Ruslan

Without my work to distract me, Vera’s sudden absence has taken a tremendous toll on my spirit.

The house felt so quiet and barren as soon as she was gone, just like it did before she left. It feels just the way it always did, except now I’ve been forced to endure it on my own without her warmth.

At least before Vera, I had Misha.

Now I have neither, and I’ve called my life’s meaning into question multiple times in the past few days.

Attending Misha’s funeral today is going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

I wish I hadn’t even met Vera, because now I know how good it feels to have her by my side. I’ve experienced her compassion and sweetness, but she’s chosen her own path instead of sharing one with me.

I’ve tried to picture what my brother would think about this whole situation, but I can’t find his voice in my head like I usually can. His advice was always perfectly timed, t

    Ruslan I pull up to the abandoned building in the industrial park, my heart racing as I think about what’s to come. Yan is sitting next to me, silent as always, but I can tell he’s justas tense as I am.I knew Yan wouldn’t put me in a position where I felt undermined, but there’s something about facing one of Misha’s attackers that rattles me.Retaliating is a part of the bratva life, and it’s something you have to be willing to do in order to maintain your presence as a respected authority figure. I’ve taken out my anger and hostility on plenty of rivals who deserved it, and I hoped that this would be no different.But right now, I can already tell I’m going to have trouble separating myself from the context of this interrogation.Intimidating people has always been fun for me, especially toward those who throw their weight around and expect to never be caught for it.Knowing that this man thought he had a g

    Vera Being back at campus has felt nothing short of alien since I returned.It’s been tough to swallow the fact that nobody even noticed that I was gone, not even Eric who supposedly wanted nothing more than to date me for the past year. My roommate never reached out to me either, but she might have been on vacation this whole time judging by the fact that I haven’t seen her.It’s not like she would give a shit anyway. I could tell from the moment we met that she was going to grieve my presence every night that she didn’t have the apartment to herself. All she ever wants to do is stay in and smoke weed with her creepy, gross boyfriend who leers at me from the couch when I leave my room.Smelling my own apartment again after two weeks is surreal. I always knew that houses had a smell to them, and I’ve always been curious about what mine smells like. Right now, it’s a combination of dirty dishes, spilled beer, and stale cig

    Vera It feels so strange to be back at Ruslan’s house again.I had forced myself to detach from my memories of him,and part of that was coming to terms with the fact that I’d never see the inside of this place again.However, it doesn’t take long before I feel Ruslan’s hands gliding over my body as we enter. He wants one thing right now, and he’s not going to wait a moment longer to have it.The heat in my lower belly swells as he grabs my wrist. He turns me toward him as he presses me into the wall behind me. His hand slips down my chest, teasing my panty line and sending a chill up to my nipples.I’ve been doing my best to avoid thinking about Ruslan since I left, but all of the repressed sexual desire that I’ve shoved down is bubbling back up faster than I can contain it. His smell, the taste of his tongue in my mouth, the incredible feeling of his fingertips against the fabric of my panties – it’s all flooding bac

    Vera Feeling Ruslan leave my side so abruptly in the middle of the crowd threatens to send me into hysterics.I haven’t had enough time to process what happened here, and the one person I trusted to keep me safe here has disappeared on me.I can’t waste time allowing myself to freak out and shut down, but I might not have a choice if things get really out of hand.When I remember what we’re here for, my fear and horror strangle my guts.Things are supposed to get out of hand here. Someone is guaranteed to die, and whether they deserve it or not is irrelevant.“Yan, what should we do? Are we just supposed to stay behind?” I ask frantically.“I’m not sure, I’ve never seen this happen before. All we can do is hope that he gets ahold of himself before his anger throws him off his mission,” Yan replies, shouting through the swarm of people encompassing us.The fairground is a blur of co

