the abused wife of the Mafia King

chapter18

I couldn’t understand Nicolas’s change of behavior. In the morning he tried to make love to me, which made me want him even more, but during breakfast, he acted like I was nothing to him.

True to his time, Long arrived just after Nicolas left, and on our way, I got to know Long even better.

He was expressionless but after a few moments together, I could see him smiling a bit more with me and making conversation.

“So Long, what does Nicolas like to eat, I want to make him something he likes for dinner?”, I asked Long as we continued to drive to the company.

“Um, Nicolas likes pasta and garlic bread”, he replied to me, looking through the rear-view mirror.

“Oh great, I will make pasta for dinner, why don’t you join us as well?” I asked him and he smiled,

“I would love to join you guys”, he replied.

“Long, did Nicolas say if he was angry with me?”, “He told me that he will be the one to take me to the company?”, I asked him, looking sad.

“No, I don’t think he is angry with you, he just has a lot on his mind, being the heir of Black Lion isn’t an easy role”, Long replied with a smile.

“Oh I am glad, but maybe we can do something special for him to ease his tension”, I said, as I thought of ways to release a bit of his workload.

We continued to talk and chat on our way to the company.

We reached this big 80-story building that was magnificent from out, with black windows, a clean entrance and everything was plated black and gold.

Long walked us inside and we went to level 75, where he had his office, Nicolas's office, and my office, No one else was upstairs except us.

“Why, is no one else on this level?”, I asked Long as we walked around the space.

“Well you see, Nicolas doesn’t like crowded spaces so, it's usually me and him on this level, and since you are an important person here, your office will be up here as well”, he replied as he walked towards my office.

It was a great designed room, with an expensive black and gold marble table, with a black computer and a phone, and on the side, he had a little art studio and a big massive table on the other side of the room for my Architect designing.

“This room is beautiful Long”, I said excitedly as I walked inside and touched the surface of all the tables.

“I organized it, but if there is anything you want to change, then let me know and I will change it”, he said as he turned my chair for me and motioned for me to sit.

Just as I was about to walk to the chair, I got a painful ping of pain in my chest. And my heart started racing.

Long saw me holding my heart in pain, so he ran towards my side and came to support me to sit down.

“What happened?’ he asked worriedly.

I don’t know why, but all I could think about was Nicolas at that moment so I thought he was in trouble.

“Brother Long, Can you call Nicolas and make sure he is okay?”, I asked him, but he looked at me in confusion.

“I have this feeling that he is not okay, can you please check in with him?”, I asked again, holding my chest.

Seeing me insist on Nicolas, he picked up his phone and called Nicolas, but he didn’t answer.

“Can I borrow your phone to call him?”, Long asked me and I nodded at him.

Long continuously called Nicolas but he was not responding.

I looked At Long, and said, “Brother Long, Can you take me to Nicolas, I need to make sure he is okay, I am having this gut feeling that he is not okay”, I asked him, as tears started running down my cheeks.

Seeing me break down and in pain, Long picked me up by my hands and headed towards the parking.

We set in the car and headed towards his house.

“Long, how long will it take us to get there?”, I asked him as I held my chest that was paining me.

“Hey, do you want me to take you to the hospital first and then we check on Nicolas?”, he asked as he looked at me worriedly.

“No brother Long, I need to make sure he is fine first”, I insisted.

We drove to this big mansion with a big black Lion written on the front door. We drove inside and we reached this big black mansion that I’ve only seen in movies.

We ran inside and Long said his room was upstairs, I ran as fast as I could and once we checked his bedroom, he was not in there, nor was he in his office.

I started to sob gently, just thinking about something happening to him, when I heard a noise coming from a room at the very end of the corridor.

I left Long behind and went towards the room. I opened it and I saw things I shouldn’t have seen.

Nicolas had a girl, whose hands were tied behind her, and she had marks on her back, he was holding on to two ends of a rope that he was inside her mouth, pulling her head back as he furiously thrust himself inside her.

She was crying and begging for, through the ball, but Nicolas was a monster at that moment.

Once his eyes encountered mine, he froze. You could see the relief in the girl’s eyes. I stared into his eyes, searching for the guy who I met last night. There he was, but he wasn’t the same guy.

This guy was more ruthless.

Tears started running down my cheeks and I couldn’t even lift my hands to wipe them off.

I regained my strength and ran as fast as I could, leaving Long shocked in the hallway as I passed him sobbing.

The pain in my chest increased and just as I reached the bottom of the stairs outside, everything went dark. I wasn’t able to see where I was going until my face came in contact with a hard cold floor.
