sex-me boss.

Once the car had stopped, Elena hadn’t waited for the door to be opened, but had rushed to do so and got out without waiting. she had headed for the hall but hadn’t found Vlad and wondered where he was. She huffed and headed for the second floor. She had to find him somewhere, but when she arrived, he wasn’t in his room, which freaked her out a little. she thought he might be in Finn’s room, but when she got there, he wasn’t there either. panic overcame her and she was on the verge of a breakdown. She now regretted the reason she’d followed Finn in the first place, because she thought that if she’d stayed with him, something like this wouldn’t have happened. She was so confused that she hadn’t bothered to ask the staff where Gina or even Vlad were. She stormed out in order to tell Dimitri that he wasn’t there and that Paolo had certainly managed to kidnap him, but by the time she opened her mouth, she saw him coming from the corridor that led to Finn’s office. She’d already closed her eyes, but after one, two, three or even ten seconds, she couldn’t feel any body against hers, and that was already scaring her. She opened her eyes and Vlad was no longer in front of her. When she slowly turned around, she saw him in Finn’s arms… seriously. she couldn’t understand it. he’d walked right past her and into Finn’s arms, and even if it didn’t mean anything, she was already scared. she was jealous, to tell the truth, and she had the feeling that this man was stealing her thunder from her nephew. she crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Finn.

He hadn’t expected this welcome at all. He’d been scared during the flight, but his men had reassured him that the boy was still on his property despite his fear. He didn’t want to let on that Elena was worried enough as it was. When he’d reached the hall and hadn’t seen them, he’d concluded that they were certainly in his room, but seeing Elena return with a sad look on her face, he began to tell himself that he’d been wrong to believe what his men had told him, until he saw him coming from the corridor leading to his office. Elena had already opened her arms, which was why he’d buried his hands in his trouser pockets to let them meet, but seeing him pass his aunt, he’d realized that he wanted to be in her arms and hadn’t hesitated for a second to reassure him. He wasn’t trembling, but there was fear in his eyes, a fear he wanted to disappear forever.

-I’m here, champion, and nothing’s going to happen to you like I promised. Everything’s fine now, okay?

Vlad just nodded and Finn carried him. He climbed the stairs with him as Elena looked on in horror. She was angry with Finn because she thought it was all his fault. When she saw him return a few minutes later, she wondered what he was going to say to her to apologize, but he’d avoided her and gone out. unable to bear this ignorance, she’d followed him and found that he was taking their things out of the trunk. she was still waiting for him to deign to apologize, but no, he wouldn’t do it.

-You saw what happened, he left me to find refuge in your arms, something that never happened, so can I ask what you did?

-And what could I have done from a distance, Elena, tell me? We were good together in Cuba, weren’t we? I’m not a wizard at casting spells, and I don’t think your jealousy has any real place. The most important thing is that he’s all right now. Even if he’d ended up in your arms, I’d have no problem with that and you know it.

-Yes, but he was in your arms, Finn. Yours and not mine, so do you at least understand how I feel? I don’t think you really understand, damn it.

-because there’s nothing to understand, kid. are we really behaving like two parents whose child prefers one over the other? it’s absurd, frankly.

It was absurd, but Elena couldn’t get past it, and yet he was spinning it well. Dimitri was only a child, and if he’d managed to trust Finn so quickly, then she could only be happy, because he needed a father figure. She didn’t want the boy to start thinking that Finn could be his father one day, because only a contract bound them together, and as soon as he terminated that contract, she’d have to go away with him. She knew that when that day came, Vlad would be the saddest of all, but hey, that was life. To calm her down, Finn dropped what he was doing and approached her. He grabbed her waist and pulled her even closer to him, tugged lightly on her hair, pulling her head back, then melted onto her lips. It was a wild kiss that had somehow triggered something in their bodies and she was already giving herself over to him, but very quickly she remembered where they were and there was no way she was going to make a spectacle of herself.

-I think most couples solve their problems this way, so if you like, maybe we can solve ours under our sheets,” said Finn, separating from her.

