Better Left Unsaid

Chapter 12

"What the hell were you thinking? You almost blew our cover the other night. Thank the gods that I was the one who overheard your little conversation." Olga spoke.

"Sorry, ma'am. He just didn't follow the plan. We ordered him to get them to trust him not fall in love with the girl." The Boss said.

"I'm the one who ordered. You only followed my orders. I know what he did and it's better that way. Ana is fooled, she told him a lot of stuff we can use for our sake. Now we need to end this quick before anyone of you idiots get our cover blown." Olga said. "Get out of my office. And do your thing. I want them dead by tonight. All of them." The Boss nodded and made his way out of her office.

"Enzo, gather the men tonight. The plan is in motion. Tonight this ends for good." The Boss spoke through the phone.

"You got it."

"Hey, what's on your mind?" Ana said entering the room.

"Huh?' Nikolay snapped out of his thoughts. He couldn't lie to her, especially since he knows now that everyone is going to die if he didn't so something.

"Ana, I need to tell you something," he started. "I-I'm not the man you think I am."

"What do you mean?" She furrowed her eyebrows at him. "Hey, are you okay?" She placed a hand on his shoulder and forced him to look at her.

"No. I need to tell you something. But I can't because I know you're going to hate me for it." He spoke.

"No matter what you say, there's nothing that can make me hate you. No matter what. You know you can tell me anything. But if you don't want to, you don't have to. We have a lot of time and you can tell me later." Only that you don't. He thought to himself.

"Hey, has Victor called today?" Helena came into the room.

"No, why?" Ana looked at her.

"Well, he said something about searching for schools for me. I can't stay at home forever." She shrugged.

"That's good, honey. He'll stop by later some time, you'll talk to him when he comes here." Ana assured.

"Alright." The door knocked a while later. "I'll get it."

"Olga, hi!" Lena greeted, hugging her tightly.

"Hey there, kiddo." She smiled widely at her. "Hello everyone." She greeted as they waved and smiled at her.

"How are you feeling today, dear?" She asked Ana.

"Better. The sickness has eased a little bit." She smiled, placing a hand on her belly.

"You take good care of her, Nikolay." She eyes him.

"Of course." He smiled at her.

"I'm going to get some snacks then, Lena, honey, give me a hand would you?" Ana said, carefully standing up and making her way to the kitchen.

"Of course." Lena followed her.

"So, Nikolay, how's work?" Olga asked.

"It's alright." Nikolay avoided looking her in the eye. "Actually, no. There's this something that's been bothering me. And i need to tell someone about it."

"Well, sure, dear. You can tell me anything. Feel free." A gleam of mischief twinkled in her eyes as Nikolay told her everything.

"Oh, dear that is terrible." She faked shock.
