Marina's POVI cried so much that night. I guess I forgot how hurt I still was, and all that had been in my head was to avenge without taking a break to properly mourn. I had eye bags when I woke up, and I was more than pleased to look ugly.When Oliver saw me, he asked me what the matter was. I was delighted to see him wearing a great sized trouser finally and I guess it was actually the highlight of my day.I couldn't tell him the specific matter, so I just told him I had an emergency at home. When he tried to pry, I did the same and somehow, he shifted and ran away. Seems he has shit he had issues talking about too. I feel like with his new ranking, he has gotten so busy to hang out with me and it was fine. Whatever. I didn't want to be friends with him in the first place. Hmph!Varce was still ignoring me and Selena wasn't around. Apparently shit happened and the rich guy she was with when she disappeared after that time Varce caught us, she's dating him now. I'm dying to know wha
Marina's POVI walked into the casino fearlessly with my head held high. This will be my first appearance after a long time.This black provocative dress, my hair in a classic sleek bun, my lips stained the color of fresh blood, and my milky skin made me feel like the Russian princess that I was for once.It wasn't hard to understand why all the attention was on me, and honestly, I didn't need it, but I needed to look the part.I needed to double the last four million dollars I had left, since mom refused to give any more to me. All I did was buy expensive designer pants, exquisite male jackets and T-shirts and a couple of caps, like a dozen times. I understood that she didn't like that I dressed that way, but I preferred comfort over stupid dresses like this one I had on now. Not only did it invite unwanted attention, it also made me look different, like some prey.The casino was similar to the ones I've seen in movies, and men in well tailored suits were scattered across like ants
Marina's POV“Come join us.” Oliver chirped, all smiles as he led me to the den where all the exotic bikes were parked. Infact, where all gang activities were talked about.He was dressed in a black T-shirt and brown pants. It looked two sizes smaller, and it bothered me every time I saw it. I've only been here for three days since I somehow infiltrated the notorious biker gang.While the other men couldn't care less for the petite new male recruit, Oliver seemed very excited. I wasn't sure if it was because he finally moved up in rank and all his responsibilities would be shifted to me or if he really just wanted a friend.I look like a boy now, at least I put in the effort. Shit happened, in case you're wondering.It's been six months. Six cruel months.Revenge fueled my veins, ever since the assassination of my mother. I was a crying mess that day with no one to comfort me. Weeks after, and I had become a hovering ghost with no reason to live. If anything, I wanted to join her.Th
Marina's POVI needed to run, and fast. Sure my hair was shorter and even in a different colour, but you'll surely recognize who you fuck, won't you?It was a give and take fuck, a hate sex so I'm pretty sure he thought about me often. Now he would probably catch me here, wonder why I'm here and when he finds out, I'll get killed.“I told you not to let someone in when I'm not here. Where is the new recruit?”His voice sliced through my thoughts and I jerked a bit and swallowed a lump in my throat. I began to shake nervously as he approached. I guess I haven't been hearing what he has been saying since he arrived because I was deep in thought.The whole den fell silent as his shoes blessed each ground he walked on towards me. Oliver practically stiffened. I was so scared because there was no way he wouldn't recognize me.Would he kill me now, just like he killed my mom or would he take me to a cell to beat me up first?Beats of sweat formed on my forehead in an instant and I felt myse
Varce’s POVI had missed this office for the most part. I could tell it just got cleaned and there was a lot of paperwork and business deals waiting for me. Even though Boris had been working in my stead, it was still too much.Who would have thought, memory issues at this point in my life. Somehow my father died and I got to know only three weeks ago because I woke up from a coma.Still, I made sure his burial was grand, even though I detested the man for forcing me into this dark life, into his dark reign.Now I'm back as the Captain.Boris watched my every move as I went through some of the files that were on my desk. His features softened, like he pitied me for not remembering a lot of things.The doctor said it was possible I could regain it, but it would take time and I wasn't supposed to stress myself at all, but here I am.The most painful part is that apart from my father's burial, I still had to deal with the fact that a deal my father planned with another gang had gone sout
