Chapter: Book 4: chapter 33LukeHe had a feeling that when he went to his friend’s house, he would find something that was unacceptable. Even though Luke had talked to Steven about it, heard what was said and how badly the two of them wanted each other, Steven had made the promise that nothing would happen. He believed him, sort of.Luke figured that Steven would do his best to keep his promise, but apparently there was something about his sister that no man seemed able to refuse. He was still under the impression that it might very well be Cassandra's fault, but he couldn't worry about that now. He was worried about why Steven wasn't answering the door. Even if he was out sleeping, he would have usually answered it right away.Once Steven got to the door, he looked discombobulated, and his eyes weren't even focused. It looked like he really had just woke up. Luke wished that his surprised look would make him feel better. He was sleeping, not keeping a betrayal from him. Steven invited him in, and he started to

Chapter: Book 4: chapter 32CassandraCassandra woke up with a start from the loud knocking on the door. At first it started out far away in her mind and then as she got closer to wakefulness, the knocking got louder. Cassandra sighed loudly, tossed and turned, and tried to go back to sleep. She was tired. What they had done the night before, had completely worn her out.It was Steven’s hurried, hushed voice that made her finally get up. Cassandra was just thinking how she didn't want to get up for the day. She wanted more sleep because her body needed time to recover from her pleasure the night before. The thought of it brought a smile to her face. That was, until Steven’s words and meaning started to hit home.“Cassandra, you need to get up and get out of here. It's your brother. I hate to ask you to leave like this, but you know how he is.”That got Cassandra moving. The idea that her brother Luke would be there got her moving and made her move faster. She’d walked over, so thankfully she had no car there, bu

Chapter: Book 4: chapter 31StevenThere he was, minding his own business, when everything started to go sideways. Cassandra burst her way in and what was he supposed to do, refuse her? He couldn’t and hadn’t wanted to. So instead, Steven grabbed her and yanked her into his arms. Her top was bare and her arms unfolded, to leave her tit’s softness smashed against his chest. He grimaced with the instant desire that ran through him. He had envisioned that she wasn’t going to respond in the way she was. Cassandra was so alive, which made dealing with her harder than ever.“Are you trying to drive me crazy, Cassandra?”Cassandra shrugged and confessed that she would do just that, if it got her what she wanted. His need to match her own, was what she wanted at the moment and when she said that, he melted against her, pulling her in for a kiss to get it started. She whimpered against his lips and Steven knew that there was no going back. He had not too long before made a promise to his best friend and he was going to b

Chapter: Book 4: chapter 30CassandraShe had resolved to be with Steven. It was in her mind to do it and as soon as Cassandra made up her mind, it wasn’t going to be changed. Not only that, but she also wasn’t going to stop until she got what she wanted. They had dropped her off and within a few minutes, Cassandra was getting ready to go out again. She needed to see Steven. Her courage was waning, and it wouldn’t be long before she second guessed everything.Luke getting in the middle of ruining her chances before was not seen by her as a sign. It was just one of many obstacles that she was prepared to jump over to get what she wanted. Cassandra had decided that letting Steven have his way with her was what she needed most.Cassandra knew where Steven lived, sort of. She knew that he was just a few blocks away, so when she got herself prepared to go, she went in the direction where he lived. It wouldn’t take much for her to get there. Then, she would finally be able to finish what she started before. Cassandra

Chapter: Book 4: chapter 29StevenThe whole time they drove back home to Hartford, Cassandra sat behind Steven, and she kept giving him these looks. If it was from anybody else but Cassandra, he would know exactly what it meant, but Cassandra was different. He never knew what was going on with her, whether he was coming or going. She had a bland looking face, one that held mystery and just the right amount of mischief. He wanted to know what it was all about, but they had hours of road ahead of them, and Luke insisted on sitting in the front seat. He said that the back seat was just too easy to fall asleep in. Steven wouldn't mind his friend taking a little bit of a cat nap, so that he could have some one-on-one time with Cassandra. Maybe they could talk some of it through.They dropped Cassandra off first, and it wasn’t like he could say anything. Steven told her goodbye and watched her get smaller in the rearview mirror. Luke wanted to know if he needed something to eat before they parted ways. Steven really

Chapter: Book 4: chapter 28CassandraShe just knew that it was finally the moment, the one she had been waiting for. Cassandra had paced back and forth in her room for what felt like hours. When she looked at the clock and it had only been half of an hour, she groaned. Why was she so worked up in the moment? It was just Steven. She was just going over there to say hi. It wasn’t like they had to do anything. That's what Cassandra kept telling herself anyway. She tried to play the scenario back in her head over and over again, but each time it became less and less important. Luke was sort of dating her best friend. Wasn't that the same thing?To Cassandra it felt like it was. She felt like her brother was just going to have to get over it. Sure, it had gotten really ugly after she started dating Nelson, married him, then had a kid with him. It was Luke that wouldn't let it go. The more Cassandra thought about it, the more she realized that it wasn't right that her brother tried to tell her that she couldn't be wi

Married Off To The Merciless Mafia King
“Dad What do you mean, you sold me to the Russian mob?”
Ana never thought her father capable of betrayal, but the truth hits harder than she ever imagined. Sold to New York’s most feared Bratva boss, Dmitri Orlov, Ana’s life turns into a waking nightmare.
Dmitri is a man whispered about in dark alleys—a ruthless crime lord with a reputation carved in blood. With his sharp suits, chilling smile, and a voice that can command armies, he’s the very definition of danger. And now, he owns Ana.
Their arrangement is simple: she’s the price her father paid, and Dmitri has no intention of letting her forget it. Cold and calculating, he’s determined to use Ana to exact his revenge. But there’s a darker, more complicated truth behind Dmitri’s anger. The beast with a soul as black as midnight has a weakness—and it’s her.
Every heated touch, every possessive growl, chips away at Ana’s defenses. Despite her fear, she starts to see glimpses of the man behind the monster, the one who wants to claim her not just in body, but in soul. But falling for Dmitri was never part of the plan, especially when she discovers she’s carrying his child.
Now Ana’s running for her life, caught between her father’s betrayal and Dmitri’s wrath. But there’s one thing she can’t escape—the fact that no matter how far she goes, she belongs to him. And Dmitri will stop at nothing to bring his wife—and his heir—home.
Because in their world, “till death do us part” isn’t just a vow—it’s a warning.

