"Well Darling, I'm Nikolai your elder brother"
"Sorry?"
Okay, this was weird. Wasn't she supposed to be Captain soon, how come she gained an elder brother. Where on earth did he come from?
Just because he had blonde hair like hers and a nice voice, he thinks he can talk trash. Don't people dye their hair nowadays? Or was it her fault that he was not...Forget it.
"I beg your pardon....please I need water. My throat is dry"
Silence ensued. Lilith had thought for a while that the swindler of a man would not listen to her. Now she was totally sure that Grandpa did not send her on a mission. She had been kidnapped by this man. It was not exactly him but her butler, Mr. Regan.
How did he get to know this man? Were they going to use her to threaten her family? They had better not. Apart from her Grandpa, no one else found her valuable. She was still a piece of trash in their eyes.
She spaced out for a few minutes and by the time she was back to reality, a glass of water was placed in front of her. She mumbled a thank you and wanted to drink, except that she was still bound,how was she supposed to do that?
"Big brother, please my hands are tied"
Since this guy wanted to play 'Hyeong' she had no choice but to comply, after all, she was in his territory.
"младшая сестра, don't worry, I'll feed you"
[Little sister]
Lilith replied "Так что вы можете говорить по-русски"
[So you can speak Russian]
"Не время говорить, открой рот и выпей"
[No time to talk, open your mouth and drink]

Surprisingly, this 'big brother' was rather nice. Aside from telling her nonsense, he had been of best behaviour. He gave her water, removed her bounds. The room was dark so she couldn't get a good view of his face.
He took her outside. She discovered that they were in a warehouse. Well, the 'warehouse' was empty and from her observations, it had been so for a very long time.
She had finally seen his face and yes, he did look like her a lot. He was like the male version of herself, just older. He should be around twenty one years of age, judging from his appearance. Although, he carried the aura of a veteran sixty years old drug baron.
That alone scared her senseless. She remained quiet through the rest of the journey. They left the house and went to an estate on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
Finally,they arrived at a building. She realised it was a villa at first sight. Seems like this 'Hyeong' was rather rich. It was the only building they had seen since they entered the street. Seems like Nikolai Hyeong had bought the surrounding land.
The interior of the villa screamed luxury. The garden was amazing. It even had a greenhouse. There were three fountains situated at different areas around the front. There was also a large in built garage although most of the cars were outside
Big brother Nikolai's taste in cars was impressive. His collection ranged from Ferrari to Rollce Royce, Audi to Lamborghini, Bentley to Mercedez Benz. The cars on display were about twelve on number , all in either black, grey or white colours. So monochrome.
From what she could see, the villa had five standard size swimming pools, twelve cars, seven buildings, a very large garden, a watch tower , a basketball court, two tennis courts, no dog and a shooting range.
The interior of the main building was simply designed to wow her. Pictures of her probably Russian American new brother were all over the place. Most furniture were made from African Black wood, parts of the chairs were made from ivory. Pure golden frames adorned the pictures on the walls. A DJ set was on one side of the living room and a bar at the opposite end. The living room led to two places, the kitchen and the lounge.
The kitchen was master piece. Every single cutlery was made from pure silver. There was a TV in the kitchen. It even had a store room.
The lounge was definitely going to be her favourite place in the house. It was massive. It had a mini theatre, a gaming section with trendy and yet to be in stock video games. It had a TV as well.
Maybe, being held hostage here was not so bad.
Big brother Nikolai took her round the house before sending her to a room he called hers. Do not expect anything less, the room was just as impressive.
It had a ceiling to floor aquarium on one part of the wall, a book shelf occupied the other side of the wall from the beginning to the end. There was a dressing table and other necessary furniture but no wardrobe. instead, there were two doors opposite her bed.
One contained her state of the art bathroom while the other was a walk in closet the same size as her room. There weren't much clothes available, just enough for one week.
Maybe she would go shopping. This was the life. She would treat this as her winter vacation instead of a kidnap incident.
Knowing what to do, she freshened up and slept immediately when her he'd touched the bed.
Unknown to her, Nikolai, having knocked fifteen minutes after she arrived at Dreamland entered her wanting to invite her down for lunch but ended up letting her sleep. After all, she had a long day yesterday.
*****
She slept really well that morning. In fact, she hadn't slept like that in a long time. By the time she was awake, it was time for dinner.
She walked down the marble stairs in her black cotton shirt, white denim shorts and black fluffy slippers. She found Nikolai sitting together with another man. He hadvaldo freshened up and looked very relaxed in his casual clothes.
Was he not supposed to let her know that a guest was arriving? Why didn't he tell her? What would the guest say when he saw her that way?
She turned to go upstairs but was already seen by her brother Nikolai.
"Давай поужинаем вместе с папой"
[ Come, let us have dinner with Dad]
"Dad?"
