The Russian Mafia’s Queen CHAPTER 12
Nicholas drove in silence, his jaw tight, mind racing a mile a minute.Clark’s voice soon came through his earpiece, breaking the stillness. “Boss, this guy is smart — real smart. He covered his tracks like a damn ghost. No cameras, no witnesses, nothing. It’s like he vanished into thin air.”Nicholas’s grip on the steering wheel tightened.“People like him don’t vanish,” Nicholas said coldly. “They hide. And every man who hides leaves a trail… no matter how small.”Clark hesitated. “You think he had this planned all along?”Nicholas’s eyes darkened.“He’s been planning this since the day I killed his brother.”And that’s what bothered Nicholas the most — Alex Grey’s brother wasn’t reacting emotionally. No reckless attacks. No stupid mistakes. Everything he did was calculated. Controlled. Patient.That made him dangerous.Nicholas pulled up outside one of his safe houses — an underground base nobody outside his inner circle knew about. If this was going to turn into a long game, he ne

Chloe’s POV — The Next DayThe next day felt unusually long.And despite telling myself that everything was probably fine… seeing Nicholas walk through the café door with his men instantly shattered any false sense of peace I had built overnight.My relief vanished.My heart sank.There he was — effortlessly intimidating, dressed in black, surrounded by his usual gang of dangerous-looking men. But it wasn’t just their presence that unsettled me…it was the way Nicholas’s dark eyes immediately found mine.Locked. Unblinking. Watching.Swallowing down my nerves, I forced myself to walk over to their table. Professional. Calm. Unbothered.Even though every step I took towards them felt like walking into the lion’s den.“What can I get you all?” I managed, my voice steady — barely.They ordered like they always did, casual and relaxed like they didn’t have blood on their hands or danger trailing behind them like shadows. But Nicholas… he didn’t say a word.He just stared.His gaze burned i

Chloe’s POVThe soft chime of the doorbell breaks the quiet atmosphere of the café. I glance up to see a man stepping inside. He’s tall, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, exuding an air of confidence that immediately catches my attention. His eyes scan the room with sharp precision, and when they land on me, it feels like he’s studying me—like he knows something about me that I don’t even know yet.I swallow the sudden lump in my throat. Something about him feels… dangerous.He doesn’t approach the counter, though. Instead, he walks past me, his gaze lingering for a moment longer than necessary, and heads straight to an empty table near the window. There’s no mistaking the calm authority in his movements, the kind that makes you realize he’s used to being in control.I glance over at Nicholas, who’s sitting in his usual spot. His eyes narrow when he notices the man, and the tension between them is palpable. Nicholas doesn’t move, doesn’t say anything, but I can tell he’s aware of

Meanwhile, Isaac drives to meet the private investigator at the warehouse.The engine of Isaac’s car hums steadily as he weaves through the streets, the weight of the information he’s about to receive pressing heavily on his chest. The investigator had contacted him with crucial details—details that could change everything. He doesn’t know exactly what he’s about to hear, but he knows it’s tied to Chloe. The very same woman he knows is involved with Nicholas in a way no one truly understands.As Isaac nears the warehouse, his thoughts are clouded with anticipation and anger. He tightens his grip on the steering wheel, the urgency of the situation gnawing at him. This could be the breakthrough they’ve been waiting for—the key to everything they’ve been chasing.He parks in front of the warehouse, a dilapidated building on the edge of town that always looks deserted. No one notices anyone who comes or goes. Perfect.Isaac steps out of the car and heads toward the entrance, the crunch of

The warehouse felt like a maze, each turn offering nothing but shadows and the scent of rust and decay. Nicholas’s heart pounded in his chest, the rhythm of his footsteps echoing in the silence. Every instinct screamed at him to turn back, but he couldn’t. Not without Isaac.He followed the blood trail, each step heavier than the last. The deeper he went into the labyrinthine space, the more unsettling it became. The warehouse seemed endless, as though it had been abandoned for years.Finally, at the farthest point of the building, he found it. A small room, its door hanging off its hinges. Nicholas’s breath hitched as he stepped closer, his hand hovering over the door handle. The blood trail stopped here.He pushed the door open, and the sight that greeted him nearly took the air from his lungs.Isaac’s body lay sprawled on the cold concrete floor, motionless. Blood pooled around him, staining the floor in dark, sinister splotches. Nicholas’s eyes widened, a guttural sound of disbeli

