Whiskey Poison

The hottest man I’ve ever seen is now my new boss— and I’m stuck in a house with him… Until one of us cracks. I’ve got debt—yeah, I know, so does everyone else on Planet Earth. But the bills I’m paying keep my dad and my grandma alive. So it’s pretty messed-up for Timofey Viktorov to use them as a threat to keep me under control. Not that he cares. As a billionaire CEO, he takes no prisoners in the boardroom. And as the don of the Viktorov Bratva, he takes no prisoners in real life, either. Which is why he has no qualms about extorting me into taking his deal. Live in my mansion… Care for my baby… Or suffer the consequences. But he’s not the only one with an agenda. Timofey has skeletons in his closet—and I’m determined to dig them out. He’s just as determined to keep me far away from the secrets of his past. The longer I’m in his house, the tenser things get. Every time we brush past each other in the hallway, something sparks. Every time we cross paths in the night, the ice grows thinner. Sooner or later, it’s going to crack.

CHAPTER 113

PIPER

As soon as Timofey steps out of the apartment, I spin around and go back to Noelle's room.

"We need to go," I tell her. "Now.You have two minutes to grab anything you might need. Can you do it?"

Noelle is shaking in the middle of the bed, staring down at her own folded up knees beneath the blankets. She looks like a helpless child.

I lean against the edge of the bed. "Can you hear me, Noelle? Do you understand what I'm saying? We need to go now."

If I can get Noelle away from Timofey and get her talking, maybe I can get more information about where Benjamin is. All I know is I won't get anything if I let Timofey drag me out of here and lock me up in his mansion.

"I can stay here. Mom said I can stay," Noelle says. "This is my room."

"I know this is your room, but we can't talk if we stay here. Timofey is coming back and—"

Her eyes go wide. "Timofey will hurt me."

"No, he won't. He won't do that. I promise."
