Chapter 459: + - 459+
Silvia grimaced and forced herself to say the real reason she had come, "Angelo asked for you, I can’t get him to change his mind." She added, not hiding the fact that she disapproved of Nikolai.
Nikolai’s dark expression softened into something she didn’t expect to see on his face, it made Silvia sigh in resignation. "I hate to do this but please consider it, I don’t like seeing Angelo hurt."
Nikolai seemed to be struggling with himself and Silvia didn’t think she ever would, but right then, she understood the Mafia King. She was also dealing with an internal struggle herself.
"Then it’s not so smart to ask me. I’ll hurt him." Nikolai said calmly.
Silvia took a step back so that she didn’t do anything she would come to regret, like kick him in the balls. It almost felt like Nikolai was taunting her, or himself.
Because something had stood out when she found Angelo in the bathtub. The water had still been warm, so it meant that Nikolai had been painstakingly regulating the temperature, although it must have been torturous to be in the same room as Angelo.
"If Angelo asked for you, I think he would be fine with that," Silvia mumbled, looking away.
Besides Nikolai already threatened to kill anyone else so there weren’t a lot of options to begin with, she didn’t doubt that the Mafia King wouldn’t keep to his words.
Nikolai felt like he was standing at the edge of a steep cliff. No one ever wanted him, no one would willingly ask for him, and he was perfectly fine with that— or he thought he was.
