The Billionaire Mafia’s Slave

CHAPTER 25: HI, I’M GALINA

LILY’S POV:

The car ride back to the mansion was in silence, Nikolai didn’t say anything to me and neither did I. The events back at the torture house still scared me.

I shivered as I remembered how Nikolai shot that man on the chair, I shook my head and looked out the window.

‘What have I gotten myself into?’, I said to myself. There was no escape from this psychopath, I had no phone or any other means of communication with the outside world.

I thought of just opening the car door and jumping out of here, I might loose my life but it seemed like a practical idea.

Nikolai’s phone rang and it was connected to hands-free, I peeped at the caller ID and rolled my eyes, it was a girl and her name had a heart emoji.

He picked the call and waited for the caller to speak.

“Koylaaaa!!”, The girl called out, she sounded really young.

“What do you want Galina?”, Nikolai asked, he doesn’t seem happy about the lady’s call.

“Guess where I am?!”, She sounds really excited and I somehow felt sorry for her, she has no idea what type of a sociopath Nikolai is.

“Don’t tell me… are you at my mansion?!”, He asked and she laughed.

“Byeeeeee!”, She said before hanging up.

Nikolai silently cussed as he stepped on the gas.

I guess he wasn’t expecting her, ‘Or maybe he just doesn’t want Irina and that girl to meet up’, I said to myself.

That could be the only logical reason for his sudden uneasiness, guys don’t like when girls they are intimate with meet up, but Nikolai doesn’t look like those guys.

***

We got back to the mansion, Nikolai got down from the car and went into the house, not paying me any attention, I sighed and followed quietly behind him.

I entered the mansion and saw a girl hugging him.

‘Must be the girl he spoke with on phone’, I said to myself.

She had the biggest smile on her face as she soaked herself in his embrace, I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

This poor girl isn’t aware of who Nikolai is, I almost felt sorry for her.

“Didn’t you miss me Koyla?”, She asked as she acted childishly.

“Why are you here Galina?”, Nikolai asked her with a straight face and she pouted.

Galina is a very beautiful and gorgeous girl, she looks young, probably 24 to 25 years old, brown hair, beautiful eyes and freckles, she had a bright red lipstick on.

She could easily pass as a model, she was tall, maybe 5’10. She wore a red dress to match her lips and heels.

“I’m here because I miss you Nikolai, didn’t you miss me?”, She asked looking sad and Nikolai sighed not giving her any response.

I feel sorry for her. From what I know, Nikolai isn’t someone to miss the affection of someone and besides, she was one of his usual flings, right?

I didn’t see Irina anywhere around, I guess he might have sent her away since he was done with her and just in time, Galina came. I’m sure he’s having a blast with these girls.

“Of course I miss you Galina”, Nikolai said and I saw a glimpse of fondness on his face. I was surprised.

‘Did he really have this side to him?’, I asked myself in awe.

“Yayyy!… I have so many things to tell you Koyla”, Galina said and hugged him again. I scoffed at the pet name she seems to have for him.

“Sounds tacky”, I murmured under my breathe but it seems I was heard. Galina’s attention shifted to me and she furrowed her brows, she walked up to me with a frown on her lips.

“And you are?”, She asked.

I swallowed hard and I remained quiet, how can I answer her question when I don’t know the answer to that. Who should I say I am to Nikolai? His girlfriend?, ‘Fuck no!’, His friend?

“Uh, I am… I-I’m uh”, I stuttered, I looked at Nikolai for a little help but he had a smug on his face, he seems to be enjoying my present predicament.

I threw him a death stare and rolled my eyes at him, turning my attention back to Galina who was waiting for my reply.

“I’m Lily!”, I said and brought out my hand for a handshake, she looked at it then back at me, she looked back at Nikolai and he smiled at her and I wouldn’t lie, he was so hot with that smile.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Galina eyes were on me again and she smiled widely, she hugged me abruptly, so tight that I couldn’t breathe.

“Hi, I’m Galina and I am Nikolai’s only and baby sister!”, She introduced herself as she disconnected from the hug. I stared at her in confusion.

“Huh? Sis-sister?”, I asked and she nodded with a beautiful smile on her face, “Oh…”, was all I said.

I felt very stupid, how could I think she was one of his girl toys. She was his sister!

“Koyla, why didn’t you tell me you have someone here in the mansion. Is that why you didn’t want me here? huh?”, Galina went over to her brother and asked.

“That isn’t the reason Galina”, Nikolai said, having that his fond smile for only her.

Now I get it… I now understand why she called him ‘Koyla’, why he let her hug him, why he smiled lovingly to her. This was his sister, not a fuck toy!

“Then what is the reason? You don’t want father and mother to know you have a girlfriend?”, Galina asked him, showing him a knowing smile. I choked on my own saliva and coughed uncontrollably.

Nikolai left his sister and came to me, lightly tapping my back.

“Are you okay?”, He asked with a worried look. I nodded my head.

I thought he wasn’t speaking to me? After we left that warehouse, we didn’t say anything to each other. I remembered that those hands he used in taking someone’s life was what he is using to touch me, I gently shook his hands off.

“I’m fine”, I answered and stepped away from him, he noticed and sighed.

“Oouuu, trouble in paradise? Did you guys have a lover’s quarrel?”, Galina asked with a grin.

“Galina!”, Nikolai scolded.

“What?! No! W-we are not da-dating!”, I answered and walked away from them, feeling flustered.

I quickly went up the stairs so they won’t notice my red cheeks.

I entered my room and quickly closed it, I let out a sigh of relief and went to the dressing mirror, I looked at my blushing cheeks and I sighed and closed my eyes.

“What is wrong with me?”, I asked myself out loud. How can I blush and feel hot when Galina thought me and Nikolai were dating?

I sat on the bed and my mind wandered to what happened at the warehouse, the screams for tortured prisoners, sounds of weapons on skin, smell of blood and human waste and the cry of those who died there.

I wondered if Galina know who her brother was?

Is she aware that her dear brother was a sadist and a criminal?

She looked sweet and innocent, too pure for this world. I like how outgoing and bright she is, I know she wasn’t faking it and was genuinely a kindhearted person.

‘Maybe she isn’t aware that her brother was a monster’, I thought.

I had flashy memories of when Nikolai drove a scalpel into that mans thighs, his eyes were full of hunger for blood and I shivered at the thought. I don’t know how far he could go to get what he wants.

I remember him telling me his limit was women and children, but I don’t believe him. He kidnapped me and almost killed me, he almost choked Irina to death and he wants me to believe he doesn’t hurt women? I scoffed.

I laid down on the bed and tried to get a little sleep, it was pass dinner time but I wasn’t hungry for food, I was hungry for freedom. Freedom from this place and freedom from Nikolai.

I so bad want to wake up one morning and my papa would be there, I would know it was just a nightmare, never to happen.
