The Billionaire Mafia’s Slave

CHAPTER 38: “HELLO NIKOLAI…”

NIKOLAI’S POV:

Seeing the worry on Lily’s face made me a little happy that that asshole shot me. I sound insane, I know, but if I had known Lily had this side to her, I would have be glad to come back home with an injury everyday.

We got home and Lev was already on standby, he and Lily assisted me to my room and Nate came afterwards. Lily left as Nate helped stitch up my open wounds.

“You are so lucky man! Had it been you wasted more time, it would have been fatal”, Nate said to me. I know he can’t outrightly scold me, he won’t dare, but he’s only concerned for me.

“Hmm…”, I groaned. Nate stitched up the wound without giving me any anesthesia. I hurts like crazy but I was used to that kind of pain.

“There. All done…”, Nate said and stood up, he took off his gloves and went to the first aid box he brought with him.

I tried sitting properly and wore the clean clothes Lev got me.

“Make sure to change the gauze and clean up the wound. Don’t get water on the injury and please make sure to take your medications…”, Nate went on about the list of things I should and shouldn’t do.

The door to my room came flying open and I thought it was Lily, it was Irina.

“NIKOLAI!!”, She called out as she rushed towards me and tried to hug me, I avoided her.

“Irina please–“.

“Are you okay? Does it still hurt? Is the wound that deep? Are you sure this quack did a good job in stitching you up?–“, Irina asked.

“Well, it’s nice to see you too Irina”, Nate sassed and Irina just rolled her eyes at him.

I didn’t answer as I was more worried about leaving this room to go and find Lily. I need her to know I’m good now.

‘She must be worried sick’, I dragged my feet towards the door but Irina grabbed my hand.

“Where are you going to?”, She asked. It seems she is slowly forgetting who I am. I removed her hand and held the back of her head gently, I brought her towards me and whispered.

“Grab me like that again and you might wake up the next day without any finger”, I warned and I heard her gulp, she nodded slowly and I smiled without my eyes.

I let go of her and left.

I knocked softly on Lily’s door and walked in when she told me to come in.

“Oh my God, Nikolai… are you alright?!”, My teeny heart swelled hearing the worry in her voice. She rushed to me and accessed me from head to toe, her brows were furrowed as she concentrated on my physical features.

I smiled and pulled her into a hug, she gasped and tried to break free.

“Ni-Nikolai, your wound!”, She said.

“I’m fine”, I reassured her and she sighed in relief. We hugged for 5 more seconds before she broke free and something in me ache when she wasn’t in my arms anymore.

“We need to talk”, She declared, looking all fierce and serious, it was more like she needed to interrogate me. I smiled and nodded, she took me by the hand and made me sit on the only sofa in the room.

“How did you get injured?”, She asked, straight to the point and I admired that.

“… and don’t lie to me… please”, She added.

I looked at her doe eyes that was silently begging for me to speak the truth, I couldn’t concentrate, I was thinking about the kiss we had in the car. I was imagining slowly bringing her lips down to my unzipped pants and she will bring out my junior and put it whole in her tiny mouth–

“Nikolai?!”, She called out, making snap out of my thoughts.

“Hm?”, I answered.

“What happened to you the three days you weren’t home?”, She asked softly this time.

I can’t lie to her, I couldn’t bring myself to. Then I sighed and decided to tell her the truth.

“Okay… I was in Mexico, sorting out some business and we got ambushed, we were betrayed. We got into a heated shootout and I was shot”, I explained and with each word that came out of my mouth, Lily’s frown turned deeper.

“Oh my God”, She said softly.

“I had Nate immediately fly down to Mexico and treat me, I was unconscious for three days… so don’t worry, the bullet was out and I wasn’t anything serious”, I had to lie at the last part, I couldn’t tell her the gunshot was a big deal and I would have died.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Then why didn’t you go to a hospital after you came back, to have better checkup huh?”, She asked again and I smiled.

“What? Were you worried about me?”, I teased and she was already turning red. I like how easily I can make her blush, that red suits her natural pale skin.

“What? You wish”, She scoffed and stood up to leave, trying to avoid me, I grabbed her hand and yanked her back to me and she yelped. She crashed on my laps and her eyes grew wide and she tried standing up.

“Don’t move”, I told her and she stayed still, I wrapped my hands around her and hugged her, she tried moving again but I got her pinned.

“Stop, your wound might open again”, She said.

“It won’t”.

“But I could hurt you”.

“You won’t… let’s just stay this way for two more minutes, okay?”, I silently pleaded with her.

“Okay”, she sighed and whispered.

I might be considered the deadliest person, the heartless monster and a sadist, but Lily brings out a part of me I never knew exist.

I tried to fight the thought that I might like her, I made myself believe that she was nothing but a distraction, I tried to focus on why I bought her in the first place, to be my slave and make me feel better anytime her dad gets in my way, but I slowly was consumed with the thought of her, her eyes, skin, smile, hair, body, lips… Sounds like lust but I wanted to worship her body, I get jealous of the mere thought that her pussy ex boyfriend have been touching her and kissing her.

‘He fucked up’, I said to myself and I was happy he messed things up, she was with me now.

***

It was midnight and I had already put Lily to bed, she fell asleep in my hands. I smiled at the thought that she feels safe enough to sleep freely in my hold.

I thought of sleeping beside her and just holding her again but she might freak out if she wakes up and see me beside her. I didn’t want her thinking otherwise.

I retired to my bedroom and took a cold shower, my little junior has been acting up later, moving anytime I think about Lily or if I touch or kiss her.

“I can’t remember you being so weak”, I scolded my cock as I took a shower.

I got out of the shower and got dressed, ready for another night without sleep.

My phone rang and I checked for the caller’s ID but it was just an unknown number, I contemplated on picking it up.

‘Might be those spam calls’, I thought, but it might also be important work.

I picked it up and placed it on my ear.

“Yes?”, I said but there wasn’t any response. I took the phone from my ear and checked if it was still connected, it was. I sighed and ended the call.

“Might be wrong number”, I muttered.

I dropped my phone on the lamp table and sat on the bed, the phone rang again and it was that same number.

I picked it up and placed it on my ear again and this time I waited for the person to speak first.

“Hello Nikolai…”, A hoarse voice said and I froze, the phone dropped from my hand.

I know that voice from anywhere, even if I died, I can still recognize who the person was.

It was Roman, I’m sure of it. Many years has passed since I heard from him but I know his voice when I hear it.

‘Why did he call me?’, I asked myself.

You might think a mafia leader like me is the most deadliest person to live and isn’t scared of any living thing, but are criminals not allowed to have one thing that gives them nightmares? In my case, it’s Roman, my brother, the one who almost murdered me.

I may seem like the worst person to ever exist on planet earth but Roman is worst. He doesn’t bat an eye when he kills.

He tormented me for years and left after an issue and now he’s back, to continue from where he left off, but he is forgetting one thing, I am not that little brother he knew back then.

I am Nikolai Vladimir, a ruler.
