Life Works in Mysterious Ways
Sophia Ivanov
Loosing my mother at the age of 16, the only person out of my parents who showered me with love, being left behind with the person who hated me. I always thought it was because I was a girl but he never looked at my baby sister Lucy with the look of disgust on his face. He always had the look of adoration and affection in his eye's whenever he looked at my brother's and Lucy.
At he age of 20, my wedding was ambushed by a mafia, my husband killed in between the crossfire and me being rushed to the hospital.Waking up in that hospital I wasn't the same giddy Sophia. I started training, getting better then my brother's. Papa giving me extra attention then my brother's, taking me on mission's with him. Papa never let my brothers go on mission's. That was our father and daughter time. Killing people in cold blood without any remorse.
Years went past and my older brother Alessandro died. A nother person I held dearly to my heart being ripped away from me. That same year Papa stepped down as the Don of the Russian mafia, handing the responsibility over to me. Taking the Russian mafia to the next level, continuing papa's legacy but ten times better. I was worse then papa was and people feared me more then papa.
I was a Ivanov, this was my destiny but as the years went past, mafia's got fearless because papa got old and they thought papa was still the Don. Mafia's who got bold enough, to threaten my family and my mafia. I took care of them one by one but what I never expected was to find out the truth about my family, about everything I thought I knew my whole life.

Chapter: Elena So at the moment I was on my way to the address my brother sent me this morning to help the poor young woman who got pregnant by him. Look I love Lucas but sometimes he is a pain in the ass and she’s going to be stuck with him for the rest of her life and possibly the baby is going to be like him, hopefully not. I wasn't going to let her live and struggle on her own during this pregnancy. I had enough rooms in the penthouse so I let my brother know that I wanted her to live with me. That way she was close to me and I could help with whatever she needed. And also it would be easier to keep her safe and my brother when he comes over to help her. And it isn’t easy the first trimester so I didn't want her to be on her own. I'm coming from the university and my stupid ass brother wasn’t there when I told him that he was to go no matter what even if he had a hangover. I didn't tell him to go drinking like that on a school night. So what I said last night went through one ear and straigh

Chapter: Real youWaking up to my alarm blasting around my room, ringing constantly. Slinging my hand on the night stand I felt around dor the damn thing. Grabbing it from the night stand I threw it across the room, shattering into pieces falling to the ground but the damn ringing didn’t stop. Shooting open my eyes I looked to my left and there stood my fucking cousin, Damien, only a few feet away from me with a damn sly smirk on his face with his phone in his hand. Motherfucker wants to die I see. “Time to get your ass out of bed bitch, you have a busy schedule today.” Damien said, shutting off the alarm on his phone. “When don't I have a busy schedule and what the fuck are you doing here at 7 oclock in the morning?” I inquired scooting up against the bed to lay against the headboard. “Well change of plans. There were a few things added to the schedule so better to start early and then you will be done by 8 o'clock tonight, hopefully. ” Damien explained, sitting down on the edge of my bed cross

Chapter: Responsibility Lucas wasn't saying anything, just staring at the floor for the past 10 minutes. I was just sitting there, sipping on a glass of whisky waiting for him to stop finding the floor interesting and decide to speak.Damien was standing to my right, staring at the person across from me who had been looking at me since we came in. I had enough, so I reached behind me and placed the gun on the table. “Start talking.” I said, tilting my head a little towards Lucas. Lifting my head, I made eye contact with Octavious and he had this smirk on his face.“I'm sorry, I fucked up.” Lucas said all of a sudden ,rubbing his face.“What did you do, Lucas?” I asked, taking a huge gulp, downing the whisky.“Igotsomeonepregnant!” Lucas yelled, speaking fast.“What?” I asked but It looked like Leo heard what he said by the way he looked at Lucas.“I-I-I ……. got someone…... .pre-pregnant Sophia.” Lucas said, looking up at me.The glass I had in my hand shattered because of how tight I gripped it when those w

Chapter: Confused Staring out of the window of the private jet, looking at the beautiful sunset. We were on our way back to Italy. We left around 6 o’clock this afternoon and have been in the air for an hour already and will be arriving in about an hour and a half maybe in Rome, since it was 7 o’clock already. Damien was sitting across from, sipping on his glass of scots on the rocks. God damn pussy, can’t drink it without ice because according to him it's too strong and the ice helps a little bit. Laying my head back , resting my eyes from all the exhaustion I felt. The past three days I’ve been busy non stop barely getting any sleep and papa nagging on my head to look after myself. I don’t have time to rest when I’m responsible for the protection and well being of my mafia and their family’s. The past three days here in Italy I couldn’t stop thinking about little one and Angela and when I boarded the private jet there was this thought at the back of my head about them.. Will I be able to completel

Chapter: Podzemel'ye (Dungeon) Three days........three god damn days since Sophia left for Russia and I can't stop thinking about her. She's all I could think of, when I go to sleep, when I wake up and she's even in my goddamn dreams. She's consuming my mind without her even knowing or trying. I couldn't focus on my work because she's all I could think of. I don't know why but seeing her Saturday night in that white button down shirt , knowing it wasn't the one she left in, made me infuriated. Telling us, more to Lucas mama and Elijah that she was leaving for Russia not saying why, just saying it was something she has to take care of but nothing big that they should have to worry about her. Lucas wanted to go with her but she said something in Russian to him that made him back down , deciding he didn't want to go anymore. Seeing her with those men made me want to murder them for just being so close to her, especially the one who couldn't keep his damn eyes off her, more to say her ass. Every time she would walk

