Chapter Sixteen

Viktor

Maybe I shouldn’t have told Cora the story about Dimitri, but I want her to feel like I’m being truthful with her. Revealing some truths won’t hurt in the long run. It should help her trust me more.

I run my fingers through my hair, sitting in front of the vanity in the master bedroom as I wait for Cora to get out of the shower. She was brave going into the sauna with me, but I let her take a shower first so she wouldn’t get too worked up. I want her to be comfortable.

Seeing Cora naked was wonderful. Her body is even more perfect than I had imagined, something that genuinely surprised me. There wasn’t a single freckle out of place, and her butt curved dramatically on her backside. She’s the perfect woman. I’m sure of that.

The more I do with her, the more she’ll forget about her previous life. She will get used to me and stop being afraid of what her future holds. I wish to instill confidence in her, but Mrs. Johnson managed to put a speedbump on that happening.

When I went into her office, I quickly went through her search history. Other than the amusing amount of pornography on there, she had a lot of search results for my name, as well as reverse image searches of security camera stills from videos that had been recorded while I was at the Lauder Estate.

She was a curious woman, but one who I would want on my side if I could have her. However, I seriously doubt she would want to join forces with the mafia after having worked in a legitimate role for her entire life.

Mrs. Johnson was very close to finding out who I really am. She would have told Cora if she had still been at the estate when Cora returned home, but thankfully, I acted with urgency. My men managed to lure her out of the estate and snatch her up in an unmarked vehicle, taking her far away from here so that I wouldn’t be exposed.

I shake my head at the thought of someone getting that close to figuring me out. It would be too easy, but there’s not a lot I can do about it with today’s technology. I’ll have to keep Cora off the internet until she trusts me completely, which might be a long time. It may even be forever.

Jonathan Lauder hadn’t cared who I was, only that I had money. I believe that’s how everyone should think of me. I don’t exist. I’m simply a stack of hundred-dollar bills, available to anyone who has the things that I want.

Money isn’t everything, but it got me to Cora, and it will get me into the US government, so I’ll appreciate it for what it’s worth. The rest of my battle has to be fought by cunning, discipline, and a hefty seasoning of charm. I’m not so bad at that, as it turns out. Cora already seems to like me.
