~••~Aleksei~••~

I arrived sooner than I should have, with my new mobile for Ava tucked in my pocket. She might have been clever enough to sneak her calls behind my back, but she wasn’t clever enough to outsmart me.

Stepping into the parlor, I immediately noticed her absence. Ava usually curled up in the sitting room with a book or indulged in one of those overly cheerful romantic comedies she seemed to adore. But the space was empty, the silence stretching.

I looked around the library, a place she virtually owned. The scent of old books permeated the air, yet there was no sign of Ava. That left only one place.

Wandering down the hallway, I felt no desire to knock, so I simply pushed open her door.

Lying on the bed, she sat with a cell phone grasped in her hand. Her head sprang up, and her eyes widened like a deer caught in the beams of a car headlights.

“Aleksei…” she said hesitantly, her smile forced and weak. She instantly threw the phone onto the bed, as if that could change what

    ~••~Ava~••~"Another shot please!" I screamed my lungs out, feeling the effect of the alcohol in my system. I turned around, and my eyes landed on Klarissa, my best friend, who looked worried."Ava, we came to have fun, but you need to get hold of yourself." She whispered as she took the bottle from my hands. "Relax Klarissa, you are always too tight. I came to have fun here." I responded, emptying the content and cringing at the effect it had on my body."Look Ava, everyone is watching us because your behavior as a lady seems mannerless." She whispered again.I placed my hand on her shoulder, smiling at her. "I am fine, Klarissa; I may be a little bit tipsy, but trust me, I cannot cause a scene here at the party. Precisely, who will dare come and say anything about my behavior?" I asked, turning to look at everybody else dancing to the rhythm of the music playing, that is when I saw him;A tall, muscular-looking man whose Green eyes seemed to stare into my soul despite wearing a mas

    ~••~Aleksei~••~Standing at the windows of my penthouse suite, I looked out to the busy streets of the city where several people moved about their daily activities. My mind was consumed with the thoughts of Ava Addams; I closed my eyes, trying to recall the intimacy that we shared the previous night.For several years, I had monitored her from afar, watching every step she took. As the daughter of my sworn enemy Dominik Addams, one would expect that I killed her the moment I laid eyes on her, but that wasn't the case. There was something about her innocence that drew me closer to her, almost making her the exact price to be claimed.My encounter with her the previous night at the bar was never a coincidence, it was a calculated plan that I had spent the entire evening formulating in my head. I knew our paths were going to cross eventually, and I had sent one of my men to distract her friend while I had my way with her. My thoughts were broken away by the sudden ringing of my phone, w

    ~••~Ava~••~"I cannot believe you sold me out to that monster!" I screamed at my father."Ava, I know you are angry with me, and you have every right to be, but as a father, I have to make uncomfortable decisions that involve us." He said, walking closer to me and trying to hold my hands, but I resisted."Don't touch me, father! You are forcing me to walk into the trap of a monster." A tense silence filled the atmosphere. Ever since I realized my mistake of having sex with Aleksei, things had not been the same with me. I could not remove the image of his body from my mind and, most especially, how he had made me feel that night. I promised never to tell anyone about our intimacy, but I never imagined he would stoop so low and forcefully want to have me in place of my brother."I may not know anything about Aleksei, but one thing I do know is that he will not kill you." I looked up at my father. "If he wanted to kill you, he would have done it a long time ago. I am aware he has been s

    ••~Ava~••~"Why will you decide to risk your life escaping from me, without informing anyone?" I looked up at my father, who paced around the room, anger visible on his face.Aleksei sat back down on the couch, a huge smile on his face as he looked between my father and me. He had brought Dmitri back to father, and my half-brother was still tied up in ropes."I will always keep up with my end of the agreement, but the Addams family will never do the same," Aleksei mentioned with a scowl on his face."You don't have to bring my family into this." My father responded and it seemed not to please Aleksei, who turned to one of his gang members and nodded his head. I gasped, seeing a gun pointed at both Klarissa and Dmitri."Since you have failed to keep up with your promise, one of your wards will have to go." I ran over to Klarissa's side, holding her down."You want me, please you don't have to take her life," I begged, tears slowly dropping from my eyes as I spoke."Aleksei, you and I m

