This was a good Update. Jil is trying to move in closer; Sergei is keeping him at a distance from Sunshine; Nikolai is trying to get closer, and Sunshine is keepinghim at arm's length. It may have been tough to write it, but it was a joy to read about everyone relaxing a bit, Sergei having fun, Sunny having fun, Nikolai finding a "foothold"

Thanks.  I can't wait for more.  I really, REALLY LOVE this story.

Lovely...Nikolai is patiently  and relentlessly storming the Sunshine's defenses.  Good boy.  And Sunny is honest enough to let him in. 

Poor Sergei.  He plans to be there for his Sunny..opps correction Nikolai's Sunny.  And who did Sergei warn off?  Anatoly better watch is younger brother more carefully.  And I bet that phone call was from Sergei...right?  Ohhh...Sergei is playing Russian Roulette.  OR...I guess it could have been Jillian, who wants a chance too.  Jillian is super smart, which I find super sexy. 

I actually thought Sunny's new boss was going to come on to her, but I think I was wrong.  If he had, of course, Nikolai would have disabused her boss of his possibly fatal mistake.  LOL. 

I love Nikolai and Sunny together.  They are a wonderful couple.  Period.  They clearly love each other.  But what is Sunny going to do about Nikki's business interests???

Please Update soon

Wow.  This was not a transition or bridging chapter.  It was really rather DEEP.  Sunshine is strugging with the man she loves and sees versus the man Nikolai is and has been.  Sunshine represents an alternative for Nikolai, should he choose to take it.  I think Nikolai will have to choose his current life OR Sunshine.  And now that Sunny is not only just under his skin, but also in his heart, I think he clearly wants Sunny.  He said so in Paris when he said that he only just wanted to be with her.  He would return to the "monster" he was, if Sunshine really left him.  If he can EVER bring himself to tell her the truth, she will force him to chose her or lose her.  This was a bittersweet chapter. 

Do you think Stansilasky knows this and that is why he is coming to the US?  Since no one can EVER walk away from the organization, will Stanislasky allow him to leave?  Otherwise, I think Stanislasky will see his "son" figuratively die right in front of his eyes. 

Also, please keep Sergei safe...if Nikolai finds out that he talked to Sunshine about what he really does...I think Nikolai might kill him.  And Sergei deserves better than that when he is trying to protect Sunny.  And is Sunny going to find out about Whethers?

I have to admit that I am torn.  I think Nikolai and Sunshine are GREAT together.  They complement each other and they are happy together.  Yet, Sunshine now knows what Nikolai actually does.  She is not stupid.  But I think a distinction needs to be made that Nikolai is not really a monster, but rather his job is that of a monster.  And he has a STRONG incentive to change...Sunshine. 

However, after thinking more...I really hope you can find a way for Nikolai and Sunshine to be together...alive.  I really like Sergei, but Sunshine is in love and she loves Nikolai.  Not even knowing what he does for a living has not and will not change that.  So, I am no longer torn.  I am Team Nikolai-Sunshine. LOL.

Very much looking forward to the future Updates.

Well, welcome back!  And with a WONDERFUL Update!!!!

I don't think I read that he used a condom...are we talking future pregnancy here, hmmmm?  Now that it is clear that they are very sexually attracted to each other, they still have this murder standing between them.  She is a witness to that.  In Vico's world, don't they kill witnesses?  I don't think Vico wants to kill Mary, now that he finally has her where he wants her...I think this is a quandry.  Sex...and afterwards, guilt.

I would like to see them stay together.  Vico will be a possessive lover and he won't want to pretend that they are not lovers, while I suspect that Maria will want to keep it between them.

I am REALLY looking forward to seeing the next Updates.  Will they be happening SOOOOOOOOOOOOOON?????

I was going through some of my favorite stories today and I noticed that I hadn't seen an update of this story for a L-O-N-G time.  I sure like what I have read so far.  Any hope of getting an Update some time soon?

Nyeesha 

Mary and Vico finally meet!!!  Oh yeah, there is definitely attraction between the two.  And who is the Physics student, Jason?  I feel like we are just getting started.  So, next time I will bring my popcorn. LOL.

Please give us MORE......

Nyeesha

It is a good beginning.  You got me interested.  Mary seems like she will persevere, which is good to see.  Who will be her love interest?  Can't wait for the next Update and I am glad it is going to be a LONG story. LOL.

Nyeesha

Ohhhh....don't leave us on a cliff hanger!!   I am beginning to get into this story.  Please don't take too long to give us another Update. 

I have to say I love the relationship developing between Vico and Mary.  But after he ordered the death of a man that occurred right in front of her...how can they grow closer??

Nyeesha

This looks very interesting.  Can we have more?

Nyeesha

First rate story telling. 

Nyeesha

I LIKE this....it is a very good beginning.  Looking forward to seeing more.

A good update.  I like that Dax is trying to fix being a jerk for about a year.  But what cause made him so angry that he felt the need to almost punish Zhay?  Did she have an affair?  Did she get pregnant and have a miscarriage....what?

Nyeesha

Hmmmm....Rosie and the Barron.  Very interesting.  Love wasn't enough because Rosie is Black?
