Chapter 4 Chaos

Selena's POV

The bright rays of sun hits me, waking me up from my slumber. I stretch my body as I feel sore over. My head is banging me and I assume it's a hangover giving how much I drank yesternight.

I try to recall what happened after my too many drinks but nothing comes to my mind other than me leaving the ball. I know for a certainty this is not home and I'm not at Nikolai's place as his room is decorated in minimal colors.

"Nikolai!" The rest of the memories I have been trying to gather floods my brain. I turn around and he is lying there still asleep but something doesn't feel right.

Nikolai's tattoo is on the right side of his neck and his eyebrows are slim and neatly trimmed, this man that has the same appearance with my boyfriend has a dash across his thick eyebrows and his tattoo runs down from his neck to his arms.

My eyes trail down his body and I realize his whole body is littered with tattoos.

"He is not Nikolai!" My heart beats faster in my chest as I struggle to remember all of what happened, the memories are fresh and vivid but I do not coming in contact with anyone other than Nikolai and then it hits me, this is his brother.

I gulp down my spit when I realize the mess I have thrown myself in. I become even more tense when I remember we used no protection.

My hands fly to my stomach subconsciously and I shake my head in refusal,this is not happening. Quietly, I start to pack up my things careful so I do not wake the cunning bastard up.

"Are you trying to leave without telling me just like you saw me without telling my brother?" His hoarse voice echoes around the room and I stop in my tracks.

"You manipulator. You knew!"

"Of course, I knew. I can tell myself apart from my brother unlike his wife to be. You seem very observant for a lady that wishes to be the wife to a mafia family." He leans up from the bed heavily and I hate that I cannot kill him, I lack manpower.

"I would build myself to have what it takes to be the wife of the mafia boss." I ignore him and I continue packing my things.

"Mafia boss? Is that the lie he used to lure you, an innocent sheep into the lion's den?" He chuckles as he stares, his eyes hot on my cleavage.

"He is not a liar like you." I put on my clothes and I prepare to leave.

"You really have a lot to learn about Nikolai. And just for context, I'm Kieran, the mafia boss and the Lord of the underworld. Ask your contract fiancée or whatever it is you both are to fill you in on the truth." He waves his hands through his hair as he talks to me unbothered.

"Contract fiancé?" My eyes scan the trim for any sign of a contract. Could I have carried it in my bag and he somehow came across it?

"You talk when you are tipsy." He picks up his shirt and he starts to button it leisurely.

I place my hands on the door knob and I prepare to run for it when suddenly he grabs my hand on the door.

"This affair stays between the both of us. I trust you will not be stupid enough to dissolve your alliance for something as meagre as this." He has a cruel smile on his face and I wish I can wipe it off permanently.

Tears stings my eyes, I hold it tight refusing to let him see me in my vulnerable state.

I try to pull my hands out of his and he doesn't even bulge.

"You're yet to give me an answer little whore." His hand on my hands moves in a seductive way.

"Keep your hands off me." I retort immediately.

"I would love to see this feisty you in bed, I prefer this over the submissive woman you were yesterday." He smirks.

"I need to leave." I nearly choke on the sobs threatening to spill.

"See you again." He finally lets me go.

I open the door hurriedly, scared, tense, worried. I do not want Nikolai or even Priscilla or his parents to bounce on me coming out from his twin brother's room in a disheveled state.

"You sure are one hell of a wife material." The one person I did not want to see. Priscilla, she folds her arms across her chest with a taunting gaze.

"What do you want?" I place my trembling hands behind my chest. I don't need her to see me fidgeting.

"I'm not like the other girls. I'm not going to ask you to leave Nikolai. This is a world of mafias." The calm look on her face tells me there is more to what she has to say.

"Are you interested?" She probes even after noticing my confusion.

I'm not stupid enough to agree to something I totally do not understand.

"What do you want?" I ask her again, this time with more boldness.

"There are three ways to keep me quiet Priscilla. I believe you already know one, I hate to repeat conversations so I will not be saying it. As for the other two, you help fulfill it or this shabby thing you're doing with my Nikolai has to come to an end." She stares at me fiercely, like she wants to instill her instructions in to my head.

"You're still yet to say anything tangible Priscilla." My legs are shaking and I sincerely do not understand why.

"You either find a way to get Kieran and let me have Nikolai or you manipulate them to form an alliance with me. Even the top of my bodyguards cannot compare to Kieran's skills. There's only one way to this, a family contract marriage."

"And if I cannot fulfill any of this?"

"We'll take the hard way then. You kill the mafia boss,Kieran."
