Chapter 41DmitriLeaving a beautiful woman, who I was having a great conversation with to be in the office at this time of the morning just to attend to an uncle that I never saw eye to eye with had never felt so annoying.A few weeks back, I'd do anything to be away from the house, away from her, but these days things were different. I desired and wanted to be with her most of the time."Why are you here?" I questioned in the coldest and most irritated tone ever.He leaned on the backrest of the chair, his big stomach bulging forward. "To know how you're doing," He replied flatly and pulled out a cigarette from the wooden holder on my desk.Courteously, I passed a lighter to him and rubbed my forehead. "And you expect me to buy that bullshit?" I scoffed.He dragged in a smoke and puffed it out while I clenched my fist impatiently. My uncle, Petrov was one of the people who fought against my ascension to the post of Capo.He'd always thought that his son would take the position becau

Chapter 43ArielI flailed my legs into the air violently after I crashed on the bed, angry at myself for allowing these strange feelings to flood me—the ones that made me extremely jealous and possessive of Dmitri.The door was opened slightly and he poked his head in. I'd never seen him this laid-back and remorseful. A few months ago, he used to be extremely cocky and rude, but the sullen expression on his face showed that he had a lot of things to say to me."Can I come in?" He questioned softly.Quickly, I sat up, folding my legs and resting on my knees. "You don't have to ask. This is our room," I reminded him.He strolled in, his shoulders slightly slouched and he leaned against the wall with one of his hands tucked into his pocket."Forget about everything she said, they aren't true," He urged me.I did a little eye roll and sighed, like forgetting all about how he made her fall in love with him was that easy. And now he was doing the same thing with me.He was making me play

Chapter 45Dmitri"You can still change your mind now that there's still time. Marriage isn't a joke, Vlad," My heart constricted at the thought of the loveless marriage he was about to put himself into.I didn't have a problem doing it because I'd fallen in love before, but the responsibility of keeping the Bratva afloat depended on me, not him.He folded his arms and shook his head. "There's no need to beat around the bush, brother. This is what I want to do for us. Lately, I've been feeling somewhat inefficient as consigliere, chasing women around and living life to the fullest while abandoning my duties and making things hard for you, so allow me to do this,""No, no, don't look down on yourself. You've been a great source of help to me and I don't know what I'd have done if you weren't by my side when Anya died, but take a look at me, I'm doing better now. And if you're helping me out just because I'm yet to get a good supplier then I'm telling you right now as your Capo that you

Chapter 47ArielMy heart ached and the world seemed to slow down around us as I helped Guilia pack her bags.The memory of how excited I was when she arrived here in Seattle and how we promised to have so much fun was still fresh in my mind so it was sad that she had to leave hurriedly like this.I was more bittered by the fact that this was my doing, but if it involved helping her, I'd do it over and over again."I'm sorry, Guilia," Another apology swept through my lips for the umpteenth time.She nodded slowly and shrugged. "I won't admit that I don't feel disappointed by what you did but I'm still grateful that you're doing what I can't do for myself. It's apparent that Vladimir will continue to hurt me if I don't stay away, but I can't help it," She confessed; her shoulders drooped in resignation. "Will you see him tonight before you leave?" I asked gently. She bit her lower lip and rested her head against the window pane, her gaze trained on the bright clouds that hovered over

Chapter 49ArielWe exchanged surprised glances and immediately I began to search for a dress I could wear while Dmitri buttoned his pants and quickly put on a vest. "Liora? Is it really you?"The surprise on my face wore off and my eyes became misty. If she was really the one, I didn't know what I'd do with myself. Since I couldn't wait to find out, I dashed to the door with Dmitri trailing behind me. My fingers trembled as soon as it touched the doorknob and Dmitri noticing my fear, placed his hand on mine and twisted the knob, opening the door. Liora peered up at us with uncertainty blaring on her face. "Mummy," She called this time and my heart swelled to the point of exploding. I scooted, unsure of what I heard. When did this miracle happen? "Liora, are you alright? You're calling me mummy," I croaked, my emotions choking my throat. It took a lot for an emotional person like me not to burst into tears. She nodded slowly and cupped my face. "I did because you're my mummy,"
