Next Day.
Coming back to his Island, As Cole stopped the car in front of the huge mansion, Nikolai got out of it and walked straight to the main door. His pissed off face was enough for people to back off and not step in his way, Cole stared at his boss while getting out of the car.
He never saw Nikolai this pissed off and irritated ever.
Nikolai strolled straight to his study room and shut the door behind, that woman ruined his mood. He sat on his recliner, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself. Nikolai never met someone like that ever in his entire life, the way she screamed at him to die was something very new to him.
Women always screamed for his attention but she’s screaming at him to die. It kept flashing in front of his eyes and annoyed him more and more.
Stop it, stop thinking about it, he yelled at his subconscious and quickly opened the laptop in front of him. He began working while trying to push whatever happened earlier from his mind.
***
His phone began to ring, pulling his attention from the laptop. He grabbed the phone and answered the call.
“Hello,” he spoke,
“Boss,” Cole replied from the other side,
“What is it, Cole?” Nikolai asked while staring at the laptop screen,
“Boss, Christopher has sent you a gift,” Cole said,
“Gift? I don’t want any kind of gift from him, Send it back!” Nikolai was irritated at Christopher’s attempt to make Nikolai his alley again. Since his son tried to disrespect Nikolai, Christopher is trying to make Nikolai forget about it. Nikolai knows this and is quite annoyed.
“Boss, I think you should come and have a look first,” Cole suggested politely,
“I’m not interested, send it back,” Nikolai ordered and hung up the phone. As soon as he cut the call, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” he said while glancing at the door,
Flora walked inside with a warm smile on her face with a trolley filled with lunch for him, “Sorry for disturbing you, But Lunch is important.” She said while placing everything on the coffee table.
Nikolai sighed and shut the laptop; he couldn’t argue with her. He walked towards her and placed a sweet kiss on her cheek while sitting on the couch. She smiled at him while placing the dishes and serving him.
“You look tired, is everything alright?” she asked with concern in her tone,
“Yeah, everything is fine… it’s just work,” Nikolai replied.
As Nikolai began having his lunch, Alan pushed the door open and walked straight towards Nikolai.
Glancing at Alan, Flora said, “Whatever it is can wait until he finishes his lunch,”
‘Okay,” Alan said and waited until Nikolai finished his lunch. Flora began putting everything back in the trolley.
“You can continue, I will leave you both,” she said and walked out of the room.
Nikolai walked back to his desk and sat down,
“I think you should just accept the gift he sent,” Alan suggested while sitting in front of Nikolai,
“I’m sure you will love it if you see it!” Alan said with a smile on his face. Looking at his face, Nikolai grew curious and got up from the chair.
“Fine,” He muttered under his breath and strolled out of the study. Alan followed him closely with a small smirk at the corner of his lips. Cole led Nikolai to the place the gift was kept, Nikolai followed him in confusion as to why Cole was talking to the empty rooms in the basement.
He stopped in front of the closed wooden door and stepped back; Nikolai glanced at Cole in confusion. Nikolai pushed the door and strolled inside, Cole and Alan followed him inside while sharing a look of excitement.
As Nikolai’s eyes stared at the woman tied to the chair, unconscious, his jaw clenched in pure anger. His fisted his hands and glared at the unconscious person,
“What the hell is she doing here?” He gritted his teeth, turning his deadly glare towards Cole.
“Christopher’s gift!” Cole said while pointing his hands towards her,
“Here…it has her details,” He handed over the file,
“It was sent with her… also by Christopher,” he added, hiding the smile from Nikolai’s deadly glare.
“Actually, he sent two girls, the other one is kept in another room,” Alan said,
“Fuck this!” he cursed while turning around and walking out of the room.
Christopher!
Nikolai strolled to his room and paced back and forth in anger and irritation, “Here boss,” Cole handed the phone to Nikolai,
“I hope you like the gift, my friend,” Christopher spoke,
“What the hell is this?” Nikolai asked while controlling his temper badly,
“Well, my men saw you talking with that woman and by the look of it… clearly she’s your girlfriend… I don’t know why you both are living away from each other… So, I thought why not send her to you,” Christopher said from the other side,
What? Is this man stupid? How the heck did he become the mafia don?
