tightened."Of course I am concerned. You almost died the last time.”I frowned.This was not going as I envisioned.Why the hell was he being soft with me?"Death is better than having to stay locked up in this room and left to imagine what day I am finally going to be… how did your fiance put it… beheaded?"His eyes darkened at this.I looked at him for a long moment. Then I scoffed."Why didn't you just kill me?" I asked. “I mean your people want you to. It would save us both this entire conversation if I am dead so you can finally get your revenge on my father.”"You think I enjoy this?” "I do not know what to fucking think!” I snapped, making to rise from

Stay with me

NIKOLAI For a second, I didn’t process what Katya was saying as I watched her face gradually grow pale and her eyes widen in horror.I followed her gaze and that was when I saw it as well.The knife protruding from my side."Shit." I muttered now as the pain hit me all at once.The room seemed to tilt violently at that point, as I felt my knees begin to buckle under me.My hand instinctively moved toward the handle jutting out of my side before stopping halfway.I wondered when the fuck the motherfucker had managed to stab me.Suddenly, there were arms around me.Katya.She tried to catch me before I could collapse completely."Easy," she said breathlessly."I'm… fine," I winced."You are literally falling."Despite everything, a slight huff escaped me."The motherfucker was quick with the knife. " I let out,Katya turned toward the guards."Don't just stand there! Help me!"The authority in her voice startled even me. The guards snapped into action immediately.Between Katya and the

What are you doing?

"Where are you?" Sergei asked, as soon as Lily picked up the phone.His tone made it clear that he was in no mood for petty chitchat.Lily blinked as she looked down at her phone. For a moment, she wondered if she had heard correctly.He surely wasn’t talking like that to her.The fact that he was even calling her at all was a sort of surprise. She leaned back against the leather seat of her car."Since when," she asked dryly, "have my whereabouts become your business?"There was a pause on the other end. Then Sergei spoke again, his tone clipped."Since the house was attacked and somehow you weren't here."A smile formed on Lily's mouth now, as she already knew where this was going.If Sergei was calling about an attack...Then it meant her plan had worked. No doubt by now, Katya Orlov was dead.The plan had been simple right from the get-go.Remove the girl who had somehow turned Nikolai into a man that Lily no longer really recognized."What happened?" she asked, unable to keep the

Help

KATYA I rose to my feet the second Lily stepped into the room. The door had barely finished opening before tension filled the air. I could already see the accusation in her eyes. The anger, suspicion and the absolute certainty that somehow everything was my fault. I opened my mouth, preparing to explain that nothing inappropriate had happened between Nikolai and I but a groan interrupted me. Both of us turned. Nikolai shifted against the pillows. His brows pulled together before his eyes slowly opened. For a second he looked disoriented then his gaze moved between us. "What is all that noise?" he muttered. Lily stared at him then she let out a sharp laugh. "Really?" "What?" "What is she doing by your bedside when I should be here?" Nikolai frowned. "Lily…" "No." She marched across the room. I barely had enough time to step aside before she shoved past me. I took several steps back. Lily immediately sat beside Nikolai and reached for his hand. "What happened to you?"

Thrown in the dungeons

KATYAI could feel my heart pounding so violently against my ribs right now as I continued to yell at the top of my lungs for somebody to come and help. I watched as Lily rushed forward. “Why are you yelling?” she asked, irritation on her face. She saw Nikolai as soon as she stepped into the room, still foaming from the mouth."Nikolai!" she yelled, panic filling her voice immediately. She shoved past me and made her way to him. "Nikolai?" she called again, grabbing his face. "Nikolai, look at me!"I stared at his now pale face, wondering what I had done wrong. I still couldn’t fully understand what I was witnessing right now. He wasn’t responding to her calls. Behind us, hurried footsteps echoed through the room. Sergei burst through the doorway moments later, and his eyes immediately found Nikolai."What the fuck?"For the first time since I'd met him, Sergei looked genuinely shaken. He turned sharply toward the guards who were behind him."Get the doctor back here right now!

The meeting

"This meeting has been called under unfortunate circumstances." Lily declared, as soon as she walked into the room of gather council members. There was an instant hush in the room, as the atmosphere inside felt different from the previous meeting. “Where is Nikolai?” one of them asked as the chair at the head of the table sat empty. Sergei sat quietly in his usual seat, watching, as Lily made her way towards the head of the table and stood right where Nikolai should have been. The move didn’t go unnoticed by the others either, as they wondered what the fuck was going on. "Our dear Pakhan has been rendered incapacitated by two attacks which happened some hours before this meeting was called.” She said, Several council members shifted uneasily on hearing this. So many questions ran through their heads. "We still don't have definitive answers regarding his condition." Lily continued, “But we do know how this happened.” Sergei almost sighed at this point, as he could already tell

Something terrible has happened

KATYA“Do you know how many days it has been?" I asked, my voice hoarse from disuse.The maid didn't answer at all. She just kept her eyes lowered as she pushed the tray of food through the small opening in the dungeon door towards me and then immediately stepped back.As though I carried some kind of disease that would infect her if she came too close.I stared at it for several seconds before letting out a slow breath."Right," I muttered bitterly. "Thanks for the conversation."I couldn’t exactly blame her for her actions right now. I could only imagine what Lily must have put them through out there simply for allowing me to make the food.The dungeon had become my entire world now.A tray of food was provided to me at different times and in here there was no clock or even sunlight for me to know how many days had gone by since I was locked up.The uncertainty was driving me insane.Every waking moment, I found myself wondering the same thing.How was Nikolai? Was he alive? How wel

Saved by the bell

NIKOLAI"Someone better tell me what the fuck is going on here right now."My voice echoed through the council chamber as the room fell silent instantly. I stood in the doorway looking at each and every one of them while every muscle in my body screamed in protest. The doctor had advised me not to leave my bed for another few days, but I had ignored him. This was really important. Katya stood in the center of the chamber. And judging from the expression on her face, it was like I had arrived just in time. There were dark circles beneath her eyes and the sight made something ugly twist inside my chest.Lily rose from her seat. The shock was still written on her face as she approached me. "Nikolai." She said, “Oh my God, you are awake.”Her eyes scanned my body."You're standing. Are you sure you're okay?"She reached out as if to touch my arm."What exactly is the meaning of all this?"Lily's expression hardened slightly."We assembled the council to decide what should be done with
