Chapter 28
GREYS POV
It was the next morning, me and Annabelle were shopping to get new clothes for me, and its about time. Sin wouldn't buy me
clothes, and I was just so thankful for Annabelle and Gabriel.
"Alright, where do you want to start? Biondini? Capsule? L'Esthète?" She asked with an exited smile. I guess she didn't go
shopping too often considering she was naming some of the most expensive boutiques in Paris.
I blushed, "How about GAP?"
she rolled her eyes, "Grey, money isn't a problem considering how much money your mother and father left you."
I smiled sheepishly and nodded as we made out way to the 17th arrondissement, where L'Espionne boutique was.
about an hour later we exited, with six bags filled with eleven blouses, two pairs of skinny jeans, eight dresses, and seven pairs
of shoes.
We put the bags in the car, and made our way to the next store, called Companero.
"Hey Grey, I'm going to go check out the old lady clothes." She winked "I'll catch up, you keep shopping, okay?"
I nodded, "Okay."
I continued to sift through the hangers when a voice chirped next to me.
"Oh my gosh. You are just beautiful! Your figure is amazing! Here try this on, please thank you so much!"
I turned to a woman with a black pixi cut du. Her lids were piled down with thick black makeup that made her blue eyes seem
grey.
She shoved a black dress at me and a pair of heels.
I frowned at her.
Her red lips turned upward, "I'm so sorry forgive me miss, Bonjour I'm Claire, I work here."
I nodded as she led me into the changing room, I had no idea why I was actually going through with this, maybe it was because
for once in my life I actually felt like being nice.
I slipped into the skin tight, high-cut black dress and heels.
"Okay Claire." I said as I opened the door "I'm dress-"
My heart stopped, "Xavier?"
He smiled sheepishly at me, his chocolate brown hair was fluffy and shiny, his hazel eyes glimmered down at me.
His tall and well-built figure blocked my path to exit.
His eyes trailed over my outfit, "I like it." He smiled.
I tugged down the end of the dress, "I'm going to assume that you hired Claire to get me in here."
He nodded-guilty.
I cocked my eye brow, "And the dress?"
He shrugged, "My fun."
"Creep."
I shifted uncomfortable, even though I was somewhat happy for his familiar face.
"How did you find me?" I asked.
"Nikolai's men followed you on your flight. Sin's orders."
My muscles relaxed at the mention of Sin, "Is...Sin here?" I asked.
He cocked his head to the side, a smirk plastered on his lips, "No, why?"
I shrugged, "Just curious."
He nodded and took a few steps towards me.
I backed up, "No, I'm not going with you. I refuse. I have a home now."
"Staying with your parents friends, until you can find a more suitable place to stay, is not home." He said with another step.
"Oh, and staying in a hotel with a bunch of sexy, unstable Russian Mafia men is?" I said while looking around for a place to
escape.
"Did I just hear you call me...what was that...sexy?"
I waved it off, "Oh don't pretend like you don't know. All of you stupid Russian Mafia men are damn gorgeous."
He shrugged, "Okay, let's get down to business...your coming with me."
"Ah, no." I replied quickly.
"Uh, Yeah you are."
"Nope."
He rolled his eyes,"Okay let's just deal with this the easier way. You stop being a child, and come with me."
"But I don't wanna."
"But you will..." Came another Familiar voice.
"Oh. Okay. Hey nik, what's up? Come to join the party?" I said in an annoyed voice, as the gorgeous Nikolai came out from the
curtain.
He shrugged his white-blond hair flicking slightly, "Sorry babe, I'm here on business."
Darn.
I cursed myself for not bringing my gun, of all fucking days, I choose today.
I realized that there was no way out. damn it all. okay.
"But my clothes are all in Annabelle's car."
"We already got those." Nik said with an amused smile.
"Fuck." okay now I had a plan.
"Let me just take this dress off, and we can go."
"Actually" Nikolai cut in "I quite like that dress, especially on you, we'll buy it on the way out. lets just go."
I nodded, forming the plan in my head.
"Can you guys get some of my bags? They're in dressing room number twelve. There's a lot of them."
They walked past me to get it, and in that moment I ran out the door, but of course wearing heels I fell.
"Oh Grey, smart girl." I heard Nikolai's hot breath in my ear as I was suddenly lifted up into the crook of Nik's strong arms.
He carried me out of the boutique, covering my face so that I couldn't look to find Annabelle.
Next thing I knew; was feeling the freezing air of Paris in winter, it slapping me in the head. I curled deeper into Nikolai's arms.
He chuckled, "It's okay sweetie." He said as he pressed me closer to his warm chest.
They sat me in a black tinted SUV.
There were Five men, Xavier, and Nikolai.
I sat down, Nikolai's comforting arms were still wrapped around me.
"I'm sorry." He breathed into my ear.
I was just about to ask what for, when I felt something sharp penetrate the skin on my neck, and I felt sleepiness arouse me.
The last thing I felt was the hot lips of Nikolai on my forehead, and then darkness.
