The Devil's Vow #1: Crimson Promises Crimson 59
The world outside was still in chaos. The war between the Volkov family and their enemies had escalated beyond anything I had imagined, and yet, in the middle of it all, I found myself sitting in a dimly lit warehouse, facing a man who thought he could break me. Viktor Petrov. A name whispered with either fear or contempt, depending on which side of the war you stood on. He was older, with graying hair and sharp, calculating eyes that reminded me of a predator sizing up its prey. He sat across from me, his posture relaxed, as if this was just another business meeting. But the men surrounding us, armed and ready, told a different story. “I’ll get straight to the point, Miss Romano,” Viktor said smoothly, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand. “You don’t belong in this world.” I didn’t flinch. “Funny. I’ve been hearing that a lot lately.” He smirked. “Then you know it’s true. A woman like you—beautiful, smart, capable—you deserve better than this life. Better than Damian Volkov.”

I never thought I’d see a ghost, but standing in front of me was one. Nadia Volkov was supposed to be dead. At least, that was what I—and apparently, everyone else—had believed. Yet here she was, alive and very real, standing in the dimly lit study of Damian’s estate. Damian hadn’t moved since she walked in. His entire body was rigid, his fists clenched at his sides, and his jaw locked so tightly I could almost hear his teeth grinding. The look in his eyes was unreadable—anger, disbelief, pain, all wrapped into one. “You’re dead,” he finally said, his voice eerily calm. Nadia exhaled. “I should be.” The air in the room felt suffocating. I had heard whispers about Damian’s sister before, but the stories never painted a clear picture. Some said she betrayed the Volkov family, some said she was a casualty of war, and others claimed she had simply disappeared, lost to the chaos that came with this life. Damian never spoke about her, not even when I had asked about his past. Now I un

The night air was thick with tension, the weight of the upcoming battle pressing down on us like an unbearable force. The Volkov estate was alive with movement—soldiers preparing their weapons, strategists finalizing battle plans, and allies arriving one by one, each bringing their own army to stand beside us. The sheer scale of what we were about to face was overwhelming, but I refused to let fear take hold. Not now. Damian stood at the center of it all, commanding with an authority that left no room for doubt. His voice was firm as he spoke to his men, issuing orders with the precision of a man who had fought wars before. But as I watched him, I saw something else in his eyes—something deeper, something darker. He was prepared to die for this. The realization settled like a stone in my stomach. I had known from the beginning that this war wasn’t just about power for him. It was about revenge. Justice. But now, as the final battle approached, I feared he had already made peace

The moment the alarm blared through the compound, I knew something was wrong. This wasn’t just another attack—this was something deeper, something planned. The kind of strike that only someone who knew our weaknesses could execute. Damian’s phone buzzed in his hand, and as he read the message, his expression turned to pure stone. His knuckles whitened around the device, his jaw tightening. “What is it?” I asked, already bracing myself. He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he turned toward Luka, who had just rushed in, breathless and furious. “It’s Nikolai,” Luka spat, his hands clenched into fists. “He’s the traitor.” I felt the words hit me like a physical blow. Nikolai—one of Damian’s most trusted men. The man who had been at his side for years, the one who had fought in countless battles with us. I saw the flicker of something dark cross Damian’s face before rage fully settled in his eyes. “Where is he?” Damian’s voice was quiet, too quiet. That was the dangerous part—when

The night was cold, but the heat of adrenaline burned through me like fire. The plan was simple—get in, eliminate the target, and get out before anyone knew what hit them. But if there was one thing I had learned in this life, it was that nothing ever went as planned. Damian stood beside me in the dark, his sharp eyes locked on the massive steel doors of the enemy’s compound. Luka and the others were stationed around the perimeter, ready to strike if things went south. My fingers clenched around the grip of my gun, my heart pounding in sync with the distant sound of sirens in the city. “I still don’t like you being here,” Damian muttered under his breath. I turned to face him, meeting his gaze with unwavering determination. “And I don’t like the idea of sitting on the sidelines while you risk your life. We do this together.” His jaw tightened, but he didn’t argue. He knew by now that I wouldn’t back down. With a silent nod, we moved. The compound loomed before us like a fortress

Pain was an all-consuming thing. It gnawed at the edges of my consciousness, dragging me toward the darkness that threatened to swallow me whole. I tried to fight it, tried to keep my eyes open, but every breath sent fire licking through my ribs. My vision swam, the world tilting in and out of focus. I barely remembered how I got out of that hellhole. One moment, I was fighting for my life; the next, strong arms were carrying me, a familiar voice murmuring my name. Damian. I forced my eyes open, blinking against the harsh glow of the overhead lights. We weren’t in the safe house, but somewhere secure. The walls were reinforced steel, medical supplies scattered across the table. Luka stood near the entrance, giving orders to a handful of Damian’s men. I tried to sit up, but the sharp sting in my side stopped me cold. A hiss slipped past my lips. “Don’t,” Damian’s voice was rough, edged with something I couldn’t quite name. “You’re hurt.” I let my head fall back against the pi

