wow nice  i  like she went to his home land to vist where he from he grew up at. love that little boy lol he too cute and think he can give N a run for his money lol. i can image them  having babies little sunshine and N around but now the dad is gambling and he cause it and when she find out not going to be good. thanks for the updated.

Another great update!  I really love this story.  I can't figure out how it will end or if Sunshine will chose to stay with Nikolai or not.  Right now I am leaning towards her not staying with him because the pretext for their relationship is wrong.  If they could have started their relationship differently, perhaps I would root for a happy ending for them.  But the fact that he forced her to agree to a five-year relationship to save her father is a bit unforgiveable, but makes for excellent reading.  Keep posting updates, because I will definitely keep reading.

I love the way the story is moving.  Now, I was just thinking of that saying after the last update...if you love something let it go, if it comes back it is yours...I wish he would trust her and let her go...although I think everything will hit the fan once she finds out he left her dad the money.

Well as we all thought, Nikki has no plans of letting Sunshine go after the five years. But is planning on making their relationship a permanent one legally, it soumds like it. I still am not sure about how Sunshine feels about him. I know she cares a great deal about him and loves him in a way but marry him. I am not sure Sunshine is ready to marry anyone and their relationship has been captive/captor..so once she is free , she may not want to go back to any situation that involves her captor. But she may really love him and not want to leave??

I wonder will Nikki do something sneaky like change her pills to get her pregnant so she will not leave..I still am a little leary of Nikki..what he wont do to keep her with him.

Sunshine is true light...children are drawn to light that is why the grandbaby is taken with her and it would seem grandpa also...she is the actual charmer.

Glad you got another in before you went on vacation...I miss any days w/o this story..I love it!!

Nikki is going to impregnate her isn't he?

What happened to darla? Did she leave on her own b/c it sounds as though she did. Why? I thought she wouldn't leave N.Y. It also seems that nikki is going to get his 5yrs b/c her father is not going to stop. Oh, Well! Does Benji ever visits his sister at the house? This chapter is not bad but too short!

Her father is...I want to choke him. Whatever Nikolai did, it wasn't as bad as what her father is  doing every day. Sunny is growing up, I wonder if he even grasps that one day his changes won't matter to her. Nikolai has permeated her life to such a point that I can't see a way for her to extricate herself from him.

Wow. Even Darla, of all people, seems to be getting fed up with Jacob - and it's in her best interest to keeping him on the road to perdition. That right there is telling.

Loved it!!! Why oh why ,did Nikki involve Darla in this??? I feel that she'll betray him to Sunny for revenge. Poor sap is in love with Sunny.

WOW, that was one of you best chapters, and that is saying something. That Darla/Nikolai scene was fantastic and deep. I loved when Darla asked "Does she know how much you love her?" Darla must have had feeling for, because to admit that, caused her to hurt.

Niki, O Niki, I usually like Niki, but I REALLY didn't like him in this chapter. At the same time I appreciate it, because it made the story even better. The fact that he doesn't know why he needs her or why he loves her, adds another layer to an already multi-layered story.

Sunny has real feelings for Niki, its been alluded to, but I believe that this chapter confirmed it. She knows that Nikolai cares for her, and it was good to see her show concern for him.

I actually felt bad for Darla. It's cleathat she doesn't like what Niko is doing with Sunny, and not jus because she had feeling for him, but because Sunny is an innocent. Although, she found the entire situation distasteful, Darla is survivor and watches out for #1. I think that she may tell Sunny or Jacob the truth. Darla has a heart in there, but she hasn't had the chance to use it.

Merry Christmas if you celebrate it and thank you for the update!  I don't know if I liked Nikolai in this one, I just want everything to work out for Sunny and I want her father to get better; I wish Nikolai didn't have to manipulate her father and not help him get well so he could get what he wants, but he's a mobster; he's not a nice person. *shrugs*

I just want Sunny to be happy in all aspects of her life.  *hugs the Joneses*

I apologize for being a few reviews behind in this story.

This story is as potent and addictive as my morning cup of coffee. I have severe headaches from caffeine withdrawal after two or three days without coffee. Alas, bless you for your regular doses of "Beast." I have been happily buzzed by regular reads.

Although there is something cold, cruel, insane, and dangerous about Nicholai, I find myself enjoying reading about the way he is with Sunny, the way he cares for and treats her.

I notice that he is very careful to attempt to separate his life with her from the feelings evoked when she visits with her father. As for Jacob, I believe that I loathe the man as much as Nicholai does.

HE put Sunny in this situation, weak coward that he is. A year later he is still a loser gambler. I want to slap him into next month whenever he makes snide remarks or inquires about Sunny and Nicholai. He is a selfish bastard for even going there once, much less repeatedly.

He is no way near to getting it and is all empty talk about "saving" or "rescuing" his Sunshine. Don't make me gag.

One day Nicholai's patience with him will run out.

On to the next.

I LOVED this Update!  But then again, I LOVE everything to do with this story. 

Sunshine and Nikolai truly love each other.  Just like Sunny still loves her father, I think she will love Nikolai, no matter what she learns about him. 

Sergei has fallen for Sunshine, but I think she really and truly loves Nikolai.  And that won't change, even if she finds out about Sergei's feelings for her.

I think Nikolai made a mistake trusting Darla.  I think that is a decision that will come back to bit him in the buttocks.  Oh well. 

Question:  Will Nikolai ask Sunshine to marry him one day soon?  And will Nikolai take Sunshine to Russia to meet his "Godfather?"  This will all mean bringing Sunny into his world.  I don't know...I think Nikolai wants to keep Sunny out of his world, no matter the price.  Questions is, will that price mean letting her go.  But I think Nikolai would die, if he really had to let Sunshine go...Sitting in his bedroom thinking about his love for Sunshine...Nikolai is a goner.

Nyeesha

I was kinda hopin' he'd kill Darla.  He doesn't know Darla was planning to do just what she said she would do for him anyway.  I'll be glad when he doesn't need to bother with Jacob to have Sunshine in his life.  This is such an excellent read!
