IRINAThey say true love will find its way back. I wasn't entirely convinced by this statement. Ever since I became convinced that Miron had destroyed everything in my life, I really didn't want to be trapped in the trap of love with a weapon."Repeat what you just said," Miron's voice was still the same, demanding, firm.Unconsciously, I felt like I was still under his control. It was as if something instinctive within me was awakening. Even so, I did my best to control myself.If anything had changed, it was Miron's appearance. He seemed thinner, I think. He'd let his beard and mustache grow out, but he hadn't trimmed them. I don't even remember what his haircut was like now."You heard me perfectly well, Miron.""I said, repeat what you just said, Irina!""Aria, the daughter you tried to get rid of, the one you thought was illegitimate, she was your daughter! Your daughter, your biological daughter!" I emphasized every word, sentence, and everything I shouldn't have said.I'd pushe

MIRON“Enough of your grief, Miron! It's been four years!” Tanya pulled me out of the club.Today, I wasn't drunk. However, I missed two important meetings, and I felt like I didn't care anymore. For four years, I had completely lost my way.A man of principle like me, a respected Pakhan, a mentality accustomed to violence. Suddenly, I felt so weak. I tried, and always tried, to maintain my position, but the years seemed increasingly difficult.Ever since my wife left me, and Irina disappeared from me, my world felt upside down. I know this sounds ridiculous. But losing half your soul, or rather, your entire sanity, is a difficult thing to handle.“I told you,” I pushed Tanya's hand away, “Stay out of my business!”“Since Papa asked me to monitor you personally, of course you know I have the right and responsibility for your behavior!”"I'm not drunk! I just want to calm down a bit," I said, about to go back inside. Tanya stopped me, dragging me away from the elite club.She gasped, s

IRINA“What the hell are you doing?” I snapped at Horton. I felt like I’d had enough of all the violence I’d witnessed in my life. Can’t these people resolve things in the most reasonable way?“Who is this bitch?” Horton cast his condescending gaze at me, scanning me from head to toe. Then slowly, his gaze changed. His lips curled into a smile, as if there was a hidden meaning there.The meaning was that he was going to ravish me, devour me lustfully, and if necessary, he would shackle me with all his disgusting desires.“Well, well, looks like I have a new toy,” Horton said.Ariel immediately stood in front of me, shielding me. “Sir, I’m going to replace your drink. Please enjoy yours, or if you’re in the mood, you can leave,” Ariel said firmly.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Ariel whispered, protesting, her face tense.“How could I let him hurt you?” I glanced at Horton’s grip on Ariel’s hand.“I told you not to interfere.”“I just—”“Didn’t you think about your daughter

IRINAI made a major decision in my life, just as Maria had said. The only area not controlled by the mafia was Oregon, as the suburbs here weren't their business destinations.It was a big decision. I left home, taking only my remaining savings with me. No one knew I was leaving, because I had carefully considered my steps. There was no reason for me to stay there.My grandmother had passed away, and all that was left was my body and my baby's. I fought my way through, and four years passed. Starting a new life wasn't easy. I had truly gone through the hardest four years of my life."Oh my gosh, Aria!" I rushed over, running to the apple tree, taking off my gloves. My heart nearly exploded, watching my three-year-old daughter climb the tree."Mommy, Mommy, look," her voice was low, her tiny hand pointing at a butterfly on the tip of a branch."Aria? What did Mommy say about not being a bad girl?" I pinched the tip of her nose.I once saw Aria fall when I was too distracted gardening.

MIRONWhy did I avoid Irina?There was a reason!Everything I do, has a reason that I think suits my plot.When my mother and the others came to protest, I knew they wanted the same reaction from me. Like, I immediately decided to divorce my wife. But, I'm not that type.They know how I act, how I behave. And yet, they still dared to test me. Daria and Tanya hid behind my mother's back, thinking I couldn't make many decisions when it came to my mother.But this time, they were wrong!I sent Irina back to her room, and for a few hours, I listened to my mother's complaints. Daria's complaints. I also assessed how Tanya was behaving. After they went home, I wanted to go back to Irina's room, but something was different.I felt like I was afraid Irina would feel too depressed. I was worried she wouldn't find comfort anymore. After she heard her fertility test showed she was infertile. It seemed too sudden.So, I took the step I felt was right. I felt like I had to be quiet for a moment, t

IRINAIt took me two days to convince myself, after getting Gia's phone number, and for those two days I tried to act normal. Like, completely normal in front of Miron, Ella, even Cessy. They just thought I was still grieving, because I was quiet, unenthusiastic, and didn't have much of an appetite."What do you want to do today?" Ella asked, after several days of not asking me what I wanted, no longer monitoring my activities."I want to go out," I said calmly, still in my usual tone. "Without anyone watching.""You know you can't keep going like this, right, Mrs.?""Ella, do you think I have a purpose now? My in-laws say I'm infertile. My grandmother's dead. I lost my job. What else do you want? Me to die?"Ella's eyes widened, not accepting that I had said that part, as if it wasn't the right thing to say, as if I didn't deserve to say it."Stop saying negative things, it's not good for you.""Then let me do whatever I want from now on, do we have a deal?" I'm sure Ella sensed a ch
