Chapter 14 - Mila

Shaking the safety glass away from my hair and lap, I examined myself as best as I could. There were only a few cuts and scrapes on my arms, but it wasn’t anything too alarming.

Nikolai drove calmly down the dark streets, abiding by the rules of the road without batting an eyelid, like there wasn’t a man in the trunk. His gaze fell firmly in front of us, and he carefully took a lefthand turn.

I was riddled with shock, but surprisingly, I was calm. Truthfully, it wasn’t anything new to me.

I released an even breath and looked at Nikolai’s reflection in the rearview mirror. “Where are we going?”

Nikolai eyed me back, stare glazed with silent anger. Even in such a horrific moment, he was as beautiful as always. He averted his attention to the intersection ahead. “I’m taking you home.”

So much for that hotel stay.

“And after that?” I asked, hoping he’d tell me it wouldn’t be long before he returned to me. I wished Ivan would take care of the matter.

But Nikolai didn’t say anything. Silence filled the vehicle, and he only drummed his fingers against the steering wheel absently. That cold shield covered him once again, blocking me out completely.

I watched as many thoughts scurried across his eyes, but I only sighed and leaned back into the seat.

The rest of the drive was quiet, with Nikolai acting no more animated than a brick wall. Blankly, he turned into the condo parking lot and put it in park. He reached for his cell and tapped on it, but he never said anything else.

Then, after a few minutes, one of the guards came out of the building and approached the car. He opened the door and waited.

Not sparing a look at Nikolai, I edged across the seat, careful to not catch any of the glass shards on the way out. But his fingers wrapped around my wrist before I could leave. I met his hard gaze.

“Don’t open the door for anyone once you get inside. After I tell Ivan what’s going on, I’ll send someone for Anya and Rose,” Nikolai’s stare remained on mine for an extra moment, the only glimpse of him actually caring about me. “Trust no one.”

While Nikolai released my wrist, I was quick to grab his arm, holding him in his half-turned position. I whispered, “That goes for you too. I tried to warn you before not to trust my father. It doesn’t matter what he says to you, don’t believe him.”

Nikolai’s gaze turned to one of interest like he was prepared to question me further.

But a loud banging came from the trunk where the guy rapped his fist against the top. He shouted, and Nikolai grumbled as he tore himself away from me.

I got out of the car then and watched as Nikolai cursed to himself, striding to the back of the SUV. “I need to meet with my brothers to figure some things out.”

He popped it open, then knocked the guy out again with a single sucker punch.
