Double Standard - Vivian POV

I tried to avoid Niko for the next couple days. He came home from God knows where and just beat the shit out of my guards. Then tells me to help that blonde chick. I was so mad at him that I just wanted to stab him. I needed him to agree to online classes though so I swallowed my anger and did what I do best. I ran away from him whenever he was near.

"Vivian!" He yelled for me as I slowly backed out of the living room. Shit! He saw me.

"Yes, Niko." I smiled sweetly earning a very disgusted look from him. I thought he like sweet and innocent to devour like a beast?

"Sophia will be here in a few hours. Did you set everything up?"

"Set what up, exactly?"

He looked at me like he was about to shoot me in the head. How was I supposed to know what he wanted if he didn't tell me?

"Niko, sir..." I cleared my throat because that sounded fucking weird. Just be nice, I can do this. "I can handle whatever she needs I just don't know what that is. Can you please inform me, s...ir?" God that was hard.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Now he stood and was in my face. Even when I'm nice I piss him off.

"I'm being nice." I gave him a big smile.

"I don't like it. You want something. Ask before I rip it out of you." His eyes were so cold speaking to me. Why is he like this?

"Well maybe just one little thing." I kept my smile.

"Speak woman before I make sure you never speak again." That came out really scary from his lips.

Maybe I should wait to ask. No! I can't wait anymore. Tomorrow is the deadline. Deep breath.

"Can I take a few classes..."

"No! Go away. I don't have time for this." He moved to sit back down.

"Niko!" I whined.

"You are getting too comfortable. Listen to what you are told or I'll make this hell for you." His eyes were still void of emotions as he threatened me. I guess this wasn't happening.

"Fine! What do you need from me for Sophia?" I asked with an eye roll.

"She wants to finish her last year of university. Help her get set up when she arrives later." He kept his gaze to his phone as he sat on the couch in a black suit.

My mouth dropped open. This motherfucker.

"You are a fucking bastard. I hope you get shot in the fucking head the next time you leave this house." I spun on my heels and ran upstairs before I started hitting him.

Of course, it was fine for Sophia to go to school, fine for Sophia to marry Tommy, fine for Sophia to leave the house. She was a made men's daughter, I was just a whore. I don't even get any sex out of the deal. This was bullshit.

I looked in the mirror and saw the tears running down my face. I grabbed my brush and chucked it at the mirror making large cracks in it. I didn't want to see my ugly pathetic existence anymore.

"Is this because of Tommy?" Niko was at my door watching me. He was fucking amused that I was losing my mind.

"I hate you." I spoke low in defeat then just curled under my covers to cry. I know I was acting like a child. I've been stuck in this house with basically only Mario and Marie to speak to for over a month now. Everything I wanted was gone with no hope of getting it back.

"Marie!" The beast shouted.

"Yes, boss."

"Fix her!" He said then I heard him walk away. I didn't need to be fixed. I needed a fucking purpose in life.

"Oh, child why do you carry on like a toddler?" she asked slowly peeling the covers from my head.

"He said no to online classes then told me to help Sophia sign up for school. He is a cruel fucker and I hate him." I sobbed a little more.

"It's only been a month. Give it some time and I'm sure he will let you. You need to start speaking more properly to him if you hope to get anything other than death."

"I feel like I've been trapped here for years Marie. I'm going out of my mind."

"Mario come take Ms. V to the gardens. Your butterflies may have bloomed. That will help calm you, I'm sure. I'll bring tea out shortly."

"Thank you!" I got up and washed my face then brushed my hair. I didn't feel even a little bad about the mirror either. It would be fixed before the day was done. There was nothing I could do to hurt Niko or to make him care. I swear he liked seeing me miserable.

I walked past the beast as I headed to the garden with Mario.

"Vivian!" He called

"Not speaking to you." I replied and kept walking.

"Mario bring Vivian to me." He ordered

I turned and gave Mario a stare then just turned and walked to Niko. Mario couldn't disobey the boss man.

"What?"

"Sophia is here." He pointed to a blond girl that looked to be sixteen. I know it wasn't her fault but I hated her. It wasn't fair she could do anything she wanted while I was stuck here.

"And?"

"Do you think it would be wise for me to have to repeat myself?"

