Mafia series: Innocence

Chapter 69

Brielle's POV

Oh my god.

For some reason I feel like I have forgotten to breath. I can't move my body at all and my eye sight is getting a little blurry.

This man here he js...Nikolai.

I have seen him before and he never made a move on me but now he decides to. I don't know what else to feel other than scared.

When I met him the first time which was at the mafia ball. I knew his presence felt a little off but I didn't think much of it. I just wish I remembered him when I saw him again at the park.

I should have been able to since that this man was trouble I should have told Lorenzo about him as well because maybe I wouldn't be here right now if I had.

"From the look on your face I assume that you do know who I am." He says with a deep chuckle which only makes me sink into my chair hoping that it would hide me away from him and everyone else.

The maids come out and place our food right in front of us and leave almost as fast as they arrived.

I guess one observation I have made since I have woken up is that this man is someone who screams power and dominance.

Lorenzo does as well but his doesn't have this darkness that Nikolai's does.

He has a certain darkness in his icy blue eyes, the darkness that I am assuming to be his goal for revenge.

Elena, Niko and Nikolai have all been hurt by Lorenzo and they are using me as bait to get to him. I'm hoping that it at least works because I know Lorenzo will be able to get me out of here.

Or at least he will try everything that he can to get me out.

"How is your little boy?" He sends a smirk my way and I instantly feel anger running through my veins.

"Don't ever mention my son again." I say with a lot of confidence surprisingly, my voice didn't show any sort of fear that I was feeling in the inside.

"Woah there, I was just making conversation." He takes a sip of his wine before he grabs Elena's hand and holds it in his which causes her to smile at him.

Great, their together what else can possibly happen.

"Now Brielle I'm assuming you are wondering why you are here and I will be delighted to tell you why but after we have eaten."

There is no way in hell I'm eating this food. Don't get me wrong I am extremely hungry but I don't want to take any chances, they could have poisoned this for all I know.

"No thank you, I prefer we get the conversation over with."

"Are you not hungry?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed.

"No not really." I shrug as I push the plate away.

Good job Brie, keep your head up.

Yeah let's just hope it doesn't get me killed.

Nikolai looks at me for a few seconds as if his stare would change my answer before he begins chuckling. He then slams his hand on the table making me jump.

"I call the shots here, now eat." He says to me with a very cold demanding voice. I slowly take a small bite of food and it tastes fine to me. It's actually really good and I don't really care if they might have put something in it because I'm starving.

I look up to see that Nikolai had a satisfied smile on his face. So he likes to have control over everything and everyone.

Great.

"Now Brielle, I didn't want for it to come to this but it had to be done, I had to get you into my hands before your little husband decided to make a move on me."

"I don't know what you are talking about." I say truthfully because I think he thinks I have something to do with whatever it is that Lorenzo is planning.

"I know you don't know what he is planning on doing with me so don't worry, let's just call this a back up plan for what I have planned." He smiles at me before turning to face Elena and they share a look before he moves his hand under the table and whatever he did next had Elena let out a gasp.

"Now if you excuse us we have something go do with our time." He says as they get up before be looks over at Niko.

"После того, как она поест, отведите ее обратно в комнату и убедитесь, что за ней наблюдают охранники." He says causing Niko to nod his head in understanding.

(After she is done eating take her back to her room and make sure there are guards watching it)

How many languages do they know?

He then picks Elena up and throws her over his shoulder which makes her let out a laugh before they left.

Gross.

I take a few more bites of my food before deciding that I was full. Niko then leads me back to the room that I am apparently staying in just when I thought it was better than the basement I see two guards outside the door.

Guess I'm still in some sort of cage. I enter the room and the two guards close the door after I have enter. Now that I'm finally alone I begin to overthink and worry myself more than I already was.

I have no idea what Nikolai's planning to do with me to get Lorenzo's attention but from the looks of it whatever it is it's not good.

I can't help but think about Leon this is the longest that we have ever been away from each other and I don't know how he is doing and it's killing me.

I'm scared that there is a chance I might never see him again, I don't know what to do in this situation. All I know is that for some reason everyone here hates me so there is no hope for one of them to help me escape.

I just want to be back with Leon and watch his favorite shows and movies. Does Lorenzo even know that I'm not at the house and if he does what does he think happened.

I look around the room to see that there was a bag on the dresser and once I make my way to it and open it I find some outfits.

Well at least I have some clothes to wear.

I pull out a plain black hoodie and some sweat pants and quickly change into them before crawling into the bed.

I want to go to sleep because I am extremely tired and I'm happy that I'm not in the basement naked anymore but I don't trust anyone here to actually sleep.

I don't know what kind of things they would do.

I really want to know Nikolai's plans for me because I don't think I can do this guessing game with him much longer.

God I miss Lorenzo.
