My breath caught in my throat, and I had to force myself to breathe. But to do that, I first had to take my eyes off how perfecthewas and let my gaze drift over to our sleeping boy.

“What are we going to name him?”

Timur sat on the edge of my bed and moved his shoulders, his broad back facing me. “I haven’t thought of it. But I’ve always liked Matvey. When I was younger, my cousin and I faked names at clubs to trip the ladies. Matvey always worked for me.”

I ignored the rest of the statement and focused on the name. “Doesn’t sound bad. What does it mean?”

“Gift from God.”

I blinked. “You believe in the big man upstairs? Shocking.”

He laughed, and the sound thrilled me. “What I believe is that you and that boy right there are good gifts I don’t deserve, no matter how twisted the situation and fucked up our situation is.”

He'd left me utterly speechless, and I struggled to find words. “Um…is there…uh…is there any other name you have in mind? I can’t think of anything else.”

“Vladimir.”

    TimurEpilogue“She got six cakes?”“Shebakedsix cakes, and they tasted fucking delicious.”Rafayel rolled his eyes, lifting the tray with the chicken from the kitchen island. He looked sharp with a clean trim, a black polo shirt over denim jeans, and suede Timberlands. “The birthday man hasn’t even cut the fucking cake, and you already had a taste. Jayden, get the wine bottles. Tonight, I have a feeling I’m about to be fucking wasted in this party.”Arlo snorted, stuck a cigar into his mouth, and grabbed a beer before following Rafa out of the house to the backyard. “The birthday man’s wife is generous. Should I have said no?”“Yes.”“Fuck no. Take this advice; you’ll worship me for it: Never pass up an opportunity to taste Serena’s cake.”Bickering, they ignored me and went on their way to the grill, but Jayden stopped beside me before heading upstairs to get the wine crate. Eyes hard and jaw set, I prepared for the worst thing to come flying out of his mouth. I could sense the weig

    “Tell me, baby.” “Yellow.” “I’m serious.” Sighing, I’d scrambled to the edge of the bed and grabbed her to straddle my waist. She threw her arms around my neck, and I lowered my head to take one of her soft breasts in my mouth. “Black.” She’d arched forward, feeding me more. “Great. Family, friends, dusk, lights, chicken, cake—” “What are you doing?” I mumbled against her nipple. “Planning.” “I’ll be in Moscow on Friday.” “No, you won’t,” she’d said sternly. “You are going to stay here with me.” Her eyes had sparkled with amusement. “We’re going to celebrate your birthday this year.” She smiled. I’d raised an eyebrow. “Oh? And what do you have planned?” Serena’s smile had grown wider as I rolled her on her back. “You’ll just have to wait and see.” And I was more than impressed with what I’d seen. “You didn’t have to do any of this.” I kissed our son on the head and planted one on her cheek. “One night with you in our bed would have been enough for me.” Laughin

    Maybe.Or it was something else, like a desire to meet women who would strike a challenge, pose to be some inferno I couldn’t possibly quench, even if I tried. I’d never really enjoyed an easy chase, and the irony was that they all came too easy.“None for you, Rafa?”I met Maxim’s half-lidded gaze over the bare shoulder of the girl with her lips perched on his neck. He was high on ecstasy and desire, and I didn’t blame him. If I could channel my inner twenty-five-year-old, Maxim would have gladly sent her over to my suite when he was done. We’d never had a problem sharing our women. It was part of the package.I rose to my feet, tilting a glass toward him. “None. But you have fun. You’ve earned it.”The spread of their happiness spurred a smile to curl up the corner of my lips, and I basked in self-content. Fuck it, I was a proud man.I tipped my head back to swallow. I liked this: the satisfaction of a fulfilled man. Didn’t matter that I’d had spontaneous urges to punch some of them

    Leonora“Car’s Outside” by James Arthur was my best song yet. I had it playing in my ears right now, and it worked its magic again. It was my go-to, the melody I relied on whenever something big was stirring inside me, whenever nerves threatened to take over. And just like every other time, it worked.I refused to look when I passed by the grandstands and instead tried to regulate my breath.With sharp focus, I hastened my steps to the paddock. I was already two minutes late. Any more than that off the clock, and Gavin could literally yell my ear off for slacking.More than hundreds—thousands—of people were gathered, waving everything they could while cheering us on: shirts, pictures, flags, and cardboard. They turned up in various colors, and their energy was electric, charging the atmosphere with a harmonious excitement of spirited chants. Feedback from the commentators resonated from the speakers planted in every corner, formally preparing the audience for the big start. Their chan

