EP 8

Natalia POV's
The evening is unusually warm, but I still feel cold all over as I step out of the restaurant.
My father grabs my arm and hastily ushers me toward the car, asking me questions along the way, but I can’t focus on his words. I open the passenger door and sit down
My legs are trembling. Looks like the adrenaline ran out and I’m feeling the aftereffects
I’ve never been as scared as the moment I entered that restaurant, wondering if they had changed their minds and decided to kill us
The wheelchair didn’t fool me, I knew who I was facing the moment our gazes met—a stone-cold killer.
Rodion Ivanov
I assumed he was some elderly guy with a beer belly and receding hairline. Why would he be blackmailing a woman into marriage otherwise? I couldn’t have been more wrong.
During our conversation, I tried my best to keep my eyes fixated on his, but I still managed to steal a few glances elsewhere.
The man is incredibly handsome
That was evident even in the scarce light. I couldn’t pinpoint his height, but with him in a sitting position and me standing, our heads were at the same level
He surely had more than a foot on me. It’s not a nice thing to say, but I was relieved he was in a wheelchair. Being near tall men is a serious problem for me, and the idea of being stuck together with one for six months sent me into a shitstorm of panic.

I tried to go in but the goons wouldn’t let me
I take a deep breath and, watching the cars pass us on the driveway, start giving him the short version of the deal I made with the head of the Russian underworld
The less he knows, the better
