She yelled at him even more.” Katya said

“What happened?”

“Well, he yelled because she burned the first batch. She yelled because he didn’t tell her how long they should stay in the oven. They don’t understand each other, but it’s hilarious.”

We watch them quietly from the doorway.

“What happened with the second batch?” I ask. “Did that burn too?”

“The second batch was fine. They took it out when the boys came in for lunch. Everyone grabbed one or two, and in five minutes, they were gone.” Katya laughs. “Oh, Nila was furious.”

“Why? Did she want to eat them all herself?”

Katya gives me a mischievous smile, like a cat who’s caught a mouse. “No, Adrian. She was mad because they didn’t leave any for you.”

At that moment, Nila looks up, our eyes meet, and she gives me a smile that feels like the sun breaking through the clouds, warming me. I find myself wishing this moment was real and not just an act.

Her heels click on the floor as she walks over to me, the sound echoing in the space.

    Nila took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. “Mom, come on. We only met a week ago. Of course not.”“But we’re working on it,” I added, holding Nila’s hand. “Right, love?”Nila blinked, then smiled and leaned in to kiss me. “Yes, we are.”Her father, Thomas Roberts, sat silently across the table. He hadn’t spoken much all evening and kept avoiding my gaze. When he did glance at me, he quickly looked away, hiding his trembling hands under the table. I didn’t like Thomas either. It wasn’t just about the money he took from me. He knew who I was, yet he let his daughter marry me to protect himself. What a coward.My phone vibrated on the table. Pavel's name appeared on the screen. It was only six in the evening, too early for club business, so this had to be something else. I answered the call.“Boss, we’ve got an issue.”Of course, there was a problem. “What is it?”“The Italians showed up. Sandro wants to change the deal.”“Tell him to talk to Nico. That’s his job.”“They met earlie

    I move my head to the side and look at the large canvas in front of me. It’s too bright. I grab the palette and mix some black with the light pink then begin adding darker shadows.Ten of my pieces are finished and ready to be sent to the gallery. That makes Fifteen in total, with the five I sent before everything in my life changed. I still have five more to finish by the end of next week to meet my deadline for the exhibition. But for now, I’m working on the big one. Normally, I finish all the smaller pieces first and leave the main one for last. Not this time. It seems like Adrian messed with my mind and my creative process.I haven’t seen him much these past three weeks, only in the mornings, before he heads to his office downstairs for whatever mafia bosses do, and then again in the evenings when he returns for dinner. I make sure to visit his office at least twice a day, always at the worst times. Most times, there’s someone else with him. When I’m not doing that, I walk around

    NILA'S POV I spend an hour walking Brando through the house and garden so he can get familiar with everything. He’s a little jumpy with all the new people, but eventually, he settles down on the bed in the corner of my room and falls asleep.I pass the kitchen, grab an apple from the bowl, and head to my workspace by the library. There are still a few hours of natural light, and I plan to use that time to work on the last five pieces for my exhibition. I should call my manager to tell him to send the courier for the finished paintings. Mark prefers having as many pieces as possible a few days before the event so he can arrange the photographer and get the catalog printed.I take my phone out of my jeans pocket and call Mike while I move the finished pieces by the big window.When he answers, I greet him, “Hey, love.”“I know that tone,” he groans. “You’re behind again.”“No way. I would never do that to you.”“Damn it, Nila. How far behind are you?”“A few days. But the big one is do

    "I suggested watching over him for a couple of weeks. That should give him enough time to do his part." "And what exactly is his part?" Adrian asks. "You know how dogs tend to wander through the house, sneak into different rooms, and find places to hide? Brando’s all about that. I’m guessing I’ll be chasing him through the house a lot in the coming days. Who knows, maybe he’ll end up in Leonard’s room." She smiles playfully at me. I chuckle and shake my head. "You're a troublemaker, little one." "What's that?" she asks, confused. "Little one? It’s a term of endearment. It means something sweet." She tilts her head and smiles slyly. "Well, I did say most people are small compared to you, Adrian." The waiter brings our drinks. As Nila grabs her glass, I notice her wedding ring looks loose. I take her hand to inspect it. "This should be resized." "Don't worry about it. The engagement ring is keeping it in place. I even spilled some paint on it the other day, scrubbed it clean, an

    I almost lose control, but he pulls back too soon, making me growl in frustration. "If you don’t get inside me right now," I say, gripping his hair, "I swear I’ll kill you." He smiles and lifts me, guiding me over him. His eyes stay locked on mine as he enters me. I moan, and he groans my name. He’s bigger than I expected, but it feels so good. I dig my nails into his shoulders as he moves, and I scream in pure pleasure. Roman groans my name, and moments later, he comes inside me. It’s perfect. Adrian’s hand traces patterns down my neck and over my back, then back up. I’ve been lying on his chest for a while, but I can’t bring myself to move. "Nila? You okay?" he asks. "Yeah," I sigh. "But I’m not moving. I like it here." "I like you here too, little one," he replies softly.**************************************************I wake up to a soft tapping sound above my head. I stretch and open my eyes. I’m lying on the sofa, with a pillow under my head and a blanket covering me. T

