Chapter - 4 Stab

Nixon POV

"Leo, Behave." I warned my brother as I parked the car in front of Maxim's mansion. Leo scoffed like a kid.

"She was supposed to be my bride." Leo snorted. I glared at him. Well, what happened to the boy who didn't want to marry a few days ago?

"Now she is not." I growled. He started at me, with the same glint of curiosity. He knew, he knew that something crucial changed my mind.

"Will you guys stop?" Erik said frustrated.

"Let's go." I snapped getting out of the car. Maxim stood there with his men and Serena stood strong beside him. Her face was stone cold. Hot.  

Those same onyx eyes stared at me, so ferociously. Those eyes that haunted me, were filled with so much warmth but now it was ice cold. 

When I saw her in the middle of my hall looking around. I lost my mind. It was her. Those articles did no justice in describing her appearance. Her Onyx eyes shone, her long lashes framing them. She had curves in the right places. The long black hair and the lips. God!  She wasn't even wearing anything special!!

She was all grown up and so was I. 

She is a killer and so am I.

"Nixon." Maxim held his hand out for a handshake. I locked my eyes with Serena as I took her Uncle's hand.

"Maxim." I smiled calmly, my eyes still on his sweet niece.

"Let's get in." He said as he led the way. Serena follows behind, like his pet. But I felt her eyes on me. Her hand was on her gun, she was ready and too eager to put a bullet into my head. We went into the house. Maxim sat down on his couch as Leo, and Erik sat down with me opposite Maxim.

"So you want to meet your bride?" Maxim asked as he poured four cups of vodka. Russians. 

"I believe I met her already?" I stated as I looked up at Serena who sat on one of the chairs near the bar with her drink watching us. Her Onyx eyes bored into mine. She sneered at me. Fuck, if that didn't make my dick harder. 

A laugh had me turning back to Maxim. He sipped his vodka smiling.

"Serena? She isn't the bride, Nixon." His words had my teeth grinding against each other. I almost grinned at his confidence. Such a fool.

"What?" I asked, putting on a facade of shock. Maxim clapped his hand once as the door opened and a petite woman strolled in. She wore a royal blue evening dress, her face and hair done like a princess.

"Celine. Your bride." He stated. I laughed as I sipped my drink leaning back.

"Oops." I smiled as Erik threw a file on the table beside. I tilted my head for Maxim to read it. That woman in the evening dress stood there waiting for further commands. I turned to Serena to see her behind the counter as she went through the drinks. She started making her own drink, caring less, believing she was out of trouble.

Maxim's eyes narrowed as he read the file. His face paling. He slammed the file close turning to me. I saw his fear, and my whole body warmed up at the effect. I can't wait to skin this motherfucker alive.

It had all the evidence to get his ass into jail. For years and destroyed all his alliances and businesses. Everything goes into thin air if this file lands on the officer's table.

"What do you want?" He rushed the words out of his mouth, almost choking. I smirked at his vulnerable state. I lifted my legs and placed them on the table. I turned to see Serena glaring at my leg. She wasn't within hearing distance, but her whole attention was on me.
