Free Web NovelChapter 54: Chapter 54 Aleksei.
Having completed all my other phone calls, I can no longer put off the final one.
I do not want to do this distasteful thing.
Perhaps Georgina believes I am merely a possessive beast when it comes to her. So possessive that I would steal her away from her own father, just so I can be the only male in her life. And while that is most certainly true, there is more to it than that.
When Georgina was much younger, I spent many nights pacing the hallway outside her bedroom, wishing to comfort her as she sobbed on the other side of the door, missing her mother. I was not capable of holding her in my arms yet, though. I was too hardened, then. Still recovering from the brutal life I’d lived in Russia. To have the angel in my arms at a time when I was so raw? I couldn’t be certain that I wouldn’t feast on the offering she presented. So sweet, so pure. The opposite of everything I’d ever known.
Her cries would torture me in those early days, make me tear at my hair. I would call her father and explain his daughter needed to be reassured. And often I would find him consoling himself with women or alcohol. He never came home. Never.
So I learned. I taught myself breathing exercises so I could let Georgina sob in my arms without doing something to break my vow. Some nights, I even slept on the floor beside her bed, talking her through bad dreams, all while being tortured with bare thighs, her smooth, little bottom as she tossed and turned. By the time she turned sixteen and regularly began sneaking into my room during thunderstorms, I’d built up enough strength to withstand the fierce, consuming need to possess her. Soon, I would tell myself.
Bottom line, it has been Georgina and me for five years. We are one. I’m not sure what kind of father David was before I arrived, but he behaved like an irresponsible piece of shit when his daughter needed him. I will not forgive him for that. And I feel no guilt in making her my wife without his knowledge or consent.
Georgina has wished him to be informed, however. It will make her pleased with me. So it will be done. Because it seems at age thirty – five, I can still learn new tricks.
Beneath the desk, my cock grows painfully thick, and I grip the hard flesh through my pants, thinking of the angel waiting for me once I finish this phone call. She will ask me if I’ve done as she requested, and I will answer by unzipping my pants. Ripping her out of whatever flimsy item of clothing she’s decided to tease me with today. Her smile will be the best part of all. If that’s not motivation to complete this unpleasant task, nothing is.
Snatching up the phone, I dial David’s number. He answers on the third ring.
“David Harris.”
“Da.” I twist my neck to crack it. “This is Aleksei.”
“Aleksei!” A television blares in the background. “I was wondering when I would hear from you. How did the college drop – off go?”
“There was a change of plans.”
A pause. “What do you mean?” frёewebnoѵēl.com
Annoyed at having to explain myself, I drum my fingers on the desk. “Are you aware, David, that the agreement we made five years ago concluded last night at five o’clock?”
“Agreement...” I can almost see the light bulb going off. “Keeping Georgina safe from my enemies, you mean?” His voice is guarded now. “Yes, I figured taking her to college would be your final task, before you returned here for work. Work more suited for someone of your experience.”
“There was more to the agreement. You know this well.”
The television is lowered as it dawns on him. The most difficult part of our agreement to keep was keeping Georgina innocent of men. Innocent of myself. “All right,” he shouts. “What the fuck is going on?”
“First of all, please accept my resignation. Now. As an ex – employee, I find your language...threatening.” I lower my tone. A tone that many men have heard just before meeting their end. “You really don’t want to threaten me.” free𝑤ebnovel.com
There’s some harsh breathing from David. “Where’s my daughter?”
“Probably resting.” I massage my rigid dick. “She needs it badly.”
He sputters. “You — you’re fucking her. I can’t believe this.”
“Language,” I remind him, red pinpricks beginning to dot my vision. “You will listen very carefully. Georgina is mine. I’ve cared for her when you would not. Despite my suffering, our vow remained intact until the agreed upon time. Any claim you had on her is hereby revoked.”
“You — ” Heavy pacing thunders down the line. “What about college? Who do you think will pay for that?”
“My accountant is putting a check in the mail reimbursing you for her tuition as we speak. You should receive it in the next day or so. I pay for all her needs now.” He begins to inquire about my finances, but I interrupt him. “You’ve been informed. Now I must go tend to my wife.” David stops breathing on the other end, his shock palpable. “She’s turning out to be quite insatiable. Just as I was hoping.”
“Jesus.” There’s a long pause. “Okay, look. Maybe I just need some time to get used to the idea of you and Georgina together. Truth is, you’re my best debt collector, Aleksei. I’ll let you keep the girl if you come back to work. No one else is remotely cutting it.”
“Let. Me. Keep her? Have you heard nothing I’ve told you?” I come to my feet, wishing for something to smash with my fists. “My ring is on her finger. She’s as good as bred.” He says nothing in response to that, and after I moment, I realize he’s still waiting for my answer. Whether or not I’ll come back to work. As always, his daughter comes in second place to his money and business dealings. Bastard. “You are too stupid to realize she’s the greatest treasure of all. If I have my way, you’ll never see her again.”
“So is that a no...?”
I hang up and toss my phone onto the desk in disgust. An urgency storms through me. I must go find Georgina and tell her she is important. That she is the most precious thing in the whole world and I will cherish her until my dying breath. She needs to know.
But when I leave my office, I immediately sense something is wrong. The usual buzz of Georgina’s energy is missing from the air. As are my car keys from the peg near the door.
When I stride to the front window and see my car is missing, my heart leaps from my chest. No. NO.
“Georgina!”
That’s when I see the note folded on the living room coffee table. Like a desperate, dying man, I grab it and read.
Don’t freak out.
I’m only at orientation, where I’m supposed to be.
This is the only way to make you understand how important school is to me. That I will go at all costs — even turning you into an ogre. You can’t control every move I make, Aleksei.
I will return to you tonight.
I will return to you every night, because I love you.
Nothing bad is going to happen.
Your Georgina
Stumbling back, I read the note again. You can’t control every move I make.
I did this?
Yes. Loving her, giving her a beautiful life was my aim, but I drove her away instead. I didn’t learn how to compromise fast enough. How many times did she stare out the window as a growing girl and sigh, asking me what the other girls her age were doing? Countless times. She has been a prisoner her whole life, now I’ve done it to her again.
Turning my head, I stare out the window at the world beyond, going through a horrifying checklist of everything that could happen to my wife without me to protect her. By virtue of being kept sheltered so long, Georgina has no idea what monsters lurk around every corner. But I do. I know too fucking well. And I can no more sit here waiting for her to come home like a patient husband than I could stop breathing.