"Fine demon." I grabbed Sophia hand and pulled her to the study. I heard him chuckle behind me and it only made me hate him more.

We spent three hours registering her for classes and all I wanted to do was cry. She was taking these bullshit art or home economics courses.

"Why are you even going to school?"

"To be close to Niko silly." She simply responded. Even better, she gets to do what I want and doesn't even want it.

"Are you two now arranged to be married?"

"Not officially, but once I finish school then we will. I'm the best choice for him to take as a wife. It's practically the law we will marry."

"Good luck with him. He is a beast." I meant that in more than one way. I tried not to think about that night I saw him but it kept replaying in my mind.

"So, you two were a thing? What is sex like?" She nearly bounced in her seat. Did she really just ask that?

"We were never a thing and never will be. Sex in general is great, I guess. That is an odd question?"

"Never had sex. I have to be kept pure for my husband."

I burst out laughing at that. "Oh fuck, you're serious!"

"Of course, I am silly."

"Oh, right. Sorry, I don't know all the rules. I'm sure an old man like Niko will enjoy you." I wanted to gag. He was like fifteen years older than her and seriously kept pure?

"He is so good looking. Can I tell you something?" She lowered her voice and I nodded to her. This was going to be good.

"When I found out I was promised to Tom I was a little upset. I would of course do my wifely duties, as I've been raised, but I always had a crush on Nikola. Something about how he commands obedience gets me really excited. Tom was always fun and kind to me but he wanted so much I didn't understand. Like school! I have no need to go to school but Tom thought it would make me more well-rounded. Nikola always made fun of him for it. He said a Capo's wife only needs to know how to take care of a house and spread her legs wide at night. That was all I was raised to know to do."

"So, you like this life? Want to be just a trophy wife to some big bad man? Don't you want your own things?"

"My husband and children are my own things. To raise the future Capo is a great honor." She held her head proudly. I guess when this is the only life you know of it becomes all you want.

"I guess that makes sense." I gave her a smile even though I thought that was total shit.

I left Sophia to go with her guards to the store for supplies. I wasn't allowed to leave the house and for the first time was thankful for it. That child was so annoying and clueless to how life really was.

"I completed my assignment, boss." I saluted him and grabbed a bottle of water.

"Where are you going?"

"To the garden. Flowers and books are all I got in my life now. Unless you need something else from me." I walked over to where he sat at the table. His legs were spread open facing off the side, his finger tapped his laptop as he stared at me.

"I don't understand you, Vivian. You have everything at your fingertips. Why are you pouting now?"

"Maybe because I want something from you!" I bit my lip walking closer to him. His eyes darkened looking at me like he was imagining my death. I'm beginning to think this is the only look he has.

"Back to games, Kitten. I told you to be careful."

My legs straddled his waist and surprisingly he didn't push me off. "What if I want to be devoured?"

His large hand squeezed my ass pulling me directly over his center. Fuck he was hard and fucking huge. Wait! Why was I doing this?

"That can be arranged kitten. I have a special room down the hall for my whores." He whispered in my ear. It really should repulse me but there was something desirable about the big bad man.

"Will you keep your whores even after you rip into that virgin with this beast?" I rode his dick and made he grunt loudly.

"What the fuck are you carrying on about now?" His hand grabbed my waist rocking me back and forth. I grabbed his wrist to stop the friction that was feeling so fucking good.

"Sophia told me about her purity for the Capo. You men disgust me and Tommy was just as much as a bastard as you." I saw the anger rise in his eyes but I didn't care. They were sick.

I climbed off him, grabbed my water, and slammed the door shut. I really didn't mean to ride his dick like that. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind and then that happened. I was wet between my legs and God I really missed sex.

"Hey V. Want to play today." Dominick was by my roses with his sexy little smile on. He's been coming over a lot the past month and always hitting on me. It felt weird to carry on with Tommy's cousin, but now I really don't care.

"Yes!" I responded then bent my finger for him to come to me. His eyes widened then that cute smile took over his face as he approached me.

"Finally!" He said as his mouth took mine. I giggled over his lips.

"Was I teasing you too much?" I spoke low, then continued kissing him.

"Fuck yes, but so worth it. You're so fucking sexy V." He picked me up and moved me to a table for seeding. Then somehow, I was slammed into a hard wall and broke our kiss to look behind me. Shit!
