Vincenzo Dante Volkov;“Oh my god... did you see how fast that thing was moving? I could barely keep up!” Little Mouse exclaimed as we made our way to the ice cream truck. She giggled, pulling me to the front as if the ice cream would magically run out before we got our turn.“You’ve got to calm down, Little Mouse,” I teased. “Stop acting like such a kid.” She rolled her eyes at me, clearly enjoying herself."Hey… I’m really craving some mint ice cream," she said, her eyes practically sparkling with excitement.I raised an eyebrow. Ice cream was one thing, but mint? Not my style."What about you?"She smirked. "I don't think I’ve ever seen you enjoy something sweet."I shrugged, giving her a half-smile. "I’m more of a whiskey guy, little mouse."She rolled her eyes, unbothered. “Ugh, you’re seriously missing out. One mint ice cream for the gentleman!” she called out to the vendor, way too pleased with herself. The vendor handed it to me, and she watched with way too much interest as I
Victoria Bella Washington;After getting back from the playground and indulging in way too many sweet treats, I started feeling under the weather.Vincenzo had to bathe me in warm water last night and held me close until I drifted off to sleep.This morning, I didn’t even have the energy to get out of bed. I just lay there, cramping and aching. And then, a thought struck me: could this actually be my period?No, it couldn’t be…could it?“Little Mouse… how are you—” Vincenzo paused mid-sentence, his eyes flicking to the sheets before a gentle smile tugged at his lips. “You have blood on the bed sheets,” he murmured, setting a cup of coffee on the nightstand.“Oh no… no way. Not this! Oh my God!” I stammered, glancing down at my legs in horror. “I’m so sorry! Just… just leave the room for a minute. I’ll clean it up and change the sheets—really, I’m sorry!”“Hey… did I say I was bothered?” he replied, raising an eyebrow as he stretched out his hand.“What?” I blinked.“Let me help you.”
Vincenzo Dante Volkov;I waited until Little Mouse was fast asleep before slipping back into the night, where my true work lay—eliminating every enemy on my list. It was time to clear the board.One thing Nikolai, my elder brother, drilled into me was to never let anyone see your true self. Keep your moves hidden, your motives buried, and never be predictable.Tonight, top senators had summoned me for a meeting. As the CEO of Russia's most powerful real estate empire, I wielded a certain influence that no politician could ignore. Venom had our men in place already, stationed throughout the building. When the organization directed us to the room, all eyes turned to me the moment I entered. The Volkov name alone commanded a particular fear—and respect."Welcome, Mr. Dante," the state governor greeted me, but his casual use of my middle name made me narrow my gaze at him. Only those with Volkov blood had the right to address me in such a way.I held his stare, letting him feel the weight
Vincenzo Dante Volkov;I stepped inside, and there she was—little mouse curled up on the floor, wincing in pain. It was well past three in the morning, and she should’ve been fast asleep by now."Hey," I said, dropping my gun on the bed. Her fierce glare shot straight through me, which only made me chuckle; she was oddly adorable when she tried to be intimidating."What’s wrong, Your Majesty?" I teased, watching her rise to her feet with a scowl."You left, Vince…just took off without telling me!" she snapped, voice sharp with frustration.I raised my hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright... I’m sorry. It wasn’t the plan, but you know how it is. Busy man and all."I noticed her glare soften for just a second, but it quickly returned, fiercer than before. She crossed her arms, staring me down, clearly in no mood for jokes tonight."Do you prefer your work to me? Because it sure feels like it," she huffed, her voice trembling. "You could’ve at least let me know you were leaving. Bu
Victoria Bella Washington; It's been a whole week, and I still haven’t come to terms with why I acted the way I did that night Vince wasn’t around. I literally acted like a baby who hadn’t had milk in decades. Not to mention that he played along—or was he being real? He cuddled me until daybreak, made me hot soup, and even gave me a bath. He did this until my period finished. I was utterly shocked. Aren't guys supposed to feel disgusted? You know, blood, vaginas, and all that. What always got me was that he didn’t even flinch—not when I stained the sheets, cried over absolutely nothing, or blamed my drama on "hormones." He just rolled with it, like dealing with a moody toddler wrapped in a twenty-something’s body was totally normal. Today, Vince took me to Prime Estates when the new villa opened. It was evening, and all the young rich men were driving in. Did I forget to mention that the state governor was there, along with a few state officials? This was a gathering of som
Vincenzo Dante Volkov;“Umm…” Little Mouse moaned, as I continued the kiss. This was the same person who acted like she didn't want me seconds ago.Whore!. She would literally do anything for my cock.“Vince…” she tried speaking but I shut her up with another kiss, I took her tongue, sucked on it and kissed her.“Wait…Vee wait we are in a damn car!” She said and I smirked deviously. “Should I stop?”“No, no, don't stop but_”“That settles it!” We both stared at each other, breathing the same air. The atmosphere inside the car changed to something more intense… lust.I lunged at her lips aggressively, giving her no room to object. I moved her closer to me, my hands on her back as I took complete control of the kiss.She moaned right into my mouth, and I lost whatever restraint I had. I pulled back, taking a good look at my little mouse. I released her hair, allowing the blonde wavy curls to bounce on her back, making her look more appealing.Christ!I took off her shirt next. I init
