Chapter 38
NIKOLAI
I can’t even feel the pain from yet another puncture wound from Mila as I watch her run from me.
I’m not chasing her. Not now that I have something that can lead me to the truth.
I’ll be back for her.
But, her confession has thrown me. Not that I can believe her completely, but no one can act that well. I really think she would let me kill her.
Whatever she has to do must be important, and I fully intend to find out what the hell it is.
Pulling out the drive from my back pocket, I call Alexei, resting the cell against my shoulder as I slowly pull the blade from my flesh.
Fuck. That hurts like a motherfucker.
Again. She missed anything important. She could have sliced my throat. She doesn’t want me dead.
I can’t stop this mission until I find out her motives.
That way, I can fall back out of love with her.
“You got her?” he says as it connects.
“No. I have something better. Bring the car around to the front gates.”
