Nikolai POV.
“I love you idiot” those were Devil’s words, if anyone said that to me I’d beat their bum, if Elle did that I’d teach her how to respect me, as her dom. But when they come from Devil I was actually happy to hear those, my little demon loves me, and the thing is I love her back, she’s the spice I need in my life, she’s crazy but the fun kind of crazy, she adds life to my darkness while Elle brings on the light. They are what my life been missing I can’t imagine living without them both, I need them both now, I can’t imagine life with one or without the other.
The cold war on the streets, we’re messing with each other, we’re killing each other, calling the police, messing with the shipments. But it won’t stay like this forever, we’re going to have to deal with it soon, one of us have to leave or die, the territory can’t stay divided by the two of us, one of us are going to have to die or leave. Devil wants to help me now, I can’t let her get in troubles, I can’t live with that, she had some crazy ideas, she’s good with this thing, she’s a real psycho, but one who knows how to deal with a war.
“Are you dealing with just Irish? I didn’t know they are this strong” she tells me.
“They aren’t, someone else is helping them” I say not minding to share information with her anymore, she’s smart enough to help us find a solution.
“Whoever is helping them is the real enemy, if you find that you’ll win the war” she says, well she’s right.
“We’ve been trying to find out whom they working with for too long but they are smart” I tell her.
“Have you ever asked Elle to tell you a story?” she asks all of the sudden.
“What?” I ask her.
“You’re dating a writer, the best part of it is to tell her to tell you a story” she says with a smile.
“Should I go get Elle to tell me a story?” I ask her after a minute.
“No I would” she says with her smile but doesn’t say anything yet.
“What’s your story Devil?” I ask her.
“The Irish messed with me, Nikolai, the jerk, he broke my heart, we broke up, the girl, I don’t care about a weakness like her. Now do tell me what’s it you need to help kill that Russian spy?” she says with disgust, if I didn’t know her, fi we didn’t agree on this I would have believed her lie.
“You’re way too good at this, you sure you are lying?” I ask with a raised brow.
“Oh honey, I was born a liar” she says with an evil smile, my little demon.
“What do you want us to do here little demon?” I ask her, I know she’s a good liar for sure, but is she going to betray me?
“I’ll say I’m ready to betray you, I have no loyalties ask anyone” she says with a big smile, few days ago she said she loves me.
“You want to betray me?” I ask her raising a brow, knowing she doesn’t.
“No but they wouldn’t know that, I’ll be a spy for you” she says, she offers, but I wasn’t going to put her in danger.
“No! Forget it Devil!” I say in a firm voice making her pout, she’s not going to win this, not this time.
“You have any better plans! What if they really got to Elle! You want her to get hurt?” she says.
“They won’t get to Elle, if I lose, take her and run” I order her again, I wasn’t joking here, she got to take her and leave, keep Elle safe.
“Nikolai we aren’t losing you here!” she says on the verge of tears, I never saw her crying, or on verge of tears, I didn’t like this.
“Find another plan not this one!” I say angrily, she get angry at me, she huffs, she puffs and leave my office. I’m trying to stay home where it’s safe, where I can keep my girls safe, where I know I can plan the war.
This war isn’t going well, Devil is still angry at me, she’s not happy at me saying no to her, the war is getting worse with every day, with every moment things are going worse. Elle was still in the blind side to everything, we didn’t tell her what’s going on, we didn’t want to scare her, she knew something was wrong, but I and Devil agreed on keeping it a secret so far. Helena is going with her to work every day, she’s keeping her safe along with Paul, we didn’t want to lock her in the house yet, she’s our princess but not our Rapunzel.
“Marco, what’s the updates?” I ask my friend and right hand.
“Another shipment going badly, we need to find a way to stop this whole thing, we’ve lost millions our reputation is getting worse than the Irish” he says, I groan knowing we need to fix things here.
“I know, we’ll win this my friend, but at what price” I say getting angrier than ever, the Irish aren’t that smart, they have help, someone who wants to ruin us.
“Where’s that demon of yours” Marco asks meaning Devil.
“She’s mad at me, hiding somewhere” I say knowing her tantrum would go on for a while.
“Really what did you do? Take her toys away?” Marco asks with a laugh, he doesn’t mean the real normal toys.
“No, but that’s a good punishment, she wants to act as our spy” I say explaining things to him.
“But what if they know it’s us who sent her? Devil been off the market for a while” Marco says he’s taking her suggestion for real.
“She’s also smart, everyone know she have no loyalties” I say back going along with him.
“And we trust that? What if she betray us for real?” he asks, I get angry at that, he called my little demon a traitor, I growl at him looking at him, even if it’s just a talk, I wouldn’t allow him to accuse her of betraying me.
“I’m only saying Nikolai” he says but I growl again stopping him from saying anything else.
“If you my friend, my right hand don’t believe me, if you think she’d betray us, what would they think?” I say hurt, and angry at him.
“They’d believe she’d betray us” he says getting on the same page as me now, no one would believe she loves us, no one believes she won’t betray us.
“We’re not going to send her” I say, not agreeing on this, no one is putting my demon in danger.
“You’re either too crazy or smart, I don’t know which one to go with” Marco says with a sigh, yeah maybe I am just both.
“Crazy or sane, my demon is staying safe with me, we got to find another way to find what they are planning for” I say, the war won’t end this way.
“She belongs to you boss, whatever you say goes” Marco agrees with me, on this one, no one is taking my demon away.
I decided to go search for the little demon, I want to hold her, hug her, maybe find out a way to make it up for her, I bet some good sex would have her talking to me in no time, it’s either war or fun time in bed, she’s not that hard to please after all. When I got to our room Devil wasn’t there, I went on the search for her but couldn’t find her inside the house, did she go out without telling me she knows better than leaving without telling me first, I was going crazy…