    “There was a small problem with our supplier, and things got out of control.”“Kostya?”“He got a cut from a knife on his side. He’ll be okay.”I turn to look at the island where the doctor is finishing stitching up Kostya’s side. Sergio is putting an IV needle into his arm, while Katya is holding a bag of fluids.“Do you need help with something?” I ask.“No, let’s go upstairs. Katya and Sergio are handling it, and the doctor will stay here tonight.”*******“Is it always like this? Things going wrong, people getting hurt or shot?” I ask as we walk into the suite. I’m still shaking. “Or cars exploding?”“Not all the time. But it does happen.”My throat feels dry. How is he so calm? I go to the kitchen, grab a glass, and pour cold water from the fridge. “This is crazy, Adrian.” I shake my head and drink the water, wishing it was something stronger. “Your world is really messed up.”“I can’t do anything about it, Nila,” he says.Yeah, I guess that’s one way of seeing it.

    After ending the call, I focus on the reports Mikhail sent me and the plans for the shipments next week. But my mind keeps wandering to thoughts of a certain woman with black hair, and it’s hard to concentrate.*******“How about this one?”Nila steps out of the changing room in a little black dress. It has a high neck and a hem that barely covers her bottom. The design is simple, but the way it fits her body and shows off her small waist is anything but simple. The dress, paired with strappy high heels and her hair up, is very stunning, and I can't stop looking at her legs and her perfect little bottom. If she wore this outside, people would definitely notice her.“We’re buying it,” I say in a tight voice, “but find something else for the dinner.”“Why? What’s wrong with it?” She looks at herself in the mirror and tilts her head. “Is it too plain?”“I don’t want my business partners staring at my wife’s legs all evening.”“Stop being so oldfashioned, Adrian. It’s not that short.”“Yo

    A light touch of a finger between my legs wakes me up. A kiss lands at the back of my neck, then another, a little lower. Adrian’s big body presses into me from behind, his arm coming around my stomach, plastering me to his hard, muscled chest. His hand slides to my pussy and starts circling my clit with one finger. When he slowly enters my core, I gasp, grab Adrian’s arm, and start riding his finger. But he removes his hand. I turn around so I’m lying on my side, facing him, throw one leg over his hip, and reach for his cock. “Patience.” He wraps an arm around my ribcage and raises me to sit on his stomach. Placing his hands behind my knees, he urges me up his body until I’m sitting on his breastbone. “Adrian?” I look down at him in surprise. “You are not comfortable lying on your back. So, we change positions.” His hands move up my thighs until he’s gripping my butt cheeks, and he brings my body forward until his mouth is positioned just a few inches from my pussy. “Hands

    Our lips are almost touching. “You made me a monster, Nila, because there’s nothing I wouldn’t do. You just have to ask.”My hands stop shaking, and my breathing slows down. Slowly, I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer until our lips finally meet.“Please don’t burn anything today, baby,” I whisper into his lips.I feel his smile and see the corners of his eyes crinkle. “I’ll think about it,” he whispers, kissing me.There’s a weight on my chest. Adrian is still holding himself up on his elbows, but his front is pressed against mine. For a moment, I panic, but then my brain focuses on his lips, and I relax. God, he’s an amazing kisser.“More, baby,” I mumble, and he puts more of his weight on me.“Is this good?”Not just good. Perfect. And now the hardest part. “Hand on my neck, Adrian.”“Nila.”“Please.”His right hand slowly moves over my chest, then higher, until it’s on my neck. I hold my breath. My hands stay still on his shoulders, and I close my eyes.“It’s just m

    Nila thinks for a moment, then nods. "He deserved it," she says and snuggles back on my chest. "Just don’t kill anyone else because of me."I listen until her breathing becomes slow and steady. When I know she’s asleep, I take her hand, kiss her fingers, and whisper, "I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt you. But I’ll make sure you never find out."Three months later“You’re not coming with me to buy the wedding dress, Adrian.” I stare at him across the kitchen, standing with my hands on my hips. “I will wait outside the changing room. I won’t look, but I’ll be there.” “No,” I say. “Yes.” “This is silly.” “There’s nothing silly about me worrying for your safety. I can’t forget the day when the man Leonid hired tried to hurt you. You have no idea what it felt like not knowing if you were alive or hurt. I never want to go through that again.” He walks up to me, picks me up by the waist, and sits me on the counter. It’s my favorite place. “Show off.” I reach out and squeeze hi

    ADRIAN'S POV He doesn't say anything for a little while, just staring at me with his fingers holding the back of my head."Marry me," he says, "and I will stop the war."Nila’s eyes get wide when she hears me. She’s probably wondering if I’m serious, and I am. I will do whatever it takes to bring her back."You’re forcing me to marry you. Again."It's not really a question, but I answer anyway. "Yes, I am."Her eyes keep looking into mine. They’re red and full of tears. She probably doesn’t even notice she’s still crying. I want to wipe the tears away, and I tell myself that this will be the last time she cries because of me.I need her to say yes. I can't stand the thought of spending another night without her next to me. She took my heart when she left, and if she says no, she can keep it. I can’t love anyone else."Jesus, Adrian," she sighs and puts her hands over her eyes.I look at her hands, which have black paint on them. Hope starts to grow in my chest. "You didn’t take the r

