A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD No Escape
Vincenzo Dante Volkov: I didn’t bother turning my phone back on. The notifications had already spoken for themselves. Whoever was behind this knew exactly where to strike, and they’d done it with precision.Victoria returned to the room, her expression unreadable. She handed me a tablet, the article pulled up on the screen again.“This isn’t just about you,” she said, sitting beside me. “They’ve dragged your family into it too.”I skimmed through the text, my jaw tightening. Names, dates, transactions—none of it should’ve been accessible. Yet there it was, laid bare for the world to see.“What’s the plan?” Victoria asked. Her tone was calm, but I could tell she was calculating just as much as I was.“For now, nothing,” I said. “The more I move, the more attention I draw.”Victoria didn’t argue. Instead, she leaned back, staring at the ceiling as though piecing together her own strategy.My phone buzzed again, despite being on silent. A new message popped up on the locked screen: “Thi

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:By noon, the calls had reached a boiling point. My father’s voice boomed through the landline, demanding answers I didn’t have.“What the hell is going on, Vincenzo? Do you know how bad this looks?”“I’m handling it,” I said curtly, pacing the length of the suite. “Pa, can you stop panicking?”“Panicking?!” He let out a bitter laugh. “This isn’t just about you anymore. This is about the Volkov name.”I hung up without another word. My father’s lectures had always been his way of reminding me that I was the black sheep of the family, or throwing in how my twin brother, Ivan, was exactly what they had wanted.Victoria sat on the balcony, scrolling through her phone. She didn’t look up when I joined her. “They’re not going to let this go, you know,” she said, her voice quiet but firm.“I know,” I muttered, rubbing the back of my neck.I sat beside her, not knowing what to say. The weight of the situation was settling in, creeping up on me like a storm on the horizo

Victoria Bella Volkov:I was speaking to someone—a contact of mine. The only thing I wanted was to stop the storm that had erupted around us.While Vincenzo was busy shutting out his family, I had reached out to a few people of my own. The article was too polished, too targeted, to be random. Whoever leaked this information knew exactly how to cut him where it hurt.By evening, I had a name—or at least part of one. A former associate of his had been spotted meeting with a journalist weeks ago. It was thin, but it was enough to keep digging.When I returned to the suite, Vincenzo was on the phone, his voice tense and low. He ended the call abruptly as I walked in.“Anything new?” he asked, his gaze sharp.“Nothing yet,” I lied, avoiding his eyes.He groaned and leaned against the counter. “I asked my brother for help. He’s sending his jet over since the airline is still stalling.”“Good. Getting home is the first step. But…” I hesitated. “What do you think about Christopher?”His jaw t

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:“Babe, did you see my tie?” I asked, scanning the suite. Victoria didn’t even glance up, her focus glued to her laptop.“Are you even listening?” I sighed, exasperated.She looked up, shutting her laptop. “Luciano Brown is the boy you used to bully,” she said, her voice calm, but her words sharp enough to knock the wind out of me.“Luciano Brown!?” My brows shot up.“Yes. And Olivia? She wasn’t some doctor in Canada or wherever you thought she was. She’s his girlfriend. The one he abuses and sent to your house as his little spy,” she added, tapping a pen against her cheek like she was casually dissecting my life.“Okay…go on.”“Do you want to know the most interesting part?”“No,” I muttered, already feeling the migraine coming on.“Good. Now accept that I’m fit to be a Donna.” She smirked, clearly enjoying herself.“Jesus Christ! Cut the crap, Little Mouse. Just tell me!”“Oh, Russian Mafia kingpins and their short tempers,” she teased, then leaned forward. “Ch

Victoria Bella Volkov:“Are you sure about this?” I asked Juliet as we stepped out of the car.She nodded confidently. “This is the best idea. Trust me. Now, come on.”Juliet grabbed my arm and dragged me into the Clubhouse. The pounding music hit us like a wave, and the air was thick with smoke and cheap perfume.We had done our research. Olivia wasn’t just being abused—she was being forced to work here as a stripper. That alone fueled my anger.The crowd was wild, and it was hard to see through the flashing lights. I turned to Juliet. “Let’s split up. One of us has to find her.”“Good idea. You take the left.”I maneuvered through the sweaty bodies, trying to stay focused. A drunk guy stumbled in front of me, slurring, “Hey, pretty…you look gorgeous. Wanna dance?”“Ew, no.” I pushed past him, his drunken laugh echoing behind me.Then I saw her. Olivia. She was wearing a revealing red dress, her face painted with heavy makeup. She looked completely different, but I knew it was her.I

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:"Christopher, I never thought you would do this to me… How could you? Hm?" I asked, slapping his face.He dropped to his knees, his hands resting on the ground."I’ll ask, and you’ll answer. What were you trying to do? I didn’t hurt you, did I? How long have you known him?""Since we were kids. He was like a brother to me. He’d come home hurt, bleeding, and…""And? Was it that bad?" I asked, leaning closer."Yes, it was. He ran away from home at least four times… because of you." He said it slowly, looking at me like I was a monster."That doesn’t excuse what you did. You broke my trust. I should kill you, but—""Please, Boss… Please—""You’ve destroyed everything, Christopher. Everything we’ve built. And now you expect me to keep you around?" I took a step closer, making sure he saw the finality in my eyes."Boss, please… I’m sorry. I never meant for any of this—"I raised a hand, silencing him. "I don’t need your apologies. I need loyalty. And you’ve shown non

