sex-me boss.

After thinking it over all night, the only thing to do was to go and see Dimitri and talk it over with him. Richard woke Virginia, who was fast asleep. He didn’t care if she was tired or not, because in his memory, he couldn’t see at all when he’d asked her to spend the night out mixing with a stranger, only to return at four in the morning.

-Shit Richard, couldn’t you give me two more hours? Why do you want me to wake up now?

-Shut up and get up from there, Virginia. You know perfectly well that I owe you a bullet in the head and the only way to get out of this would be to get up from there and get ready because we’re going to Dimitri’s house.

The name alone had woken her up completely. She could still beg Ricard to go without her, but it was impossible given the look he was giving her; she got up and went to the bathroom. She used to bathe in her sleep, but come to think of it, she had no choice at all, so this sleep that was bothering her was suffering for nothing, because she was no longer allowed to go back to bed.

Dimitri had had a busy week because, after having sent Richard away as he was determined to convince Finn, the latter had plenty of other things to do, he was taking news of his prisoner to Youri who was looking after her, and from his observation, she had again decided to go on hunger strike. He didn’t mind as long as she stayed alive. It might have looked like he was being mean, but it wasn’t his fault, since at least he was feeding her. Filing the documents on his desk, having spent all night studying them, he heard two knocks from the door and when he looked up, he saw Youri.

-You’ve been up all night again, Dimitri. Don’t you think you should take a vacation for a while?

-with all this tumultuous history resting on Russia, you’d like me to take some time off? and who am I going to spend it with? alone is even worse than boredom, so no.

-Does that mean that if you had a partner you’d take time off?

-just to please her if she deserves it, because I only give my time to those who deserve it. I don’t think you’ve come to my office just to make small talk, so may I ask what you want?

-You’ve got a visitor, Dimitri, and I don’t think you’re going to like it.

-You know what, Yuri? I spent all night, I mean all night, evaluating the data on this Cuban company I want to buy, so stop making me think because my head hurts enough as it is. Who’s there to see me?

Yuri hesitated, realizing that he was already on the verge of losing it, even though he hadn’t told her yet. He left without saying anything, because every time Dimitri stayed up until morning, his first punch was very dangerous, so he didn’t want to be the one to receive it. When he disappeared, Dimitri breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was having fun trying to play with him, even though he wasn’t in the mood. He too went out into the small living room where he liked to welcome his guests; Richard and Virginia were there. This kind of visit didn’t bode well for the rest of the day.

-You again, Richard?

-Me again, son, and this time I imagine you’ll only end up with me, but I’m here all the same. Dimitri, I’d like to speak to you in all sincerity and I’d like you to believe me, to understand that I could never deceive you.

He’d heard this speech before, and Richard always started his conversations with it when something was wrong or when he wanted to make a complaint. He nodded for him to continue.

-Finn refused to settle for a simple wedding. He wants the marriage to keep the peace, but the thing is, he doubts that Virginia is really your sister.

-And who wouldn’t, Richard? Who wouldn’t? You saw that girl you brought home to be my sister, a bombshell who can’t behave herself, and you thought Finn was stupid? No, he’s as hard to convince as I am. What did he ask for to make the wedding happen?

-Proof that Virginia really is your sister, he’d like his percentage of the inheritance, which is rightfully hers as a Savoski.

A nervous laugh escaped Dimitri’s lips as he looked at who he was being asked to give up part of his inheritance to, just for a stupid story. She didn’t even deserve it, even if it was just a fake. He didn’t trust her at all and to say she was going to get rich for nothing at all, no way.

-I can’t. We’ll have to put an end to this contracting thing and, above all, say good-bye to the peace treaty.

A sardonic laugh escaped Dimitri’s lips as he looked at Richard as if he were pressing the disturb button. He shook his head frantically, as if he wanted to get some sordid idea out of his head. He could feel his blood getting hot and soon it was going to boil, so if this man didn’t stop, he was going to put a bullet right through his skull.

-Listen, Dimitri, I know what you’re thinking right now, but don’t forget it’s just a statement on paper, because I know you’ll never let anyone touch your fortune, near or far. You’ll just have to sign and Virginia will have to sign too, that’s all. We were the first to make this marriage proposal to Finn and imagine if we stop now, it’ll give him a chance to sue us and rightly so because he’ll know we’ve just fooled him.

-Not necessarily Richard, we could also make your little under protection disappear and tell Finn that I’ve lost my sister? he said, looking at Virginia with a laugh.

Virginia shook her head in the negative like an automaton, silently pleading with him. Now two people already wanted her dead, she couldn’t accept that, not impossible.

-But Dimitri, tell me you’re joking. How can you say such a thing? Give in, I told you. You know no one will touch your fortune.

He was about to tell Richard again that he couldn’t do that when Yuri came breathlessly into the living room. He drew his gun and brandished it before Youri motioned for him to put it away.

-We’re not under attack, but there’s an emergency, Dimitri, and you’ve got to come now. It’s really urgent.

He left the room without asking for more, because he knew Youri didn’t trust Richard, and he’d never have spoken in front of him.

-It’s the girl, Paolo Fiodora’s sister. She’s getting worse and worse, Dimitri, you’ll have to do something, please; she won’t eat at all, and I wouldn’t want the death of a young girl on my conscience. We know she’s innocent, so she doesn’t have to go through this.