The world outside was still steeped in chaos, but for the first time in what felt like forever, I found myself in a rare moment of stillness. The dim glow of the bedside lamp cast long shadows across the room, its warmth a stark contrast to the cold war raging beyond these walls. I shifted slightly, feeling the dull ache radiate from my injuries. The medics had done their best, patching me up, but I was still weak. My body felt heavy, exhausted from battle, but my mind refused to rest. Not when he was here. Damian sat in a chair beside the bed, elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped together. He looked like a man carrying the weight of the world, his usually sharp eyes clouded with something unreadable. His face was marred with bruises, a gash just above his eyebrow hastily stitched up. He should have been resting too, but I knew he wouldn’t leave. Not until he was sure I was okay. "You should sleep," I murmured, my voice hoarse from exhaustion. He lifted his gaze to me, his d

The air was thick with tension as we stood on the edge of the battlefield. The enemy’s base loomed in the distance, dark and unyielding, a fortress built on blood and betrayal. This was it—the moment we had been fighting for, bleeding for. Damian stood beside me, his expression carved from stone. His black combat gear blended into the night, his presence commanding. Around us, our men waited, their weapons ready, their loyalty unwavering. Luka gave me a nod, his usual smirk absent as he tightened his grip on his rifle. I took a slow breath, steadying my racing heart. "We end this tonight." Damian’s eyes flickered toward me. "No matter what happens, stay close." I almost laughed. "You know that’s not how this works." His jaw tensed, but he didn’t argue. He knew better. I wasn’t just his fiancée—I was his partner in this war. With a silent signal, we moved. The Infiltration The first shot rang out, cutting through the stillness of the night. Chaos erupted as we stormed the enem

The Devil's Vow #1: Crimson Promises Crimson 92 [ Special Chapter 11 ]
Five years had passed since that first time we’d visited the Carnaval. Time had flown by in a way that both amazed and overwhelmed me. Nathan was now a little boy, five years old and full of energy. His laughter was contagious, and every day with him felt like a new adventure. As a family, we had our ups and downs, but there was something about the way our little world had come together that made everything worth it. The idea of going to the Carnaval again was something Damian had suggested a few weeks ago. I had almost forgotten about the tradition we started with Nathan when he was a baby. Now, with him being five, I knew this would be a different experience. Nathan was old enough to appreciate the colors, the music, the rides, and, of course, the games. We were no longer a young couple trying to figure out parenthood. We were a family—stronger, closer, and so much more in tune with each other. I watched as Damian helped Nathan into his little outfit. It was cute and casual, perfe
The Devil's Vow #1: Crimson Promises Crimson 91 [ Special Chapter 10 ]
The day had finally arrived. Isabella had been feeling the first signs of labor for a few hours, and the excitement—and nerves—were palpable. She had been waiting for this moment, but now that it was here, she felt a whirlwind of emotions. Damian, however, was the one who seemed to be caught up in a storm of anxiety. His hands were shaking slightly as he paced the floor beside Isabella’s bed, watching her as she breathed through the contractions. Nadia, ever the supportive sister-in-law, stood nearby, doing her best to keep things calm. But even she couldn’t help but laugh a little at the sight of Damian, who looked as though he was about to faint. His face was pale, and he kept running his hands through his hair in frustration. "Damian, take a breath," Nadia said, trying to hold back a giggle. "You’re going to pass out if you keep pacing like that." Damian gave her a nervous glance. "I don’t know how you’re so calm. This is—" He stopped himself, realizing how ridiculous he sounded
The Devil's Vow #1: Crimson Promises Crimson 90 [ Special Chapter 9 ]
I’ve always heard about the strange cravings and unpredictable moods that come with pregnancy, but nothing really prepares you for experiencing it yourself. When I first found out I was pregnant, everything seemed so surreal—like it was happening to someone else. But then, as the days went on, the reality of it began to sink in, and with that came a whole new world of experiences. The first change I noticed was my cravings. And let me tell you, they were... unexpected, to say the least. At first, it was subtle. I’d crave a little extra chocolate here, a strange combination of pickles and ice cream there. But then, one evening, I found myself standing in front of the fridge, staring at a jar of mustard like it was the most precious thing in the world. I couldn’t explain it, but I had to have it. Damian was on the phone, talking business when I grabbed the jar, and when he saw me sitting on the kitchen counter, spooning mustard straight into my mouth, he nearly dropped his phone. “Isa