Vincenzo Dante Volkov;"Morning, Boss," Venom greeted, taking the seat across from me. I barely glanced up, still combing through last night’s files."You run the background check on Juliet?" I asked. He nodded, sliding a folder across the desk, but I didn’t bother looking at it. "Just give me the essentials.""She’s an underdog, just as we thought," he replied. My grip on the pen tightened, and I finally looked up, catching his uneasy expression."Something on your mind?" I arched my brow, noting his hesitation. "Out with it, Christopher." The use of his real name brought him to attention."Her boyfriend’s using her as bait," he said, swallowing hard. "He’s abusive... and he’s the father of her daughter—"I cut him off with a wave, cold and dismissive. "I don’t care about her miserable life story. Answer the question—is she an underdog or not? If she is, then eliminate her." I returned to my work, making it clear the discussion was over."Sir… I…""What?" I snapped, my voice a low gr
Victoria Bella Washington;“Is there anything else I should know?” Vincenzo asked, his gaze fixed on Juliet. She shook her head quickly.“No, Mr. Volkov. That’s everything. But I have to say, I’m thrilled about the billboard—imagine my face plastered all over Russia! It’s unreal!” She flashed a warm smile, but as I looked closer, I noticed something unsettling.There were faint bruises under her makeup, just barely hidden. The sight stopped me in my tracks. How did she get those bruises? My mind raced, but I kept my expression steady, my thoughts swirling as I wrapped my head around what I was seeing.“You have a beautiful face, Juliet,” Vincenzo continued, snapping me back to the present.His tone was calm but laced with something that sent a chill up my spine. “Being our brand ambassador… it’s a role that requires trust.” He let his words linger, heavy and deliberate. “So, is there anything else you want to tell me?”I saw Juliet’s smile tighten, just barely. “No, Mr. Volkov. Nothin
Victoria Bella Washington;“Are you alright, babe?” I asked, pouring him a glass of orange juice. “Didn’t know Mafia men were prone to tears…”He scoffed, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. “Oh, please... I’m still human, you know.” He took a sip, clearly trying to regain his composure.Curious, I leaned in. “What’s the family tattoo like?”He shrugged nonchalantly, but there was a flicker of something in his eyes. “Nothing special... Just a few random words and designs. It’s got no real meaning.”“Liar,” I teased, but before he could protest, Cassandra appeared, stepping onto the balcony with a graceful air.“What a view…” she murmured, gazing down at the city below. “The Volkov family tattoo is legendary. Many would kill to be marked by it.” She turned to me, her grip gentle as she took my hands in hers. “You have a beautiful soul, Victoria. And you’re more than welcome to join this family. Now, let’s get you your tattoo.”"Be careful, honey," Vincenzo warned as we left, his voice g
Vincenzo Dante Volkov;I had every intention of skipping dinner, and I told my mother as much. But, as usual, her tears and dramatic pleas were impossible to ignore. Somehow, she even managed to drag Little Mouse into it, who gently insisted we should go.And now, here I am, sitting amidst the Volkovs, feeling like an outsider in my own family. My gaze drifted to my father, his expression unreadable as he silently worked through his plate.“Vince, aren’t you eating? I spent hours cooking this meal for everyone,” my mother said softly, her hand squeezing my shoulder.I glanced at her, expecting my father to speak—maybe a snide remark, a glare, anything to remind me of my unwelcome presence. Instead, he remained silent.“Thank you, Ma,” I replied with a forced smile. She leaned in to kiss my cheek before taking her seat again.“How’s your company doing, Vince? I’ve been hearing a lot about Prime Estates lately,” Lorenzo piped up, his tone light but probing.Before I could respond, my mo
Vincenzo Dante Volkov:“Woah… This is a total mess. How do you plan all this?” Little Mouse questioned, climbing onto my lap. I smiled and pressed a soft kiss to her neck.“Easy, sweetheart. Just get to know them, their weak points… straight. Why do you ask? Want to be a Donna? A little Mafia queen?” I teased.She laughed, sliding off my lap and sitting on the couch, a glint of curiosity in her eyes.“Would it be wrong? I mean, there isn’t much Donna in Russia, you know.”I raised an eyebrow. “Is this a joke, or are you serious? Women never take these things seriously…”“Ah, come on, Vee. Women are the best at this kind of thing. We don’t need to act like you people,” she said, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. Then, she shifted, leaning forward slightly. “So, who are the ones in the game? The real players?”I let out a short breath, thinking about how much I should reveal.“You know my elder brother, Nikolai? His one was a pretty damn good Donna. Had a reputation for silencing