Chapter: Book 5: Epilogue 2I was grateful.Andrei’s face creased with worry. “Are you okay?”I drifted back to the presence and nodded. “I just thought of Dad. I mean, isn’t it funny how I was able to meet you because of the shipment he hid?”“Tell me about it. You think Peter had this all mapped out before he died?” Andrei asked with a playful grin. “That he wanted me to meet you?”I shrugged. “He was a genius. It’s not completely out of the box. He worked with you, so he must’ve known how great of a person you are.”Andrei chuckled. “Your father watched me murder men in cold blood a few times. There is no way he would have wanted a man like me for his daughter.”I looked him straight in the eyes and corrected him. “Every father wants a man who would love and protect their daughter. You’re all of those things, and I’m sure he would have approved.”Even if Mom hadn’t been a fan of it at first, she’d adjusted pretty well.Andrei took my hands and kissed the back of my palm. “And I promise to always love and prot

Chapter: Book 5: Epilogue 1GiselleSeven Months Later“It’s your birthday in less than an hour,” Mom said over the phone.For the first time since Dad died, she sounded happier, as if she’d finally gotten to that final stage of grief.Acceptance.The stage where even though the pain was still there, it just became easier to live with.I believed I’d also gotten to that stage.There were days when I missed Dad so much and wished he was still here, but those days were fleeting, and I found myself cherishing the memories we had when he was here.I’d shifted my focus to finding my own path in life and living in the moment. Andrei was the moment; because of him, I could live happily and smile freely again, something I never thought I would experience after Dad died.I stared blankly at the wall above me and sighed. “Yes, Mom. It’s my twenty-third birthday in an hour, and the only company I have is an empty house.”It was the first time I’d ever been home alone for a while now. Andrei made it a duty to always come ho

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 57“I think we need to celebrate.” She leaned in and whispered. “Let’s sneak away from here.”I took her hand in mine. “Come with me.”She squinted. “Where are we going?”“You’ll see.”I led her to the rooftop of the building, closing the door behind us to avoid any interruptions and burying the noise of the chaos below.The rooftop was quiet, and the city stretched out before us, a glittering expanse of lights and movement. The night breeze was cool, carrying with it the distant sounds of cars racing down the street.Giselle stood beside me, her hands covered in mine as she admired the full moon and the bed of stars in the sky.Our fingers grazed, and it felt like the entire world had been set ablaze, the heat licking through my veins and the air cracking with a jolt of tension.The weird feeling in my chest intensified, and my pulse raced. It was a reminder of what she meant to me—what I’d just discovered she meant to me.I watched her, something in my chest fluttering as I admired how

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 56AndreiThe air was thick with the aroma of burning cigars, the low murmur of laughter and conversation blending with the shuffle of cards and the clinking of crystal glasses.My fingers drummed idly against the felt-covered table, my gaze sweeping across my opponents.They were all seasoned members of the Bratva with hands that were scarred from bloodshed and dark eyes that threatened death.Antonio Morozov and Victor Volkov.We were all cut from the same cloak—all three of us—bred with cruelty, brutality, and bloodshed. Different in many ways yet similar in more than one.And at this table, every card we tossed was a matter of our pride. The joy that came with victory surpassed winning a war with a rival family.I’d always been a good player, only lost a game a couple of times. My skills were unbeatable, and everyone here knew it.But it was different tonight.

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 55I wrapped my arms around his neck, reveling in the heat seeping from his body and into mine as he carried me to our room.His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard, his body pressing against mine and enveloping me with warmth.We barely made it past the bedroom door when I shifted from the position in one fluid motion, wrapping my legs around his hips and tracing his lips with mine.His arm snaked around me, and one of his hands slid under my swimsuit, finding my bare breast and cupping it.I raked my fingers through his hair and kissed him. It was a hot, searing, primal kiss that evoked something deeper than lust from both of us. It was need, mixed with deep yearning.He deepened the kiss, dragging his thumb across my nipple and twisting it lightly.I moaned into his mouth, bucking when I felt his erection poke against my sex, and ground against him, desperate to ease the throbbing between my thighs.He slid a hand through my thong and cupped my sex, and then, fisting the thong, he ripp

Chapter: Book 5: chapter 54I swam toward him, resting my elbow on the edge just by his feet and tilting my head to look at him. “It’s called a two-piece swimsuit.”“Ah, I see.” He whipped his head around and glared at his guards, a silent signal for them to look away.I laughed. He hadn’t just grown more protective; he’d become even more possessive and jealous as well. It was cute to see. “You know they’ve been watching me swim every day for weeks now, right?”“Well, they’re not allowed to watch you swim anymore. No man is allowed to watch you swim beside me.”I huffed. He’d just saved me from having to discuss the bodyguard situation. “How was work today, husband?”“I had a couple of meetings with thePakhanand a couple of members of the Bratva. All I could think of while I was there was coming back home to you.” He placed a finger beneath my chin and leaned in. “I missed you.”“Me, too.” I squinted and grinned. “I think I missed you more.”He pretended to think for a moment. “I doubt it.”Something about the w
