Yanking the door open, I glare at Misha. “Fuck off, Petrov.”
Just as I go to close the door, his hand slams against it, and he shoves me out of the way. I stagger back as the bastard storms into the room and demands, “I deserve to know what happened.”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know,” I snap at him.
Misha gives me a look of warning. “If you want to live to see another day, you’ll shut up.”
I’m about to go to town on the asshole when Aurora darts between us. She gives me a determined look. “I’ll deal with him. Give us a minute.”
Glaring at Misha, I mutter, “I’ll be in the bedroom. Yell if you need help kicking his ass.”
Walking to the other room, I shut the door before pressing my ear against the wood so I can hear everything they say. Of course, it’s so I can run out and help Aurora if things get out of control between her and Misha.
They argue, but it quickly changes, and when I hear how they feel about each other, I get all caught up in my feels because my friend loves a man she can’t have.
It’s freaking sad, and I can’t help but shed tears on her behalf.
When they’re saying their goodbyes, I move to the bed and slump down on the mattress.
Damn, things really suck right now.
A moment later, Aurora opens the bedroom door.
“My God,” I sniffle. “That was so romantic and sad. It makes Romeo and Juliet’s story look like a walk in the park.”
“Yeah.” Aurora slumps down beside me. “Do you think my dad–”
“He’ll kill both of you.” I shake my head hard because there’s no way her father will allow her to be with Misha. “He hates the bratva.”
She lets out a hopeless sigh. “You’re right.”
“I need comfort food after today. It’s been rough.” Standing up, I look at Aurora. “Let’s order something and go to the waterfall.”
We haven’t had much time together, but whenever we could, we explored St. Monarch’s gardens. We found a beautiful waterfall at the back of the property I plan on painting once I’m no longer in a world of pain from all the exercise.
“I just want to change into something warmer.” Aurora quickly grabs a jacket, then says, “Let’s go.”
When she opens the front door, she asks, “What are you in the mood for?”
I step into the hallway and catch myself in time from bumping into Nikolai.
His eyes snap to my face, and the next second I’m grabbed by the shoulder while concern tightens his features.
Oh, this is new.
His voice cuts through the air as he demands, “Why did you cry?”
I stare at him for a couple of seconds as the realization hits that the great Nikolai Vetrov is actually worried about me. Not able to stop myself from smiling, I answer, “I watched a sad story.” There’s a moment’s pause before I add, “Nice to know you care.”
As if touching me burns him, Nikolai rips his hand away from my shoulder, and with a shake of his head, he stalks toward his suite.
Grinning from ear to ear, I look at Aurora. “Am I wrong? He cares, right?”
She shuts the door to her suite and lets out a sigh. “One sad story at a time. There’s no way your father will let you date Nikolai.”
True. But my father doesn’t have to know.
Yeah, keep dreaming. Your father will kill you himself before he allows you to be in a relationship with a Vetrov.
