All Chapters of DANGEROUS HUSBANDS, BROKEN WIFES: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

[DIMITRI]The drive to the Blue Lake Forest passes by with a pool of anxiousness rolling deep in my stomach.Sometimes it feels like I can’t breathe. But I do anyway. Because that’s the only way to make sure I do this right.Ivan Volkov might not be the easiest man to work for, but he’s the kindest I have ever met ever since my family was slaughtered and he was the only one who helped me get my revenge.The best thing about him was that he didn’t pity me. He knew what I needed was far more complicated than that. He understood me back then, and it’s time I do what he would have done if he was still able to.When the car comes to a halt on the side of the road, I look out the window and spot two men with guns drawn waiting for us. I recognize one of them. His name is Maxim. He’s the right-hand Lex aka Alexander. I step out and so does the man who drove me to this destination. Arkady came by the hotel to offer me a ride. He also works for Alexander, but I knew his suggestion wasn’t as si

[DIMITRI]By the time I enter our hotel room, I’m greeted with absolute silence.The first thing I do is check the time.Half past midnight. Of course, everyone already slept.I sigh, heading for the small bar in one of the many rooms in the suite and making myself a large drink. After the kind of day I have spent, I need alcohol to blur the shock and surprise that seems to be vibrating throughout my body.Usually, I’m good at keeping in my emotions, but there are times when I just can’t help it. It once happened after I returned from school, only to find my whole family slaughtered by some goons in our neighbourhood. I thought after experiencing something so gruesome I’ll be over it. Nothing would surprise me anymore.I was wrong. Dead wrong.After seeing Ivan and Ana in that condition, I don’t know what to think of anyone.If any of our enemies got even a hint of their conditions, they wouldn’t waste time and wage war against us. To get to the top, they would cut off each and every h

[DIMITRI]“All the preparations have been made,” Lex says and continues to smoke his cigar, the white smoke thick around his mouth. “Whenever you say, my men will drop Ivan and his wife to your plane, and I’ll be more than happy to see you all leave.”I hold back the painful urge to roll my eyes. “Sounds good,” I say and offer my hand to him. No matter how much he hates my presence is here and no matter how much I hate seeing his ugly face, I can’t forget what he had done for us. He saved Ivan and Ana, and for that, I’m ready to look past almost anything. “It was nice doing business with you. If the time comes and you need our help, just say the word and we’ll do it. No questions asked.”He probably knows that I mean it and nods curtly. Lex takes my hand and shakes it firmly, but without saying another word, he leaves the room.I take out my phone and call the hotel. “Connect me to room number 1421.”“Yes, sir.”I wait until someone picks up the phone. It’s Nadia. “Who is it?”“It’s me

[DIMITRI]The walk in the park quickly turns into a long and twisted run through the trees. Tatiana’s mood is instantly lifted at the sight of the snow, which is almost everywhere. She runs like a little maniac who doesn’t know what to do with herself. She screams, she squeals, and then she runs back to Nadia, tugging her along when none of the other kids give her any of the swings.But Nadia isn’t any better. She talks to a few parents to let their kids down, but they either ignore her or argue with her—one of them even turns their face away, quite literally, as if that would make her disappear altogether.For a long time, I sit on one of the nearest benches and watch, not wanting to get into the women’s business. After one hell of a stressful day and doing my best to keep the organization running, I don’t feel the need to be part of the useless bickering. I just want to sit, watch, keep an eye on them, and maybe, just maybe, enjoy the chilling breeze that feels like a brutal stab in

[NADIA]The drive to God-knows-where is long and excruciating. There’s no way we’ll make it back home before sunrise. But of course, that doesn’t bother Dimitri in the least. He simply keeps his eyes focused on the road, driving with the kind of speed that makes me want to throw up.And no, I’m NOT exaggerating this. The asshole is actually driving like a fucking maniac on fire.“Will you fucking slow down?” I’m barely hanging on to the edge of my seat as he takes yet another curve on two wheels.He doesn’t answer, and that just pisses me off even more.I glare at him. Even under the darkness of night, he manages to look like a badass movie star with his stupid windswept hair and his hands gripping the wheel like some kind of male model pretending to be an action hero.Ugh. Fuck Dimitri, seriously.“Almost there,” he announces so breezily, my eyes almost pop out.I can’t help but ask, “Are you even human?”“Unfortunately, yes.”I look outside, the rushing scenery making my head spin.
