She is the one by Asheslove (book recommendations for young adults txt) 📕

A week is going to end since that night passed. Nicolas behavior quite change towards me. We didn't speak for once. Well, we are never in good terms when it comes to talk. 

Most of the time he must be out all day or in his office doing work. We ate in silence without a word, at night he quietly sleep at his side and with all this he didn't even touch me for once or tried to have sex after that night.

I don't want to accept but his behavior started bothering me. I don't understand what a quiet game he's playing with my mind but it's getting under my skin now. Nicolas knows I am playing my own cards at the same time and he is fine with it as most of them is turning in his favor because just when I began to think I gradually started understanding him he somewhat changes all the cards bringing me back at the resultant zero again. 

I believed him as a monster and I still have no doubt that he is but then his behavior changed with me drastically so after that my perception for him started slightly changing when I observed him, I started understanding him for the way he is so now he suddenly changes again. 

Despite knowing him and all what he had done with me, sometimes I felt maybe he has something somewhere deep inside other then his insane obsession for me but what?

I felt it whenever he is around me but I don't know what it is and I know I am not be able to find it even if I dig deep down in his flesh with my nails. 

And now his new change in behavior. If he thinks he is done with me can't he just leave me for God's sake instead of playing his ways with me.

'Who has the file?' Nicolas asked Michael. 

'Peter have it' Michael said gulping the glass of drink.

'Hu, I have it don't worry Nic. I am not going to loose a file which costs billions of diamonds' Peter said hilariously. 

Diamond smuggling, dear lord. 

We were sitting at the backyard in the party of Antonio, the best man, right hand man or consigliori of Benjamin like from what I have listened about him from their conversation, who took care of shipments from England to Italy or Italy to England.

'What about our shipments' Nicolas asked again.

'Leo put Ed in charge of them' Michael replied.

'Fine enough. Tell our men to be careful. I don't want the nose of Dimitri in between this time' Nicolas said hauntingly leaving the seat.

'Oh, come on Nic, It will take him some time to get back on his knees again' Peter said sarcastically from behind.

Leaving Michael and peter with me Nicolas walked where Leo, Benjamin and Antonio were having some conversation.

'What happened to our new fellow' Peter asked Michael looking at Benjamin after Nicolas left.

'The coppers are giving hard time to their business, they are after him.' Michael replied filling a glass of Scotch.

'Then let's send Edward to England and problem solved. I am sure after that coppers will not be able to give hard time even after the death of Benjamin for years' Peter said hilariously and both of them chuckled.

I had no attention on what they were talking, my eyes were fixed at Nicolas where he was conversing.

'Don't worry, he's not going to vanish in air Elena' I heard Michael commenting filling a glass of shampane before sliding it to me.

'Ugh...What?'.

'You are staring at him for a long time, he's not going anywhere'.

'I am not exactly staring at him, I am just..thinking something' I replied holding the glass to my lips.

'You are slowly growing on him and he is on you or I say he already has grown on you but didn't realize it yet' He muttered.

'No, I am not' I said quickly with a frown on my face. 

'And neither is he, it's...its just his obsession' and saying this I gulp the whole glass in once and Michael chuckled.

'Yes both of you are' he said again smiling gulping his drink.

'I thought you do illegal businesses of trafficking weapons or drugs only but diamond smuggling? Do you people have hands in every illegal businesses in the world?' I asked ignoring his remark earlier and remembering about their talk.

'This is mafia world Elena, it's far from a little what you thought, know or hear'

'Trafficking, drugs, women, and weapons these are just few outlined businesses, there is a lot more inside. Not all but we have our hands in almost everything'.

'Even women?' I asked a little surprised because Marco told me Nicolas won't do business which involve women. Does it means he was lying.

'Yes, market of women's is lot more bigger then you think, that used to be our main business before. Sophia, Edward, I and even Leo, we all used to supply girls earlier instead of Nicolas, he manages other business. Sophia still do this work under godmother Bethany and involves Edward with her' 

'Wait, Bethany, the elder lady I meet once' I asked remembering the night Nicolas took me out in their party to meet her.

'She is comare (godmother) of every one of us. We all used to work fo her until on our own but Nicolas never did business which involve women not even for her. He has his principles and now we work with him. Nicolas is known and feared by everyone in underworld because of his rules and power'.

'So he is your boss?' I questioned, recalling everything I know about him.

Michael chuckled on my words.

'He's not our boss Elena, no one is boss in us and this is what makes him different from other gang leaders and mafia groups. We all work here together and follow his lead, that's why people from all around the world, all gangs, communists wants to work with him. His alliances are spread around all over the globe who work with him and remaining others who's against him are his enemies. He's not a rogue and an embezzler like others, that's why everyone trust him and that's his power'.

It's scary and fascinating at the same time to know what type of powerful personality that dangerous man held in his world who kidnapped me. Does he only have to find me for him in this whole damn world.
