All Chapters of Twisting Fate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Aleksei started to pace like I was and he seemed to be doing it more for his sake than the baby’s. I did watch him out of the corner of my eye just in case he needed to be saved. It was hard not chuckle as probably the two most unqualified people now had two babies lives in their hands.After a while, the one in my arms woke up but they were content just sitting on my chest as I laid back on the couch. Aleksei had sleepy head who slept through another phone call and him slamming his phone down on the kitchen counter. The door opened and Marek walked in with Lec. The two of them froze, looking at us and I gave a quick wave.“Who in gods name thought it was a good idea for Aleksei to hold a baby?” Marek pulled off his jacket while Lec brought in the four or five bags of supplies they bought.“He’s been doing really good. Sleepy head has been very comfy. This one wants to explore but I haven’t been able to grab a blanket or anyth

Pulling up to the casino entrance, I lifted the door before the valet could get to me. I was ready with my purse and I shoved the keys in his hands. He stepped aside as I walked around the car. Looking up, I could see the multiple cameras facing the entrance. I guessed I would be able to get maybe seven steps into the main lobby before the manager got in my way.The doors slid open and I strode into the main area. Wizard had texted me as I pulled up at that Lev was currently at the poker tables, completely drunk, as he threw money away like there was an infinite amount of it.They were behind as I made it fifteen steps before I caught the manager rushing over to me with two associates and one security officer. He was rubbing his hands together as he got to me, stopping my side.“Miss…Miss Bernardi…we didn’t realize you would be gracing us with your presence.”“No. That would defeat the purpose of me being here, now wo

The explosion threw me back, my head hitting the pavement but I scrambled to roll over and stand. Not caring anymore if the assholes in the trucks saw me, I raced over to the burning car. Flames were shooting up into the air and the heat alone started to burn my clothes. Aleksei was so close though and I wasn’t about to lose him.I was hesitating though. I hated that I was. The fire burned and the smell of smoke overpowered everything. My fear flaring to life. Being anywhere near a fire, being trapped in a fire, that was my ultimate fear. My burn on my shoulder itching. Screaming in frustration, I pulled out the gun from behind my back. Flicking off the safety, I put the barrel in forearm. Pulling the trigger, a shot ran out and I screamed against the pain.It woke me up. Suddenly, it was all I could feel. Throwing the gun, I raced forward into the flames. The door was already open and I felt my skin start to char. Reaching down, I saw Aleksei’s body laying

We were sitting on the couch together in the quiet of the penthouse. I had one of the Russian books in my lap with my legs over Marek’s lap. His hand rested on my ankle and the other held up one of the books I recently finished. I was surprised when he picked up the young adult fantasy book but considering he flipped to somewhere close to the middle, he’d been reading it without me knowing. Considering it was a pretty fluffy story, it was hard to keep from smirking when I looked up at him.Once we got further into the city, we dumped the car and walked a few blocks to Aleksei’s favorite pizza place. He frequented it so often that his order became a menu item named after him. We order one of those, the owner giving us a knowing look. On top of that, we ordered a normal pizza in case neither of us could stomach more than a piece.Taking them home, the remnants of our late lunch was littering the coffee table. Marek had also broken out the alcohol and I was nursing some of the drink that

“What happened with Vor and your sister?”We woke up in the morning and decided today we weren’t going to do anything important. I had made some breakfast sandwiches that we ate on the patio outside. Marek was shirtless and wearing sweats, whereas I had some shorts and one of his shirts on, making the shorts disappear under them. After breakfast, we went back inside and lounged on the couch.I’d decided to pull out my sketchbook while he had his tablet in laptop mode. He said it was more busy-work than anything pressing. I ended up sketching him a few times as he worked. This latest one I decided to add creatures to him. A little dragon looking over his shoulder at the screen, a little fluffy flying sheep in his lap between the keyboard and him, and a few floating soot monsters above him. I was deciding what to put hanging off his tablet screen when I finally broke our silence.“That they needed to leave if they were going to disrespect me.”My eyes widened. “You didn’t tell that Juri,
