“Mikhail, I’m fine.” She puts her hand on my chest.

A shiver runs downmy spine at her touch.

“I still need to know.”

She takes hold of my wrist and lowers my hand from her face.

I frown, my body vibrating with nervous energy at the thought of what could have happened, but I let her lead me over to the bed where she sits down beside me.

“When I went to the bar, I noticed a guy was looking at me. I figured he thought I was hot or something, nothing more.”

My jaw clenches at the thought of anyone looking at her. She might be the biggest pain in my ass, but that doesn’t change the fact that this woman is mine to protect.

“But then, when I left to get my coat, he followed me.”

‘Fuck.” I run my hand over my jaw.

“So, I had the attendant take me out the back exit, and I headed to the park across the street. But he followed me there too.”

“Why the fuck didn’t you call me?”

“I didn’t want you to be disappointed in me,” she mumbles, lowering her eyes.

My chest tightens at the look on her face, but I refrain from scolding her again. Right now, my energy needs to be on finding out whoever this guy is.

“What did he look like?”

“Umm…”

“I really need you to remember.” I reach out to cup her face again.

Her throat bobs, and a crease appears between her eyebrows as she seems to think for a moment.

“He had a shaved head… Oh, and a snake tattoo that went up his neck.”

My blood turns cold in my veins.

There’s only one person I can think of who has a snake tattoo on his neck.

“Go and pack a bag right now.” I get to my feet.

“Why, where are we going?”

“We need to get out of the city.”

“Mikhail—”

“Lucia,please.”

For once, she doesn’t argue. Instead, she disappears into her walk-in closet to begin packing her things.

“I’ll be right across the hall,” I assure her as I pull out my phone to call Alexei.

“Mikhail?”

“There’s a situation,” I begin as I head into my room to start packing too.

“What is it?”
