I was waiting for my letter to arrive, I haven't received one in a while which is upsetting. I sat on the corner of my bed leaning against the wall my knees up while I leaned my elbows on them. I couldn't help picking at my thumbs, I felt really anxious right now. Something bad is going to happen.

My door opens and a guard comes in. "Your requested in the basement boss orders" what is going on. He grabbed me by the Arms and leaded me to the basement. Igor sat there with my pink envelopes. "Look what we have here, somebody seems to have a weakness." Fuck.

"This Delilah of yours seems to be sweet, really beautiful." He picks up one of her pictures and I tense up knowing now that he knows how she looks like easily tracking her down. "Get the water"

"Dear Nikolai, I miss you lots. You lied to me! You said the place was amazing how you made friends and you're enjoying being there. Nik why didn't you tell me the truth? Why don't you come back I'll have a word with your dad. Please don't get hurt." He looked up at me and tore the letter to pieces.

I feel myself slowly going numb. "Leave her" that's funny, I started laughing at him. How ridiculous. I got punched, I should know better then to laugh at the boss. "Women create problems, they're emotional and weak. You don't need any weaknesses in your life as the new leader. Leave her" I shook my head no way him fucking hell will I ever leave Delilah.

Over my dead fucking body. They tied my hands together behind my back and ducked my head underwater. I started struggling against them as my oxygen ran out I was pulled back by my hair and took a large breath of air. I was struggling to breathe.

"Why do you always defy me Nikolai. Now are you going to leave her. She doesn't belong I. This world and you know it. She'll be eaten alive the moment someone finds out she's yours. Then what you'll lose her forever? It'll be all your fault her death on your hands."

No. I can't. The punishments continued for hours, and still I wouldn't let the thought of leaving my girl. I was chained to the wall while the best me with whips. I couldn't handle the pain anymore I was going to pass out.

"Have we learned our lesson."
Come back to me soon please. Before I could respond everything went dark.

I felt light taps on my back I got up but was immediately pushed down. "Nikolai it's just us, I'm cleaning your wounds up don't move." I felt the warm dab of a small rag and hissed in pain. "Jesus what did they want?" Dimitri said.

"They whipped me, drowned me, they hit me they know about Delilah now. I suggest you keep Cynthia safe Aleksandr they wanted me to leave her, and I refused and you know how they get when you say no."

I laid in pain the whole day, I can't help but resent my parents. Why would they send me to this place, why couldn't my dad trained me himself. The twins stayed with me in the room, we all talked and laughed about the things our family would say was happening. I wish I was with Katerina right now, I can use her hugs right now.

"I'm happy, my dad is getting married. I wish I was there at the proposal though I know my presence would have made it ten times better." Dimitri rolled his eyes at his twin and smiled a small one barely there but I saw it.

"I wanted to be his best man but stour dad beat me to it. Do you think Delilah is happy? She's not bothered by it? Has she mentioned it Nik?" I hummed and wince as a tremor of pain hit me.

"She's excited Aleksandr don't trip. She's helping with the wedding arrangements, she misses both of you. She also got a new dog, I'm guessing nova is yours now Dimitri" a full blown smile appeared on his face. Fucker nova was my dog too.

"Thank god I was worried she would be mad. I miss her too her brothers as well and Natalia more. I miss the good food she would make us." Aleksandr spoke with so much enthusiasm, I smiled to myself knowing he still had his bubbly persona.

Time didn't stop. Months went by with no letters from her and I was losing hope day by day. Half a year almost passed when I finally received letters. But one specific letter shattered my heart.

Dear Nikolai,

Hi it's me Delilah, I know this is hard for you and me. But this is too much. You're too much for me right now. I'm so sorry Nikolai I tried, I really did. My love for you was real. What's the point of a relationship if you're not here with me? I'm sorry for doing this but, I met somebody. He's really sweet Nikolai you're gone and he's here. I hope you understand. I wish you the best.