    ~••Ava••~After the so-called wedding with Aleksei, my new husband, he led me out of the penthouse's lavish sitting room, taking me through the passageway to stop before a big golden door. The thought of this devil being my husband made bile rise up in my throat, but I held it back down. Besides, I've already vowed to become one with him. Bull-fucking-shit. I'm going to kill him."This is your room." The devil turns to face me the same time I raise my head to look at him. My hatred for him doesn't hide the fact that he's gorgeous. Those jade eyes that pulled me to him that night, and his royal golden hair. He looked like a prince. A dark prince. "Am I that handsome that you lost your tongue?" He smirked at his teasing but I just glared at him."You wish. You look like shit." I turned away from him and moved my hands to the doorknob, turning it and pushing the doors wide open to reveal the luxury that lay inside. It's expected of a Pakhan, the Bratva's Mafia Lord. That's what they were

    ~••Ava••~The dining room of Aleksei's penthouse is like him. Cold, dark and lifeless. Only that he isn't lifeless but heartless. I watched him as he settled himself down at the black head of the chair. The rest of the chairs were black. I took a seat directly opposite him on the other side as the maid servants came to set the dining table. I stared at the food on my plate. It was healthy and everything everyone would want but it made me nauseous. I didn't want to eat anything from this man's hand. Dinner was a silent war. The long dining table stretched between us. Aleksei was cutting his steak with surgical precision, his every movement was calculated and deliberate. Me? I pushed my food around my plate, not even bothering to hide my disdain."Eat." He commanded without looking up, his tone leaving no room for argument.I stared at him, fork frozen mid-air. "Not hungry." I shrug.He glanced at me then, his icy blue eyes looking onto mine and for a moment, the room seemed colder.

    ~••Ava••~The dress was suffocating.Red silk and sequins cling to my body like a second skin. Designed to flaunt curves I didn't want anyone in Aleksei's world to see. The slit on the side was too high, the neckline too low and every step I took in the towering heels felt like a deliberate test of my patience."You're stunning, baby girl." Aleksei said when I stepped out of my room, his voice smooth and low as he adjusted the diamond choker on my neck. His fingers brushed my neck, cold and possessive and I wanted them there. I shook the startling thoughts out of my head immediately.I glared at him, hating how effortlessly he towered over me in his tailored black suit, exuding control and power. "This isn't me."He smirked, ignoring my protest. "Tonight, it is. Smile, baby girl. You're my wife now, they'll expect nothing less from you."I bit back the retort that burned on my tongue as he led me downstairs and outside the compound.***The gala was as suffocating as I'd imagined it w

    ~••Aleksei••~The kiss wasn’t gentle or tender—it was raw, demanding, a clash of anger and desire. She froze for a moment, and I thought she might push me away, but then her hands gripped my jacket, pulling me even closer.The kiss deepened, a battle of dominance neither of us was willing to lose. My hand slid to her waist, pulling her against me, while my other tangled in her hair, forcing her to tilt her head back.When we finally broke apart, both of us were breathing heavily. Her eyes were wide, her lips swollen, and I could see the confusion warring with anger in her expression.“This doesn’t mean I’ve given in,” she whispered, her voice shaky but defiant.I smirked, brushing a thumb over her cheek. “Good. I like a challenge.”But as I stepped back and left her room, giving her space, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t just about control anymore.

