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.

“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.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“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.
