# 6 THE GAME BEGINS

"I want this cabin to be sealed within half an hour ... Do you get that!? "

I went out to my own cabin and sat down on the chair.

It was 7:25 .

"Poor Natasha...... She's gonna have so much to do...... Tch tch tch...... You want to become my wife........ Let's see how the changes change you."

I couldn't control laughing thinking about the reaction she would have hearing the news Nikolaev Industries had for her.

I motioned my chair towards the window , picking up a letter from my desk.

TO,

MRS. NATASHA NIKOLAEV

It read.

"Let the game begin!!.... Wifey !... "

Just as I was enjoying , I heard the door to my cabin burst open.

I motioned back to the door and found her standing there in front of me.

"Leonid.... What the hell do you think you are doing!!! " she screamed.

"What am I doing Petrin ?! " I asked smiling

"Why did you seal my cabin ?... "

"Why means ?... I had orders from my bosses..... " I teased her.

"What do you mean ?!"

I felt her voice tense with each word. She was already fiddling with her fingers.

"I told you right.....if you want to become my wife..... you have to work hard .... "

I finally stood up , holding the letter out to her.

She motioned her hand to get a hold of the document but I had other plans. I pulled back the letter in my direction.

"Well here's a tip..... You have lots of work to do....So  let me make it easier for you .... I'll read it... Cool ?!... "

She looked at me with a blank expression while I ignored and went on to read the letter clear, loud and with utmost feelings......

"

Mrs Natasha Nikolaev

"

I looked up from the paper in her direction.

Her face had turned white, as if she had seen a ghost. Her nails I saw were digging the skin of her hands, as if trying to drain all the anger out through it.

"Leonid......where is my cabin ?! "

"That's all you have Petrin ?!.... Tch tch tch..... " I said laughing.

She looked away.

" Step out .... And the room opposite to my cabin is yours.... Well its small... Actually too small.. So I guess you have to A-D-J-U-S-T somehow.... "

Man!! Her face was becoming red with anger and with each passing moment, controlling my laughter was becoming difficult.

"Fine! " she said and turned to leave.

"And Petrin !.... Its sir... Not Leonid.... And yeah.... Bring me a coffee in 10"

She left without a word.

"At least..... she could have reacted.....!!.... " I said sitting down back at my place.

"Condition one.... Accomplished... Thank you....... D-A-D..... "

~~~~~~~~~

"What does he think of himself ? !! " I said opening the room to my cabin.

Like are you serious! This room didn't have accommodation for even two people! There was a wall length window , a small desk where barely the pending files I had would fit and then there was a stool! Not even a chair?! One lamp, one tube light and a fan.

My disappointment was growing with every passing second. I regretted having accepted Sirs decision.

I kept my bag on the table and sat down on the stool, facing not the table but the window. This was the only peaceful part of the room.

I looked out. There were the roads and the people unlike my previous cabin from where I could see the oceans and everything.

God please, give me strength.

I put my head down on my lap and wanted to cry but not one drop of tear escaped from my eyes.

I was all absorbed in my disappointment when I heard the door of my cabin open.

I looked in the direction.

"What the fuck!!.... This... Is your new cabin!!.... Like seriously!! "

Oh thank god! It was Ivan.

"This is all I have now Ivan ! "

He came and sat near to me, on his knees.

"Don't be sad bestie! "

"Ivan .... What did I even do to him... "

"You married him.. Duh!! "

"Christoff sir..... "

I looked down.

"I know.... now listen to me... My Natasha isn't so weak okay!....  I half recovered from my cancer because of you.. All that hopes you used to give me.. Remember !!..... "

I looked at him and faked a smile.

"Don't give me these fake smiles now!! "

"Ivan ... I just.... This.. This phase. Is very new to me... And dealing with Leonid is.. "

I was about to finish when the door burst open.

"What is it that you don't understand Petrin !!! "

I looked at the door and stood up, so did Ivan.

"Leonid.... that... I"

"I told you to get me a coffee in 10 minutes .... " he said loudly.

"I .... I... I'll get you one. Right now.... "

"Natasha ... I ain't tolerating this shit a second time okay!!..... And its SIR!!...... "

He now turned towards Ivan.

"Are you like paid here for wasting time and chatting.... Go work! "

And having shouted he left the room.

I looked at Ivan who was already looking at me.

"I am sorry for that! " I apologized

"Its okay Natasha .... But promise me... You won't break ... And just give me a call whenever you need me..... Promise"

I nodded.

"Promise. "