Vincenzo Dante Volkov;The sleek black car rolled into De Stefano’s Empire, the hum of the engine cutting through the air like a blade. As we approached the main entrance, my driver guided us into the exclusive parking area, where only those who mattered dared to leave their vehicles.I leaned back, my lips curling into a smirk. This building, this empire they clung to so desperately, was about to crumble. Their arrogance would soon be replaced by chaos, and I couldn’t wait to be the one to light the match.The driver stepped out first, walking around to open my door. I emerged, adjusting my jacket as my polished shoes hit the pavement. The sun gleamed off my suit, the kind of sharp tailoring that made people stop and stare.Beside me, Little Mouse stepped out quietly. She didn’t need to say anything—her calm presence said enough.Whispers filled the air like electricity.“Wait… is that—?”“No way. That’s Vincenzo Volkov!”The murmurs grew louder as faces appeared at windows and doors
BRIAN DE STEFANO;My brother and I had a simple philosophy: we got what we wanted, no matter the cost. Whether it was eliminating obstacles or buying our way into power, we didn’t play by the rules. My current obsession? Vincenzo Volkov. He’s cocky, self-assured, and walks around like he’s untouchable. But he has no idea what’s coming for him—fast, ruthless, and devastating.Friday nights were sacred—Before Club nights. It wasn’t your average hangout. Only the elite, the dangerous, and the connected could step foot inside. Membership required more than wealth or power; it demanded a golden card, an exclusive badge of loyalty. My best friend, Desmond Troy, finally earned his. We’d been brothers in arms for over two decades. Desmond was rich, infamous in the corporate world, and, on the surface, the cool-headed owner of a top modeling agency. But beneath the facade? A ruthless, cold-blooded monster who thrived on chaos.Desmond was the kind of man who should’ve been locked up, guarded b
VINCENZO DANTE VOLKOVThe team set out the next day as planned. Venom, Logan, and Dee would handle the house invasion, while Freddy and I were tasked with visiting the De Stefano empire, known for their renowned beauty products.Lucian De Stefano built the empire from scratch. Initially, he was just a marketing strategist, offering innovative ideas for product management. Rumor had it that during his two years working for the Beauty House Empire, he contributed enough valuable information and unique cosmetics combinations to significantly boost sales. However, his boss silently stole his ideas, presenting them as his own.The truth was finally exposed in a high-stakes meeting attended by product managers, the board of directors, and the CEO. Lucian’s cunning boss, Timothy, always ensured Lucian accompanied him to meetings, where he’d rehearse Lucian’s explanations and confidently present them as his own. But one day, Timothy’s façade crumbled.During a presentation aimed at marketing
VINCENZO DANTE VOLKOVI had just left the towering warehouse complex when a little mouse scurried into my plans—Victoria. She was on a mission with Juliet, and knowing her penchant for simplicity wrapped in elegance, I had already laid out her outfit: a crisp white skirt, a blue blouse, matching gladiator sandals, and a white purse. The perfect blend of sophistication and subtlety.As I handed the driver instructions to take her to Venom's place, I chose my own ride for the day—a sleek, 2024 black Bugatti. It had been a while since I'd unleashed one of my beauties, and the raw power beneath my hands felt exhilarating.The drive to the warehouse was short, thanks to the Bugatti’s untamed speed. My men were already waiting, their faces grim with anticipation. Today wasn’t about small moves; we were strategizing the collapse of the De Stefano empire. Their stocks, shares, and strongholds—all of it would crumble.“Logan,” I called out as we descended into the meeting room. Time wasn’t on
VICTORIA BELLA WASHINGTON;Listening to Juliet recount her past, I realized pain and suffering can indeed come in forms far greater than my own. She had borne and raised her child entirely alone, abandoned by the father who should have been her partner in this journey. Worse still, the father wasn’t just any man—he was her handler, the CEO of the agency where she worked.And as if that betrayal wasn’t cruel enough, he’d gone further—assaulting her in front of her five-year-old child. The thought alone made my blood boil. How deranged could this ex-boss be? He was undoubtedly out there, searching for her, determined to finish what he started. Little did he know Juliet wasn’t alone anymore. She had allies now—people who cared and who would fight for her.“I need to pick Annabelle up from school,” Juliet said gently. “Please don’t think I’m trying to rush you out. You’re welcome to come with me or wait at the park nearby—whatever works for you.”Her tone was considerate, almost apologeti
VICTORIA BELLA WASHINGTON;Vincenzo and I already discussed it—not really a conversation, but I made him aware that I would be going over to Julie's, which is practically Venom's house. It was time I carried out my part of the job: getting all kinds of information from Juliet.That morning, I woke up as early as 7 a.m. I treated myself to a nice warm bubble bath. I played with the bubbles a bit before thoroughly scrubbing every part of my body. For some reason, I wanted to glow even brighter today. Vincenzo was about to leave the room the moment I went in for my bath, so I doubted he would still be in the bedroom. So, I rinsed the soap off my hair and body, walked out of the bathtub, dried my body, and walked to my dressing table, bare.The manual dryer worked on my hair as I spent a few minutes trying to perfectly dry it. Next, I went for my lotion—Vincenzo's, for some reason I couldn’t resist the fragrance of it. I applied it all over my body, then used the facial cream and every ot