    ~••~Ava~••~My thumb hovered above the cell phone in my hand, particularly at Dmitri's number. Father said I shouldn't call, but how could I relay a message without calling them? But then again, this wasn't even about them.Taking in a deep breath, I dialled the number. After a few rings, the call connected. "Dmitri." I said and heard his sharp intake of breath."Ava..." He said exasperatedly, "Father said you shouldn't use the cell again."I rolled my eyes, after they'd call me stupid. "How am I supposed to relay my message then?"Dmitri sighed, "What is It? Has something new happened?" He asked.I bit my lips, "Nothing actually. Just taking care of some traitors as I heard yesterday." I shrugged. Aleksei doesn't have most of his meetings here at home, and even if he does, it's usually in his office inside his room. So to get to his office, I must be inside his room and that's a risk I don't want to take.‘Yeah, says someone who tried to kill him six times.’ I roll my eyes at my inne

    Chapter 12~••~Ava~••~I watched, dumbstruck, how my husband wiped his damp hair with a small towel. His back to me. His arm muscles rippled with his movements. I knew Aleksei was muscular, but I didn't know he was this mouthwatering muscular. He was only dressed in black pants that hung on his waist, letting me see his toned waist. Fuck, he was delectable."Are you just going to stand there, wife?" It was the first time he called my wife and I'm sure my cheeks were tinted pink.I cleared my throat and closed the door, standing right before the wood as though it would offer some help. "I came to call you down for lunch." I said with a calm I certainly don't feel."You did, didn't you?" He dropped the towel and turned, and I,oh dear God, choked on my next breath. His front side is even more breathtaking!He slowly stalked toward me, swaying his strong waists as he came and pinned me with his body against the door. I couldn't even breathe. "Didn't expect you to, though."What? "You exp

    ~••~Aleksei~••~"Did something happen today, Ava?" I asked, staring at her. She narrowed her eyes then raised her left elegant brow."No, are you expecting something to happen?" She responded and I shook my head. "It's strange. You should've been making your next murder attempt. Why are you sitting here watching Igor who doesn't like you?" She glared at me and I chuckled. I like it when she glares."I'm not interested in killing you anymore, since you've proved to be immortal." She snorted and I laughed. "By the way, Igor isn't chasing me away, I don't see how sitting here is any of your concerns." She said then continued watching them."I'm not immortal. Your attempts are too sloppy. I would've said to try guns, but there's no way you can get them." I watched as her eyes moved back to me and widened."Are you giving me tips on murdering you, dear husband?" Gosh, it's criminal how much I love the sound of her calling me ‘husband’. I shrugged, "Don't you need it?" She scoffed then r

    ••Ava••~You know after that little event of trying to murder my Devil of a husband that went to a drain? Yeah, the other five tries went to a drain as well.Day one; I tried snuffing his life out by suffocating him with a pillow. He didn't even fucking thrash, he only held out his hands and gripped my waist as I straddled him. Rubbing the skin and I had to get the hell away from his room because I didn't know what the fuck I was feeling!Day two; Another knife attempt but Igor caught me. Oh it so didn't go well. He yelled what I'm sure were cursed words in Russian then chased me the fuck out of the kitchen. I had to go back and sleep.Day three; I rigged the balcony railing to collapse. Genius plan—until Aleksei turned the tables and pulled me out onto the balcony, insisting I enjoy the view with him. The railing gave way under it, and instead of falling to his death, we ended up in a tangled heap on the grass below. His laughter echoed as he held me close, checking for injuries. I d

    ~••Ava••~After Aleksei left the sitting room, I practically ran up to my own room. I shut and clicked the door locked, going to the wardrobe where I had stashed my phone under many panties. I shuffled for it and when I found it, I went back to the bed, sitting at the edge and then I dialled Dmitri's number. After three rings, it connected."Ava? You took your phone with you?" The question came out exasperatedly."Yeah I had to. I don't think they noticed, if not they would've come to collect it." I told him and he sighed out."That's very dangerous, Ava." I rolled my eyes, it seemed like this was the day everyone told me how dangerous my situation is. "If he catches you, it won't be funny.""Exactly why I wouldn't let him catch me, Dmitri. I'm smarter than that. I called because... I'm attempting to kill him." The name isn't necessary as I'm certain he knows as hell who I'm speaking about.There's a long pause on his end before he said; "Be careful, Ava. I don't want anything happeni
