Oh. Shit.
Abbie steps closer to Nikolai, her chin raised high.
It looks like they’re either going to kiss or have a fistfight. I’m not really sure which one it will be.
Nikolai’s voice is filled with rage as he growls, “You’re one of my students. It gives me the right to fucking worry.”
Abbie narrows her eyes on him. “Yeah, keep lying to yourself.” Lifting up on her tiptoes, she whispers something to him that has his nostrils practically flaring like an enraged bull.
Well, this is interesting.
With a sarcastic smile, Abbie pats his chest before she walks toward the stairs.
“I’m going with Abbie,” I tell Misha before I run after her.
Only when I shut the door behind us, and we’re alone in my suite, does a sob break free from her.
Horror-struck, she locks eyes with me. “That man will drive me to drink!”
“What’s going on between the two of you?” I ask as I wrap her in a hug.
“Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The asshole.” She almost regains her composure, then whimpers, “I thought the hits were canceled?”
“Only the one on my family,” I whisper, feeling like a rotten friend for agreeing to go out.
We should’ve just stayed here.
“God,” she breathes as she wraps her arms around herself. “I could’ve died today.”
“You didn’t.” I engulf her in a hug. “You’re alive.”
We stand in silence as the shock slowly fades and reality sets in, then Abbie murmurs, “They saved my life. I owe them big time.”
Yes, we do.
God only knows what kind of repercussions will come from this. The uneasy feeling I had in the store hasn’t left. If anything, it’s multiplied.
There’s a storm coming, and I’m not sure if Misha and I will survive it.
Chapter 31
Misha
After handing our weapons over to the guards, I stare at Armani and Alek.
“Well, that was a fucking shit show,” Alek mutters, looking pissed as fuck.
“Yeah,” Armani agrees. He shakes his head. “That was a hit on Abbie, and we stopped it.”
Viktor is going to lose his shit.
We’re good as dead.
“Blyad',” Alek shouts as he starts to pace up and down the foyer.
“Let me see what I can do.” I walk away and turn down the hallway that leads to Director Kolov’s office.
The door’s already open, and the guard waves for me to enter.
