Devil POV.
“Sit down Devil” he says, we’re now in his office, it’s just me and him and the closed door, he looked as sexy as ever, why does the bastard have to be sexy, why can’t he be old and ugly.
“I’m good standing” I answer him, quickly.
“I said sit down” he growls at me, this time I do obey and sit down, looking at him, he just look at me, his eyes scanning me, studying me, making me feel for once uncomfortable.
“What do you want Nikolai?” I ask him feeling on defense.
“You took what’s mine Devil, you shouldn’t have done that” he growls at me again, that got the psycho inside me angry, he can’t have Elle.
“She’s not yours, she’s mine” I say angry at him, he can’t win Elle.
“Devil, she agreed to be mine forever, and I have no intention of letting her go, not ever” he informs me, but he can’t do that, he can’t have her.
“You forced her into that, she loves me and not you, she’s mine” I say hurt, did Elle agreed on being with him.
“Devil…you lost” he says, but I never lose, I always win.
“If I lost you better kill then Nikolai, I have no intention of letting her go either, if you let me go I’ll come back, over and over again to get her back. I’ll never let go, she’s gonna end up with me” I inform him, it’s what would happen.
“I’m not going to kill you” he says, rubbing it in my face, he won and he’s letting me know it.
“Why not Nikolai, kill me! If you win for real you know you better kill me” I say angry now, the words leaving my mouth were laced with poison.
“I can’t kill you Devil” he says again in the same cold demeanor, but that doesn’t make any sense why couldn’t he kill me.
“Put a gun in my head and pull the trigger, if you’re too scared just tell one of your men, or maybe sell me off back to the Irish, they must have missed me” I say trying to get him to react, to do something.
“I can’t do that either Devil” he says, that got on my last nerve, him being so cold and calm while I’m boiling on the inside, my anger issues got the best of me now.
“I said kill me! You son of a bitch! Just kill me, why can’t you do that! You want what’s mine, take it but after you kill me!” I yell at him standing up on my feet.
“I can’t do that Devil” he yells at me.
“WHY!” I yell again.
“Because of her! She begged me not to, and I promised her I won’t” he yell back at me, we’re now having a yelling match.
“Her?” I ask in a lower voice.
“Elle, she made me promise not to kill you…you’re free to go Devil but never come back again” he says, I’d never do that, I’d never let an enemy get away from me, but maybe for Elle I would.
“I’ll go, but I want to see her first” I say, if she’s happy I’ll leave her, if she’s not I’ll be back for her, I’ll always be back for her, I’ll never leave her.
“I’ll have to ask her” he says, I nod my head yes, if she doesn’t want to meet me then she doesn’t want to, but if she does, if she’s forced to stay here, I’ll take her back with me.
Nikolai left the room, he left me alone in his office, on any other day I’d snoop around, I’ll try to find information on him, I’ll sell them back later, but not today, today I wasn’t Devil the psycho, the hitman, today I was the person who’s in pain, who’s in love, and who’s hurt. It took them long, time always pass slowly when you want it to pass, it felt like years before they finally came back, it wasn’t just Nikolai this time, it was him and her, Elle, my baby.
She was as beautiful as ever, it’s only been few days since we were separated, but during our staying together, all she did was beg to come back, telling me he’ll kill me, but look at me now Elle, he didn’t kill me did he. She stood there next to him, holding his hand, tears were brimming her pretty eyes, her little face was all red, a pout on her lips, my baby girl.
“Elle” I say, this wasn’t the same meeting like the one we had the last time, that didn’t count but this one does, this time, all I want is just to hold her for one last time.
“I’ll leave you two” Nikolai says leaving us alone, he let go of her hand, landing a kiss on her lips before the room, my blood boiled when he kissed her, she’s mine to kiss not just his. He can’t just kiss her, I have that right too, once he left the room she turned to me, with the same red eyes. She came toward me hugging me, I needed that hug, the one that isn’t forced on her, the one where she came willingly to hug me.
“I missed you Devil” she says hugging me close, I took her scent in, she smells different but familiar in the same time, she smells like my heaven.
“I missed you too Elle” I say keeping her in my arms.
After our long hug, it was time to let go, I had to get used to letting her go, but first I have to ask her, to make sure she’s happy here, that she doesn’t want me anymore.
“Are you happy princess? Are you safe?” I ask my voice breaking, I was about to cry, I never cry, but for Elle I do.
“I’m safe, he takes great care of me, I…I love him” she says, the words, I only wished she said to me.
“I’m happy for you Elle, I…I should leave now” I say having to leave now, having to go.
“Don’t leave…” she says holding me close.
“I have to Elle, you belong to him now…” I say about to leave but she starts crying.
“No…Don’t leave…Devil please stay” her loud voice and tears got Nikolai back inside, he tries to pull her toward him, to get her to let me go but she doesn’t want to.
“I have to Elle” I say my voice breaking to, even Nikolai didn’t seem to be very comfortable with the whole scene.
“Why can’t we have her? Why can’t I have you both?” she asks, she’s going crazy, my craziness is contagious.
“This isn’t one of your stories Elle” I say, I wasn’t against polygamy, but I didn’t want Nicolai to feel forced to take me in.
“But it can be” she says back to me, still begging with her eyes, I shake my head no, although my heart was saying yes, for once my heart wanted to be with someone, or maybe some ones.
“Daddy…please” she says to Nikolai this time.
“Elle…. I…” he says, way to go Elle, making both of us go speechless.
“You can both have me, we can make this work” she says, she begs.
“Nikolai?” I say looking up at him, maybe I’m thinking about it too, we did have one hell of a night together, I don’t mind repeating that one.
“Devil?” he answer me, our eyes meeting, he’s reading me the same way I’m reading him, we’re both making a choice up now, if I stay, I’ll have to give him my loyalty, something I only ever did with Elle. But I’ll also get him in troubles, I have tons of enemies, and he knows it, he’s calculating the pros and cons.
