Chapter 17: Playing Hard to Get

Once the doors of the mansion closed, I ran up the balcony, jumped from my roof, and landed softly on the roof of the Erik's mansion. I watched as Ivan huffed and kicked the pavement as he walked toward the mansion.

Once he arrived, I heard Anton demand, “What happened?”

“Come on, let us talk in my office,” he whispered to him, and they walked into the office which was at the end of the mansion.

I heard the door close and then Ivan cursed. “We need to stay away from Nikolai Lev. Do you know what he said to me? He wants to be with all of us.”

“What?” I heard the gasp that came from Anton. “The four of us?”

“He is a crazy shameless b*stard. In the morning, I want to have a meeting with Viktor and Igor,” Ivan seethed.

“Is he insane?” Anton cursed.

“Yes. Insane and dangerous. Promise me you will stay away from him.”

“I promise,” Anton answered.

“But Ivan, what are we going to do? We need him for business.”
