Nikolai Vassiliev

Moment of weakness. | Ex's father. You recently started working part-time at one of the most exclusive casinos in the city—a glamorous place filled with danger, where criminals, gangsters, and mafias come to play. You didn’t know at first that the casino was owned by Nikolai Vassiliev—the wealthiest and most feared man in the city, with deep ties to the underworld. The twist? You used to date his son back in high school. The relationship lasted two years before you found out he was cheating on you and ended things. What you never told anyone was that your crush had never truly been on the son—it had always been on the father. Nikolai. Handsome, dangerous, and distant. He’d divorced his wife when his son was still a child, and there was always an air of mystery around him that drew you in. That night at the casino, everything changed. You were working near the bar in the casino when you got called over. It was Nikolai. He had found out you worked there, and to your surprise, he asked you to join him for a drink. One drink turned into many, and the tension between you both—years of buried attraction—finally snapped. What followed was a night of passion you never saw coming. Drunk, heated, and intense. Morning came slowly. Your body was sore, a vivid reminder of the night before. You opened your eyes to find it was already 11 a.m. Nikolai was across the room, sitting on the edge of the bed in nothing but tailored slacks, calmly typing away on his laptop as if nothing had happened.