    “He was shot in his upper arm. He was lucky it just went through, nothing too serious. This time. Please, talk to him. If you don’t, he’ll end up getting himself killed, Nila. It’s only a matter of time.”“Oh, I will talk to him.” I stand up from the table and quickly grab my jacket and wallet, wiping away my tears with the sleeve of my shirt. “I’ll call a taxi for us.”“Igor can drive us. I think it’s her shift,” she says calmly.“He’s close by?”“You could say that. She’s right across the street.”I look up at her, then go to the window to check outside. As she said, there’s a plain car parked there. “He’s been spying on me?”“He’s just making sure you’re safe. They’ve been doing that for months.”“I’m going to kill him.”When we leave the building, I head straight across the street toward the car and knock on the window. Igor looks up quickly, then lowers the window.“Nila Di Salis?”I grit my teeth but don’t correct her, simply motioning to Katya, who is walking over.“We need a r

    Three Days LaterMy phone starts ringing on the nightstand, but I ignore it and put a pillow over my head. The ringing stops, only to start again a minute later. I groan, reach for the phone, and answer without looking to see who it is.“Did I wake you up, dear?”I sit up in bed, wide awake now. “Katya?”“I need to talk to you. Can I come over?”“Sure, I’ll send you the address.”“I’ll be there in an hour.”“Katya, what’s wrong? Is... is he okay?”“Yes. For now, at least. We’ll talk when I get there.”A bad feeling grows in my chest as I look at my phone. I know something’s wrong. I rush to the bathroom to shower and get changed. I’m picking up the brushes and crumpled sketches scattered around my living room when I hear the doorbell.“What has he done now?” I ask as soon as Katya walks in.“I like the hair, kukolka. Green looks good on you.” She kisses me and smiles, but it doesn’t reach her eyes. “Let’s sit down.”I lead her into the kitchen, pour two cups of coffee I made earlier,

    Three Weeks Later “Igor called,” I hear Sergio’s voice in my earpiece. “Two cars just passed them, and they’re coming toward you. Get out of there now.”I curse under my breath. “Nico is still inside,” I reply, checking my gun and looking at the back of the Italians’ warehouse.“They’ll be here in less than five minutes, Adrian.”“I’m not leaving him.”“I told you to bring more men! Damn it, Adrian, you never listen.”“There were supposed to be only two security guards. Maybe someone warned them. We’ll leave as soon as Nico’s out.”I turn to Anton, who’s sitting in the driver’s seat, and nod toward the back door on the far side of the warehouse, about fifty feet away. “The second you see Nico, go. We’re going to have company.”Two minutes later, I hear the cars coming from the right. Then, the back door of the warehouse opens, and Nico runs out.“Go!” I shout.Anton starts the car, speeding toward Nico. I roll down the window, aim at one of the cars coming from a side road, and start

    “This isn’t up for debate. I’m the only one who can make sure Nico behaves.”Sergio looks at me, his jaw tight. He takes off his glasses and points them at me angrily. “You can’t walk.”“I may not be able to walk, but besides Nico, I’m still the best shot in the Bratva.”“I won’t let you do this, Adrian. It’s suicide.”“Oh? So you want to give a mentally unstable guy a gun and explosives and send him out there with no supervision? Nico could destroy a whole block in under an hour.”“Then we won’t send Nico. You pulled him off field duty for a reason.”“This is a special situation. If supervised, Nico in the field is like having an army of one. I need either Mikhail or Nico for Saturday. And Mikhail isn’t going.”Sergio doesn’t say anything, just shakes his head and rubs his temples.“You’ve never seen Nico in action,” I say with a calm smile, leaning back in my chair. “It’s something to watch.

    The papers come back two days later. I stand by the door, rip open the envelope, and pull out the papers. I look at the line in the corner where Adrian’s name is written. Above it, on the dotted line where he should sign, there’s a big “No” written in red ink. I turn the page. The same big “No” is on this one. And on the next one. And the next one.“Damn you, Adrian.”I grab my phone and call my lawyer. “I need more copies of the divorce papers.”I send the papers again the same day. The next day, they come back, but instead of his signature, every bottom right corner is burned.When I get the envelope back again, there are no papers inside. It’s just a pile of white ashes.I want to scream and laugh, but I end up crying. The next morning, I decide I’ve had enough. I pick up my phone and call him. He answers right away.“Nila. I guess you got my answer.”Just hearing his voice makes me want to cry, but I try to stay calm and sound normal. “I need you to sign the divorce papers.”“No.”

Katya said Nila is leaving.""She is.""Should I stop her?"I think for a moment, then shake my head. "No. Send two men to follow her quietly. Have them call me when she gets to her destination.""Should they stay there or come back?""They’ll stay. I want two men watching her all the time. Set up the shifts. Make sure they stay out of sight.""Anything else?""That’s all for now."A few minutes later, Nila hurries down the steps and gets into the cab. She’s wearing jeans and her old hoodie, carrying a small suitcase. I watch her, waiting for her to turn around and come back inside. She doesn’t.
