Well no Christmas story with Sunshine..ok..well I will be happy if Sunshine just gets some happiness..which she actually seems very happy!

Nikki is taking very good care of our Sunshine and I think we can safely say he is in love with her. I thought it was sweet he referred to her as his most precious thing in his life that was very sweet,

I think she has real feelings for Niki as well..I think at the end of 5 yrs she could truly be in love with him ...

I agree with Anatoly, I don't think Nikki would be willing to part with Sunshine at end of 5 yrs though he would be torn between his honor and his love for her.

I think Sefei si asking for trouble..I know his brother see his affection for Sunshine but U am sure Nikki does too..you could tell by his questioning that he was on to Segei..I am so worried about Segei..I hope nothing happens to him ..Sunshine would never forgive Nikki and Anatoly woud probably take it out on Sunshine to hurt Nikki..

Her father is pitiful..enough said...

Excellent excellent excellent...Sunshine and Nikki are hawtness tooo woooooo!!great job sweetie..

Just read this all today and WHOA you weave a heartaching tale Miss. Love your POV and description. Seriously I'm hooked. I can not wait for teh next chapter!

This chapter was beautifully heartbreaking. Pops is so lost. Sergei is in love and Nikki, well I have the feeling he won't let Sunny go when the time comes. And I think he may start watching Sergei. Poor sweet Sergei.

Sergei needs to get the notion out of his head that he can be with Sunny. It's not going to happen. Anatoly has already warned him and who knows Nikolai better than he. That hug he gave her was so dangerous, I wouldn't put it past Nikolai to have assigned someone to watch them. I beleive he trusts Sunny but not Sergei. He is a love sick puppy!!

Still hoping dad doesn't hook up with Darla, but that seems inevitable since dad feels he isn't getting through to her with his actions so far. Awesome update.

......and so it begins.  Nikolai is not a stupid man, I wouldn't be surprised if they were being watched.  His actions during the conversation with Sergei seemed to hint that he knew Sergei was feeling more than just a bodyguard to Sunshine.  I love this story!

Oh Sergei, you're falling for her...silly boy my heart goes out to you. Jacob, what can I say about you...would you rater she be unhappy? I hate you trying to make her feel guilty about having feelings for Nikki. Get Help Now! Nikki Isn't stupid, I think he knows what's up with Sergei from that buisness of him looking at Him while speaking to Anatoly and the way he tilted his questions. He just doesn't see him as a threat since he knows Sunshine views him as a friend only...for now! Keep 'um coming! I adore your writing by the way, as always.

After a year, Sunshine and Nikolai are a wonderful couple.  Nikolai is falling in love with her and she with him.

Her father is trying.  You got to admire that.  But he does not realize that Sunshine is falling in love with Nikolai.

And now with the tears, Sergei holds her. I think  he has forgotten himself.  He has to be careful.  Nikolai is a VERY OBSERVANT man.  He observes what is said and what is not said. 

And if Nikolai allows Sergei to go to college, too, we know that something will happen to Sunshine.  And unless Sergei risks his life to protect her from danger, I bet Nikolai will PERSONALLY beat Sergei within an inch of his life.  I think Nikolai would temporarily go crazy.  And I don't put it past Darla to help in trying to hurt Sunshine, especially as she learns about Sunshine and her father.  Darla does not seem very bright.  If she does anything that might lead to Sunshine getting hurt or frightened or anything, I think Nikolai would simply kill her.

Oh man, I just LOVE this story!!!!!!

Nikolai is one sick, obsessed puppy. I believe he has honest feeling for sunshine, but boy is crazy. I can see how sunshine can develop a like for the lifestyle and even for him, since he caters to her needs and wants but if she's falling for him...i don't know if that's the best of ideas. Personally, i adore Sergei but it seems as if he's digging his own hole for disappointment and even more.

Sergei really thinks that he will be able to just pick Sunshine up after five years the way his brother picked up Darla.  He should listen to his brother, Nikolai has no intention of giving her up.  I understand his hate of the father is because he is in love with Sunshine and her father hurts her every month by not changing.  The other part of that has to be some self loathing because he is taking advantage of the situation.  Sunshine is falling her Niki, just not as fast as it seems he is faling for her.  I hope Sergei does not have to pay a heavy price for hugging Sunny.  I have to say that I am "Team Nikolai" and I hope he changes enoght to be worthy of her.

Nikki loves him some sunshine and that little boy Sergei better watch himself b4 he gets his a$$ handed to him!

Her father makes a very good point with the caged bird poem (one of my favorites), but he's the reason she's in the situation that she's in...and she seems to care about Nikolai.

Sergei, listen to your brother.  Sunny doesn't see you like that.  If you're going to go to school, do it for you.  Now, he's touched her.  Oh, lord, this does not bode well.  I can't wait to see what happens next.

wow that father is still a mean s.o.b treating his daughter like she did something wrong. she wasn't the one that  force you to make bad choice you did and now she  doing this for you. I like that ninkio got her  a kitten for  as gift how sweet is that. glad that sergie was there when she cry but like his brother said he  going down a path  that going to hurt him emotial or phisycal. love the story girl the charters each chapter is great. and thanks for the updated and have a  merry  christmas.

Onimosity,  this chapter drew me in as usual.  You have amazing skills and I look forward to the next update.