    Vera I  can’t shake off the guilt that’s weighing on me.Yan’s death was directly my fault, and I don’t know how tomake it right. If Yan didn’t feel like Ruslan entrusted him to protect me, he would have been able to seek shelter before he got shot. I have no doubt that Yan had seen many firefights in his day, and likely could have responded with a swift and experienced hand.Instead, he chose to stay by my side.My emotions threaten to burst forth, spilling out all over the place just to leave another mess for us both to clean up.“I hate to ask, since the answer seems obvious, but are you alright?” Ruslan asks, sliding his hand from my thigh to my shoulder and giving a reassuring squeeze.Tears begin to fall straight from my eyes, overflowing onto my shirt as I struggle helplessly to stop them.“I’m so sorry about Yan, Ruslan. I know I keep saying it, and it’s probably making all of this

    Vera Ruslan and I lay behind the barn, looking up at the stars. The night is dark and calm, and we both feel a sense of serenity after the burial.“What are you going to do now?” I ask him.“I’ll schedule a meeting with the ammunition dealer and continue with my original plan. I may have lost a hell of a lot along the way, but I have not lost sight of my business. In fact, I’ve gained something far more important, something I was missing,” he says.“Love,” I reply, turning to him and resting my head on his chest.“Love and trust. Without both, there’s no way for me to be fulfilled in this life. That’s obvious to me now. But I believe things will continue to improve from here, and I have all the hope in the world that your presence in my life will help make me into a better person,” he says.I take a deep breath, struggling to muster the courage to tell him what’s been weighing heavily on my mind sin

Alix Smith — the woman he should have killed three months ago.Alix’s husband, George, had been building up a debt in one of the Balakin Bratva’s known casinos. That hadn’t been a problem for Dmitry.

As we drive down the Las Vegas strip, I am amazed at all the lights and scenery. Nikolai takes my hand and tells me, “You’re going to be my wife.”I blush; it still feels like a dream. “I never thought this would happen, especially after everything we’ve been through.”Nikolai smiles and squeezes my hand. “You’ve changed my perspective on relationships. I never imagined feeling this way about someone. You’ve become the most important person in my life.”Tears fill my eyes as I tell him, “I never thought I would find someone who accepts me for who I am, flaws and all.

    Nikolai  Once we arrive at the compound, I guide Adalina upstairs to our bedroom. My gaze lingers on her, and I feel a shift in my heart. It feels lighter, no longer burdened.

She responds eagerly and wraps her arms around my neck.In that moment, everything else fades away as I surrender to the overwhelming passion, I feel for Adalina. This intense connection is unlike anything I have ever experienced before, and I can no longer deny or ignore these feelings.As we part from the kiss, I express with conviction, “You’re mine. You belong to me. And I belong to you.”The next morning, I find out which hospital Gwen Vincenzio was taken to. As I enter the ICU waiting area, I spot Paul sitting with a few unfamiliar faces.

    AdalinaI haven’t spoken to anyone, not even my father, in two days. The only people I have seen are my father’s bodyguards bringing me meals on a tray. My face, arms and legs are covered in dark bruises. The wedding gown will hide most of them. Except for the ones on my face. I refuse to cover them up, I will wear them proudly and show the world what my father does to me behind closed doors.I get ready for my wedding day alone. No makeup artist, no hairstylists, nothing. No reception, no family—just a quick church ceremony. No photographer, no flowers, no bridesmaids. I slip into the wedding gown and style my hair. I do not wear the wedding veil; I want my face to be seen. I am ready to embrace what lies ahead in my future.The two days in solitary confinement have given me time to think. Time to plan. I will marry Mario and sleep with him on our wedding night. I have to in order to keep Delphina safe. When Mario is not around, I will access the email, information, new identities, a

    AdalinaI awaken abruptly in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat. It was a nightmare, a terrifying vision of Maxim and the horrible things he had done to me. Then, in the twisted realm of my dream, Maxim transforms into Mario, intensifying my fear of what he could do to me. I get out of bed and splash cool water on my face, attempting to calm myself.Gazing into the mirror, I see how tired I look. My face is pale, and I have dark circles under my eyes. The urge to escape from this place, from Mario and everything he represents, overtakes me. Yet, the thought of Delphina taking my place stops me. After the wedding, I must find a way to flee from Mario’s clutches, taking Delphina with me. Despite Nikolai’s lack of love and the heartbreak he caused, he provided me with the means to escape Mario, my father, and the mafia.

