Before I could respond, his brother came out of the room.“Nick, you are back. I didn’t hear you come in.”Nicholas’s eyes flickered briefly from mine to his. “Who is this and what is he doing here?”“Oh, him? He said he’s a friend of yours so I asked him to wait for you since you won’t be staying long,” Leo responded, carrying the bags off the floor to the kitchen.“Seriously! Leo, that is a very foolish thing to do. You can’t just open the door to strangers who claim to be my friend. What if he’s a serial killer or a kidnapper or something?” Nicholas shot back, tone rising as he walked to the kitchen.“I know. I know I’m sorry. He just seemed really nice and I guess I got excited to see a friend of yours. Someone other than Jamie, of course.”“Leo, I’m not joking. This is serious. What if something happened to you? Friends harm each other, you know. Not to talk of strangers.”Leo chuckled, nodding in agreement. “Yes, Nick, I know. And I am sorry. I promise it will never happen again

Stefan was already waiting by the time I got to the Blackwood estate. Protocol was protocol, so I placed my handgun into the crested chest as mandated as per the rules, and made my way into the meeting room. I scanned the faces as I walked in. Everyone was present, everyone that was important enough to be. Nikolai sat close to me, posture relaxed, gave a short nod, grinning. I clenched my fist together, refusing to let him get under my skin. I took my seat while adjusting my jacket, smoothing the lapels, as the others watched in silence.“Good evening everyone, and thank you for making time to be here today,” I said, voice steady and clear. “Now I don’t want us to waste much time here, so we’ll head straight to the point. Matteo, over to you.” I added, gesturing his way.Matteo nodded once, the movement precise. “Thank you Alessandro. And welcome everyone once again. This meeting has been long overdue and just like Alessandro stated, we don’t want to waste time as we are all busy men

Nick’s POV A couple of weeks had passed since Alessandro dropped by my house, since the incident with the stranger from the club, who goes by the name Nikolai happened, and so far there had been nothing. Nothing that suggested I was in danger or could potentially be in danger. Although I pretended not to notice that Alessandro was still keeping an eye on me and Leo, by dispatching someone to watch us 24/7. I didn’t mind because he wasn’t my problem anymore, and I’ve been focused on school, work, and getting Leo prepared to leave for school. Those were the only things that mattered right now. I also used the opportunity to give Jake some space, hoping by the time I went back to him, he wouldn’t be mad at me anymore and today was that day. I didn’t text him that I was coming over, even though I knew I should have. But since my classes finished early, I thought to just drop by. The ride to his place wasn’t supposed to take long, an hour, maybe an hour and a half at most. But due to

“What? No you didn’t. I just did that because I wanted to find out something. It was just to see if ale would pick you over his duties.”I laughed in disbelief, as I stood up fast and started pacing. My hands wouldn’t stay still, they kept curling and uncurling again. “You’ve got to be kidding me. So you mean to tell me that I almost got hurt because you wanted to find out about something so stupid? Like you put my life in danger because you wanted to see if your brother would pick me over his duties? Can you hear yourself right now? Do you know how insane that sounds?” I asked in anger, turning to face her. “I know, Nick. I know it was stupid and insane, but it was necessary. You might not understand but—”“Then fucking make me understand then!” I yelled, eyes locked on hers. “Make me understand why I should be the sacrificial lamb for whatever fucked-up thing you’ve got going on in your family.”She stood up and approached me slowly. “Nick, I like you. I really do. And yes, at firs

“I never said that, little one, and I never will. You don’t see me complaining, do you?” “You don’t have to complain,” I replied without missing a beat. “You literally just said it now, and—”“I know what I said,” he cut in, “and I’m just being honest with you. But this isn’t your fault. I wanted it. I wanted you. I wanted something different out of work or business. And I agree… maybe I didn’t go about it the right way, but that’s the truth. But at the same time, it doesn’t excuse what Bianca did, nor does it warrant her to act that way by blaming all this on you. But she also had a point.”I scoffed, brows furrowing as I made to leave, but his hand closed around my arm before I could take one more step. “Hear me out, little one.”I hesitated for a while, until eventually I relaxed.“Things are done differently in our world,” he continued, voice lower now, almost careful. “And let’s just say having a weakness shouldn’t even be discovered by others. Otherwise, I’ll get exploited. And
