Chapter Eight

Nikoli stared at her for a moment. She spoke with awe of watching their daughter growing up. In one way, he was upset that he had missed it all, yet in another way, her words were so descriptive he could almost see it in his mind. He was already half in love with his daughter and he hadn’t even met her yet.

“Then the older she got the more curious she became. She was reading at two years old. She remembers everything she learns. She’s already skipped two grades in school and she can make friends at the drop of a hat.”

Nikoli chuckled. “Then she must take after you. I was more a loner and I didn’t mix well with others. Most of the time I was better off on my own.”

Bella nodded. “Yeah, so was I. When I was growing up it was better to just stay out of the way and out of the limelight.”

Nikoli sighed. “Your father. We will still have to deal with him once this is over. We need to find out what kind of a deal he made with the Ukraines and why.”

“Why can’t we just forget that man exists? I don’t even want to see him again, ever and I sure as hell don’t want him to know about Malina. He didn’t want me from the day I was born and I don’t want anything to do with him. He might hurt her too. I cannot chance it.”

“Maybe he’s looking for his heir.”

“Then let his other children take their place as his heirs. I don’t care. I never wanted anything from him anyway.” Bella huffed angrily.

“But you deserve a piece of his empire,” Nikoli insisted “As his daughter you have that right as much as his other children.”

“They can have it all.” Bella shook her head. “I have nothing but bad memories from Chicago and I will never set foot in that city again. I don’t want mob money.”

“But why should you give up your birthright because you can’t stand him?” Nikoli tried to ask.

Bella wasn’t listening. She got to her feet and walked over to the windows. Wrapping her arms around her stomach, she stared at the city below. After a moment or two, she told him, “If you tell him I’m here I’ll take Malina and disappear. You will never see us again. Not even your best man will be able to find us. It will be like we never existed in the first place.”

Nikoli bolted off the sofa and came over to where she stood. Grabbing her by the shoulders, he turned her to face him. “You wouldn’t dare.” He growled.

“I would in a heartbeat and there would be nothing you could do to stop me,” she told him emotionlessly. “I will not have that man near her. I would do it to protect her.”

Nikoli gazed at her for a long moment. He could read the truth in her eyes. She would take their daughter and disappear and he would never see either of them again.
