Page 78 of The Virgin I Desire

I sank into the leather chair and let out a long, deep sigh. I had two problems to solve and needed to deal with them before I lost control of the situations.

I pulled my cell phone, which was on the table, and sent a message to Pietra.

Mikhail:

You have to tell your father, or I will.

Pietra:

Good morning to you too.

Mikhail:

Good morning.

Pietra:

I need more time.

Mikhail:

You've had enough time. With an alliance or not, I want you here.

Pietra:

But I'm not going to miss my family in the process, you know that.

Please don't make me choose. I beg of you.

Mikhail:

What about me and my need to be with you?

Pietra:

You know I feel the same way.

Mikhail:

Then act soon.

Pietra:

I will do it with caution.

Mikhail:

I want you by my side, where I can protect you before anything happens.

I won't forgive myself for allowing you to be hurt or worse.

Pietra:

What do you mean? I'm at my family's house, safe.

Mikhail:

They're trying to kill me. I still haven't found who is behind it and in the meantime, if they find out that we are together you could become a target.
