Chapter 8
Kirill and I still hadn't set a date yet for the wedding,but we were still planning to have it sometime in May. I was the happiest person in the world now. Nothing was going to happen now. At least I hoped not.
I tried to stray away from the thought that anything was going to happen. But I knew I had to be careful. Anything could happen now. What? I didn't know. I didn't want to know. I was afraid of anything that was going to happen in the future.
But right now everything was going fine. I was two weeks pregnant with our second child, and we still had Katarina. My life couldn't be better…or could it?

A few weeks had gone by and the dreams were starting to go away. I thought of happier things,like getting married and having another child. Nothing else mattered. But one day… something happened that I didn't intend.
It was nice clear afternoon. Kirill was in the kitchen feeding Katarina and I was in the living room watching TV. The phone then started to ring and I picked it up.
"Hello…?"I asked.
"Is this Nicole?"asked a voice.
I hesitated. "Yes…"
"This is Jason Bourne."
I went silent. How in the hell did he get my phone number,I thought. Oh god. Someone knows that Kirill's still alive.
"I found out today that your boyfriend who tried to kill me two years ago is still alive. If you want him to live you better put his ass on the phone now."
I took the phone off my ear and put it to my chest. I didn't know what to do. I closed my eyes for a while. I then felt a hand on my shoulder. I knew it was Kirill.
"Nicole?"he asked. "What is it?"
I breathed hard. "Jason Bourne is on the phone,"I gave the phone to him and ran into the kitchen,picked up Katarina and ran upstairs. I didn't want my daughter to hear anything. I was too afraid so I took her upstairs to the bed room and just stayed there until everything was ok.

About fifteen minutes later Kirill came upstairs.
"What happened?"I asked. "Is everything ok?"
"Everything's fine."
"You aren't leaving are you?"
He shook his head. "No."
"What did he say?"
"Don't worry about it."
"Kirill I have to worry about it. What if he comes and takes our daughter away from us?"
"He's not going to do that."
"How do you know that?"
"I talked to him and everything's going to be fine."
"We should leave."
"There's no point."
"Something's going to happen Kirill. I just know it."
"Nicole,calm down now."
"He almost killed you Kirill. What if he tries again?"
"I told him why."
"Did he believe you?"
He went silent for a second. "I'm not sure."
"What do you mean you're not sure?"
"He hung up on me."
"How did he know you're still alive."
"He might have gone to the hospital."
"This doesn't make any sense."
"I know Nicole."
"We should get out of here."
"There isn't any point Nicole. Now stop this."
"I don't want him to hurt you again. Let me take him on this time."
"No. Stop it…"
"How can you be so calm."
"I'm not an assassin anymore Nicole."
"Did you tell him…?"
"About what?"
"Berlin…?"
"He already knew."
"Oh."
"Nicole,calm down all right? Everything's going to be fine."
"He's not going to just be our friend Kirill. You tried to kill him."
"He knows that."
"Are you going to try to kill him again?"
"No. I need to take care of you and my children Nicole."
"I just don't know what to do. I'm scared."
"You don't need to be Nicole. Now get some rest if you need to. I'll take care of Katarina."
I nodded. "Ok."
He kissed me. "I love you."
"I love you too."