    In the twenty-three years of my life, I always put family first.Always.My destiny was premeditated, even before I was born, and I’d never tried to fight or question it. Protecting my father’s legacy and preparing myself for the big shoes I would feel as the daughter of the Italian Don was the primary focus—my priority. I’d done it all, the necessary training, the meetings, the preliminary inductions into the mafia, and I let nothing stand in my way.But after family, racing came next. It wasn’t just a passion; it was oxygen. The countless hours of tireless training, sweat-drenched sessions, and sacrifices—every moment had led to this big one. The Long Beach Grand Prix.One hundred thousand dollars—100,000 freaking dollars!—hung precariously in the balance. I could get that money from my father in less than ten minutes, but then it wouldn’t be earned. It wouldn’t be consideredmine.“Already practicing how you’re going to cry after I beat you?”I turned away from my car with a grimace a

    The countdown officially started with the lights hanging overhead. As the digital numbers went down from three to one, I counted alongside them under my breath.Tre.I was going to win this.Due.I was going to win this.Uno….Game time.The loud buzzer cut through the chants in the air, spreading tension from the drivers to the grandstands—everyone could feel it.“Partenza!” Gavin charged over the earpiece.As the numbers turned green, I slammed the accelerator, and my baby surged forward like a wild animal unleashed. The prize. The harsh sound of tires screeching or rubber burning didn’t matter. The wind whipped, and I felt the heat in my helmet. The world beside me and behind faded to a blur. I kept my eyes on the goal—the finish line.Heat haze shimmered. The sun beat down, and the track gleamed like molten gold, the surface reflecting the vibrant colors of the cars.A quick glimpse, and I caught the speedometer needle dancing toward triple digits, and my stomach dropped with each

    Our eyes met, and he didn’t even flinch; he just smiled and tipped his blue solo cup toward me.Sandy blond hair, long, athletically carved legs, and a soft jawline. He wasn’t close enough to tell the color of his eyes, but I had no doubt that they were pretty.The stranger was cute, in a rich boy-playboy way. But a man like him wasn’t cut from the same cloth as me.If he got any closer, I could bet he had clean, trimmed fingernails, good designer shoes, and straight white teeth that, without a doubt, had never been knocked out before.It was simple. Pretty Boy over there was a descendant of a soft and easy heritage, while people like me, who had illegal early childhood training in getting clear headshots, were not advised to mingle.The reason was simple: Where I came from, Pretty Boy and his likes almost never survived.Before he started trudging through the sand toward me, I turned away—And accidentally bumped into someone else.A girl, this time around.We stood close enough to o

    I was grateful.Andrei’s face creased with worry. “Are you okay?”I drifted back to the presence and nodded. “I just thought of Dad. I mean, isn’t it funny how I was able to meet you because of the shipment he hid?”“Tell me about it. You think Peter had this all mapped out before he died?” Andrei asked with a playful grin. “That he wanted me to meet you?”I shrugged. “He was a genius. It’s not completely out of the box. He worked with you, so he must’ve known how great of a person you are.”Andrei chuckled. “Your father watched me murder men in cold blood a few times. There is no way he would have wanted a man like me for his daughter.”I looked him straight in the eyes and corrected him. “Every father wants a man who would love and protect their daughter. You’re all of those things, and I’m sure he would have approved.”Even if Mom hadn’t been a fan of it at first, she’d adjusted pretty well.Andrei took my hands and kissed the back of my palm. “And I promise to always love and prot

    GiselleSeven Months Later“It’s your birthday in less than an hour,” Mom said over the phone.For the first time since Dad died, she sounded happier, as if she’d finally gotten to that final stage of grief.Acceptance.The stage where even though the pain was still there, it just became easier to live with.I believed I’d also gotten to that stage.There were days when I missed Dad so much and wished he was still here, but those days were fleeting, and I found myself cherishing the memories we had when he was here.I’d shifted my focus to finding my own path in life and living in the moment. Andrei was the moment; because of him, I could live happily and smile freely again, something I never thought I would experience after Dad died.I stared blankly at the wall above me and sighed. “Yes, Mom. It’s my twenty-third birthday in an hour, and the only company I have is an empty house.”It was the first time I’d ever been home alone for a while now. Andrei made it a duty to always come ho

    “I think we need to celebrate.” She leaned in and whispered. “Let’s sneak away from here.”I took her hand in mine. “Come with me.”She squinted. “Where are we going?”“You’ll see.”I led her to the rooftop of the building, closing the door behind us to avoid any interruptions and burying the noise of the chaos below.The rooftop was quiet, and the city stretched out before us, a glittering expanse of lights and movement. The night breeze was cool, carrying with it the distant sounds of cars racing down the street.Giselle stood beside me, her hands covered in mine as she admired the full moon and the bed of stars in the sky.Our fingers grazed, and it felt like the entire world had been set ablaze, the heat licking through my veins and the air cracking with a jolt of tension.The weird feeling in my chest intensified, and my pulse raced. It was a reminder of what she meant to me—what I’d just discovered she meant to me.I watched her, something in my chest fluttering as I admired how