Chloe’s POVThe warm scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, the steady hum of the espresso machine a constant comfort in the otherwise quiet Chapters & Coffee. Chloe wiped down the counter for what felt like the hundredth time, her mind wandering as she looked out the window. The rain had started pouring heavily, a dark blanket settling over the city. She liked it when it rained—there was something soothing about it, like the world slowed down just a bit.But today, she couldn’t shake the unease that had been gnawing at her all afternoon. It was as if something, or someone, was watching her. Every time the door opened, her heart would skip a beat, her head snapping toward it, only to find that it was another regular customer or passerby seeking shelter from the downpour. But the feeling lingered, a constant pressure on her chest.She forced herself to focus, arranging the pastries neatly in the display case. The gentle chime of the doorbell interrupted her thoughts, and she gl

Adrian’s POVThe night was thick with the sounds of distant thunder, but Adrian didn’t hear the storm as he sat in his office, watching the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows. His mind was alive with the knowledge that his plan was unfolding perfectly. Nicholas was vulnerable—he had lost Isaac, and with him, a piece of his strength. The game had changed, and now, Adrian had the upper hand.But there was more to it than just revenge. He wasn’t simply trying to destroy Nicholas for the sake of it. There was a deeper motive, one that drove every decision he made, one that fueled his every move. He hadn’t forgotten about his brother Alex, the one Nicholas had killed. Adrian had never let that betrayal go, and the death of Isaac was only part of the payback he had been building towards for years. But he wanted more. He wanted Nicholas to feel the full weight of the loss, to understand what it was like to lose everything—just as he had.The connec

Chloe’s POVThe quiet hum of her apartment felt suffocating, a stark contrast to the chaos she had just left behind at the coffee shop. Chloe sat on her couch, her legs tucked beneath her, staring at the window as the rain continued its relentless assault on the city. She couldn’t shake the unease that had settled over her, like a dark cloud that refused to dissipate, no matter how hard she tried to shake it off.The news of Isaac’s death weighed heavily on her, pulling her into a spiral of guilt and confusion. She knew Isaac. He had been one of those familiar faces at the coffee shop, always smiling, always ready to crack a joke. He had been nothing but kind to her, even if their interactions were brief and casual. It didn’t make sense. He was a good guy, a guy who didn’t deserve to be taken like that.She rubbed her face with her hands, her thoughts a blur. How could this happen? Why him? And why had Nicholas come to her, looking so lost, so broken? His

The door chimed as Chloe stepped out of the café into the crisp morning air, Adrian close behind her like a shadow she couldn’t shake. Everything outside looked the same—cars passing, a cyclist ringing his bell, the faint buzz of city life—but to Chloe, everything felt wrong. It was like walking into a dream she couldn’t wake up from.Her legs felt heavy, trembling with each step. Adrian didn’t touch her, but his presence loomed beside her like a loaded gun cocked and ready. He nodded toward a sleek black car parked just a few feet down the street.“Keep walking,” he said, tone light like they were discussing weather.She didn’t want to. Every part of her body screamed to run, to fight, to cry for help. But her mind flashed to the strangers in her café. The couple by the window. The man who smiled as she handed him his croissant. Adrian wasn’t bluffing. He would kill them without hesitation.Her steps carried her to the car, her breath shallow as he reached past her to open the back d

Isaac’s FuneralThe clouds hung low like a mourning veil, thick and unmoving. Rain hadn’t fallen yet, but the air was wet with grief and the promise of a storm. The cemetery was quiet, the usual noise of life muted by the weight of death. Only the wind moved, slipping through the trees, curling around the gravestones, whispering sorrow.Nicholas stood in front of the casket, hands in his pockets, jaw locked so tightly it ached. His black coat fluttered slightly in the wind, but he didn’t move. He hadn’t spoken a word since he arrived.The priest droned on, voice trembling through prayers and hollow reassurances. Nicholas didn’t hear a single word. His eyes were fixed on the polished mahogany casket before him—Isaac’s final bed.His little brother.Gone.He had imagined many things—arguments, bruises, laughter, Isaac storming out and coming back with that smug grin—but never this. Never a grave. Never silence.The priest said, “May he rest in peace,” and stepped back.Nicholas stepped
