The Russian Don – A Dark Mafia Romance

We were standing out of the mansion, bidding Vanessa and Lorenzo goodbye as they were leaving the island.

“Please take care of yourself, Pen,” Vanessa said while hugging Pen,

“I will, and you both take care of each other and also my Milly and our little Lorenzo here,” she said and everyone chuckled at her words including Nikolai. I glanced at him and noticed him looking at Vanessa, his eyes watching her in admiration.

He never looks at anyone the way he’s looking at Vanessa. I stood there like a statue, watching him, watching her as if she was the only one he ever wanted. It erupted an ache inside my chest, and my breathing heavily.

The look of longing in his eyes was evident, his eyes screamed of want for something forbidden. Looking at him, I was completely taken aback. I wish what I’m seeing in his is not real, it’s just my imagination or something.

But no!

No matter how many times, I blinked and shook my head. It wasn’t my imagination. It was all real, his eyes screaming that he loved her.

Nikolai loved his Brother’s Wife and it was shocking. I can’t fucking believe what I’m seeing.

I swallowed hard and tore my eyes off him, I felt my heart breaking into a million pieces. Tears rolled in my eyes, and my throat dried.

“Julianna,” I hear Vanessa’s Voice. I quickly forced a smile and turned to her, she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me.

“Take care of yourself, Juliana,” She said,

“I’m always there for you,” she added while wiping those tears which I didn’t notice were flowing down my eyes.

“I’m just one call away from you, Juliana, Don’t forget that,” She said while smiling at me.

“Yeah,” I smiled while wiping my tears,

She turned to her husband who smiled at her and took her hand in his. I glanced at Nikolai and noticed his eyes flickering at Lorenzo’s hand which was holding Vanessa’s.

I turned away and tried my best to control myself.

“Bye,” Milly waved at us while getting inside the car.

We waved our hands at them as they drove off.

As I was walking inside the mansion, I noticed Penelope walking beside me and turned to her. She gave a smile and I couldn’t stop myself. “Pen, can I ask you something?”

“Anything,” she replied,

“What is it…. Between Nikolai and… Vanessa?” I asked,

She sighed before turning to me, “Well… They had a thing back then,” She said and hearing her, I felt my heart sink.

“But… It wasn’t mutual, She was already married to Lorenzo… so Nik didn’t have a chance and he knew it from day one,” she continued and told everything that happened between them.

“He moved on and I think his feelings for her also died down,” she said before walking inside the kitchen. I don’t think his feelings for her died down. He still has feelings for her.

I can’t believe what’s been happening to me these past few days.

What have I gotten myself into?

I had slept with a guy who loves someone else and treats me like trash, now I’m pregnant with his child. All these things were pushing me to leave this mansion soon for good. They were adding in and giving me a strong reason to disappear from this mansion and as well as Nikolai’s life for my sake and also my child’s.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Shutting my mind, I rushed to my room. I sat down on my bed and counted to ten.

I rose on my legs and rushed out of my room, without grabbing anyone’s attention. I walked to the backyard of the mansion, since I had gained everyone’s trust, the bodyguards stopped putting their attention on me as they did at the beginning.

Last night, I discovered a shortcut to the yacht and decided to go on that route. If I use this route, I could reach the yacht before them. My heart was pounding inside my chest as I made a run into the woods. I was sweating and out of breath, I stopped and pressed my back to the tree trunk for a minute before running again.

I reached the yacht and watched the crew waiting for Lorenzo and Vanessa on the other side, looking like they hadn’t reached it yet. The crew were a few meters away from the yacht and were busy with themselves. I took the opportunity and sneaked into the yacht.

I carefully sneaked inside the room I placed my bag last night and locked the door. I sat on the bed and released a breath of relief as I was successful in my plan. Now, I have to wait until this yacht moves and leaves this island.

God please, please make me leave this island as soon as possible, Please.

I can’t wait to get away from this Island.

After waiting for 20 minutes, the Yacht began to move. I had happy tears as I watched it moving through the window beside my bed. After so many days, I’m now finally leaving this Island and I was so happy to go back home.

Since I know Nikolai would first search for me there, I should take my things and leave as soon as I get there. I have to do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn’t find me.

I laid down on the bed with all those thoughts inside my mind and I didn’t realize it when I slipped into a deep slumber.

***

I heard someone clearing their throat but I was groaning in sleep, not willing to get up but as soon as reality rushed to my mind I quickly opened my eyes and was shocked to see Vanessa inside the room.

She was standing there, folding her hands over her chest, behind her stood two women who looked like crew members of this yacht. She stared at me waiting for me to answer those questions running in her mind. I swallowed hard and sat up, “Vanessa,” I said while not meeting her eyes.

“Julia, Why are you here?” She asked,
