Chapter 10 - Sasha

I go down the stairs and stop at the edge of the living room with my hands on my hips. “Misha, have you finished your homework?”

He quickly sits up, turning around to look at me from the carpet, and by one look at his face I know that he hasn’t. It’s been just five days since Misha got enrolled in the local school, and he’s already slacking. I mean, it’s good that he doesn’t feel the pressure of Father’s disapproval, but still.

“But Mom, it’s Friday!” he pouts with a complaint in his voice. “I have the whole weekend for that.”

Oh, is it Friday? I close my eyes with a sigh and pinch my nose. Damn it. I’ve kinda lost count of the days since we moved here. How long has it been? Two weeks? Three? I shake my head and open my eyes. God, it’s been almost a month, and I’m still here.

“Alright, well…” I look around, trying to find a way to avoid admitting my own dumb mistake. “The sooner you do it, the better.”

Misha purses his lips in response, and even though it’s not the best behavior I’m still glad to see him being more lively than before. “But, Mom, I want to play some more. The Red Leopards have almost defeated the Black Octopuses, I can’t let it happen again!”

He pointedly looks at the whole fleet of ships and boats engaged in what looks like a fierce sea battle. Almost all of these toys have been brought by Louis, and you know what? It looks like a goddamn bribery to me. And it works!

Ever since Louis stole Misha to go on that damn trip to Navy Pier, the two of them have been getting along like best friends. And okay, I have to admit, it makes me happy to see Misha being more open and talkative these days, but…ah, come on, it’s Louis we’re talking about! He can’t just casually steal my son’s affection, it’s not fair.

I huff, trying to breathe out my frustration, and focus on Misha. “Alright, you can keep playing, but don’t forget that you have a painting lesson later, okay? Mrs. Lee is gonna arrive in half an hour.”

He nods, already diving back into his game, and I watch him for a few seconds before turning around to the kitchen. I know Louis is at home, but he’s been staying in his office for most of the day, and I don’t really like it. How am I supposed to know when he’s gonna show up? I’m not keen on bumping into him, to be honest.

Even after weeks of living together, I still feel tense in Louis’s presence. The sheath of my dagger is pressed into my back, secured under the waistband of my sweatpants, and it makes me feel like I’m in constant danger. Which maybe I am, I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like Louis wants to kill me, but I don’t appreciate the ease and confidence with which he handles me.