Cheeks on fire, she didn’t realize that he’d really just given her a silent invitation into his room. She imagined he’d found something to distract Vlad so he wouldn’t be around, and well, she was tempted to follow him because she never regretted these moments with him.

Dimitri was satisfied with the new bulletproof protection he’d ordered, not because of its effectiveness, but because he was testing it on the new men he’d recruited, who didn’t really know the realities of the field. He hadn’t spent another night in Cuba after Finn had told him he’d be going back to Russia. He was there because he’d been following them, and if he couldn’t get Finn back then he’d have to do the same. As soon as he arrived, he received his order, and all the while, to the cheers of Yuri, he was traumatizing these young recruits for life. After all, they were going to have to deal with this kind of thing in the field, like taking bullets and maybe coming out alive or not. When one of his men called for Youri, the latter came out and Dimitri stopped his game. He was still wondering what was going on, but if it was Youri who had been called and not him, that would mean it was a story that was going to annoy him even more.

Krouto is here to see you, Dimitri,” announced his right-hand man.

He dropped the pistol in his hand and slowly turned to face him; the name aroused hatred in him that always made him want to spill blood. very quickly, he retrieved his toy and wanted to get out when Yuri held him back by tipping him backwards. he grunted to show his displeasure but the latter didn’t seem in the least touched, which made him frown. Every time he heard that family name, he remembered what Krouto’s son had done to his daughter, and even though she seemed to have already forgotten that stage of her life, he still wanted to avenge her by showing the little brat that everyone was not to be trifled with.

-I know what you’re thinking right now, Dimitri, but it’s not about the son, it’s about the father.

so he needed his services because he’d already refused to befriend those politicians who were the cause of the suffering of the lower classes. he’d come to their aid from time to time, but only when it seemed to be a serious situation. This was the third time Krouto had shown up at his house since he’d been appointed finance minister, and he didn’t want to see him at all. After what his son had done, he wanted to take revenge on the whole family.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

-Krouto, Russia’s most respected minister,” he said in an ironic tone that didn’t surprise the minister, for he knew how much Dimitri despised politicians.

-I know you’re not particularly happy to see me again, Savoski, but I’d like to talk to you. I need your help, please.

-which one of your colleagues pissed you off or which one is trying to double-cross you to take your place? i know how you work and i imagine you can’t stand the competition and especially the fact of losing this position. who am i going to kill this time?

-I don’t want to kill, and I don’t necessarily need you, but your men. I want to carry out a kidnapping, and I don’t want it to fail, because if it does, my reputation will be tarnished. I want everything to go smoothly, and I know you’ve trained your men for that, so I want you to help me.

Dimitri glared at him and walked away. He had no idea why he would do such a thing, and besides, he didn’t even want to know who. Youri began to follow him, and once he was seated in the hall, Dimitri asked him what he was going to do, although it was clear he couldn’t take part in a mission as banal as kidnapping.

-You’re far too important to me to lose you to this man’s whim.

-But first we’ll have to find out who this man is planning to kidnap Dimitri. What if it’s someone whose disappearance could cause us harm?

-I don’t think so. I’m sure he’s a politician like him, and if things ever get out of hand, you know perfectly well that I’m always in the clear, it’s Krouto who’ll pay, not me, so if you want his help, assign him some men.

Yuri nodded and left. He waved good-bye to Krouto and asked him to tell him when he needed the operation to take place. Krouto was happy, and Yuri could already see an unmistakable happiness in his eyes.

Days later, Elena had rediscovered her complicity with Vlad, although the latter demanded Finn’s presence more in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening. Finn often taunted her with it. He said he was busy and wasn’t going to be able to be with them, so Elena decided to go out with Vlad, even though a guard was with them. she told Finn she didn’t want to, but he didn’t listen. he was walking through the streets of Saint Petersburg when some porcelain caught his eye on the other side of the road. She asked the guard to stay with Vlad while she went to have a look. He had given in and as she watched in amazement, a car suddenly stopped and she was pulled inside. she had just enough time to see Vlad screaming before he disappeared from her field of vision. as quickly as they had been in that car, a handkerchief landed on her nose, knocking her out cold.