Marina's POV“Sergey! What were you thinking! You do realize you just gave the captain the upper hand in this situation, right? He'll definitely make you leave. What are you going to do when you just got here?”Oliver's hands flew to his mouth when I told him this morning. The whole of last night, I turned in my sleep and when I managed to dream, beads of sweat would break out when I jerked awake. Nightmares of being caught, my life taken away from me when I've barely started. I tried to steady my breathing, telling myself that if I tricked my heart into believing I wasn't in distress, maybe it wouldn't be, but it didn't work, and Oliver was making it a hundred times worse.Won't tell him shit again, noted.“I'll figure it out. I'm leaving now, he just called me to the garage.” I said, standing up to leave. We just had lunch at the general cafeteria. I absolutely didn't enjoy the sauce that came with the rice. Gosh, I missed home for this one thing. I didn't even have a home anymore
Marina's POVI wanted to kill him more in this moment than I had wished to kill him since I saw him yesterday combined.I looked around me, and laughter filled the air. They were all laughing, some shook their heads like they were so sure that I was leaving, and the asshole in question stood at a corner, watching me, making all the hairs in my body stand. I tried to control my rage as I searched my head for help. I wasn't new to bikes and no one knew that but still, it was pretty long ago. I had this tutor or I'll say friend that I hung around with when I was younger. No we weren't lovers but one day, he kissed me, and I kissed him back, and we made out for hours.That was the end. I never saw him again even though I looked for him. I'm sure my mom had something to do with it. She was always watching and following me around even though she never admitted it. My sister was still with us.“Are you getting to work or not?”Fuck. I really zoned out again?“Or, you can't fix bikes?” He sa
Marina's POVI began to mount the new one back in position. I installed it using the reversal process for the removal. I made sure it was properly seated and it aligned with all the necessary mounting points. I finally reconnected the wires to their respective terminals. I torqued all the bolts and reconnected the battery. When I finished, I rose up and kick-started the ignition. It rumbled to life, but just before I could scream in victory, it made silly noises with wire sparks. My smile faded and I immediately crouched back down. I didn't want to look at Varce’s face but when I did, he was even angrier than he was initially.Damn. I checked for any issues over and over, fixed the minor ones and finally started the engine again.It worked. It fucking worked. No weird noises. I rose to my feet and looked around but they all looked stunned, and I was unclear if it was in a bad way or not. Then I saw Varce approach me and for some reason I took a step back and watched him start the

Marina's POVI pleaded with her to give me time, and that I would tell her soon. Even though, it would still be a lie then because I couldn't tell her I wanted to kill her brother. She nodded in understanding then took my hands and led me to her own office as the secretary where we hung out and chatted about stupid things for the rest of the day.It's been a week. My green bike was still as good as new, as if it was never touched but it was cleaned properly.Malcolm kept staring at me from afar and after the race, he approached me.“You. Where did you go? We didn't see you for like three months. You left and now you're back.” His expression was that of suspicion, and it missed me off.“I'm not obligated to tell you anything about my life, Sir.” I said the words as I felt them, and I was more than proud of myself. I agree that he helped me get hard drugs in the past but it was absolutely nothing to be proud of.“You know you're such a rude little shit, right?” He asked in a teasing ma
Marina's POVThe stupid racing game that they play every middle of the month, it was time again. Luckily, I finally had a partner from Malcolm's team.I know what you're wondering. What happened? I'm so fucking safe! Varce knows absolutely nothing although he doesn't trust me much anymore. I've literally been walking on eggshells around him and after our first conversation, he had made it a habit to ignore my existence.I'm only here because of my bestie, Selena.After receiving the call, I decided not to go. I could still kill him from afar. But it wasn't working. I actually wanted to be close to him to monitor him and watch him. I also know I was unstoppable. Selena wanted me back, and there was absolutely nothing he could do. In the end, he surely loves his sister very much, even though she just dragged him to his end. I'll have fun with him, then kill him, easy.I changed my mind and packed up. I ran away that night and back in a hotel room, I cut my hair again and dyed it back to
Marina's POVI stormed in to see my aunt having a hang out with her friends. I guess they were all waiting for me.Ugh, the mansion reeked of old women with old money that absolutely has no business being all over my business, but they certainly were.My aunt stood up to receive me and immediately took me to one high chair I had barely noticed before we reached it. It was decorated with balloons and essence from party poppers. She sat me down like I was some bride and her friends gathered round with eager expressions, and I found it weird.I wasn't in the right state of mind. I needed to avenge my mother but instead I was busy breaking her heart by wanting her killer to play with me and feeling guilty for lying to him when he clearly started all of this, even though he had no memory.Now what? I was boiling from the inside, and I needed to pack my things. Who knows, that bastard would show up first thing in the morning to try to get me to go out with him, and my aunt would probably ag