    NikolaiThe first thing I do when I get back to the compound is find Tatyana. I can feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins. I had waited to confront her until Adalina was gone.Tatyana is sitting in the kitchen at the island bar sipping a cup of coffee. She is dressed down today in jeans and a shirt. She looks disheveled like she hasn’t gotten any sleep. Now that Adalina is no longer here, I can let my dark side out. I grab Tatyana’s throat with one hand and apply pressure. She needs to know that I am no longer playing games with her.“I just have one fucking question.” I get right in her face as I squeeze her throat.“Nikolai, what are you doing? Let go of me!”“Have you been working with Maxim? Did you help him kidnap Tatyana?” I am furious.“No. Nikolai, of course not!”“I am going to torture Maxim for answers, if he so much as hints that you two are working together, you are fucking dead!”“Nikolai, I swear on my loyalty to you and the Bratva that I would never betray you.”

    Adalina  My heart is pounding in my chest as I hide underneath my covers. I can’t stop thinking about everything Nikolai said to me. I knew what was coming, but I didn’t want to hear it. I couldn’t bear to see the look of finality in his eyes.His voice echoes in my ears, repeating, “Adalina… We can no longer be together. I don’t have feelings for you. I have to let you go.”With those words, my heart shatters into a millionpieces.“Why?” I whisper to myself, seeking answers that maynever come.Tears stream down my cheeks as I plead, “Please, Nikolai, don’t do this. I can’t live without you.”I sob uncontrollably, overwhelmed by the realization that Nikolai is leaving my life forever.Nikolai Adalina spends the night and the following day in her room. She doesn’t speak to anyone. Osip brings her meals. But she barely eats anything. I leave her alone.

    Adalina It’s almost 5:00 p.m. when I wake up in Nikolai’s arms. We made love three times, and he was surprisingly gentle and loving. As he continues to sleep, I quietly make my way into the bathroom for a quick shower. I borrow his bathrobe, which hangs loosely on me. I quickly comb my hair, though it’s still a bit messy and almost dry. My eyes are still red from crying, and I dread the nightmares that may haunt me about Maxim.Exiting the bathroom, I find Nikolai pulling on a pair of grey sweatpants. His body is flawless, with well-defined muscles and sexy tattoos. I love the trail of black hair that runs from his stomach to his groin. I take him all in as he pulls on his sweatpants.Nikolai notices my admiring gaze and smirks. I walk over to him, and he puts his arms around me.“Feeling better, Zayka,” he says, planting a tender kiss on the top of my head.“Yes, thanks for not putting that ankle brac

    Adalina I watch in horror as bullets whiz past my head, instinctively covering my ears to shield myself from the deafening sound of gunfire.I watch in awe as Nikolai takes down each man with incredible precision, his movements fluid and graceful. Of course. He is an assassin. I don’t know how long the gunfight lasts, but it feels like hours. Eventually, the shooting stops, and I peek out from behind Nikolai to see what’s happened. Maxim is still lying on the ground, unconscious, and Nikolai’s men are all standing around, looking relieved.Nikolai The gunfire stops, and I turn to Adalina, she is shaking and crying, but she is unharmed. I feel a wave of relief wash over me. She is safe.“Is it over?” Adalina asks, her voice barely above a whisper.“It’s okay, I’ve got you,” I whisper as I stroke her hair. “You’re safe now.”Adalina clings to me, burying her face in my chest. “Thank you for saving me.

    Adalina  As I wake up, my head throbs, and my eyes feel heavy. I lie on a bed in a dingy motel room, and the air is thick with the smell of stale smoke and cheap cologne. Maxim sits next to me, his gaze fixated on my face with a sinister look in his eyes. I immediately shut my eyes, pretending to be unconscious, afraid of what he might do next.“I know you’re awake Adalina. Open those prettyeyes.”I open my eyes but don’t look at Maxim. The room isdimly lit by a single lamp, casting shadows on the walls and on the old and mismatched furniture. The lumpy bed I am laying on has faded floral sheets that have not been changed in a long time. The walls are yellowed and peeling, and the carpet is threadbare and stained.Maxim strokes my head with his hand. “Don’t touch me!” I exclaim as I pull away.“Now, now, Adalina. Don’t be like that.
