The Billionaire Mafia’s Slave

CHAPTER 18: GET OUT OF MY ROOM!

LILY’S POV:

I woke up feeling pains on my neck, I coughed sat on the bed, wondering which room was I in. I looked around and I saw a figure sitting on a chair facing the bed.

“Holy cow!!”, I yelled and he didn’t flinched. The room was dark so I couldn’t see his expression.

“I- I’m sorry”, I quickly apologized before he could get mad, last night still freaks me out.

I noticed I was in his room and on his bed, “Shit!”, I cussed silently before getting off the bed and bowing my head, I apologized again but he still doesn’t say anything.

“I-I didn’t mean to fall a-asleep on your bed, I’m sorry”, I apologized again.

The scenes from last night kept replaying in my head, when he rushed to me and grabbed my neck, saying ‘You are dead’ and putting more pressure when he saw me almost dying, there I knew what kind of being he was, the bad kind.

I was certain he was an assassin or some drug lord. I wouldn’t try anything stupid again.

He got up from the sofa and approached me, my breathe got stock in my throat and I moved backwards. I didn’t know what I have done this time but I couldn’t stand there and find out.

He stopped right in front of me and I swallowed hard. He didn’t look away once and he took the alarm clock from the table next to me and looked at the time.

“7: 12, great… Get dressed and come downstairs”, He said and left me standing there, he kept the clock on a table close to the door before leaving, that was when I let out the breathe I didn’t know I was holding.

‘What’s with him?’, I pondered.

I did as I was told without wasting a single second and I was already downstairs.

I met him standing by the main entrance, staring into space. I walked silently to him, took a deep breath and spoke.

“I’m here”.

“Follow me”, Without looking at me he said, taking long strides, I tried catching up to him with my small feet, making me fast walk.

We left the main mansion into what looks like a storage house, a guard was already there to open the door and leave.

Nikolai walked into the big building and so did I, a little scared.

‘What is he going to do to me in here?’, I asked myself. I was still pondering the situation when I heard barking. I looked to the direction it was coming from and saw two giant bull dogs running towards us… or was it me?!

“Arhhhhhhhhhh!!”, I screamed and ran behind Nikolai, grabbing his hands in the process, closing my eyes.

“Please don’t eat me! please don’t eat me”, I said. When nothing happened, I slowly opened my eyes to see the dogs were sitted peaceful in front of Nikolai. I raised my head to look at him and he had a cold look on his face, I quickly unhand him.

“They don’t eat Americans… too hard to digest”, he said and I scoffed and rolled my eyes quietly, but I think he heard.

“These are Saturn and Mars…”, Nikolai introduced and I looked at him in confusion, “I didn’t like them and they were all up in my space so I just gave them whatever name I could come up with”, he explained. He didn’t have to, but I appreciate it.

“Why did you bring me here?”, I asked and he smirked mischievously. My heart started to race.

‘Oh no, this doesn’t look good’, I swallowed hard.

“You are to feed them 4 times everyday for a month”, he instructed.

“What?! No! I hate dogs”, I quickly objected and that smirk on his face transformed into shadows of anger.

He turned to me with hands in both pocket, he walked towards me. I didn’t move, how could I? It was as if I was glued to that place.

“You dare defy my orders?”, he asked.

I quickly shook my head vigorously.

He didn’t say anything and left me there, in that spacious building, with those two giant man-eaters.

A guard was there to direct me on what to do, the dogs didn’t like me or the guard at all, they kept barking and growling at us.

“Fuck you Nikolai”, I muttered under my breath.

***

It was night time after a long day of feeding dogs and almost got bitten… twice.

I got to the room that Nikolai and I shared, As I gaze around the room, my eyes drink in the lavish decor that seems to tell a story of power and intimidation. The ornate bed, a symbol of his authority, stands in the center like a throne, its velvet curtains drawn back to reveal crisp, white sheets that seem almost too pristine for this place.

The walls bear silent witness to his exploits, his face frowning out from framed photographs, always surrounded by a retinue of associates. A thick, expensive rug lies on the hardwood floors, concealing the secrets that must have been spilled on this very spot.

‘Wow, why haven’t I noticed all these?’, I pondered. Probably because I didn’t get the chance to notice this things earlier.

I took a quick bath, scared that he might barge in a see me in just a robe.

I hopped in bed and fell asleep.

I woke up to a strange sound, I turn on the bedside lamp and turned to where the sound was coming from.

It was Nikolai who laid beside me, sleeping but he seems to be having a bad dream. His brows and forehead were furrowed, his eyes twitching and he kept muttering some words.

I put my hair behind my ears and got closer to his mouth to hear what he was saying.

“N– no… Don’t lea… leave me”, I heard him say.

‘Is he having a nightmare?’, I asked myself.

I didn’t wait to get an answer, I contemplated waking him up or just leaving him be. I don’t want him to get mad at me again but I also don’t want him to be stuck in a bad dream.

The latter won, at first I tapped him, he didn’t respond, I then placed both my hands on his shoulders and wiggled.

“Nik… Nikolai wake up–“, I said.

Before I could finish my words, his eyes flew upon and he sat up immediately.

He looked at me and frown.

“Why are you here?!”, He asked with anger in his tone.

“Wha–“.

“Get out! NOW!!”, He yelled at me.

I shivered at his tone and I quickly stood up, I didn’t try explaining anything to him, I just left his room.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Why is he so grumpy when he was the one who asked me to stay there?’, I pouted.

I had no other option than to go back to my former room, it was locked as expected, ‘Shit!’, I cussed.

I quickly went to the maids quarter and asked for the key, I got it and went back upstairs, unlock the door and went straight to bed.

I still pondered about the way Nikolai reacted, “What do he dream about?”, I asked myself.

He kept saying how they shouldn’t leave him. But who? His parents? Siblings or friends? Who exactly?.

“Haha, you sure have time to be thinking about Nikolai”, I sighed and laughed at myself.

I looked at the clock and it was pass 1am, I quickly went under the blanket to get an eye shut which was almost not possible as my mind was jumbled with multiple thought.

But eventually, after many thoughts and turns, I found sleep.

***

It was the morning and I got ready and went downstairs for breakfast, I didn’t expect to see Nikolai at the table, moreover with a lady.

She was sitting at his right hand side and I sat far from them.

“Lily”, he called out my name, cutting his pancakes.

“Yes”, I quickly answered.

“Take a seat here”, he gestured, pointing at his left hand side. I nodded and sat there.

His guest didn’t have a friendly smile on her face, rather a scowl. I didn’t smile at her either.

“Hi, I’m Irina”, She forced a smile and took out a hand to shake me. She had this Russian accent.

She was beautiful with a tinted red hair, pointed nose and a bold red lipstick on her lips.

‘But it’s the morning?’, I said to myself confused.

“I am Lily”, I said and was about to shake her hand, she withdrew hers and my hand was stuck in midair. She continued eating her food with a satisfied smirk on her face looking straight at me.

‘Oh bitch, wanna play? bring it on!’, I took away my hand and concentrated on eating.