Marina's POVWe went back to the table. Obviously I was choiceless and quite hungry. If not I would've never agreed.People stared at us, trying to guess what was going on between us but I simply ignored them so I wouldn't get pissed further.Varce rushed to my side and pushed in my seat that was already out, then pulled it out again so I could sit down. I rolled my eyes at his stupid gesture but took the seat.Varce is so intentional about getting into a woman's pants, and he was definitely good at it. I knew him through and through so I'll not fall for it for a second time.All I had to do was be on my best behavior and not give him the impression that I like him, then he'll leave me alone. I know he won't, so running away is the best option. It was incredible how he had time to chase women with a shaky memory and a clan to run.While he was on business trips, he was busy going on blind dates? Why will my Aunt even do this to me with someone as rough as him?I couldn't understand it
Marina's POVI gasped. How could he be here? Varce Bosta. Of course it had to be him.How did my aunt set up a date with him? He looked good, like he wasn't wounded. Honestly, I didn't know what to feel. I just kept blinking until he offered me a seat.Would he find out who I am?“It's you.” He repeated, staring at me like he was flabbergasted and in some kind of trance.As I stared, all my pent up anger and hurt returned. I was burning with anger, and then I remembered that he probably didn't know me as Sergey.It was fine. I'll just sit through this.He still couldn't believe his eyes, but I tried my best to be more controlled for the both of us.“You're Rina. Marina Romana.” He kept going. I swallowed, unsure of what to reply next but trusting my guts. He didn't know me. There's no way he could connect the dots. We met shortly before the amnesia.“Yes.” I responded in affirmative while he shook his head in bewilderment, shortly before raking his hungry eyes all over my body.“So y
Marina's POVI arrived at my aunt's mansion in one piece, looking casual but at the same time, like a princess. She knew I dressed awkwardly but I didn't want that to sink into her memory, especially now that I'm older, so I came home dressed just right.She wasn't at home and I was told it was because she had an important meeting, so I settled in and waited for her.I got a room and everything and yes, she knew I was coming. I told her over the phone.I immediately had lunch, a four course meal and I just stuffed my face. Ugh, I loved being here. I barely even remembered all the shit I just went through days before.Finally, I heard her voice and got up.“Marina! I got out of the meeting the second I heard you arrived!”She said, rushing at me and pulling me into a tight hug. She smelled so good and she ruffled my hair playfully. It felt so good to be in her embrace. I took relieving breaths.She broke out of the hug to access my body, then she screamed in horror.“I'm so happy to se
Marina's POVWhat the fuck? I looked around the room, around the faces of the people in with me, including Boris. All hostile. “Captain! Why!” I cried out as the initial shock wore out and reality set in. I was about to be sent away. For what?Varce looked at me, anger clearly moving through his features, and it scared me even more.“I've got no time for this. What the hell have you been up to? What are you looking for? What do you want from me? Did you send people to kill me?”I couldn't believe my ears. My heart pumped faster than normal and I began to tremble, goosebumps clothing me like a second skin.“What? Captain! What are you saying! Why would I do–”“What were you actively searching for like your life depended on it in my office?”He dropped the bombshell and I swallowed. I got caught. How did he know…My lips shook and my heart pounded even more.“Yes, I keep a camera there. Do you think I'm stupid?” He asked, like I really thought he was stupid.“But Boris…” I was absolute
Marina's POVWhen I heard that Varce got shot the first thing that came to mind was how I should go and stay by his side until he recovered, but then I slapped myself hard across the face, shaking the thought away.He's a shitty boss that had something to do with my mom's death, of course I should wish him dead. Why didn't I want him dead? Because of a tiny stupid crush that won't go away?I'm crazy. Besides, he had Selena to take care of him.He was rushed to a hospital in the city but when he finally woke up, he immediately asked for his personal doctor and to be transferred to the main hospital down here. We haven't seen him yet, but I was dying to.I just wanted to see this face, to at least be sure he was okay. Selena didn't seem the least bothered. Actually, she has been coming here everyday since her brother left. I even caught her trying to talk to Oliver once but he was actively ignoring her. I dragged her away from there because it was now embarrassing. She's fucking pretty
