Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion)

"Do you mean risking Alena's safety and putting her life in danger?" Mikhail asked, as soon as the words left my mouth. He had raised an eyebrow at the idea, thinking it was going to be a big mistake but he continued to listen, he was willing to give my idea a chance. I turned to look at my wife who was confused as well but she trusted me to go on. She wanted to ask different questions because I knew, there were a lot going on in her mind. However, I hadn't let go of her hand at all and held it tightly the whole time. We had been married for awhile and we had gained each other's trusts.

"It sounds a little bit absurd but,"

Alexei had cut me off, "How did you come up with that plan?"

I cleared my throat to regain my composure, "Luca and I had spent days thinking about it. No, it took us weeks to weigh the pros and cons. It was Luca's idea at the first place after we tried to draw the patterns. We think this might work."

"It was my idea. I'm sorry Alena," Luca added.

"What do you actually have in mind?"

"We noticed how he kept showing up in front of Alena whenever nobody was aware. He came when nobody expected anything and then he just disappeared again. He wanted to show Alena that he was real and he knew it would work because she was terrified of him," I replied, trying my best to convince Mikhail and Alexei before I spread out the real plan.

"Mm, keep going."

"That day at the café and recently, at the hospital."

"Seems like he has been following her around,"

I nodded, "He's around and he's somewhere. We just lure him out,"

"What makes you think this will work? What if he finds out about it?"

As usual, Alexei had his doubts whenever it came to me. He didn't like me and he wasn't going to like me but it didn't matter, as long as I stood up for myself. For someone like Alexei, he had trouble trying to believe that someone else out there could be better than him.

I had met a lot of men like him; they had their own egos. Believe it or not, I was one of those men before I lost everything- I thought I could protect everyone and everything without a single obstacle in my way but when it was all taken away from me, I knew it was better to be humble. Until Alena came into my life and she showed me the beauty of it.

"He wont,"

be so sure?"

"I don't just accept confidence."

I sighed deeply as I looked at both of them. They were both staring at me; if only looks could kill. Their stares were piercing
