The Billionaire Mafia’s Slave

CHAPTER 19: THEY DON’T EAT AMERICANS

LILY’S POV:

After breakfast, I excused myself and left Nikolai and Irina at the table. I’m sure Nikolai didn’t notice that I was gone and I didn’t care. He was engrossed in whatever Irina was telling him and they were talking in Russia.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

I took a trip to the big empty building were he had those two monstrous canines.

Saturn and Mars still hasn’t warm up to me and I was still scared of them but I had work to do… to feed them.

When Nikolai is around them, they always wag their tails and bark in excited, but for anyone else, it’s a scary growl and threatening stares.

“You guys are just like your owner, always grumpy to people”, I said to them as I threw a piece of meat into their cage which was large and tall.

‘Well, he doesn’t seem grumpy to that girl Irina’, I said in my head and I rolled my eyes.

I threw a piece of meat in the air and Mars jumped to catch it.

“Good boy!”, I clapped happily. I guess this is the only form of entertainment for me. I don’t have my phone, he doesn’t let me watch the TV, I can’t play any games. I’m just like a prisoner, except I wear good clothes and eat often. I sighed

“He’s probably still talking to that girl, right?”, I asked the dogs and Saturn barked, I laughed and got closer to the cage.

“Don’t you dare bite me or I’ll definitely kill you okay?!”, I warned them, I just wanted to pat them. I reached my hand to put in the cage.

“DON’T!!”, I heard Nikolai warn and I quickly withdrew my hand. I turned to see him matching to me, rising anger and dark eyes.

‘God, how dark can his eyes get?’, I pondered. He stood in front of me, a head taller than me. I was short compared to this giant of a man.

“Do you not need your hands anymore?”, he asked in a deep voice and I quickly shook my head.

“Trust me, I wouldn’t even bat and eye if Saturn and Mars chew your hands into bits but I told you, they don’t eat Americans”, he said. I frowned at what he said.

“Isn’t that a bit offensi–“, I tried to say but he didn’t let me. He took a step closer to me and the space left between us was just for a layer of paper.

“I can come up with a list of things you could do with those hands of yours”, he said gave a provocative smirk. My eyes grew wide in surprise.

“Huh? wha– what are y-you talkin–“, I stuttered.

“Making my meal, doing my laundry, polishing my shoes…”, he paused and looked at me.

“Sorry?”, I asked.

“What else were you thinking?”, He asked me.

“Huh? wha…”, My cheeks grew hot.

“Are you blushing Lily?”, he asked faking ignorance. I quickly facepalm myself, my eyes grew wider and I looked away from him in embarrassment.

With a satisfied smirk on his face, he walked away, leaving the building.

After the incident at the big building, I took a stroll around the yard, came across a small fountain and couldn’t help wishing upon it.

I was tired and bored, I decided to go back inside.

‘Irina must have gone by now’, I guessed. I don’t even know why her presence bothered me, I mean it’s a good thing she’s with Nikolai, it’s the weekend and he didn’t go to work or have some matter to settle.

“Is Irina his girlfriend?”, I asked myself. She was putting on his white shirt during breakfast, her hair was untidy, her face red and she spent the night at the Mansion, in his room, ‘Did they do something together?!’, My face became hot with just the thought of the things they did last night.

I shook my head to get rid of such thoughts and went inside the mansion.

“Well, hello there gorgeous”, I got startled by the strange man who was in front of me.

My God he was gorgeous! He had a goofy smile, he was tall, about the same height as Nikolai, ‘No, Nikolai is taller’. Both his ears were pierced, he was putting on an outfit for hiking, making him look even more dashing.

“Uh, hi…”, I said to him. Even though he was handsome and had a friendly smile, I still need to be wary of him, he’s after all a stranger.

“You look even more beautiful from up close”, he said.

“Huh?”, I responded in confusion. Did this guy know me from somewhere?

“You know… the auction”, he put his hand to his mouth and whispered. I blinked in realization.

‘Oh, he was also present at that auction? If he was, then it is plausible he also bought a girl’. My demeanor towards him immediately changed.

“Yeah, the auction”, I replied and tried to walk away but he got in my way, I stared at him with a furrowed brows.

“Stop scaring her Ivan”, I heard Nikolai say, he was coming down the stairs with so much aura of power. He had on a black polo shirt that hugged his perfect sculpted body, his perfectly chiselled jawline was also very obvious giving him that look of a Greek god.

Then I noticed there was someone else with him, Irina. Ugh, thought she would be gone by now.

I folded my hands on my chest, rolled my eyes and walk past the strange man Nikolai just referred to as Ivan. I didn’t look at Nikolai or Irina, with head raised I was about walking past them when Nikolai spoke to me.

“Go get ready, we are going for a hike”, He said.

“No need. You guys can go without me, I’m fine”, I said with so much pride, flipped my hair and almost forgetting what type of person Nikolai was.

He told Irina to wait for him with Ivan, he turned to me and looked at me for a good 5 seconds, his eyes getting darker by the second, his jaw tightened.

“Do not test me Lily, not today…”, he said and I swallowed hard, “… now you go upstairs and get changed like a nice little girl, okay?”, He more like silently threatened me and I quickly nodded my head vigorously.

He moved closer to my ear, with one hand placed below my lower back, he whispered to me, “I’m just letting this one slide, there would not be a next time”, he said, this time with a malicious smile and I gulped.

I went to my room and saw the maids have already prepared my fitting for the hike. I quickly got changed and joined them downstairs.

“Great! The more the merrier!”, Ivan said happily. I saw Irina fake a smile and rolled her eyes. I was certain if she had a chance, she wouldn’t want me here.

‘Well too bad, I don’t want to be here neither’.

***

We set off to the woods which was also located behind the mansion. The three of them walked side by side and I noticed how tall Irina was, she was just a few inches shorter and there was me, really short and walking far behind them.

“Walk faster Lily”, Ivan said.

“Haha, her legs are wayyy too short for this type of things. You should have left her at home like she suggested Nikolai”, Irina said, saying Nikolai’s name so seductively, I rolled my eyes at her comment.

Nikolai didn’t say anything to her, he turned to me and saw me far back, he didn’t say anything and just continued with his walk.

“I haven’t hiked in a long time, don’t worry about me”, I said.

“We weren’t worried about you sweetheart, we couldn’t even care less if you get eaten by a bear”, Irina said again in her usual annoying accent.

“That was harsh Irina… Don’t pay her any attention Lily”, Ivan said, stopping to wait for me and I caught up to him.

Even though he stood up for me against Irina, I still didn’t trust him. I mean he was also at that auction, so he was just as awful as Nikolai.

Nikolai hasn’t said anything since.

“Come on Ivan! Don’t let this brat slow us down–“, Irina wasn’t done saying when Nikolai stopped in his tracks and turned to Irina.

“If I hear one more word from you Irina, I would believe you’re bored and send you back to the mansion. Understood?”, Nikolai warned and she scoffed, but I’m sure she wouldn’t bother me again.

“Now… say sorry to her”, Nikolai said.

“WHAT?!”.

“Huh?!!”.

Irina and I said in unison.

“You heard me Irina, apologize to Lily… right now”, Nikolai repeated.

We all stared at him in surprise.