Chapter: Omasu And AkiraIt's been two day's since I've returned to Russia and I've been working non stop. Turns out that the people who've done my surgery resigned that same day and disappeared off the face of the earth. Looking at these file's of the three people who were responsible for my surgery. Tracking every single one of them down, bringing them back to Russia. For the past two day's I've send my men out to where two of them were hiding. We are still trying to find the third person's location. Yesterday it was Savastian Baladin, and today we discovered where Valik Petrov was hiding. A few of my men went to get him, leaving 4 o'clock this morning and will be back tonight. Savastian wasn't talking, saying he was sworn to secrecy but he did give us the last person's name who we already had but what he said was that she was the one who did the surgery, removed it, Ulya Mozorov. It was difficult to find her because she changed everything about her, her identity and even how she looks, unfortunately we co

Chapter: Chapter 12Why legs? Why did you have to go and give out on me? You had to give in to the voice of this man now I’m sitting on the floor crawling away from him. Getting as far away as possible trying to maybe crawl to the door. I could feel his eyes on me as I tried to get away from him. Getting halfway to the door I quickly stood up sprinting to the door. This man had me running away from him. Never thought that I would run away from a man was always the other way around.Grabbing the door handle opening the door it shut closed with a hand slamming against it. Shit I wasn’t getting out of this one. Why was he standing so close to me, doesn't he know about personal space? Please don’t give in again. I can't handle crawling away from him again. I couldn't face him no after what just happened so I placed my head against the door closing my eyes hoping he would move away. Well hoping didn’t help because he stepped closer so now I could feel the warmth radiating from his body. I could smell him a

Chapter: Chapter 11It was Monday and I couldn’t forget about what had happened Saturday. Even Liyana realised that something had happened because of the way I was the rest of Saturday when we got home. Dominic had me thinking about him more than I was before. When I went to bed he had me lying awake thinking about him. I just hope that I don’t walk into him any time soon or even see him from a distance. I needed him out of my head. I was waiting for the babysitter to arrive so I could be on my way to work. My baby was lying in my arms sleeping peacefully. (Knock at the door) I stood up when there were two soft knocks at the door. Opening the door Sophia stood with a smile on her face. Sophia is a very kind and shy person. Why I chose her was because she really needed this job more than the others and because she was suitable for looking after my baby. She finished University but had trouble finding work. I did a background search on her and she grew up the same way I did so I wanted to make sure sh

Chapter: Chapter 10It had to be this woman. She already pissed me the hell off an hour ago. Now I had to walk in excited to see my baby because I fucking missed her but instead I had to hear this woman say something about my baby. And by the time I stepped my foot in the kitchen it had to come out. She better start praying that I don’t end up crushing her windpipe.“Aaliyah!” Someone yelled but it was muffled. I could barely hear because of the anger I had inside me.I could hear The De Lucas brother arguing with Dominic to do something since he stood to my side. I could see him with the side of my eye just standing there staring at me. He had this amusing look and a damn smirk on his face. He had his hands in his pockets having this look in his eyes. Almost as if he wanted to see what I would do next. If I would take this even further by choking this woman to death with my bare hands. “Let go of me.” The poor woman choked out every word, gripping my arm with her long nails drawing blood. My hands go

Chapter: Chapter 9I’ve done all the shopping, bought the necessary things we need and clothes and toys for Neveah but then on my way to the De Lucas estate something caught my eye that was in the window of a store I drove by. It was a designer bag that Liyana looked up once on the internet and she couldn’t stop talking about how she wished she had the money to buy one for her because she fell in love with it at first sight . She said that the bag itself was gorgeous and that she just loved the design. I can’t even count how many times she had shown me pictures of that bag. Even if I tried I could never forget how the bag looked. It was printed in my mind. I was going to get her that designer bag and surprise her with it since tomorrow is her birthday. Grabbing my handbag I climbed out of my car and made my way towards the store. Walking into the store an employee walked towards me.“Welcome, is there anything I could help with or is there something ma'am looking for specifically?” The girl said with t

Chapter: Chapter 8It’s been three days since everything happened, what happened to Liyana and Dominic sleeping over. Thank goodness he was gone the morning when we woke up. At least he didn’t leave the stuff just laying on the couch. The blankets were folded neatly, laying on the couch. I haven’t seen or walked into him again and I’m grateful for that. The week felt so long, days felt as if it was going by slowly but it's the weekend finally, saturday. That meant it was time to go grocery shopping and buy a few baby stuff for Neveah as well. Since I can’t go shopping without buying her something new. Whether it was toys or clothes I just had to buy her something. Sometimes Elena would visit us on the weekend and help look after Neveah and spend the weekend with us. So yesterday afterwork Elena let me know that she was coming over but I let her know that I wasn’t going to be home. She said that it would be no problem, that she would come over to help with Neveah and Liyana while I went shopping. Liyan

Chapter: Chapter 7Waking up to the sound of Neveah crying. Getting out of bed, I made my way towards her crib, leaning over to pick her up. Realising she only had half a bottle left when I reached out to grab it to feed her. I forgot to make her bottle’s last night because a certain someone I just wanted to get in my room away from him. Cradling Neveah in my arm, I fed her with the other one and sat down in the rocking chair. It didn’t take long for the bottle to be empty. Neveah’s little eyes were open staring at me, and didn't look like she was going to sleep any time soon. Might as well go make her 2 more bottles for when she wakes up again in the middle of the night because it was only 2 o’clock in the morning. Throwing a nappy over my shoulder in incase a little milk comes out when she burps. Laying Neveah down on the bed for a moment to do the kriss kross baby wrap, to keep her close to me while I am busy. I love this method because it is more convenient for me when I'm at home, then I don’t hav
