Chapter: Girls FightingSonya followed after me and grabbed my hand to stop me from walking away any further. “Where are you going?” She asked. “After what happened, I am worried about what you will encounter out there.” “I can’t be here right now,” I said. “She is edging me out. Kira is not my friend. She didnt even come to visit me at the hospital when she knew very well that I had been attacked. I thought we were best friends but I guess I was wrong.”She grabbed my hand and put it in hers. “She’s being brainwashed by Mikhail–”“Mika is being brainwashed himself. I know him personally and I know he is not a manipulative person. He is not capable of turning people against one another. You know better than anyone that he is not capable of doing something like this. She is very clear headed and she knows what she’s doing.”Sonya and I shared a look, and she realized that I was being serious. I never wanted to see Kira ever again. She had disappointed me as a friend and as a person.I thought she was bette

Chapter: Edge offMaxim came to me after he showed and washed all the blood off. I wasn’t scared of him for what I had seen but I didn’t want to ever see him in that state again. I knew it came with the territory but I was still grossed out. “I’m sorry for coming into the house like that. I will shower the next time I–”“Torture someone in our backyard?” I asked. It wasn’t snappy but I was starting to remember what kind of life I signed up for and why I didn’t want to be a part of it since I was in Italy.It was full of blood and bloodshed and even though I had taken a life, I wasn’t too thrilled to know someone had passed away at the hands of the man I loved the most. I still had to come to terms with everything. At the moment, the house felt suffocated and I needed to get out of there. I wasn't fully healed but I was okay to walk and act like I was. I had already texted my friends and they said they wanted to see me. “Should I get rid of the torture room in the backyard?” He asked as he tried to g

Chapter: An Unexpected Guest“Someone paid us to act like nothing was happening!” One of them yelled.Nikita and I shared a look. I wasn’t even shocked. I was, however, disappointed that the men I entrusted my wife to had the guts to take bribes from someone they didn’t know. They knew she was the most important person in my life.Why would they risk their pathetic little lives like that?“That’s not an answer. I want a more elaborate one.”The other two glared at him as if to tell him to shut up like that would save them. I snapped my fingers at him when he started to hesitate.“You think I would have spared you even if I didn’t suspect you were involved? You put my wife’s life at risk and that’s all that matters. Speak!”“A man came up to us. He told us a robbery was going to take place at the same place madam was shopping and they gave us a hundred thousand each to act like the robbery wasn’t taking place. They promised us no one would get hurt!”I pistol-whipped him once to show him I couldn’t care less about

Chapter: The Bottom of ItI was buzzing with anger but I tried my best to make sure Livia never knew it was happening. Seeing her injured face and body broke something inside me. A part of me cracked when I thought of someone beating her black and blue.I wasn’t there to protect her or to help her, and that was the worst feeling in the fucking universe. I was too busy being skeptical of her and refusing to spend time with her. Look at where it had gotten us.Somewhere along the way, I had gotten so used to hiding my feelings that I didn’t know how to show them anymore and it made Livia feel like I didn’t care about her or I could care less about what had happened to her.That couldn’t have been further from the truth. I cared so much that I didn’t trust that I was going to be able to stop myself from torturing whoever it was that had damaged her that much.Unluckily for me, the men that had beaten her had carried a jammer and all the security tapes ceased working as soon as the men were in the building. Nobody

Chapter: He's From HellIt took a few days to recover and in those days, I ignored Maxim. He wasn’t even talking to me as frequently as before. I knew he had a lot on his mind but I didn’t have the energy to try and fix anything between us. “The doctor said you need rest. I’ll stay with you but I need to also hire someone to stay with you so they can be at your beck and call.” He said. “You don’t have to do this because you feel sorry for me. I wouldn’t hold it against you if you do decide to leave to attend to business.” I said to him.He sighed, and I could tell I was making him mad and he was exhausted with me. I couldn’t explain how terrible it felt. I felt bad for seemingly frustrating him but at the same time, I was angry with him.A part of me wanted him to reassure me and tell me it was no problem that he had to take care of me. The bruises on my face were turning black and my ribs were healing since they had been broken. Not to mention my injured leg. I didn’t know whether I was overreacting or n

Chapter: Awake I didn’t realize that I had passed out from the beating my brother and his goons had given me until I woke up in the hospital. Fabio was standing in a corner smirking like had won the lottery and there were flowers at my bedside. My ribs hurt, and so did every other part of my body. It was so bad that I thought I would pass out from the pain. I had never felt more miserable. The smell of the hospital was nauseating but I had no choice but to endure it.Maxim came rushing in, and his eyes softened when he saw me. I looked away immediately, blinking back tears. I didn’t want to look at him. Not when he looked at me out of pity. He had been so cold to me and was only sympathetic because I was injured. That wasn’t the kind of affection I wanted or needed. I wanted nothing more than to have Fabio leave my hospital room but unluckily for me, that was impossible.He was using methods to make sure I stuck by his side and kept him around. A part of me wished that Maxim would recognize him, b

" You wish it was you screaming my name, don't you? " He asked while locking me in place with his gaze.
“ I don’t know what you're talking about.” I defended.
I clutched the wall behind me as he moved closer with his hand on the door above my head. Our bodies were inches apart and it was getting harder to concentrate because of his bare chest that was muscular and covered with ink.
" Tell me principessa, do you think of me when you trail your fingers down your stomach and between your thighs? Do you think of me as you work yourself trying to reach the brick of euphoria? Do you imagine it's my fingers as you work faster to ease the ache between your thighs? Do you scream my name as your walls clench around your digits and your eyes roll to the back of your head when you ? "
" you! " I screamed, ignoring the loud thumping of my heart against my chest.
" You see, I know girls like you. You've been sheltered all your life and you crave some rebellion. Tattoos, muscular, bad boy, and an Italian accent are your undoing, right? That's all it takes to have you drooling and fawning. I'm I right, principessa? "
“ You know nothing about me! " I screamed and he chuckled.
“ Oh, but I do. I can smell your arousal begging me to pin you to this wall and show just how much I can make your weep for me. " He whispered in my ear.
She's fire and he's ice. Sicily holds many secrets but is Brianna ready for the ones Nikolai has to offer? A life of crime, gunfire, and passion is not what she signed up for. Can she handle the enigma that is Nikolai?

