I don't trust that Royce dude!  Don't make Nikki have to have him killed!

Another awesome update.  The beginning of the story had me crestfallen.  The advice from that old hen made me sure that Sunny would end her relationship with Nikki soon.

Achan's advice to her gave me hope that she would give him the chance to change.  She was very wise to ask Sunny if she'd asked Nikolai to change.  She hasn't yet.  My fear is that will he be allowed to change?  Will Stanislavsky let him leave the "organization?"  Still not sure if Sunshine can really swallow the truth of what Nikki's done in the past and still does (or may) today.

There's so much love between Sunny and Nikki that I can feel it. I want them to end up together and will cry when she tells him she loves him. But there's so much between them that could tear them apart too. I'm not sure which way this will go.

I was hoping by now that Sergei would have found out that Sunny and Nikki are back together.  I don't know why he doesn't sense that there is genuine love between Sunny and Nikki. He wouldn't be able to handle knowing that Nikki is actually a human being and a MAN (which Sergei isn't) and that he makes Sunshine happy. I don't trust that boy.  He's delusional and will do something to try and hurt Nikki.

Always! Always a wonderful update.  I was thinking that something was going to break out at the rally.  I am so very very pleased and happy that Sunny did not go with them.  I hope that she is safe there in the safe room on the compound.

I wonder why she does not like Royce he is a recovering alcoholic like Hershell.  Is it because he has a family and may have put his family thru some things but she must also look at it this way he was strong enough to be a recovering not a continous alcholic.

He has better strength then her father ever had.

That was some wise advice that Achan gave and I hope that Sunny can take it and have faith and finally let herself love Niki completely and let him hear the words he so desperatly wants to hear.  "I Love You!"

Thank you for the update....I see we got two in one day you are the bomb chica!

wow first thought they guy was hitting on her but he wasn't he was watching out for her and helping her understand the meaning of love. wow now i get why it so hard for her to say those words to him. when you see your mother love your father so much and  he just wasn't good husband or fahter you get scared that you might make the same mistake i totlay get that but  she will same them one day when it right  and i looked forward to reading it. thanks for the updated.

I hope Sunny comes home soon, Nikki needs her!

awesome update. I love this story and the growth of its characters. sometimes your simple truths are so deep that they make me want to cry. Not from sadness, but the depth of the emotion. thank you.

This story is just so addictive. I rooting for Sunny to have a happy ending.

Words of wisdom continue to come her way. Achan has hit the nail on the head, as good and sound as her mom's advice was it may not be the advice that helps her in deciding her committment to Nikki. She has to have her own faith and see for herself if this thing with Nikki is for real or if she is truly taking up where her mom left off at with her dad. Royce is her Black Russian. Wonderful update.

Loved, Loved, Loved this chapter. I think Sunny needed to hear what Royce had to say. Loved there talk and so glad she going to get out of there safe. Sunny has been through alot for her age. Great job!!! Keep it coming :o)

Great update O! 

If you were trying to convey that Sunny hasn't said those 3 little words to Nikki out of fear...Fear to trust that Nikki is all that he says he is (in loving her)...Faith in their love for each other..Faith that their love will see them through whatever life (especially Nikki's lifestyle) will bring..Then you did great O!  Loved the conv with Royce..very enlightening..very revealing..and I don't believe there is  any such thing as loving too hard only loving in the wrong way..meaning not loving yourself..and therefore ruining any love you have for others..because that will happen..just as Royce and Jacob did...

I believe love changes people..not always..but then like Royce says everyone has a different 'bottom'...and maybe Nikki has found his..don't know if that means he will give up the biz...but maybe he can go completely legit eventually..being safe for the family he's found with Sunny...they'll have to have the convo next..the convo where both reveal their feelings and who they are..should be interesting...

thanks for such a powerful and riveting story O..you do good work!

I believe you can have moments of enlightenment during the  strangest times and places... Sunny needed to mentally "make peace" with some things and I believe talking with Mr. Royce, a recovering addict, and being in danger for 16 hrs put her feelings and her mind at peace, especially about Nikki...

I am still rooting for SUNSHINE but I am more than ever rooting for Nikolai... They have both come so far from where they were.

Sunshine is learning that not everything you heard and learned as a child is gospel... That as an adult you sometimes have to step out on faith and still believe in possibilities. If that was what you hoped to convey then you did and much more...

GREAT UPDATE! Hope you give us more soon!

Oops. I was wrong about poor Royce. I was projecting too. LOL. And it was Adu.

Sunny and Royce's conversation was very, very enlightening. Sunny has been pondering this dilemma a while now. What more does she really need to make a decision??

We can learn from the mistakes of others; but we must still live our own lives, make or own mistakes, hopefully, take that wisdom and move on... live and LOVE wiser, stronger.

I was glad to hear her fin-a-freak-in'-ly admit that her little flight of fancy was a wee bit too dangerous. In essence she put Nikki and Ben under undue stress and worry all in an effort to capture or express something that she already possessed.

Whew!! The box of tissue is untouched through another chapter. Good deeds and all, that trip to Africa couldn't be over soon enough for me. Thank you idiot interns who are too arrogant to respect imminent danger.

Bring on gay Paris in the summertime!! Bring on the fluffery and lots of hot reunion monkey sex!!!!

That was a really good update.  Sunny is beginning to see her relationship with Nikolai more clearly.  Royce turned out to be a good person to talk with.  And if she asked, I think Nikolai would change even more.  Particularly, after Nikolai had to wait 16 hours to see her again on the web cam.  I don't think Nikolai ever wants them to be separated again.  And I think Stansilasky would understand...and as Nikolai is like a son to him, Stanislasky would help Nikolai, so he doesn't lose Sunshine.

Thanks for the update sooner, rather than later.  I just LOVE this story.  Looking forward to more.