Victoria Bella Volkov:"Can I trust you?" Olivia asked, her voice trembling.I nodded, taking her hands in mine."Luciano is trafficking underage girls," she said, her voice filled with disgust. "But that’s not all—he’s doing even worse things to them. Here’s the video footage." She handed me a file folder. "And this," she added, placing something in my hand."This has everything you need," she whispered before I pulled her into a hug."Thank you, Olivia. I’ve already spoken with Vincenzo. Everything is arranged for your departure. You just need to leave tomorrow evening before anything happens to you. Alright?""What about the kids?" she snapped, her eyes brimming with desperation. "I’m not leaving them. No way! I’m not leaving them with that monster!""I understand," I said softly. "I wouldn’t leave them behind either."She exhaled shakily and nodded. "Alright. Just…promise me you’ll figure this out.""I will," I assured her as she stepped out of the car. I rolled up the windows and

Victoria Bella Volkov:The press conference had passed, and today we were on the streets of Russia, helping the poor and homeless.This was part of our social punishment and our efforts to make amends. Vincenzo, however, wouldn’t let me do any manual work. My role was to speak to the elderly, even though some cursed me and spat at me. I didn’t let it bother me.The media stood by, watching and broadcasting live. Some accused us of trying to bribe the community through charity.The senators and the new Russian head of state had acted on what Vincenzo said a few days ago, supplying us with food, diapers, clothes, water, and even money. It wasn’t surprising—Vincenzo had played a significant role in their election.“We don’t want your food!” The younger and middle-aged protesters yelled, condemning us.I was getting stressed and exhausted, but I reminded myself this would soon end. Deep down, I knew they were just disappointed in Vincenzo.Despite being in the mafia, Vincenzo has always b

It was a long night. Victoria had been in labor for hours, and I could see the exhaustion on her face. Sweat slicked her forehead, and her grip on my hand tightened with each contraction."Easy... easy..." I whispered, trying to keep her calm, but she wasn’t hearing it. She was too focused on the pain."Push!" the nurse said, her voice sharp and clear. Victoria squeezed her eyes shut, letting out a loud cry of frustration."Push! You’ve got this, Victoria," I said, doing my best to be encouraging. She glared at me between breaths."Yeah, right. You’re the one who put me in this position!" she shot back, her voice strained. I knew better than to argue.The nurse was moving around, adjusting equipment, but I wasn’t going anywhere. I wasn’t about to leave her side. I stood by her, rubbing her back as she gave another push.The nurse gave me a knowing look as she prepared to leave. “We’ll be right outside,” she said, before heading for the door. But I wasn’t going anywhere.“No, I’ll stay

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:“You! You did this!” the president bellowed, his finger shaking as it pointed at me.I raised my hands, smirking. “Easy now. I didn’t do anything, alright?”“I'm disappointed at the kind of games you've played Mr President. First you tried sabotaging my image, now you plan on killing me?” Nikoali walked in, he took a glass of wine and drank. “Interesting…you wanted to kill my brother? After everything I've done for you!?” I asked, shaking my head. “Indeed, you are a fool. What was running through your head!” Nikolai set the empty glass down with a deliberate clink, his cold eyes never leaving the chaos in the room. "The president’s ambition always outweighed his intelligence. I warned you, didn’t I? But you never listen."I stepped forward, my boots clicking against the marble floor as I faced the dying man on the ground. Blood seeped through his shirt, pooling beneath him, yet his defiance still flickered in his eyes.“You wanted to kill my brother?" I repeat

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:The car pulled over at the grand event hall. I adjusted my suit and stepped out. Nikolai wasn’t answering his calls, and it had been hours.Inside, I searched the room, weaving through the crowd of politicians and officials. Finally, I spotted him on the upper level, speaking to a high-ranking senator.I headed straight for them. Nikolai saw me coming, his expression tightening for a split second before he spoke.“Vince,” he said. “I didn’t think you’d be here this soon.”“Clearly,” I replied.Nikolai excused the senator, and the man left without a word. Once it was just the two of us, I didn’t waste any time. “What the hell are you doing here?”“I’ve been calling you,” I said, my voice sharp. “No answer. I didn’t want to call Dad, Mom, or your wife to tell them your life is in danger.”Nikolai raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean, ‘my life is in danger’? I’m fine, Vince.”“No, you’re not.” I stepped closer. “Mr. President ordered a one-point-and-shoot strategy

