The Billionaire Mafia’s Slave

CHAPTER 61: I’M ELENA

LILY’S POV:

‘This was the Elena everyone was talking about? This was Nikolai’s ex?’, I asked myself. I looked at her from head to toe and I couldn’t find a perk of dust on her, it was almost as if she was perfect.

Her blonde hair was shiny, and straight, falling down her back, I’m sure she uses expensive hair products. Her eyes were bright green, and shaped like almond, lips full and painted red, her face was heart shaped with high cheekbones and a pointed chin, her skin was smooth and creamy, with no blemishes. Her body was curvy with a tiny waist and a full bust.

Elena wore a beautiful, fancy dress that hugged her curves, paired with red heels and she stood around 5’9.

It just makes me feel stupid, standing there and pointing out her generously God created her, I wasn’t scared of facing her. I got the courage and walked up to where they were.

“When did you get back into Moscow Elena?”, Galina asked Elena with a wide smile pasted on her face. It was so obvious she was faking it.

“About a week ago… I must say, you still look beautiful Galina”, Elena responded with a small smile hiding at the corner of her mouth.

“Galina”, I called out to her and all three of them turned towards me.

“Oh hiiii!”, Galina smiled fondly at me, she came up to me and grabbed my hand.

“You are here too”, Anastasia commented with a scoff.

I watched as Elena eyes settled on me, she accessed me from head to toe as I did her.

‘What is she thinking?’, I wondered, I would give anything to know what she thought about me. She smiled brightly at me and I frowned.

“You must be Lily… I’m Elena”, She stretched out her hand for a handshake, I looked at it and was confused.

‘Doesn’t she knows who I am?’, I asked myself, I mean she should since she called me by my name. I’m guessing Anastasia has been blabbing about me already.

I smiled at her too, taking her hand in a handshake.

“Yes, I am Lily”, I replied.

“You are even more beautiful in person”, Elena said and I furrowed my brows, they sure have talked a lot about me.

“Oh Thank you. You don’t look bad yourself too”, I said and she slightly rose a brow, I didn’t miss the sharp glint in her eyes. I was not going to give her that satisfaction that she can talk to me the way she wants.

I noticed she can conceal her emotions very well, She was only pretending to be nice but I knew her kind, she was just like Olivia. Slow poison.

“Are you trying to insult my friend?”, Anastasia asked, hand on her waist as she was ready to start something.

“Is that what you think? You are misinterpreting my words”, I said and Anastasia didn’t know what to say.

“That is enough Ana, I’m sure Lily is not one to say something and mean another”, Elena responded, looking straight into my soul. I was sure she didn’t believe what she said either.

The manager of the shop just stood there, not interrupting. She quietly let the rich and powerful continue their ‘friendly’ conversation.

“Yes Ana, Lily isn’t like that!”, Galina commented. I smiled at Anastasia as she stood there dumbfounded as no one supported her.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“It was nice meeting you Lily… See you tomorrow at the Ball, I’m certain we will get along just fine”, Elena said with a smirk and left the store, followed by Anastasia.

“Miss Elena?! Miss Anastasia?!!”, The manager ran calling them.

I frowned at what Elena said, ‘She was going to be at the Ball?’, I asked myself.

“Is what she said true?”, I asked Galina who was huffing and puffing about how rude Anastasia was.

“Huh?”, She asked not quite understanding.

“Elena. She just told me she will be at the ball, is it true?”.

“Oh that. Yes. Her family and our family have been friends before I was even born, so it’s only natural that Dad invite their family”, Galina explained and I started feeling some way.

“I’m done picking a dress, let’s go”, I said and started walking towards the door.

“Wait! What about shoes and bag to match?!!”, Galina asked as she speed walk to catch up to me.

I didn’t know how to feel. Did Nikolai know Elena was going to the ball or was he as clueless as I was? If he knew, why didn’t he tell me?

I was in a hurry to go home and find out from him.

‘Is it alright if I ask him?’, I wondered.

I got out of the mall and waited for the chauffeur to come with the car, I saw Elena and Anastasia get into their own car and the driver zoomed off.

Galina was calling out to me, running and panting. She caught up to me and was gasping for air.

“Wh… why will you r… run off like… that?”, She asked as she tried to catch her breath. I sighed as I felt bad for making her run after me.

“I’m sorry Galina, but I really want to be back at the mansion now”.

“Why? Is it because of Anastasia and Elena?”, Galina asked with a frown.

“No, it isn’t like–“.

“You really don’t need to worry about them, they can’t do anything to you with Nikolai at your side”, Galina assured me and I gave a faint smile. The mere mention of Nikolai’s name made my heart flutter.

Being away from him for this short time has my heart aching and yearning for him.

“I’m just tired after trying on different dresses, I want to rest”, I lied. She sighed with a smile on her face, reminding me of how beautiful she is.

“Alright. Let’s grab a snack before going back, okay?”, She suggested and I accepted.

The chauffeur arrived and handed the car key to Galina, we got in and went to get some snacks.

Galina got a Cinnamon sugar doughnuts and iced latte.

“I like sweet treats haha”, She said. I got Muffin tops and cappuccino then we went back to the mansion.

We got home and Nikolai wasn’t there, it was almost noon and time for lunch.

“Where is Nikolai?”, I asked the maid who was spreading the sheets in the room.

“I am sorry but I don’t know”, She replied and I nodded. She finished with what she was doing and left. I wondered where Nikolai could have gone off to.

‘Or is he on his way to see Elena?’, I quickly shook my head once that thought came in.

I shouldn’t start distrusting Nikolai or questioning his love for me. He said he likes me and I will hold unto that.

I sat on the bed, thinking about Nikolai’s ex girlfriend that happens to be a strikingly beautiful.

‘What made them break up?’, I wondered, because from what I see, Nikolai’s family like her and he do too, or did.

I sighed frustratingly and closed my eyes to block all the random thoughts. My mind wondered to the dress I go for tomorrow, then I realized…

“Oh shit, shoes!!”, I exclaimed. Galina reminded me about shoes to wear but I wasn’t concentrating on what she said. I figured I would just tell Galina to borrow me hers.

I heard the door open and Nikolai came in.

“You are back”, He said, both surprised and happy.

“You don’t want me here?”, I asked with my brows raised. He walked up to me with his dark eyes boring into my soul, he held the back of my head and kissed me sharply then he detached from me, I pouted as I wanted more.

“I never wanted you gone at the first place”, He said and I smiled.

“Where did you go to?”, I asked him. He took a seat on the sofa in the room and pulled me to sit on his thighs, I gasped at the sharp pull as I was straddling him.

Nikolai held me close to him, caressing my thighs and hips, I was holding my breath and my cheeks were warm.

“I had something to do but I’m back now, what is it you want from me?”, He asked, looking at me as if he was about to devour me, I swallowed hard as our face was so close.

His hands moved to my butt and he gave both cheeks a squeeze and I gasps, biting my bottom lip.

“We bu-bumped into uhm… Elena at the mall”, I said. I wasn’t sure if it was the right thing to do or not but I was happy I told him.

His hands on my butt stopped moving and he just stared at me, he didn’t even blink.

“Nikolai?”, I called him but he didn’t say anything. Now I feel bad for saying it.

I just didn’t want any secret between us.

“Did she say anything to you? Was she rude to you?”, He finally asked and I was relieved. My heart swelled that he was still looking out for my feelings.

“She wasn’t rude”, I said. He nodded and continued massaging my butt, his eyes darkened the more he pressed my cheeks and I bit my lips.

“You are fucking turning me on Lily”, He said in a low growl and my stomach squeezed.

‘Fuck, he is too’, I said in my head.
