The Billionaire Mafia’s Slave

CHAPTER 82: SNAP YOUR NECK

NIKOLAI’S POV:

Conversing with Lily about my childhood trauma was surprisingly calming. I thought I wouldn’t be able to relive what happened two decades ago or tell anyone, especially someone dear to my heart as Lily. I didn’t want her to know I was once weak and careless in trusting my brother but I was wrong.

Lily listened to everything I said without interrupting me and I couldn’t help but fall deeper in love with her.

I was expecting father to call Roman and I to address what happened but he didn’t, mother was heartbroken over our fight as usual and Galina… I can’t help but feel sorry for her.

‘Maybe now they will believe me about Roman and what he did to me’, I gritted my teeth.

I didn’t want to keep Lily confined in this room but I had too, for her own safety after Roman threatened me with her. I can not imagine what Roman would do to hurt her and I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if something horrible were to happen to Lily.

I assigned a maid to serve us breakfast, lunch and dinner in our room and whatever Lily would need.

It was one of those days and we were both in our room, I feel bad for keeping her in here without any means of entertainment. I’m always here to keep her company but she needs more. I still haven’t gotten her a phone and I will get her one, but for now, she needs some sunlight.

“Lily”, I called out to her.

“Hm”, She responded absentmindedly as she folded her dresses.

“I need to get something real quick, I’ll be back”, I told her and she turned to face me.

“What are you going to get?”, She asked.

“It’s a surprise”, I grinned at her and got dressed, took the car keys and left after giving her a forehead kiss.

As I drove down the highway, I activated the car’s Bluetooth system and dialed Richie’s number using the steering wheel controls. The phone paired seamlessly and Richie’s voice came through the car’s speaker.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“If it isn’t the famous rebel, Nikolai Vladimir! I thought you died”, Richie commented and I chuckled.

Richie is an old friend and a fashion god. His mother is Russian and father, an American. I have known him since college and he is an expert in the field of fashion for women.

“Well, I’m breathing”, I replied and he laughed. It has been years since I reached out to him and I wasn’t bothered, neither was he. All my friends were used to me.

“What is it you need, it must be an emergency since you called me”, He said and I smirked to myself.

“I need a dress”.

“For you?! Nahh, I sell for only ladies… except you’re now a crossdresser?”, He uttered and I sighed.

Richie is gay and he came out back in college, he was into ladies fashion and sometimes dressed as a woman, he wasn’t ashamed when people talked about him.

We were never close not until last days in college when he was almost beaten up by a group of men for dressing ‘weird’, Ivan and I stepped in and helped him.

“Not for me dumbass!”, I replied.

“For who then? Galina? Mama?”, He threw series of questions and I sighed, pinching the space between my brows.

“My girlfriend”, I said and there was silence on the other end, “Richie–“, I called out and he interrupted me.

“You and Elena are back together?! I thought that was a closed chapter–“, Richie commented and it was my turn to cut him off.

“Never!… It is for my girlfriend, Lily”, I said and a small smile came to my lips when I said her name.

“Lily? An American…”, Richie said, not like a question, more like a statement, “… wow, I need to meet her–“, He continued.

“No!”.

“Oh calm down. I’m gay, remember?”, He said while laughing and I sighed, I won’t take chances.

I went on to tell him about the type of dress I need, something nice for a dinner date but really elegant and he said to meet him in his fashion house.

I went there and after a serie of rejected dresses, I settled for a blue Zara dress.

“You have made the right choice Mr Nikolai, this is a limited edition Zara dress”, Richie said and I smiled, imagining Lily in it and when I slowly take it off her body… or should I rip it off?

I swallowed hard on my own thoughts.

“I also need a black heel”, I said to Richie.

I also got a black heels to go and Richie had his worker package it for me then I left.

I walked to my car and a saw a flower shop right across Richie’s fashion house. It was the bright lilies that caught my eyes and I smiled to myself.

I went to the flower shop and got a big bouquet for Lily.

‘Lilies for Lily’, I said in my head and chuckled to myself, I would say that to Lily.

As I drove back to the mansion, I kept taking glances at the flower and smiling to myself then a thought popped to my head.

‘I need to get Lily a phone’, And I wasn’t worried if she would call anyone or her dad, I think she should as we would be seeing him so.

I couldn’t imagine how happy she would be to see her father again after more than a year. I feel bad about how I treated her in the past, the things I said to her, for locking her up, for hurting her. I promise to make things right, starting with this date.

After talking to Lily about my forbidden past, I strangely feel more vulnerable with her, in a good way. I was suddenly not scared to show her my life and share it with her, I will also protect her from any future tragedy.

***

I got back to the mansion and headed upstairs, Anastasia was all dressed and going somewhere and as usual, I ignored her and walked by her.

“Flowers? For who?”, She asked and I didn’t respond, just kept on walking.

“It looks expensive… don’t tell me there are for that girl, the bitchy American–“, She commented and like a blink of an eye, I grabbed her by the neck and slammed her to the wall. I made sure the flowers wasn’t crushed as it was neatly secured in my left hand.

“No– Niko…”, She struggled and I increased my strength. You could see the veins popping from her forehead and her face all red.

No one was at the hallway and I could easily snap her neck but I feel bad for my aunty.

“You do know that the only reason I am patient with you is not because we are family… it’s because of my poor aunty, your mother. But I might one day forget that piece of information and just snap your neck in your sleep”, I growled and her eyes moved with fear.

Anastasia was an easy kill for me and I have had numerous. She was stepping on my toes each passing day and I always let it slide but right now, she was messing with Lily and that wasn’t an option.

I am aware she was acting this way based on what Elena fed her but she was a fool for believing whatever garbage Elena told her.

“Ple– let… g-go”, She struggled to say. My teeth tightened and my eyes grew redder with anger. She was pleading but I enjoyed her struggles but I immediately let go of her neck and she came crashing down.

I ran my fingers through my hair and took a deep breath in, trying to suppress that taste for blood, it has been a while I tortured someone.

“Get up and get lost”, I said to her and she flinched. She picked herself and left in a rush.

I breathe in again to calm myself before walking into the room and I saw Lily… a huge smile played on my lips and I was a million times calmer seeing her. She was like my drugs, my air.

I never thought I would get to this level where a lady would be my reason for breathing.