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:"I love how you play these games, Charles. Coming into my house and trying to kill my wife? Really?" I walked toward the man tied to the chair, his face disfigured from repeated punches and his fingers chopped off. He was gagged, of course—I didn’t want to hear his excuses for trying to harm my wife."What was it? The money? How did you even get into my house with all that security, huh?" I watched as he tried to move—was he thinking of running? I couldn’t be sure, but I loved the way fear radiated from his face.He muffled a sound as I gave him a shallow cut across his cheek."Is that a cry?" I muttered, leaning closer, locking eyes with the man tied to the chair. "Alright, just nod. That’s all I need from you. Who sent you?"He thrashed, muffling something behind the gag."Oh, right. The gag." I yanked it off, watching as he gasped, blood trickling from his split lip. "Now, talk. Was it the Senator? Yes? No?"His breath hitched, his words tumbling out in a rus

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:The silence between Little Mouse and me was deafening, weighted with all the things I’d done wrong. Every marriage has its storms, but this—this was a hurricane of my own making. She is my goddess, my entire world, and I’d be a fool to let my thoughtless actions tear apart what we have.I needed to apologize—not just with words but with my soul.I walked to her room and knocked gently. The sound barely broke the air, but I knew she heard it. She turned away, her back now to the door, and my heart sank further.She was angry, hurt. I could feel it radiating from her, and I had no one to blame but myself.I stepped inside, my breath heavy with guilt. As I approached the bed, I spoke, my voice raw and trembling with emotion.“Baby,” I began softly, “I’m sorry. I endangered you and our babies, but most of all, I broke your heart.”The words caught in my throat, but I pushed on, sinking to my knees beside her. “Please, forgive me. I can’t go on like this. It’s tearin

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:Some things never change. I was in my office, going through files and preparing for the next patient. The door opened, and a woman stepped in, followed by a man who looked like he didn’t want to be here.“Good afternoon,” I said, motioning for them to sit. “I’m Dr. Vincenzo. How can I help today?”“My name is Gloria,” the woman said, her voice shaky. “This is my husband, Daniel. We, uh, just came in for some tests.”I nodded, looking at their files. “Alright, I see the test results are in. Let’s go over them.”She sat up a little straighter, her hands folded tightly in her lap. “Is something wrong?”I took a deep breath, keeping my tone calm. “Gloria, one of the tests shows you have an infection—it's a sexually transmitted infection.”Her face went blank for a second, like she didn’t quite understand what I said. “What? No… that can’t be right.”The man, Daniel, shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Gloria looked at him, her voice growing a little more anxious. “Da

Victoria Bella Volkov:"Hello, Miss Volkov," Clara mumbled, setting something on the table. She gave a curt nod to Vincenzo before leaving without another word."Well, that was... brisk," Vincenzo said, raising an eyebrow as he opened the container. "Did you bring me food because you wanted an excuse to check on me?"I smirked. "In your dreams! I just thought you might appreciate a meal." I wandered around his office, glancing at a few things. "It smells just like you—warm and inviting." I stopped and turned to him. "Anyway, I'm heading home now. I love you.""Oh, baby, I love you too," he said, pulling me in for a soft kiss.I left the hospital with a smile. Let me tell you, at least two nurses couldn’t stop staring at me.I was sure they thought Vincenzo was single. How dare he look so handsome? A flicker of annoyance bubbled up inside me, though I guess I was just being paranoid.Once in the car, I sighed, wishing he could stop working altogether. I wanted him to myself—only to mys

Victoria Bella Volkov:"I think this little boy wants to come out so fast!" I muttered, rubbing my baby bump. I was in just my underwear, lying on Tiger's lap."Yeah, I can't wait to kiss them," Vincenzo replied, scrolling through his phone. He wasn’t paying much attention to me."Hey, are you looking at or texting a girl? Why are you acting so busy?" I said, pinching his leg."I am busy, and I'm not texting any girls. Why would I text a girl when you're here?" he asked, kissing my head. "Alright... I'm just trying to get some vital information from the President's daughter, Clara.""I knew it!" I half-yelled, sitting up. "I knew that girl was going to be a hard time for me and you...""Easy, easy, cupcakes." He put down his phone. "I'm just trying to set things right. I have nothing to do with that blonde girl.""You sure...?""I’m as sure as my name!"Vincenzo left a few minutes later to take his night bath, while I stayed on the balcony, watching the stars. That seems to be my favo

Vincenzo Dante VolkovThe room was dimly lit, the air thick with smoke and the unshakable scent of betrayal. Power-hungry men sat around the table, their shadows stretching across the walls like predators circling prey."Are you accusing me of ordering the destruction of your properties and goods?" the President asked, his voice steady but his gaze sharp. I exhaled slowly, meeting his eyes with an unreadable expression."If you claim to have left the world of power, shouldn’t the loss of illegal weapons mean nothing to you?" he added, leaning back in his chair, his tone laced with challenge."Ah," I murmured, tilting my head slightly. "I see where this is going. But tread carefully… Don’t forget, I’m the reason—""You’re not the reason, Mr. Volkov," he snapped, cutting me off. "The reason I’m the President isn’t because of you or the power your family handed me. No, it’s because I chose this. I had the zeal, the drive, to become who I am!"I let a small, cold smile creep across my fac
