Skyler’s Revenge

#Bella’s P. O. V

Nicoli nods his head and closes the door. He turns to me and licks his lips

“Malishka you’re going downstairs with Me and you’ll play the role of the happy wife”He instructs and I roll my eyes.

(Malishka means baby girl)

“How are you gonna make me”my voice betray me and I silently curse in my head.

“Don’t forget who I am sweetheart I can make you do more than that”He smirks and extends his hand.

I keep quite but I didn’t take his hand instead I walk past him and open the door making sure to close it back in his face. I walk downstairs to the huge main living room where a commotion is coming from.

I enter the room and Nicoli follows, the first thing that catches my eyes is the woman whose talking to Andrew. She probably in her late forties her black hair is tied in a very neat bun with no hairs standing out. Her green eyes seem bright. She’s very beautiful the knee length royal blue dress she’s wearing makes her look very elegant.

She looks in my direction and her eyes instantly snaps to Nicoli. I look at Nicoli and what I saw surprises me.

It’s not the usual blank stare I’m used to seeing from Nicoli or the mysterious sparkle in his eyes no! instead he’s smilling so genuine, its not a fake smile but a real genuine one its pretty clear that whatever relationship he has with her is really special. Is it wrong that I’m jealous of her or that I wish i could have Nicoli look at me like that.

“Mama”He calls with a giant smile but the woman simply scolds at him. It was really funny seeing the feared Nicoli king looking like a little boy being scolded.

The woman looks at me and a smile makes its way to her face. She walks up to me and envelops me in a hug.”welcome to the family”She whispers in my ear. I almost didn’t hear her because her Russian accent is so thick.

She pulls away from me , her smile still in place.”I am Sarah this idiot’s mother”She points to Nicoli and I instantly know we’re gonna get along.

“Mama where is my hug”Nicoli pouts like a seven year old. He actually looks cute.

Sarah rolls her eyes and crosses her arms”why didn’t you tell me you got married”She says with a scowl on her face

“I’m sorry”Nicoli mutters and she hugs him but wacks his head and I couldn’t help but chuckle. I love watching my husband being scolded.

“Anyway I have a meeting” Nicoli announced and he kisses his mother’s cheek he walks over to me and kisses my forehead like a loving husband.

“You look absolutely beautiful”Sarah comments as we both sit down. It’s just me and her in the living room.

“Thank you”I smile blushing a little so I look down to hide it.

“I’m so happy my son is married to you, after what happened with Anastasia”She explains and I take that as my chance maybe I can find something out about this mysterious girl.

“What happened to her?”I ask

“I shouldn’t tell you that especially since I never really liked the girl.”She shrugs like her death was nothing to her..

“I’m really curious please tell me”I beg putting on my best puppy dog eyes. She looks at me for a while but finally breaks.

“Nicoli thought he was in love with the girl but I could see it was lust not love. Nicoli didn’t listen to me he thought it was love.”She explains while I nod my head.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“She betrayed him and well disappeared he was angry with himself for letting a woman betray him and promised himself he would never love again”She finished and I’m left amazed.

“And that’s why I’m happy his found a girl like you i just know you will make my son happy and show him what true love is” she smiles grabbing both my hands in her own.

“I can see the way you look at him honey its clear you’re fascinated by him.”She grins with that lovely look in his eyes.

“Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll go take a nap I’m tired from my flight”She gets up and leaves.

Having heard about Nicoli makes something stir inside of me I don’t know what it is but its frustrating me to the next level.

I know I feel something for Nicoli but up until now I was sure it was hatred now I’m not sure. What I do know is whether I like it or not I’m stuck with him for one year and I think its time we got along.

I walk to my room and lie on the bed thinking on how to deal with this whole Nicoli issue.

Sleep takes over and I end up sleeping on the bed

“Malishka ”

“Malishka wake up”Someone says but I groan and try to go back to sleep.

Something wet is placed on my neck and I instantly jump up blood rushing to my cheeks.

“Weak spot”Nicoli chuckle and I snap at him

“Why the hell did you wake me”I growl getting up from bed.

“We have a dinner to attend Malishka”He says walking to our huge closet.

I roll my eyes and sit back on the bed. A few minutes later he comes back out wearing a royal blue Armani suit.

“We are already late so hurry up”

I roll my eyes and walk into the closet. I pick out a royal blue floor lengths dress to match his.. It has an open back and the top is made of lace the dress matches perfectly with my ring too..

I straighten my long hair and apply light pink lipstick that makes my eyes pop. I put on the heels I need to wear and grab my matching clutch.

I walk back out of the closet to where my husband is ‘patiently’ waiting. He looks up from his watch and his eyes slowly gush in attraction as he stare at my appearance. There is something different about the way he looks at me.

“You look beautiful”He complements.

“Nicoli before we leave I like to say something”I take a deep breath and say the words I’ve been resisting for hours.

“I don’t like you and you don’t like me but we have to deal with each other for one year so the least we can do is get along right”I tell him and he smirks.

“I agree Malishka my mama doesn’t know about the reason I married you so it will be better if to the rest of the world we act like the perfect couple”He smirks and I nod my head.

“So deal?”I expand my hand.

“Deal!”Nicoli grabs my hand and we shake.

It’s a done deal now…
