The Billionaire Mafia’s Slave

CHAPTER 63: I NEED AN EXPLANATION

GALINA POV:

Let me reintroduce myself.

I’m Galina Vladimir, the last born child and only daughter of the powerful and feared Vladimir family. My father, Oleg Vladimir, has the world at his feet, my mother, Ksenia Vladimir, is one of the most influential woman of her age and class.

Roman, my oldest brother, is very vicious yet protective of me. Then we have my favorite brother, Nikolai. He is a meaner version of my father, he is dominant and scary.

I don’t lack anything as I can get what I want with just a snap of my finger. My family are always willing to punish or kill whosoever dare to wrong me, I am the life of the party and I can get any man I want.

Politician sons, businessmen, celebrities, underworld leaders and party boys would worship the ground I walk on yet I can’t get one guy out of my mind. It was Lev, my brother’s right-hand man and childhood friend.

I don’t know when it started but it happened, I grew feelings for Lev before he went away with Nikolai to the US.

It all started three years ago, when Lev was sent to come pick me up at a club me and my friends went to. I was so wasted, dancing sexily and practically stripping.

I can swear I’m not usually like that but, I was only trying to forget the drama at home, it has always been toxic at home so I wanted to go away.

What I remembered from that night was I was dancing sexily and two guys came up to me, asking me how much I charged for a night. I was really offended and I slapped the one who asked me such.

“How… how dare y-you! Don’t you kn… know who I am?!”, I drunkenly asked. At that point everyone in the club had their eyes on the girl who just hit a guy, me.

“FUCKING BITCH! You dare slap me?!!”, The guy I slapped asked.

He was so red in anger and he raised his hand to hit me back, I closed my eyes and shrink in fear but the slap never landed. Next thing I heard shouting and screaming, I opened my eyes and I saw my brother’s right-hand man, Lev, beating the shit out of that man.

It was at that moment I knew I wouldn’t view him as just an ordinary person.

I started developing a huge crush on Lev. I would stalk him when he wasn’t around the mansion, I took secret pictures of him and would look at it at bedtime till I fall asleep, I created fake scenarios in my head where Lev and I were dating and I secretly got him gifts.

Till one day, he approached me and I felt the brightest butterflies in my stomach.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Stop stalking me Galina”, He told me and the smile on my face turned into a sad pout.

“I-I don’t know wh-what you’re talking about”, I feigned innocence. He sighed, putting both hands in his pocket, he leaned closer to me and I held my breath.

“I’m not stupid, I know you have been stalking and following me for months now. Why?”, He said.

Since the truth was out, no need for hiding anymore. I decided to come clean.

“I like you”, I looked him straight in the eyes and told him, he furrowed his brows looking a little confused.

“What do you mean?”, He asked.

“I mean, I like you and I want to date you”, I said, he paused for a few seconds before laughed his lungs out.

“Did I say anything funny?”, I asked a little confused.

“Yes… Stop playing pranks Galina, I don’t have time for that”, He replied, immediately stopped laughing and left.

I sighed, feeling down. It was like he doesn’t notice me or see me as a girl, but no problem, I’m not one to give up.

After that day, I stopped stalking or sending Lev gifts, thinking that would get his attention but it was like I don’t even exist. I have already ran out of ideas to make him like me back.

Then came the day my brother’s send-off party took place, Ivan was the one who threw a surprise send-off party for him knowing how much he hated parties and surprises.

It was at a hotel with strippers and all, Lev was present but he didn’t look at me once. A stripper girl was talking to him and touching his shoulders that I felt like punching her face.

I got jealous and waited for when Nikolai and Ivan stepped out to talk about business, I stood up and took off my silver spaghetti strap dress, I was left cladded in just my pant and bra.

I got on top of the stage and held the stripping pole. I was my first time but I would do anything for Lev’s attention. It wasn’t up to 10 seconds before I felt a strong hand grabbing my hands and taking me down the stage.

I looked up to the person and it was Lev, my blood boiled with anger and jealousy.

“LET GO OF ME!”, I yelled at him, struggling to break free but he didn’t pay attention to me.

He took me out of the private room and into one of the vacant hotel room, locking the door, he turned to me and was looking at me like he was about to strangle me.

“What do you think you’re doing?”, He asked me.

“I should be asking you that question. Why did you bring me here when I was trying to dance?!”.

He scoffed and looked at me from head to toe, I heard him cause understand his breath.

“Why are you making things difficult for me?”, Lev walked towards me, asking. I gulped but stood my ground.

“I don’t– what are you tr-trying to say?”, I was truly oblivious to what he meant.

He paced around the room, like he was trying to control himself. I was feeling cold and naked in just my bra and panties.

I walked past him to go get my dress back but he grabbed me and pinned me against the wall, kissing me like he was hungry for me. He took me by surprise and I couldn’t keep up with his speed.

We had passionate sex that night, it was like I was born anew.

But he left immediately after that and acted like nothing happened between us. He avoided me, didn’t call or text and he didn’t mention what happened that night ever again.

It was so heart breaking that that night meant nothing to him. I was so angry and that anger resulted in me hating and pretending like he never existed. I tried so hard to forget about that night but I couldn’t.

It wasn’t my first but it was the first time I wished to hold it dear to my heart.

***

Fast forward to the present, in the conservatory, I saw him go into the conservatory and I don’t know what moved my legs to follow him.

This was my favorite place in the whole mansion, it was beautiful and quiet, a place where I can be alone with my thoughts.

“What are you doing here?”, I asked Lev and he quickly turned around to face me.

He looked at me and an almost invisible smile played on his lips.

“Last I checked, this place is opened to anyone”, He replied with a sarcastic look.

“Cut the bullshit and just get out” I said to him.

“Galina–“.

“LEAVE!!”, I yelled and he sighed, he nodded and left. I broke down in tears, still hurting badly from his treatment.

Years have passed but it felt just like yesterday. I was angry at him for not explaining things to me, did I do something wrong?

I cleaned my tears, promising not to cry over him again and left the conservatory.
