The Russians Roulette

Chapter 7

"I see you've made a wise choice".he spoke gracefully while walking to the other side of his desk." Noelle will show you around the house"He stated signing the paper uninterest. A woman my height but with green eyes and jet-black hair walked into the office looking at the floor.

"This is Noelle she helps clean every two days here, Noale helps ms fisher feel at home".He spoke while still looking at the papers."Yes sir she answered waiting for me to walk with her. This felt stupid i "worked" for my fake fiance whose "dangerous" I just wanted to go home and pretend this never happened.

"You lucky"Noale spoke."Excuse me what do you mean?" she sighed "Well you're getting married to the wealthiest man on earth, Elon Musk has nothing on him and Mr. Volkove who supposably also feared you like the first lady of the underworld," she spoke softly.

"Right are you scared of him aren't you scared he might kill you or something".I questioned still walking down the long hallway. She finally stopped and looked me in the eye with a warm smile plastered on her face" Mr. Volkove has been good to me and my family this was the only way I could kindly repay him goodnight miss" she walked away.

"Get yourself ready we're going to meet my family this evening"a familiar voice called out

"No"

"Hazel I said get the fuck out the bed and get ready".he yelled from the door strongly trying to compose himself from doing anything rational ." No who are you to tell me what to do"I yelled back now starting to show anger around."Look Declan your workers or the whole world may be scared of you but I'm not".slamming the door to his face I walked back to my bed trying to process me shouting at him, knowing very well he could kill me at any moment.

Looking around the room my eye caught sight of the beautiful Red satin corset dress hanging in front of the wardrobe and high heels laid neatly underneath. I always used to window shop this dress with Alice. It wouldn't hurt to wear it one night. Now I felt bad, I have to go to dinner.

I swear the dress looked better when it wasn't touched by me and left alone. It hugged every curve of my waist leaving no room. After curling my hair a bit and some light makeup I walked out of my room and down the stairs he was looking at me like he examining me.

"Take a picture and it will last longer"I walked past him straight out the door. He didn't answer but followed behind me. The car ride was quiet between the both of us until we stopped in front of a gate  giving a code we drove past the gate reviling a well modern Italian-themed house we stopped by a greek statue pouring water into a fountain."A man dressed as a butler stood near waiting for us to get out of the car.

"Hazel try not to mess things up tonight, understand?" he laid his hand on my back and gave me a little push forward." Ah, you must be Hazel Fisher I'm Declan's mother Mrs. Volkove come in" she smiled. gave a little thanks and walked into the beautiful house, whoever created this house was a genius.

"I'm afraid that your father hasn't been able to join us this evening but Jayla is to arrive soon," she spoke as she lead the way to the dining room. It was clear Declan got his looks from his mother except she had a hint of green in her blue eyes."So honey tells me about yourself she asked pouring red wine into two classes and whiskey into another. Passing me a glass I finally answered "What do you want to know Mrs. Volkove" I smiled. I hardly know this man yet I'm talking to his mother.

"What do you do for a living dear"

"I worked as a kindergarten teacher until I recently quit"

"Why did you quit"curiosity grew in her voice." Mother please don't" he intruded kinda feeling uncomfortable. "Um I didn't feel complete I wanted to find my purpose in life I guess"I answered

"I'll be back I need to answer a phone call" he spoke walking out the back door as he answered the ringing phone.

"So how did you and dear Declan meet"? she asked sipping her wine"Well I was in vegas that time for a weekend and we meet at a bar and we spoke for some time and he made sure I went back to my hotel safely and we bumped into each other again soon and that's how it started I guess" I smiled.