    AndreiThe air was thick with the aroma of burning cigars, the low murmur of laughter and conversation blending with the shuffle of cards and the clinking of crystal glasses.My fingers drummed idly against the felt-covered table, my gaze sweeping across my opponents.They were all seasoned members of the Bratva with hands that were scarred from bloodshed and dark eyes that threatened death.Antonio Morozov and Victor Volkov.We were all cut from the same cloak—all three of us—bred with cruelty, brutality, and bloodshed. Different in many ways yet similar in more than one.And at this table, every card we tossed was a matter of our pride. The joy that came with victory surpassed winning a war with a rival family.I’d always been a good player, only lost a game a couple of times. My skills were unbeatable, and everyone here knew it.But it was different tonight. Giselle’s presence made it different.She sat on the edge of a leather chair across the room, her back straight and hands fol

    I wrapped my arms around his neck, reveling in the heat seeping from his body and into mine as he carried me to our room.His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard, his body pressing against mine and enveloping me with warmth.We barely made it past the bedroom door when I shifted from the position in one fluid motion, wrapping my legs around his hips and tracing his lips with mine.His arm snaked around me, and one of his hands slid under my swimsuit, finding my bare breast and cupping it.I raked my fingers through his hair and kissed him. It was a hot, searing, primal kiss that evoked something deeper than lust from both of us. It was need, mixed with deep yearning.He deepened the kiss, dragging his thumb across my nipple and twisting it lightly.I moaned into his mouth, bucking when I felt his erection poke against my sex, and ground against him, desperate to ease the throbbing between my thighs.He slid a hand through my thong and cupped my sex, and then, fisting the thong, he ripp

    I swam toward him, resting my elbow on the edge just by his feet and tilting my head to look at him. “It’s called a two-piece swimsuit.”“Ah, I see.” He whipped his head around and glared at his guards, a silent signal for them to look away.I laughed. He hadn’t just grown more protective; he’d become even more possessive and jealous as well. It was cute to see. “You know they’ve been watching me swim every day for weeks now, right?”“Well, they’re not allowed to watch you swim anymore. No man is allowed to watch you swim beside me.”I huffed. He’d just saved me from having to discuss the bodyguard situation. “How was work today, husband?”“I had a couple of meetings with thePakhanand a couple of members of the Bratva. All I could think of while I was there was coming back home to you.” He placed a finger beneath my chin and leaned in. “I missed you.”“Me, too.” I squinted and grinned. “I think I missed you more.”He pretended to think for a moment. “I doubt it.”Something about the w

    GiselleIt’d been two months since the whole fiasco with the FBI and Tyfun-1. Luckily, the cops hadn’t found anything to implicate me with the drugs, and the news about it had become irrelevant.A lot of things had changed—like my relationship with Andrei.I’d started to truly enjoy his presence, with no fear or doubts attached, and I missed him in his absence—like a part of me had been torn away.He’d changed a lot, too, over the months.Although he was still that dominant, fearful, and brutal man others feared, he’d become softer with me. He smiled more now and didn’t have to pretend to be cold whenever we were together.To be honest, I didn’t think I could’ve pulled a better man than him on my own, even if I tried.It was the middle of summer, and the weather outside was scorching. Andrei wouldn’t be home until evening, and I’d grown tired of watching TV.I went to the pool outside, sliding off my robe and slipping into the water. I groaned as a blissful chill cascaded over me, was

    And there was no way in hell I was going home tonight without the damn camellias.***When I got home, Giselle was standing in the living room, arms crossed, waiting. Her hair was loose, falling in dark waves over her shoulders. Her lips parted slightly as her gaze dropped to the box in my hands.She held her chest and exhaled. She ran to me, pressing up on her toes to hug me.I snaked one arm around her waist, hugging her back. She smelled jasmine and vanilla tonight—delicious and sweet.“I was so worried, Andrei,” she whispered, hugging me tightly, as if I would vanish into thin air if she pulled away. “You told me you were coming home hours ago.”I pulled back first and pressed a kiss on the top of her head. “I was coming home until I saw something that looked just as beautiful as you.”She peered at the box again but completely ignored it. “Did you get into trouble? Was thePakhanmad at you?”I looked at her long and hard—the way her brows creased with worry and her emerald eyes da

    “I’ve seen how you men live. I’ll be damned before I let myself become that kind of a mess.”I nodded. I’d thought the same thing months ago, and here I was, risking it all for a woman I never thought I’d meet.She’d been freaking worried this morning, afraid of how this would turn out. I needed to go back home to her. I needed to see her face and watch her give that delightful smile when I broke the news to her.Rising to my feet, I smoothed out my suit and nodded to thePakhan. “I’ll be leaving now. I’ll give you an update if there’s any soon.”He nodded back. “Khorosho.”Dobryn was leaning on the white S.U.V. when I reached the parking lot. His face wrinkled with concern when he saw me. “How did it go, sir?”“Luckily, he wasn’t angry.” I climbed into the back seat, pulling out my phone to text Giselle that I was on my way home.The car roared beneath me, and soon, Dobryn reeled it out of the parking lot. “Where are we going now?” he asked, peering at me through the rearview mirror.
