It took me a while to gain some courage and confidence to actually walk down the stairs, but I somehow did and I regret it.

As soon as I turned the corner to the staircase all eyes were on me. Everyone was there except the guy who practically assaulted me.

The guy who I now know to be Ivan, was there, a tall dark skinned guy with gray eyes and curly hair was standing in the kitchen, a tall beige colored guy, with light brown eyes was sat on the couch next to Ivan and a fair skin guy with dark brown eyes was standing next to the other guy in the kitchen.

Giving an awkward smile, I continued my journey down the staircase. It was to late to go back up now.

I didn't really know where I was going, all I knew, was that I was very thirsty and needed water, not tap water but filtered water or bottled. Yes, I know, but I was a daddy's girl, everything had to be perfect or both of us wouldn't be happy.

But judging by the look on the dark eyed guy in the kitchen, I'll rather just not.

"Oh, you came." Ivan said as soon as I walked up to him. He was sitting on the couch watching hockey.

"Yeah, well I was thirsty." I said self-conscious.

Ivan looked at me curiously.

"You can get water in the kitchen. There's bottled water in the fridge and there's filtered water on the refrigerator." He said, turning his attention back to the television.

Looking back from where I was standing I saw the same guy watching me. 

"Uh. Well I don't know if this is to much to ask, but can you get it for me?" I paused, "please."

Don't judge me . You have to be polite to get the things you want. Although I didn't really have to.

Ivan looked behind me for a quick second before saying, "chertov ublyudok," turning his attention back to me he continued, "yeah sure. Bottle or you know?"

"Anything really."

Except tap.

"Okay." he said getting up and walking away.

Not knowing what to do I took a seat on the couch. I mean I didn't want to stand in one spot till he came back.

The living room was a grand, spacious area with high ceilings and elegant chandeliers hanging above and LED bulbs in the ceiling. The walls are adorned with beautiful artwork, not much just four or a few more, and there was a cozy fireplace with plush sofas and armchairs arranged around it.

The furniture is luxurious, with rich fabrics and intricate details.

The room was filled with natural light from large windows that offer stunning views of the mansion's expansive grounds and garden.

I wish my house was this luxurious.

Looking outside the window, I wondered who was the boss here. Most likely it could be the other guy with the two eye color, or it could be Ivan, I mean who has the guts to tell there boss to calm down.

I only worked at one job in my whole life and never had the confidence to tell my manager anything.

Thinking about it, where is the other guy, I mean everyone is here so why wasn't he?

"Here you go." Ivan came back over with a smile on his face and a glass of water in his hand.

"Thank you." I said slightly bowing my head.

It's a habit I have.

Taking a sip of my water, I watched as a door opened to a room and the man stepped out.

"See you finally made it." He said as soon as he stepped out.

Everyone's attention was now back on me. So I just gave him a little nod.

"Anyway. I assume you've already met Ivan. I am Nicolas Alekseev, that's Angelo Volkov." He said pointing to the other guy next to me, "and the two guys in the kitchen are Damien Medved and Levi Andrei." He said with his thick Russian accent.

"These guys are not your friends, I am not your friend, we have no interest in befriending you, you are here for one reason and one reason only."

Didn't have any plans on becoming friends with any of them. But I'll keep that in mind.

He continued, "the faster you give us what we want, the faster you get out of here."

"So what exactly, do I have to give you?" I said determined to know what I have to do to get out of this place.

"Don't worry about that svetlyak, you'll figure it out." He said with a smirk that could melt iron.

I didn't say anything, because I didn't understand anything. It's best if I just shut up because I don't know what will happen if I say something wrong.

"Damien, Levi my office now." Was all he said before returning to the room he came out of.

So that's his office. Let me also keep that in mind.

When the door closed I watched as the two guys from the kitchen walk away giving me a consternation look before going into the same room Nicolas went into.

Turning back to Ivan and the guy who I now know to be Angelo, I gave a polite smile.

But instead of returning the smile they stared at me with the look of surprised in their eyes.

"What?" I asked confused.

They just shook their heads before talking amongst themselves.

"chto za khernya tol'ko chto proizoshla, chuvak." Ivan said.

"ya ne znayu." Angelo said, turning back to the television.
