The warehouse underground arena was packed.
Smoke filled the air.
Money exchanged hands rapidly while dangerous men and women surrounded the fighting ring waiting for blood.
Nikolai stepped out wearing a black vest with white bandages wrapped tightly around his hands.
The atmosphere instantly shifted.
Everyone became quiet.
An older man approached him slowly with bodyguards behind him.
"Nick great to see you wow My daughter was right you are extremely handsome and successful now" the man smiled.
Damian narrowed his eyes.
"And who exactly your daughter?"
The old man smirked proudly.
"Abellona"
"Oh that bitch" Addison muttered coldly.
The old man expression darkened instantly.
"Watch your tone woman"
His name was Don Emilio Carbone.
A powerful Russian mafia Don.
Addison moved forward fearlessly.
"Do your worse Old fucker"
Nikolai suddenly slammed his bandaged fist against the table violently.
Everyone froze.
"Your daughter crossed lines and my boundaries"
His cold eyes became terrifying.
"Nobody Absolutely nobody Touches My wife"
"You mean that child? She mentally unstable Boy My—"
Before Don Emilio could finish—
Nikolai grabbed him by the throat violently.
The entire warehouse went silent.
"Now listen old fucker"
Nikolai grip tightened.
"My Wife is your Queen"
Veins bulged against his neck.
"Since you all lost respect thinking am weak now watch"
His voice echoed darkly through the room.
"What I do to you and your Slut of a daughter will pay for everything she done"
"I will wipe out your entire family"
"Move"
He shoved Don Emilio backward violently.
The old man coughed heavily struggling to breathe.
Then Nikolai entered the fighting ring.
The crowd clapped loudly.
Not cheering.
Watching.
Waiting.
His opponent stepped forward.
A giant man.
Tall.
Massive.
Drug-filled muscles ripped beneath his skin.
Then Nikolai eyes slowly lifted upward toward the VIP section.
There—
The man who called Lily.
The same bastard.
He smirked while drinking casually.
Nikolai remembered Lily tiny worried voice instantly.
"No boo boos and there there Mkay Nikki?"
His jaw tightened.
He promised her.
The bell rang loudly.
The giant rushed forward instantly throwing a powerful punch toward Nikolai face.
But Nikolai caught the fist midair effortlessly.
"Watch it man"
He twisted the man wrist painfully.
"I promised my wife not get injured bro wanna get me killed?"
Then—
Bang!
Nikolai headbutted him brutally.
The groups watched silently as Nikolai anger increased more and more.
The atmosphere became suffocating.
"YOU ALL LOST RESPECT FOR THE KING OF FUCKING KINGS!"
His voice thundered through the warehouse.
The giant roared charging again.
This time—
Punch!
His fist smashed directly into Nikolai face.
Blood splattered.
Gasps filled the room.
"Oh no…" Darya whispered.
Then—
Lily tiny voice echoed in his mind again.
"No boo boos pinky promise Nikki!"
One of the bandages slowly loosened from Nikolai hand.
His eyes darkened completely.
The King snapped.
Completely.
Upstairs the bastard clapped mockingly.
That made everything worse.
Nikolai moved forward slowly toward the giant.
The man tried swinging again.
But Nikolai grabbed him by the throat instantly.
"How am I supposed explain this to my tiny wife about this?"
He pointed toward the blood on his face.
Then—
He began beating him.
Not punches.
Brutal heavy fist blows.
Over and over.
Bones cracked loudly.
Blood exploded everywhere.
"HOW DARE YOU ALL DISRESPECT ME!!!!!!"
Abellona watched upstairs terrified.
The entire warehouse trembled with fear.
Finally—
Nikolai delivered one last devastating blow.
The giant collapsed instantly.
Dead.
Silence.
Then the announcer screamed.
"NIKOLAI REALLY REMAINS UNDEFEATED!"
"HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER!" Rima shouted proudly.
Suddenly—
Every single member stood up.
Then dropped to their knees before him.
Men.
Women.
All bowing.
"TSAR TSAREY(KING OF KINGS!)"
Their voices echoed together loudly.
Nikolai stood there breathing heavily blood running down his face.
He wiped it away coldly.
"Here boss" Enzo said handing him a towel.
"How are we going explain this to Lily?" Sergei muttered nervously.
"She gonna beat us all" Jaxon sighed.
"No kidding" Brandon agreed.