“I just want to help you… I’m truly sorry for my son’s behaviour,” he said, his tone clearly making Nikolai understand his intention behind this action.
He took a deep breath and tried hard to control himself, everything is pissing him off lately. He used to be this calm in every situation after he met this woman. Every single thing is pissing him off and making him angry.
“Christopher, I appreciate your efforts but…” As he was trying to tell him that he didn’t want this woman and he had misunderstood everything, Alan gestured to him not to do it.
Confused, Nikolai stopped in mid-sentence, Alan gestured to him not to tell him that she is not his girlfriend.
Nikolai gestured, why?
Alan gestured, I will tell you later, After the call.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Nikolai sighed while rolling his eyes, “Nikolai? Are you there?” Christopher asked,
“Yeah, I really appreciate your gift… I’m a bit busy, I’ll talk to you later,” he said,
“Okay, no problem,” Christopher replied and hung up the call. Nikolai gave the phone back to Cole and turned towards Alan.
“What were you saying?” He asked,
“Let him think she’s your girlfriend,” Alan said,
“What? But why?” Nikolai asked in confusion and also irritation at the mention of her as his girlfriend.
“Since she insulted you and screamed at you to die, not once but thrice…” Alan reminded everyone that they had learned what happened between these two and were quite impressed by Julianna.
Cole and Alan said this to every single person in the mansion, Penelope and Flora were quite impressed and excited to meet her. No one ever dared to stand up to Nikolai and Cole has told them that he saw the tension between these two.
Flora and others were worried for Nikolai since he shut himself off completely after Venessa left him. He never let any woman come close to him after her, he calls those whores who are eager to fulfil his sexual desire and never leaves to stay for a second after that.
They are hoping she could help him and planned to let her stay here at any cost.
“Why don’t you take revenge on her…” Alan suggested,
“What’s the point in that? She apologised for it and she didn’t do it intentionally… it was an accident,” he said although he was angry at her action but chose too not to be so stupid.
“But boss if we send her back, I’m sure Christopher will think you didn’t forgive his son and this can actually lead into big fuss… and not to forget Christopher is one of our good alleys… he helped us in many situations,” Cole advised,
He’s right! I can’t let any conflicts in between us, He did help us a lot, Nikolai thought for a sec,
But I cannot let this woman stay in my house,
Nope, not at all, Nikolai’s huge ego refused.
Cole and Alan noticed him thinking deeply and decided to add few more words,
“Also, Christopher has his two men staying in our house,” Cole added,
“Oh, Yes, what if they inform him about you sending her off,” Alan said while looking at Nikolai,
“We cannot let this small thing ruin everything,” Alan added while placing his hand on Nikolai’s shoulder.
“Fine, don’t send her back, ” Nikolai shut them both in an extremely annoyed tone,
“Bring them both to my study right now,” He ordered,
Cole and Alan glanced at each other, sharing a look of victory, they rushed out of the room leaving Nikolai alone.
Why not I enjoy making her suffer for throwing that stupid pepper spray on my face, Nikolai smirked this evil thought rushed through his mind.
***
He walked back to his study with an extremely serious look on his face, from the corner of his eyes he noticed Julianna looking at him in pure surprise and disbelief which made him smirk internally for some odd reason.
He stood in front of her and enjoyed the way she felt scared to maintain eye contact. He noticed her nervousness and her struggle to say something.
“I-I sai-said I’m sorry fo-for what happened last night… if-if you want… I will apologise again but please let us go,” she said which made him want to laugh at her face,
So, she thinks I kidnapped her for pepper-spraying at me?
God! Seriously!
How stupid can she be? He thought while watching her struggle.
“At least let Stella go… she has nothing to do with this…” she pleaded and this made him glance at Stella.
Who is this woman? And What am I going to do with her!
Should I send her back?
Sending any one of these women would create unnecessary issues, Stella can go to the police and Christopher will know about it.
Fuck it, let Alan take care of her, he thought.
And you, Julianna Mitchel, I’m going to have fun playing with you.
Nikolai couldn’t control his evil thoughts, “No one’s going anywhere!” he declared.
