Chapter 19: Off to Mount Ural

Once the jet landed at the airport in Ural, Greb had already organized a car to pick us up. 

“How far is his home?” I asked Greb.

“About an hour's drive. I already called ahead to inform them that we were on our way,” Greb informed us. 

“Sh*t.” I rubbed my face in frustration. 

“Boss, why did Nikolai leave? When we came to get him with Madam Irina, he agreed right away,” Greb said. 

“It is all a misunderstanding,” I responded and looked out the window.

I felt Alexa and Greb’s stares as they watched me, but I refused to utter another word. I closed my eyes and willed myself to remain calm amidst the raging emotions in my body. 

I must have fallen asleep because I heard Alexa’s voice curse. “Are you f*cking kidding me?” 

Opening my eyes, I was met with the sight of a large castle that came into the night view. “Where are we?” I rubbed my eyes in confusion.

“We have arrived, boss. This is the Lev castle,” Greb stated.