Nikolai slowly looked toward everyone.
"Everyone knows am married and my wife your Queen"
The warehouse became silent again.
"If anyone dares lay a finger on her even your long life generations will tremble hearing about the torture and Death given to you"
Cold fear spread across every face.
"When you see her anywhere"
"Bow"
"Respect"
"Take care of her"
"UNDERSTOOD!?"
"YES BOSS!"
Nikolai walked away afterward.
Locker Room
Inside the locker room Nikolai sat breathing heavily still boiling with anger.
Sabrina carefully bandaged the cut on his face.
"Sorry boss"
He rubbed his forehead frustrated.
"What am I gonna do now"
The door suddenly opened.
"Nick baby are you okay?"
Abellona walked in with Don Emilio and several armed men.
Nikolai expression instantly hardened.
"Ladies handle this"
Without another word he walked away toward the VIP room alongside the men.
Inside—
He saw him.
Dimitri Volkov.
The man who called Lily.
The same man who arranged the match.
"Hello Nikolai" Dimitri smirked.
Women filled the room laughing and drinking.
Nikolai stared coldly.
Now—
It begins.
Meanwhile In Mexico
The beach waves crashed gently beneath the bright sun.
Lilith sat happily in the sand building a large sandcastle.
Her tiny fingers carefully placed seashells along the walls proudly.
"All done!"
"Good job Sweetie this beautiful" Hana smiled warmly.
"Like Y..Y..You aunty!" Lilith giggled.
"Awww thank you love"
Hana hugged her tightly.
"Come on Lily lunch time" Astraea called.
They all guided her inside.
Zafraan arranged her food plate neatly before sitting beside her.
"Open"
Lily obediently opened her mouth while he fed her carefully.
"We have treat her tomorrow" Dr Violet whispered.
"Yeah it gonna hurt abit" Dr Mason sighed.
Valeria suddenly smirked.
"I have idea"
She leaned close whispering something to the girls.
Their eyes widened.
Then they immediately began making phone calls.
Nightfall
Lilith eventually fell asleep peacefully.
Arina quietly took a picture of her sleeping and sent it to Nikolai.
Russia
"She very gorgeous" Dimitri commented casually while drinking.
"Too bad she mine" Nikolai answered coldly while typing on his phone.
Suddenly—
Guns were drawn.
Both groups aimed at each other instantly.
"I don't have time waste"
Nikolai slowly stood up.
"I need head back fast but first—"
His eyes darkened murderously.
"How dare you call my wife that in middle of night knowing fully well she asleep"
"Nobody disturb her beauty sleep you fucker!"
Then Nikolai attacked him violently.
Punch after punch after punch.
Dimitri face turned blue and black instantly.
Finally Nikolai grabbed him and hurled him directly through the glass.
Crash!
Everyone froze.
"GET LOST!"
His voice shook the room.
Then he walked out.
Everyone followed.
Back Home
"Hi My sweet sweet babies!" Rima squealed happily kissing Yasmine and Yasmin cheeks repeatedly.
The girls giggled loudly.
"Pretty Mama we on holiday now!" Yasmin cheered.
"That great We go see your father right?"
The twins nodded excitedly.
Nearby Nikolai sat beside Dylan.
"Hey Danny how are you?"
"Me otayyy You otay too?" Dylan smiled.
"All done with school?"
"Uh huh"
"Alright let go pack your bags and meet your mama and Tarry right?"

"No no no no—!"

His body dropped lifelessly.
Nikolai looked toward the first guard.
"You fired"
"Take that money and start new life for yourself"
The crying guard thanked him repeatedly while being escorted out.
Mexico
"Here you go Lily all good" Yulian smiled softly trying feed her.
But Lilith barely ate anything.
"N..Nikki call?" she asked sadly.
Yulian slowly shook his head.
Instantly tears filled her eyes.
"Lily s..s…s…scared"
She wiped her tears sadly.
The family reunion was only two days away.
Romina smirked secretly alongside several girls clearly planning something.
At the dining table—
"Here Lily come on eat" Alvaro encouraged softly.
She ate only a little.
Later everyone sat outside in the courtyard while children played happily nearby.
Then suddenly—
"Now" Samantha whispered.
Several people emerged carrying stones and sticks.

His voice became terrifyingly calm.

Nobody dared speak.
Everyone boarded the plane immediately.
The jet engines roared loudly.
Then—
The plane took off into the dark sky.
