Rage

Nicolai paced the study, his fingers drumming on the table in front of him. The conversation with Sergei had been brief and to the point. Petr had been found, but no sign of Dmitri. Nicolai knew his brother's MO too well, and Petr's brutal murder only confirmed his involvement. He ran a hand across his face, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle on his shoulders. He'd been unable to focus on the financials Sergei needed him to review, his thoughts constantly drifting to Alessia. He was thankful that at least he knew she was safe under his roof. The door burst open with a bang, and Nicolai's head snapped up. His eyes widened in shock at the sight of the man standing in the doorway. He was drenched in blood, his usually crisp suit in tatters, and a deep gash ran along his forehead, marring his face with a bright red scar. Nicolai recognized him as one of his most seasoned guards, but he couldn't recall his name. "What in

Bait

Alessia's heart pounded in her chest as the boat sped into the night, the cold wind whipping her hair across her face. She kept her eyes forward, refusing to show any fear in front of Dmitri and his henchman. She seethed with anger, both at her captors and the situation. She'd been so stupid! Nicolai had told her to stay in the house or take one of the guards with her, but she'd felt safe with all his men around the property. Obviously, she'd underestimated the danger that his brother posed.And that fueled her anger even more. How could they do this to Nicolai? He had done nothing but be born and been successful and according to what he'd told her, he'd spent years idolizing his older half-brother. A shiver ran up her spine at

Alone

Banging came on the thick wooden door and she flinched. Dmitri nodded and one of his men opened the lock. A gust of cold air blew in, briefly interrupting the intense atmosphere as two men entered, their faces grim."What's her status?" Dmitri demanded, his eyes never leaving Alessia."Safe and sound, sir," one of the men replied, his voice strained."Good. Keep it that way. I want her unharmed...for now."

A Grim Fate

The floorboards creaked below her, and she held her breath, frozen in place. Footsteps approached, and she backed away from the window, her heart pounding. The doorknob turned, and she braced herself as the door opened.Dmitri strolled in, a sinister smile playing on his lips, and her stomach dropped. He carried a tray with a few meager dishes of food and set it down on a small table near the window."Eat," he said, gesturing to the food. "You must keep your strength up. We have a long journey ahead of us."

Helicopter Ride

The cabin was silent save for the thumping of her heart and her ragged breathing. Alessia's eyes darted around the room, taking in every detail that might help her escape. The window, of course, was out of reach, and the door was locked tight. Her eyes fell on the bed she was secured to and a glimmer of hope ignited. The frame was old and the welds holding the iron bars in place looked rusty.She tested the bonds securing her wrists, but they held fast, immovable. Still, there was a slight give when she pulled against them. Perhaps they hadn't been as careful as they should have been in securing her. She pulled and strained against the restraints, feeling the cool metal dig into her skin. A jolt of pain shot up her arms, and she hisse

The side door opened,

For Sale

Alessia's heart sank as Dmitri led her toward a large cage in the corner of the room. The cage was enclosed by thick metal bars and occupied by a group of women huddled together. Their eyes widened as she approached, a mix of fear and desperation clouding their gazes.She was pushed into the cage, the impact sending a jolt through her body. The women shuffled aside, making room for her, and she stumbled into their midst, her eyes scanning the surroundings. The cage was large enough to accommodate them all, but the space was cramped and stifling. A sickening feeling settled in her stomach as she realized these women must have been brought here against their will, just like her.Outside the cage, Dmitri's men continued their grim preparations. Alessia's eyes welled with tears when she recognized some of Nicolai's guards among them, their faces beaten and bruised. She couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Nicolai, if he was even alive. The cage was lit by a single bulb, its hars

Escape

She strained against the businessman's grip, hoping to attract Sergei's attention. "Let me go! Do you know who I am? Nicolai will have your head if he catches you.The businessman tightened his grip, pulling her away from the cage by the rope that bound her hands in front of her and toward the shadows. "Tais-toi, you foolish girl. Do you think anyone here cares if you scream?"She struggled anew knowing at least one person did. Her eyes locked on Sergei for a brief moment. The figure hesitated, his eyes flicking between her and the men around them. Then, with a subtle nod, he disappeared into the night.

Reunited

The night was cold and unforgiving, but Alessia barely felt the chill as she stood on the porch, her heart pounding in her chest. The door to the cabin creaked open, revealing an elderly woman with a face etched with lines of hardship and wisdom. Her eyes, a piercing blue, studied Alessia with a mix of caution and concern."Please," Alessia begged, her voice trembling with desperation. "I need your help. They're trying to kill me."The woman's expression softened, and she stepped aside, gesturing for Alessia to enter. "Come in, child," she said, her voice thick with a Russian accent. "You are safe here."Alessia stepped into the warmth of the cabin, her eyes darting around the cozy interior. A fire crackled in the hearth, casting a warm glow over the simple furnishings. The scent of fresh bread and herbal tea filled the air, a comforting contrast to the horror she had just escaped.The elderly woman closed the door and turned to face Alessia, her eyes filled with a mix of sympathy and

Home

Alessia pulled back from his embrace, dabbing at the tears on her cheeks with the sleeves of the too big coat Sergei had provided her. Nicolai's eyes were dark with a mix of determination and an emotion that reminded her of fear. The thought of what Dmitri might be doing twisted her stomach into knots, the horrors he was capable of inflicting on anyone who crossed his path."Thank you, Galina," Nicolai said, breaking the silence. "Your help will not be forgotten." He paused, his eyes flicking to Alessia before returning to the older woman. "But we must take Alessia somewhere safe, away from all this. I cannot involve you any further. It would draw too much attention to your home and put you at risk."Galina sighed, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and acceptance. "I do not fear these podonok but I understand. I have already forgotten you were here. Go, and may God watch over you both."Alessia's heart constricted at the kindness in the woman's eyes, the willingness to help strang
