"I..." Demetri frowned and wasn't sure what to say to him. "I'm sorry to have interrupted your business. Petrov is dangerous and I didn't want you to end up like Al- I didn't want you to get hurt. Well hurt any worse...," he said, his voice losing any emotion. "I said what I did to keep his focus on me rather than you. But if money is all that matters, it isn't my place to interfere. I do apologise."
He was hurt but not at Nell. Having Sergius Petrov around just meant the memories of Alexandre never went away, and it killed Demetri a little at a time. "It's alright; you don't have to be sorry. I'm glad you're okay Nell, I really am."
