The Billionaire Mafia’s Slave

CHAPTER 17: KUKOLKA

NIKOLAI’S POV:

My hand around her neck tightened, I watched as she struggled for air. I liked as she suffered, it gave me a little satisfaction.

“Pl– plea…”, she struggled to say.

I lost it completely when she tried to shut me up, ‘Does she know who I am? I run the underworld God damnit!!’, I said in my head.

She was about to pass out, I know I needed to stop but I needed her to know who was the boss around here.

“You are dead!”, I told her, putting my second hand on her neck too, increasing the pressure. Her natural pale skin became paler.

Her eyes went shut and I let go of her, she came crashing to the floor, coughing and trying to get some air.

I squat to her level and held her chin up, I looked into her hazel doe eyes and I could see the fear in them, I smirked and nodded.

“I tried to be nice to you Lily. I thought you were ready for a little freedom, that you were tired of that little room, being locked up all day and night but I was wrong, that’s exactly what you needed… From now own, I am going to show you the monster I am, I will treat you exactly why I bought you for. Just keep in mind that you are never leaving this mansion… I own you. Is that understood?”, I didn’t need to ask twice, she nodded her head vigorously, eyes full of tears.

I let go of her chin by pushing her, I called in a guard to take her up to my room, I’ve got ways for punishing her.

***

I didn’t sleep all through the night, I had a glass of whiskey in my left hand and a cigar on my right. I kept playing back what happened with Lily.

I knew she was planning on escaping, I could see right through her, she was very transparent.

That day I told her I was going on a business trip at breakfast, I could read her body movement. Her eyes lit up, her eyebrows and lips twitched, like she just heard she won a Nobel prize. That was when I knew something was up.

I purposely relief more than half of the bodyguards that night and I didn’t go anywhere. I was at the monitor room, watching her every move.

My bodyguards are definitely not that stupid, they were trained by the best and toughest mafia martial trainer, I just needed them to play stupid.

I sip my whiskey and pinched my brows, even though I was certain she was planning an escape, something in me hopped it wasn’t true.

‘Fuck, I need something more’, I sighed and got up, I need to shut my eyes for an hour. My insomnia was getting worse every single day. Nate has tried all he could, the best doctors all over the world have tried but nothing is working.

I put off my cigar in the ash tray and drank the last gulp of whiskey in the glass and I left for my room.

Each step I took closer to my room, I tried controlling my anger if I set my eyes on Lily.

She and her father have been getting on my nerves lately. That detective guy is a hard nut to crack, he has been on my radar and I am almost gaining the Chief police on my side. I first approached him with money but he was so disrespectful, now… it’s to bring out his dirty laundries.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

I open the door to my room, walked in and I didn’t see Lily. I didn’t bother calling out to her because I knew she wouldn’t try any silly shit.

I took off my shirt and was about taking off my pants when I sighted Lily by the corner of the bed, folded herself and was already asleep. I sighed and went to her, I kneeled on one knee and took a closer look at her, I could see my finger prints on her half exposed neck, I clenched my teeth.

My hand moved to touch her silky hair, it was soft and shiny, I moved a part that blocked her face behind her ear, I could clearly see the very visible red mark I left on her neck.

‘Well, she shouldn’t have tested my patience in the first place’, I said to myself.

I carried her in bridal style and she felt so light weight in my hands, I started to wonder if I actually was starving her. I carefully placed her on the left side of my bed, her brows furrowed and she murmured something.

I got curious and came closer to her to her what she said.

“Mmm no… please no-“, I heard her say.

My eyes darkened and I got up from the bed and headed for a cold shower.

I turned on the shower and let it run down my back and butt crack, remembering with Lily said in her sleep, ‘or was she dreaming?’, I wasn’t sure.

I can’t believe I also tormented her in her sleep.

When I got into the room after the whiskey, I came with the mindset of punishing her, but after I saw her at her lowest, “Maybe some other time”, I said.

I got out of the shower with a towel around my waist, I put on a black shirt and joggers and went to bed. Lily was beside me and I kept looking at her soft features, black soft hair, natural long lashes, pointed nose and red pouty lips.

‘Stop it!’, I warned myself and looked away from her. She is just something I need to tame… and I will.

[“ROMAN!! Roman please help me!! Don’t let me die here!”.

“Uh– Niko I-I’m sorry I can’t h-help you, I have to go call for help!”, Roman said, running off and leaving my to drown and freeze over in the ice frost.

I struggled to get out of the bone freezing river but I couldn’t, I tried to find air but I was slowly sinking.

“Nikolai, I’m sorry but you have to die”, I heard Roman say.]

I opened my eyes and it was another nightmare… or memory from my childhood.

I sighed and got out of bed, opened the drawer next to me and took some sleeping pills. It doesn’t do much but it helps with the fucking nightmare.

I sat at the sofa that was right opposite the bed, that was meant for one person, me, I stared at the figure on it sleeping peacefully.

“I’m the master and she’s the slave but how come I’m being tortured and she’s sleeping nicely?”, I scoffed.

My mind went back to the memory I just recalled, I can’t remember much but it happened when I was 8 and Roman, my older brother, was 11.

I laughed at how gullible I was back then, I almost died.

My phone rang and I checked the caller’s ID, it was Galina.

I picked the call and rolled my eyes at the immediate whining.

“Nikolaaaiiiii… when are you coming to visit?”, she said.

I smiled fondly at the sweet innocent voice of my baby sister, I just knew my father put her up to this.

“Never”, I replied.

She pouted and made noises like she was crying, she was such a spoilt brat and I chuckled at her tantrums.

She was the only one in this world that can get a soft treatment from me. She is the last born and the most treasured, I always protect her from any monster and from this harsh world.

“Okay okay… in 10 years”, I said again.

“That one wasn’t even funny”, she said.

“Galina, do you know what time it is? it’s 3am and you woke me up”, I lied.

“Liar! You are always awake by this time, either working, spacing out or you just finished fucking a pretty model who’s probably on your bed right now”, she said.

Well, she was right and wrong, I was spacing out, I did have a lady on my bed but I didn’t bang her and she was definitely not a model.

“Galina…”, I called out to her.

“Mom really misses you too, create some time to come see us, okay?… and maybe bring home a girlfriend because from what I heard, Dad has already found you a perfect match”, She whispered the last sentence.

My eyes drifted to the figure turning on my bed and it went dark, I know exactly who my father’s pick is, Elena.

“Take care of yourself Galina”.

At least I feel better as she called.

“Bye big brother”, she said before I hung up.

If they was one thing I hate in this entire world, it will be marriage.

Why get tied down to one person your whole life when you can be with and fuck multiple people?

His dad has been pushing this marriage thing for a while and he knows this Elena, she is my father’s business partner daughter, one of the richest man and deadliest man in Russia. Him and my father go way back when they first started in the mafia.

I couldn’t sleep anyway and just kept staring at the girl on my bed, as she slept peacefully like a doll.

“Kukolka”, I muttered and smiled faintly.
