The Demon Diaries (book 2)

Traitor

Roman woke up to the worst possible news he could. His parents were here. Ezra was a traitor. Clarification his parents were here and found Ezra sneaking around. Roman couldn't believe what he was hearing. Clarice was complaining and wanted to have Ezra killed but Roman didn't believe it. He couldn't. He wouldn't do that to him.

"Are you listening to me?!" Clarice barked shooting a glare at Roman before turning her attention to her in-laws. "He's been zoning out more lately. Ever since Ezra and that harlot became friends with him. Even Nikolai is under their hold!" Clarice fumed stomping her foot like a child.

"Look at us when we are talking to you boy." Roman's father William spat raking his son with a disappointed gaze.

Roman looked up frowning at his parents. He looked like his father the most and he hated it. He had his father's blonde hair and skin texture along with his nose. From his mother, she just got her eyes. She had the same hazel eyes.

"You need to upgrade your security. We just strolled in the front door. What happened to the men outside?" William asked pulling a chair up to the bed plopping down on it.

"My security is fine. And the men weren't needed outside because our enemies don't know where this manor is. I wear a mask whenever I make contact with them so they have never seen my face." Roman answered sitting up in his bed. Yea they ambushed him in his own bed.

"Are you talking back to me?" He growled out giving Roman a look that caused Roman to lower his head.

"No sir." Roman whispered gripping the sheets under the covers trying to get a grip on himself. He felt like a bunny and they were the vicious foxes ready to attack.

"You gave your mother such a fright when she heard you were in the hospital. You need to be more careful." William spoke as if he cared about Roman's health. He just cared about his wife being okay and money.

"I'm sorry." Roman whispered keeping his gaze lowered. He was scared to look up. He knew he looked scared. That would only make his father mad.

"Nikolai refuses to let us take Kathrine so you need to go deal with that we will handle the boy." William stated as he stood up pushing the chair back to the desk. Roman nodded as he got out of the bed watching his father leave.

He pecked his wife on the cheek before getting dressed in a navy blue suit with a white undershirt. He left the room going to Nikolai's seeing two of his men standing guard. He nodded to them before walking into the room seeing Nikolai holding a gun.

"Get out." Nikolai said instantly seeing who came out. He pointed the gun at Roman. There was no way he was turning over Kathrine when she did nothing wrong.

"Woah. Relax. I believe you." Roman stated raising his hands. He knew they couldn't be traitors. He is good at judging people. And Ezra would never do that. Would he?

"Fucking hell. I hate your parents Roman. They always start shit. They scared Kathrine." He grumbled lowering the gun while Roman lowered his hands.

"Where is she now?" He asked in a low tone not seeing her in the room.

"I told her to sneak out the window. I panicked Roman! I think I love her." He whispered the last part.

Roman sighed running a hand through his hair. Nikolai noticed how tense he was and hugged him. Roman looked at him for a few moments before hugging him back. He needed to figure out a way out of this. Who knows what they were doing to Ezra.

"We need to go to Kathrine and find out a way to prove they are innocent." Roman spoke up as they stepped away from the hug.

"She went to her job. I know where she lives come on." Nikolai said heading for the door. Roman followed him silently. While he was silent his mind was not.
