Her Return

Chapter 50

"Nu ya dumal, vy sdelayete isklyucheniye dlya docheri Aleksandra Volkova i syna Dmitriya Ivanova" they all tensed

Well I thought you'd make an exception for Aleksandr Volkov's daughter and Dimitri Ivanov's son

"Mne ochen' zhal', chto my ne znali. Otmenite nashi vstrechi na segodnya" he tells the girl after he apologizes to me

I'm so sorry we had no idea. Cancel our appointments for today

"Eto normal'no, ty ne mog znat' "

It's fine you couldn't have known

Niko and I both head to the back and sit down. I'm in one room with my artist and he's in the other with his.

We went back and forth on what I wanted now and in the future. I was going for a trash polka design because I loved how unique it was but my artist Maksim asked if I wanted a design that had more significance than looking cool. He said that I wasn't the first leader to want something cool or bad ass looking. So we came up with a new design that signified me ascension into leadership. Instead of a rib piece we were gonna do an arm tattoo this weekend if I can sit through it. Then I'll do a sleeve on my leg on the opposite side. It'll probably be on my hip and thigh. Lastly, I'll something on my back to connect the two tattoos. It's a really cool concept and I've always wanted to be the hot tattooed chick.

At one point we even consider getting a really dainty flowery tattoo of an owl hiding behind flowers. Something that wouldn't stand out so much but I declined because that's not me at all. I want something bold to show off my pride in my mafia.

Once he finishes sketching I put on my headphones and relax as music starts playing while he starts my tattoo.

It hurts like a mother fuck but it's nothing I can't handle. I'm honestly excited for how it's gonna come out. I'm even more excited for my end results in a couple months. I wondered how Niko was holding up, but I assume better than I was considering this wasn't his first rodeo.

48 Hours Later

Niko finished his tattoo on the first and has been holding my hand anytime the pain became overwhelming. We're on day four of my last twelve hour session. I've felt every second of this tattoo. I'm so ready for it to be over

"vse gotovo, boss"

All done boss

"Yebena mat'! Spasibo ogromnoye! Takzhe tebe ne nuzhno nazyvat' menya bossom"

Holy shit! Thank you so much! Also you don't have to call me boss

He wrapped up my tattoo and gave me instructions for it. Then I went back up front to pay for my tattoo

"You should've let me pay for yours since you paid for mine." he said

"My tattoo was like twelve times longer than yours. Why would I make you pay?" I rolled my eyes

Once I paid and tipped we went out for dinner where Nikolai paid for our meals against my wishes.

We're now back at our parents's penthouse and playing Super Mario Maker on the switch

His phone has been blowing up all day and he keeps ignoring it.

"Are you gonna answer that?"

"I don't want to."

"Why not?"

"It's Maddie. I know she's calling because I didn't tell her I was going out. I'm supposed to let her know so she doesn't worry. I didn't say anything cause I knew she would approve especially this spontaneous trip with you. I'm having fun hanging out with you and I don't want her to ruin it. She never lets us hangout together alone. I just want this."

"Niko just leave her."

"I can't do better than her and we've been together so long. I don't wanna make this harder on the kids." He threw out excuses

"You staying with her hurts you, the kids, and your family. Do you think we like seeing you flinch all the time? Do you think we wanna keep hearing the twins lie about mommy not hitting daddy? You need to leave for your kids sake or I can kill her."

"Stop."

"I'm serious."

"I know you are. That's why I want you to drop this. I just wanna hangout with you. I don't need a one man intervention.

"Okay." I frowned

"Let's make this game more interesting." Niko suggested with a mischievous look

"How?"

"Every time we die take a shot." he said while setting down a couple bottles of liquor and shot glasses

"I can't dad doesn't want me drinking or smoking in his house and he owns this."

"Well he's not here, the drinking age is 18 here, and it's a best friends trip so fuck the rules!"

"Fuck it I'm down." I caved with very little convincing

Four hours in I get a call

"Shit It's dad!" I freaked out

"Answer it he's probably checking in."

I answered on speaker

"Hello?"

"You know I have cameras in all my homes?"

"Fuck." I cursed

"I already notified the pilot to fuel the jet. So grab your stuff and come back to LA because Niko has work to do and you have your family's dinner. Also you still have to give your speech at the opening in 28 hours."

"Cmon Aleksandr let us have our fun. We rarely hang out." Niko slurred

"No" dad answered

"Fine I'll grab my keys." he sighed

"ARE YOU ON FUCKING CRACK TOO?!?!" Dimitri yelled

"Nope just lots of your alcohol."

"When you two get back I want both of you to report to my office. I'm also going to notify my driver to pick you up because you're wasted."

"Tha-" he hung up

"We're so fucked." he laughed and I nodded

What do you think their punishment is gonna be?

Will Niko ever leave Maddie?
