just as Nicholas reach for the buckle of his belt.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The sudden sound echoed through the room, and neither of them moved.
A moment later, the knocking came again, louder than before.
"Boss."
Mike's voice came from outside the bedroom door.
"Boss... I know you're inside."
Nicholas frowned, clearly annoyed by the interruption.
"What is it?" he asked coldly.
Mike hesitated.
"I wouldn't disturb you unless it was urgent." Nicholas remained silent, waiting.
"Speak...and it better be urgent." he warned, as he placed soft kisses on Lana's neck.
Mike lowered his voice, "the elders just contacted us."
Nicholas, stopped for a brief moment before continuing what he was doing.
"What happened?"
Another brief silence followed, then Mike spoke.
"...Your brother has made his move."
The playful look vanished from Nicholas' face, his expression turning cold.
He immediately reached for his shirt and slipped it on.
