ROSE

Two days later, I had woken up early in the morning while the babies were still asleep.

I rubbed my aching eyes since I had cried during the night because I was crying about my parents, then about Lev, and I even started to compare myself with Ana, and so on.

I stood up from the bed, went to shower and did my business, afterward I made my way out of the bedroom as I left the door open in case any of my children woke up.

I stepped into the kitchen, where Nikolai was drinking his black coffee as he shifted his gaze towards me.

Nikolai stared strangely at me each time I met him in the mornings because he saw my red swollen eyes from the tears, but he did not comment at first because he thought I would get over it.

But now he realized how hard it was for me to get over somebody I loved.

I opened the freezer and took out butter, slices of cheese along with toast of bread as Nikolai stared at me in silence, dressed in his usual clothes which was a turtle-neck sweater along with pants.

Did he not have a multi-million-dollar empire to run, instead of staring and judging me at 8 AM?

"What?" I asked him because he had been sipping on his coffee and silently glaring at me.

"You cried again." Nikolai spoke bluntly with me.

"I did not." I lied while making my toast while I was alert in case Nadia or Helios started to cry.

"You did cry because of him into your pillow the entire night because you did not want your children to hear you." He says nonchalantly. 

I turned around to look at him with a gaping mouth because how did he know?

Could he understand telepathy? Or read my mind?

"Are you coming into my room in the middle of the night when I'm asleep?" I questioned him since he did come to my room, but that was whenever I had been awake.

"No, it was only a guess." He answered, drinking his black coffee without any sugar or milk because he did not like sweets.

"Don't you want to do something with your life? You are only twenty-two, like me," He comments.

I was surprised that he had a multi-million-dollar business due to his young age, but it was not that shocking since he was Nikolai Novikov, who inherited his family's entire fortune at the age of sixteen.

In reality, he owns a multi-million-dollar business, but his total net worth? He's a multi-billionaire because his parents were the elite who owned a family business that had been passed on for many decades.

After their death, he inherited every possible thing at the age of sixteen, but the inheritance had been kept away from him since he was only a teenager, until he turned eighteen, and inherited everything.

"What should I even do with my life? And I also have to focus on the children." I asked as I made my toast along with a cup of tea since Nikolai only used maids to clean the mansion, he did not allow them to make any meals. 

"You can get a degree, and come work for me?" He elaborates as he refilled his black coffee by a machine.

"And do what? Be a waiter at your restaurant and serve human meat to the guests?" I blurted out, as Nikolai took no offense at my response.

"You can work as a waiter at my restaurant, the pay is high, and the staff environment is good."

"But you can become a director at my company? Because I'm in need for one." He adds.
