valentina pov

" valentina", he whispered, my name rolling off his tongue as if the word itself had been laced with molasses.

"Valentina", he said again. I hated to admit it, but I liked how my name sounded when it came from him.

"What is your last name valentina? Why are you here? He asked.

"Now, valentina. You are very lucky that I am being patient. But I won't ask again".

I nodded, but he continued.

" Let me introduce myself. I'm sure you heard my name. Xavier knight", he said

My body froze. No. it couldn't be. Oh god. My stomach twisted painfully and my vision blurred. Dread and honour filled me. I thought I ran away from dangerous men, but this man sitting in front of me was more dangerous than any of them. He was feared by all. The knight and abandonato had been enemies for so many decades.

And I was standing in front of the boss, who would kill me mercilessly if he found out that i was an abandonato.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm my breathing. think , val. You ran from one. You can do it again.

Opening my eyes, I met his gaze. "Valentina romanov", I said slowly. I wasn't ready to die. I ran away because I wanted a better life so I could finally be myself. So I lied to him by telling him my birth name.

" I have been living on the streets for a few months, and some men found me and forced me to sleep with their boss. So, I just knocked him down and ran away, which led me here".

Both of us stayed silent. Xavier moved forward and said " I have a deal for you. You have three options. One: you work for me. Two: you go back to the streets, unsafe". He paused as my body froze.

"Three: or I shoot you for trespassing," he finished. My eyes widened as I tried to think.

Option three was obviously not an option.

Option two meant being homeless, no money, unsafe, and very easy for Adam to find me. So....

"One," I whispered. His lips stretched into a full smile. "Good choice, Valentina, i am glad that you decided to work for me".

The way he said those words made my body freeze. He stepped closer so that our bodies were pressed together. "I'll make sure that you won't regret this decision," he whispered huskily.

"Umm....what.....what did you.....mean...by work? I asked quietly. "Exactly what it means..... Work", he said. Seeing my uneasiness he continued "my maids need a little help. You'll be helping with the cleaning and cooking".

"You want me to clean.. And cook", I enquired. "Yes , did you think I meant something else?, he asked quietly.

Yes. yes. I did think you meant something else. Thank god. Stop with dirty thoughts val.

" Shall we go?" he asked. With a nod, I paved my way to Hell.