-But you can make her eat, no, I know you feel too sorry for her, Yuri, so just take a spoon and feed her.

-Of course I tried, but she pretended not to see me. Dimitri hurry up because we’re not monsters, are we?

-You could have given her a little spanking and she would have eaten. She’s a temperamental kid and nothing more. Now what do you want me to do?

Yuri looked at him wordlessly. He didn’t have the courage to say those words, because the man in front of him could be bloodthirsty at times. When Dimitri realized what he wanted, a nervous laugh escaped his mouth as he started to turn back.

-You’re asking me to feed a young girl who’s already going to university? For God’s sake, I’m not an idiot to be babysitting, you understand?

– she’s no good to you if she dies in that cellar. Just to eat and I’m sure you’ll take the opportunity to get something out of her.

Not untrue, but it was a truly impossible story. He wasn’t going to start feeding a big girl, but she was going to eat whether she wanted to or not. He wasn’t here to beg. He passed Yuri and went into the basement, opened the door and saw her lying on the floor. Her eyes were closed, but he knew she wasn’t dead yet. He took a few steps and crouched down beside her, clenching his fists and wanting to leave, but Youri, who was already there, shook his head negatively. It wasn’t at all like him to do something like that. He tried to pull her up but she pulled away from him and crawled to hide in the other corner of the room. She raised her head at him but didn’t look.

-Now you stop acting like a rebel and eat. I’m going to wait for you to finish your meal and be quick, because I’ve got more important things to do than keep an eye on a kid.

She didn’t move an inch and Dimitri looked at Youri. His patience had limits, and this girl was beginning to get on his nerves. Before she knew it, he was up and carrying her in his arms, leading her out of the cellar. She struggled in his arms, but Dimitri didn’t care about that. He wanted to show her a taste of what she’d be in for if she disobeyed him. After two minutes of walking, he opened another door and entered with her, Yuri was still behind him and was even beginning to regret why he’d told Dimitri about this.

-Youri,” ordered Dimitri, “bring him another plate of juice and water.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Kira laughed at him in his heart, for if he thought he could pull out his authority with her to feed herself in order to gain weight so he could eat her afterwards because he didn’t like bones then he was kidding himself. Just as it was with the one he’d just named Youri, she wasn’t going to eat and there was nothing he could do to her. A few minutes later, she heard the sound of a tray coming into contact with the table in front of her; she had no idea this man could be so obedient, and given how much his boss was ranting at first, it was only natural that he should act quickly.

-Now, Miss Fiodora, your meal is here and please eat.

It wasn’t enough, she wanted him to beg even more as he always wanted to show that he couldn’t do better than bark at people all day long. From the sound of his breathing, she could tell he was getting impatient. She wanted to test him, to see how far he’d go.

-Enough is enough. I’ve got better things to do than look after a kid who won’t eat. The way you’re behaving, I think you belong in secondary school, so I don’t even know how you got to university. Yuri now finds me his biggest phobia.

She looked up at Youri and began to beg him not to do it, but it was impossible because it was her boss’s order, and besides, if it was the right thing to do so that she could eat, then he was going to do it. He left the room and Kira began to tremble, but not to the point of being scared, because she knew it was such a personal thing and so he couldn’t figure it out.

-You know perfectly well I don’t give a damn about you. The day you arrived, you were so cute, and since my idea was to open an orphanage, I thought that day I could recruit you just to make the children smile with your cute face, but now you’ve turned into a monster, scaring the children away, you know.

She opened her mouth and closed it again. So he’d thought she was just a teddy bear for kids, and it was a good thing she’d become the monster, because no, her job wasn’t babysitting. When she saw Youri arrive with a tiny box, she squinted, wanting to know what was inside. When he handed it to her jailer, the latter opened it and smiled, increasing her apprehension.

-A spider, I’m glad to know that your biggest phobia is spiders, my little princess. What are we going to do now, put it on your arm? your head or your leg? or would you rather eat it? he finished with a smile.

She didn’t even know what was in front of her, but all she wanted was not to see that spider. When she still didn’t get anything back into her mouth, Dimitri put it down on the table and, strangely enough, it started to move in her direction. She cried out as she brought the spoon back to her mouth, only for everything to pour out over her as she trembled.

-Now that you’ve had a taste of what’s to come, I’m going to feed you just like you wanted me to, aren’t I, princess? Daddy’s going to feed you, and like a good little girl, you’re going to open your mouth.

She nodded quickly and Dimitri began to feed her. He kept giving her amused glances, while his eyes were fixed on the death that was still on the table. She’d thought he’d let her drink her glass of juice alone, being a big girl, but no, he’d had to make her drink it. After fifteen minutes, he’d finished with her, and even if she didn’t want to admit it, it felt good to have a full belly.

-Take her back to the cellar,” ordered Dimitri, looking her straight in the eye.

-I thought I could have my freedom back,” she murmured, as much to herself as to anyone else, but he’d heard her.

Dimitri was confused; he wanted to free her, but he couldn’t. She hadn’t done anything. She hadn’t done anything, of course, but he couldn’t, not until he knew what her brother was up to and, above all, why he’d cowardly abandoned his sister. He motioned to Youri to take her back to the cellar and hurried off so as not to see her sad or even crying.
