Chapter Sixteen

Katya

After Nikolai had stormed out of the restaurant it took everything in me to stay in my seat and not go after him. Viktor smiled as the door slammed closed and his rich blue eyes had washed over everyone at the table, perhaps seeing my family in a different light for the first time.

Nik’s date, if you could call her that because she looked more like a cheap hooker, excused herself and left abruptly, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

My father’s face was filled with fury and I heard him talking to our security, Nik’s name on his lips. Family or not, it was going to take a lot to get back in his good books. Both Nik and I had fucked up today and pissed Father off in more ways than one, and I needed to make amends for at least my part of it. A tiny ache in my chest wanted to repair things for Nik as well, but my efforts on his behalf would mean less than nothing to my father.

A man had to answer for his own crimes, great or small. It was the Bratva way.

The only thing I could do was focus on myself. On being the perfect princess for this evening and entertaining the idea of marriage to a complete stranger.

Besides, if I was going to be forced to marry anyone, Viktor actually wasn’t that bad a choice. Tall, muscular, attractive, rich, powerful. He hit all the right spots, and I stared at his hands, wondering what they would feel like on my body. Could I kiss his mouth forever? Was he as large everywhere?

“If you’ll excuse us, I’d like to take Katya for a walk alone,” Viktor spoke to my father, though he glanced at my mother for approval too.

Unsurprisingly, I wasn’t asked, and my body bristled with annoyance. It was already beginning…my lack of existence as I was absorbed into a man’s importance.

“Of course,” my father replied, standing to shake Viktor’s hand. He gave me a cursory glance, a warning to behave myself. I had been a good girl all night. Polite, enthusiastic, endearing myself to Viktor in every possible way. Anything to make my father happy with me again.

I guess I was still a daddy's girl deep down.

I stood up, giving a polite smile to everyone at the table. Alex and Marisha had been sickeningly in love all night with googly eyes for only each other. My mother however, had been watching me carefully, and I’d caught her frowning more than once as she’d watched me talking with Viktor.

It was nearly impossible to fool my mother.

Viktor put his hand on my lower back and guided me out of the room. “I thought we could go for an evening walk along the beach.”

A waiter was outside holding a silver tray with two glasses and a bottle of champagne on it for us and Viktor took the glass and bottle in his hands and nodded his thanks.

“A champagne fueled beach walk?” I asked. “Well, it’s not like there’s much else to do around here.
