CHAPTER 35: THE STUDY ROOM SCENE
CHAPTER 35: THE STUDY ROOM SCENE
LILY’S POV:
It’s my birthday today and I don’t feel like going downstairs, I just want to remain in my room. I don’t want to hear Irina’s irritating voice and Nikolai wasn’t even back.
‘But seriously, where did he go to? Is he alright?’, I wondered.
A maid came to my room to inform me that breakfast was ready. I reluctantly left my room to go have breakfast, if Irina was there alone I won’t eat with her.
My face brighten when I saw Nikolai there, eating his breakfast.
‘He’s back!’, I asked myself.
“Nikolai?!”, I called in surprise making him smile, something in me was very happy he is back. I sat on his left side and my eyes went to the cake on the dining table.
‘Happy 24th birthday Lily? Wait?! the cake is for me?!’, I read the writeup on the cake in my head, feeling giddy that he prepared something for me.
I wouldn’t have even guessed that he would remember it’s my birthday today, so when he gave me a diamond necklace as a gift, I was skeptical in accepting it.
‘Which rich man gifts a common lady as myself a diamond necklace?’, I asked myself, I tried to reject the necklace but he insisted, saying he would grant me one wish since it’s my birthday.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“… nothing about leaving here for good or getting you a phone”, he addressed.
I thought leaving this mansion was what I so desired right now but after what happened with Olivia drugging and kidnapping me, I wasn’t sure of my safety outside. In the main time, seeing Papa was the only thing that mattered to me.
I requested in seeing Papa but he plainly refused me, I frowned at his response.
‘Didn’t he say he would grant me one wish?’, I asked myself.
“But that wasn’t part of the rules you set!–“, I was trying to play smart with him but he cut me off mid sentence and yelled at me.
“It doesn’t matter what the rules I set, you can’t meet your father and that’s it!”, Nikolai roared and I sighed, I didn’t flinch, I was just disappointed.
I stared at the box of necklace and I scoffed.
“Then what’s the need of gifting this to me… happy birthday to me”, I said and sighed, I just dropped the necklace on the dining table, then left without looking back at Nikolai.
I was back in my room, huffing and puffing.
“How can he make such promise only to disappoint me?! How dare him get my hopes up only to trample on them and yell at me?!!”, I vent out loud. I was already at the point of crying.
‘How could he do this to me on my birthday? Or should I have begged him the more?’, I contemplated in my head.
Oh Lord, everything is just so frustrating! I just wanted to see Papa on my birthday at least.
I laid on my bed and the tears in my eyes came down freely. I just want today to go by quickly, might be the worst birthday ever.
***
I slept and woke to the sound of someone gently calling my name. I slowly opened my eyes to see the figure that sat by my bed side, he had a sorry look on his face.
“Lily… hey”, Nikolai said softly and I frowned at him.
“What are you doing in here?”, I asked and sat properly, shifting away from him. I noticed the hurt look on his face but he quickly masked it.
“I wanted to talk to you–“.
“Can you please leave?”, I didn’t let him complete his words, he smiled bitterly and nodded. He stood up and sighed, his jaw tightened and he left.
‘Shit! was I too harsh on him?’, I wondered, maybe I shouldn’t have gone too far, he seemed hurt.
I thought of going to apologize to him but my pride was bigger.
I turned on the bed and groaned in annoyance, then I noticed a bouquet of flower on the lamp table. I took it and stared at it curiously.
“Was this here when I came in or did Nikola bring this with him?”, I asked aloud. It was a bouquet of rose and a note with it, I opened the note and smiled at Nikolai’s handwriting.
[ Lily,
I know you might be mad at me right now but I’m sure you will come around soon… Let me be your genie just for the day, I will take you to see your dad, but you can’t speak to him and he can’t see you… Happy Birthday
NIKOLAI ]
I felt my heart flutter and my cheeks get red. Now I feel bad about how I treated him just know, I smelled the flower and decided to go apologize to him.
I left my room and went to his room but it was locked and he wasn’t there, I checked the living room and dining but same, then I went to his study room.
I didn’t bother to knock and I just opened it in one go.
“Nikolai, are you– I’M SORRY!”, I exclaimed and quickly closed the door, I left the room even though I heard Nikolai calling out to me, I got to my room and closed it.
‘What the fuck did I just see?!’, My heart raced and my palms sweaty. I couldn’t believe I just witnessed Nikolai and Irina making out. They were sucking each other’s tongue and Irina’s hand was rubbing on Nikolai’s penis!
I couldn’t think straight, I suspected they were fucking each other but I didn’t know I would catch them in the act.
I thought Nikolai would come here to my room and explain things to me but I guess I was wrong.
Something in my chest hurt, I expected too much.
“Why would he explain anything to me, not like I’m his girlfriend or anything”, I laughed at myself for thinking he felt something for me.
I mean, this is Nikolai Vladimir we are talking about, he doesn’t do love, just lust.
Stupid of me to think he placed me in high regards after kissing me in that restaurant, not knowing that’s his style, he kissed a lot of girls that way.
‘But why would he do this on my birthday?’, I asked myself.
No wonder he brought Irina back, he must have been starving from sex and girls.
The scene of Nikolai swallowing Irina’s mouth was still fresh in my head, his hand under her breast, squeezing it and Irina holding in her palms Nikolai’s hard dick. I felt my abdomen clench in desire.
“Fuck!”, I groaned and licked my lips. I laid on the bed, facing the ceiling, I closed my eyes and imagined I was the one Nikolai was kissing aggressively like that.
I remembered the way he looked at me and kissed me like I was going to run away. He must have done the same thing to numerous girls and here I was, thinking it was something new. I scoffed at my self.
‘Are you forgetting how he almost raped you?’, My inner thoughts reminded me and I nodded my head in agreement. I really need to stop letting Nikolai get into my head.
That’s really what he was, a devilishly handsome distraction. That’s what he was made for, deceiving clueless girls like my type.
Still in my head and thoughts, I heard a knock on the door and I flinched, I instantly knew it was Nikolai.
“Lily?”, He called out.
“Come in”, I said and sat properly and cleared my throat. He came in and I ran my eyes over his body in just 2 seconds, he looks normal after such drama at his study room.
He sat at the sofa in my room and stared at me with those seductive eyes of his, I quickly looked away not to be charmed. I heard him chuckle and I was surprised.
“Huh? What’s funny?”, I asked him and he grinned.
“You… your cheeks are all red and beautiful”, He said and both my hands immediately came to my cheeks, covering them.
“No I’m not!”, I yelled, looking away from him.
“Why? Is it because of what Irina and I were doing in my study room?”, Nikolai asked and I gasped looking at him with eyes so wide, he had a satisfied smirk on his face.
