Alfred's eyes widened in confusion. "Am I going back to Dad, Mom?"His mother looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears. "Yes, sweetheart. This is just a temporary exchange. I promise you, Biden won't harm you in any way. It's so I can get Andrei back." Alfred blinked hard, his little chin trembling. "Okay, Mom," he whispered.Trying to lighten the mood, Asa playfully nudged Alfred's shoulder. "Ready to go?" she asked with a brave smile.Alfred looked up. "Are you coming too, Mom?"She pulled him into a warm embrace. "I'll come with you, but I can't stay, okay?"The journey to Biden's residence was shrouded in an oppressive silence.

A tense quietude settled between them, only the faint hum of the room's air conditioner breaking the stillness."The intel came in moments ago. He's reportedly been apprehended and is currently held by Biden," the assistant whispered, a hint of unease in his voice.Asa's eyes widened in shock, "Impossible!" Her voice echoed with disbelief."I need to be there, right now," she declared, determination marking her features as she turned on her heel.The assistant reached out, his fingers grazing her arm. "You can't just waltz in there; it's treacherous."She brushed him off with a swift motion, "Biden won't harm me." She looked past him, "Come, Alfred."The assistant's voice grew firm, yet caring. "Madam, if you're hell-bent on this, at least leave the boy. It's no place for him."Asa paused, her gaze softening as she turned to Alfred. "Promise me you'll stay safe here," she murmured, planting a gentle kiss on his forehead before taking her leave.Upon reaching Biden's estate, Asa's pres
As the weight of Andrei's intentions bore down on the room, a sharp gunshot rang out. Agony lanced through Andrei's leg, sending him collapsing in pain. Biden's ace, a concealed marksman, had made his move, changing the course of their face-off.In the vast, dimly illuminated chamber of Biden's lair, an intricate dance of power and confrontation was underway. Biden, exuding an air of controlled confidence, slowly sauntered towards Andrei. Each step resonated with purpose, echoing his dominant position in this dangerous tango. With a graceful bend, he plucked the firearm that had fallen during their earlier altercation, feeling its cool weight against his skin.Lifting his gaze, he studied Andrei, whose posture, albeit weakened from the gunshot, still radiated defiance. "You know," Biden began, drawing each word out deliberately, "it's almost laughable – the audacity you've shown, believing you could penetrate the very heart of my domain, challenge my reign, and emerge victorious. Wha
The hospital room, with its stark white walls and the faint smell of antiseptics, stood in silent testimony to the myriad of emotions swirling within its confines. Shadows danced on the walls, mirroring the somber mood, while the monotonous hum of machines maintained a rhythmic undertone. Andrei, his tall frame slightly hunched from hours of anxious waiting, navigated the maze of medical equipment to approach the doctor.Each step was a testament to the storm of apprehension brewing within him, but he tried to hold onto a veneer of composure. "Doctor Harrison," he began, his voice weighed down with the heaviness of worry, "has there been any change in Asa's state? Can you provide any insights into her prognosis?"Dr. Harrison, a seasoned physician who had witnessed countless situations both triumphant and tragic, ran a weary hand through his silvering hair. "Mr. Petrov," he began, offering Andrei a sympathetic glance, "while we've managed to stabilize Asa for the moment, we're still
Then, in a turn no one could have predicted, Biden's assertive facade shattered. He crumbled to the church's cold floor, the weight of his past mistakes evident in his teary eyes. "I wronged you, Asa," he sobbed, his voice echoing in the cavernous space. "When I learned of our child, fear and pride dictated my actions. I'm behind the shadows that plagued you, the threats, the near-fatal encounters. I'm consumed by guilt and regret."The collective gasp of the congregation was palpable. As Asa processed this revelation, trying to reconcile with the Biden she once knew, Andrei, his face red with rage, took a step forward. Just as Asa opened her mouth, hoping to bring some semblance of peace, Andrei's voice, laden with fury and pain, filled the sacred space, addressing Biden's shocking confession.Amid the grandeur of the cathedral, with its soaring arches and echoing silences, the tension was palpable. Andrei, though visibly incensed, tried to maintain his composure, the muscles in his
The radiant dawn broke with promise, as the day Andrei had long dreamt of was finally upon them. The atmosphere was thick with anticipation, the air fragrant with blooming flowers, and the quaint little town buzzed with preparations. Everyone was eagerly discussing the union of Andrei and Asa, two souls destined to intertwine on this auspicious day.Inside a grand, ornate room of a historic mansion, Asa stood poised in front of an opulent mirror, its frame whispering tales of countless brides before her. She gazed at her reflection, the intricate lace of her dress cascading around her. The sheer beauty of the moment filled her with a mix of nervous excitement. Not wanting to leave any stone unturned, she turned to her trusted makeup artist, seeking validation, "Have we achieved the perfect look for today?"The makeup artist, having witnessed many brides in her time, had never seen one quite as enchanting as Asa. With a heartfelt smile, she assured, "You are the very essence of perfect
As dusk approached, their team gathered, arming themselves and going over the plan meticulously. Andrei's intense gaze met each of theirs. "Remember, I want Polina brought back to me alive and without a scratch."The chorus of affirmatives was unwavering, "Yes, sir."Venturing forth under the cloak of twilight, they took the midtown route as Karl had suggested. On arriving at the estate's perimeter, Karl consulted the map once more before proceeding. Shielding his face with a hood, leaving only his piercing eyes visible, he carefully surveyed the area. To his relief, the immediate vicinity appeared unguarded. Polina, it seemed, was tantalizingly within their grasp.Karl swiftly gestured for the boys to infiltrate the compound. However, as they moved in, they found themselves ensnared in an unexpected trap. "Stop right there!" A booming voice echoed from the shadows, causing the team to halt abruptly.Within moments, the group found themselves surrounded, caught in a tightening circle
Back at the city, "Andrei, I've done my part, helping you at great lengths. Now, it's your turn to reciprocate," Asa stated, her gaze intensely fixed on Andrei, her eyes searching for understanding.Andrei stumbled over his words, "Help? I was under the impression... I believed that you..." His voice trailed off, unable to complete the thought.She cut him off gently, "If you truly want to repay me, then help me find Polina. If you do, I'll consider your proposal."His eyes lit up with hope, "Truly? You mean it?"She took a moment, her face softening, "Yes," she whispered, though the reluctance in her tone was palpable.Overwhelmed with gratitude, Andrei pulled Asa into a warm embrace. "I'll move mountains if I have to, just to find Polina." His emotions surged, making him act on impulse, hugging Asa tighter than he had intended. Allowing herself a moment in his arms, Asa eventually withdrew to be with her son. Meanwhile, Andrei swiftly dialed his assistant, setting the wheels in mot