As Damian and I continued to bask in the warmth of the moment, I noticed a soft sound coming from the door. My heart skipped a beat before I realized who it was. Nadia. She had probably been watching the whole thing through the hidden camera, waiting for the perfect moment to join us. Her timing was impeccable, as always. I barely had time to process her arrival before the door creaked open and she stepped inside, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “Well, well, well,” she said, leaning casually against the doorframe with a smirk on her face. “It seems someone’s getting a little too comfortable in their new role as ‘Daddy.’” Damian, still sitting on the edge of the bed, shot her a surprised look before a sheepish grin spread across his face. He looked between Nadia and me, clearly caught off guard. “Nadia, you were watching the whole thing?” Nadia raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, her playful expression never faltering. “I may have had a front-row seat to the most beautiful mo

It had been a week since Nadia, the maid, and I discovered the surprising news. A week since I saw the small, positive pregnancy test in my hand and realized that my life was about to change in ways I could never have anticipated. The excitement and fear still bubbled inside me every time I thought about it. But it wasn’t just me who was going to be affected by this news—it was Damian, too. And that’s why I wanted to do something special for him. Something that would surprise him, something that would be ours to share, even if it was just for a moment. I had an idea in my head ever since Nadia and I had looked at that little pink line. Damian had no idea yet, and I wanted to give him a surprise—an unforgettable moment when he would find out. Nadia, as usual, was all for it. She supported me in whatever I wanted to do. “This is for both of you,” she said when I told her my plan. “I’ll just set up a hidden camera in the bedroom, and then it’s all you. I think he’ll love it. You both w

It had been four weeks since our honeymoon in the Maldives, and something felt different. At first, I dismissed the strange feeling, brushing it off as just the weight of all the changes in my life. But the dizziness that came and went, the lack of energy, and the growing sense of exhaustion couldn’t be ignored. There were days when I simply didn’t want to do anything—days when getting out of bed felt like an impossible task. I wasn’t sick, not really. But I felt off. At first, I thought it was just the stress from adjusting to this new life with Damian. There was still so much to figure out—our relationship, the balance between work and life, everything. But as the days went by, I began to notice something else: my appetite had changed. I was eating more than usual, craving things I wouldn’t normally want. I could feel my body demanding food at strange hours. It wasn’t like me, at all. Nadia, my ever-watchful sister-in-law, seemed to notice too. One afternoon, as we sat together in

Honeymoon in the Maldives.I never thought I’d get here, standing in the Maldives with Damian, of all people, by my side. It had been a long road to this moment. The wedding was everything I had hoped for, but the thought of a honeymoon—a trip where we could finally relax, away from all the chaos of our lives—felt surreal.The first day was everything I had expected and more. The sun hung lazily in the sky, its golden rays reflecting off the crystal-clear waters that stretched as far as the eye could see. The soft sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the warm breeze brushing against my skin—it all felt like a dream. Damian and I had been taken on a guided tour of the island. We swam in lagoons, explored lush green paths lined with flowers, and even fed tropical fish by the water. It was a perfect day. The kind of day I had always imagined, where nothing mattered except the beauty of the world around me and the person by my side.I could see the joy in Damian’s eyes as we exp

Wedding Day. The morning of the wedding was nothing like I had imagined. In all the hours I spent dreaming about this day, I had envisioned the excitement, the butterflies in my stomach, the overwhelming feeling of love. What I hadn’t expected, though, was the stillness. The calm before the storm. I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at myself. The woman staring back at me wasn’t the girl who had been forced into a marriage for power. She wasn’t the same person who had been manipulated by her parents or the woman who had walked into the Volkov family’s world, frightened and uncertain of her place. The woman in the mirror was someone entirely different. Stronger. More confident. Someone who had fought for what she wanted. Someone who was ready to step into her future with a man who had shown her love and respect in ways she never thought possible. I ran my fingers over the fabric of my wedding dress, the delicate lace soft against my fingertips. The dress had been chosen with D
The Devil's Vow #1: Crimson Promises Crimson 84 [ Special Chapter 3 ]
It had been a whirlwind of emotions these past few months—wedding preparations, life changes, and the overwhelming shift in my heart as I had finally accepted the love Damian and I shared. But even amidst all the excitement, there was something unresolved. Something that had been lingering in the back of my mind for a long time now—my parents. I hadn’t spoken to them much since everything had unfolded. They had always kept their distance after the deal with the Volkov family had been struck. But now that my wedding was just around the corner, I felt like I needed to face them. Not as their obedient daughter, but as someone who had been wronged and yet, someone who had learned to forgive. I owed it to myself, to them, and to the life I had built with Damian. Damian understood. He knew this wasn’t going to be easy for me, but he promised he’d be there for me no matter what. The love I had for him had become something that felt unshakable, and I had learned to lean on him in ways I ne