Chapter: The endMy eyes felt heavy but my ears were alert. I heard the beeping of machines and the voice of a woman speaking. Was I finally in heaven? I knew if that shit was real, I was going to hell for all the horrible things I had done.“Is he going to be, okay? “ I heard an angelic voice ask. It sounded awfully familiar like I should have known who it belonged to but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Why did it sound so sweet and inviting?“He will be. He should wake up any day now. “ A male voice replied.For some reason, I wanted to hit the male and tell him to stay away from my angel even though I couldn’t see how close they were.“You said that last week, “ the angel said with a sigh. There was sadness in her voice and it broke my heart. I had to open my eyes to look at her.When my eyes finally cooperated, there were white walls everywhere and two people in a corner. One of them was wearing a blue dress and her copper hair was in a messy bun.That was the moment we made eye contact and sh

Chapter: Saving him“We will attack from this point right here and then Luca and the other men will go from the back. Make sure all your coms are working when we get there. If you encounter something, you tell us. “ I instructed.Esposito and Romano were standing on either side of me looking at the map I had. Thanks to a tip, we had a possible location for where they were keeping Nikolai and I was determined to find him.“So-““Why is nobody looking for Lorenzo? “ Viv asked from the door. I turned to face her with a hard glare on my face as I crossed my arms against my chest.“You’re not allowed in here, Viv. Why are you here?” I asked even though I had heard her previous statement.She scoffed and came deeper into the room, making me fold the map and hand it to Luca. With a nod of my head, he understood what I was saying and he left.“I asked where Lorenzo is. Last I heard from him, you sent him on a mission and he never came back. That was three days ago. Why aren’t you looking for him?” Viv asked.I d

Chapter: A plan...Anabelle lowered the gun and placed it in the back of her jeans without taking her eyes off me. She proceeded to take my gun from the ground and unloaded it. She placed the bullets in her pocket and then tossed me the gun without any bullets.“Tell me what you meant when you said all my men are dead, “ I said, not wanting to beat around the bush.It was then that I realized how insensitive I was being. She had been through a lot and I hadn’t even heard what had happened to her yet I was prioritizing my needs over hers. I shook my head and gave her a soft look.“What happened Anabelle? One day I left you with Lorenzo, Viv, and Florian, and the next, I came back to find my mansion in ashes. What happened to your arm and where have you been?” I asked.She sighed and sat down on a rock. I followed her lead and sat beside her.“We were all in the mansion. Florian and I were in the basement interrogating someone when we heard the commotion upstairs. We stayed back and watched through the li

Chapter: AnabelleAs I was pacing wondering why the men we had sent to attack Bianchi’s estate had not arrived, my phone rang. I frowned as I looked at the screen because it was an unknown number. Who could it be?Thinking it could be new information regarding Nikolai, I was eager to answer it. I stepped away from Romano. Esposito had gone for a smoke so he wasn’t anywhere near where we were.“Hello, “ I spoke as soon as I placed the phone against my ear.“It’s Anabelle. I need you to make sure you are nowhere near the people around you. Walk away from everyone now. “ The voice on the other end said.I recognized that it was indeed Anabelle from her voice. I could recognize it anywhere. I put my hand on my mouth and did as she had instructed. I knew I shouldn’t have trusted anyone but my instincts told me I could trust her.“Where have you been? “ I asked, wondering why she had been missing all that time.“Look, I can’t talk for long. It was a trap. Bianchi is not an enemy. You can’t trust anyone. You’

Chapter: First Suspect“ You know something, don’t you? This can end right now or we can go all night. “ Lorenzo said and removed his coat for emphasis.He proceeded to fold the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows. I didn’t understand why he insisted on wearing a suit when he was only going to torture people. It was a waste of the perfectly tailored expensive Armani.We were in the basement of the new house and there was a man tied to a chair. It was only the three of us in the room. The man was believed to have known what happened to the estate. He was one of the guards who had survived.We had yet to find the rest and it begged the question of why they were hiding in the first place. I had made it my responsibility to know everyone who had died during the attack. Those who were survivors and hadn’t come forward were suspects.Before the man could speak, my phone rang and I headed out to pick it up. It was one of the suppliers and I prayed it was good news or else he would pay. My patience was thinner than

Chapter: NikolaiMy head was buzzing and my ears were ringing. There was an undeniable pain in my right leg and stomach. I was beginning to think I was in purgatory for all the bad things that I had done. I tried unsuccessfully to pry my eyes open.Every time I did that, my head hurt like small pins were being dropped on my head. I let out a groan when I was finally able to open my eyes. I was surprised when I saw darkness everywhere.If it wasn’t for the fact that I was sure that I had opened my eyes, I would have been doubtful of the fact that they were open. I tried to walk and that was when I registered that my movement was restricted.There were shackles on both my arms, pulling them apart like I was on a cross. My feet, on the other hand, were shackled to the wall behind me but they were closer together than my arms.Where the fuck was I?I tried to remember the events of the past few days but my memory was foggy and my thoughts were all over the place. I wanted to get out of that place that had
