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. Giselle’s presence made it different.She sat on the edge of a leather chair across the room, her back straight and hands fol

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

Chapter: Book 6: chapter 51When she doesn’t respond, I slip my phone back into my pocket. My headquarters for the beginnings of the nonprofit I’m starting is in Atlanta. It will be perfect to have Faith there. Maybe she can help out. I’ve really missed having her around.After I left Kenya, she became a nanny to a US Ambassador, who ended up going home. I’d thought I’d have to go back to Kenya to see Faith.After moving back to Georgia, I got my own place in Blue Mountain, but then I ended up spending most of my time in Atlanta at the company so I bought a condo in a high rise, the same building where Weston and Callie have a place for when he has to work at the main office.I hate working at the Keith Enterprise headquarters and would prefer to work from Blue Mountain. But for now, that doesn’t seem to be possible.I take a seat at a table, and Jenni and Langston sit with me.Jenni leans across the table in a conspiratorial way. “We want to know who you were texting just now.”“What makes you think I was texti

Chapter: Book 6: chapter 50EPILOGUE Brensen Six months later Langston’s house is packed when I get there for his engagement party. Everyone is out in the backyard surrounding the grill, sitting out at tables spread across the lawn beneath maple trees that are bright orange and red. It’s still not that cold outside, but this is Georgia, after all. It never gets much of a winter to begin with. It’s more like fall slowly turns into spring with a few chilly days in between. Still, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the seasons changing. Kenya doesn’t get much of a fall. Powell is manning the grill, stacking up piles of chicken legs, hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, and steaks. There’s a table laden with food, including potato salad, coleslaw, green salad, baked beans, and a variety of desserts. Knowing Powell’s cooking, it’s probably all delicious too. “You sure know how to throw a shindig,” I tell Langston when I come up to him where he’s standing by his new fiancée. She’s holding a bundle in her arms. “Is t

I’m all about hearing about other people’s love lives.“Which never happens,” Langston says. “That makes me think he’s hiding something.”Brensen only smiles bigger. “Oh, man. This is fun. It’s been ages since we just sat here at Harvey’s shooting the breeze.”Dolores shows up with our food and takes Ronnie and Brensen’s orders.I dig into my chicken sandwich while Brensen tells us all about Kenya. “I want to start a nonprofit over there to help all the poverty-stricken children there.”“Hey, me too,” I pipe up. “I was just saying I want to start an orphanage in India. Maybe we could have one in Kenya too.”“I know some people who could help make that happen,” Brensen says. “But it looks like Dad wants me to come back here and work for the company.”“Is that the real reason you’re back?” Langston asks.“Yep. But I did want to see you two love birds too. Even if you are completely nauseating.”“So it’s not just me then?” Ronnie th

Everyone in town could see the chemistry between you. You should have heard the knitting club going on about how Langston gave the purse money to his true love. They’ll be talking about that for years. They say the footage of it went viral. You got any big plans of what to do with the cash?”“Actually, I do,” I say.Langston turns to me. “Really? I hadn’t heard this part.”“That’s because I haven’t told anyone yet.”“Well, let’s hear it.

I’m surprised he can run that fast with such a huge belly. You’d think he’d get rug burn from it dragging on the ground.” I step on my tiptoes to kiss Langston.“Mmm. I can get used to this.”“I hope you don’t,” I say.“What?” Langston furrows his brow.“I hope this always feels fresh and new. Just like it does today.”Langston smiles.My heart flutters. “You don’t know what your smile does to me, do you?”That makes his grin grow even wider. “No, tell me all about it.”I trace a finger across his chest. “It makes me go weak at the knees, my breath catches in my throat, and my head starts to float.”“Your head floats?” Langston laughs. “Sounds like one of those campfire stories Hayden likes so much.”I smack his chest, which is so rock hard it hurts my hand. “Ow.” I rub it. “You know what I mean.”“I do, actually. Because I feel the same way. Floating

In front of everyone.”My heart freezes for a moment. “Was that not okay?”She smiles. “Langston, it was more than okay. I wasn’t sure if you would still want me after you found out I couldn’t have kids.”“Of course I want you. Being with you is the most important thing to me. Children can come in whatever way you want, whether that’s adopting or fostering or just having Hayden. He’s plenty.”“But you said you want a whole house full of kids.” Her voice is small when she says it.“That can be a house full of foster kids. Or kids we adopt. But the main part of this dream is to have you with me. I love you, Jenni Finely, and that will never change.”“You really mean that?”“Of course I do.”“I love you too, Langston,” she says.“So what does that mean for us?” I ask.She reaches out and takes my hand

To Asya, he says, “Clearly, she is a clever woman! Smart and witty! Who else could get that son of yours to settle down?”“It’s true,” chimes in another cousin, an older woman busy untying her silk scarf from around her head. “We were all convinced our Pasha would never meet someone who could handle his, how you say…”“Stubborn ass?” Sofi offers.The family descends into a cacophony of conversation as they settle into their seats, handing Asya beautifully wrapped gifts and thick cards.

I download an app that lets me spin up a secondary VoIP number and I give that one to Todd and Keith, because I’ll be damned if they farm my shit out to Conrad and Brittany again.I hardly trust them to pay me these days.

I’d rather bend you over the table right here and have you for breakfast.” I swat at his wandering hands. One of us has to be responsible, and it looks like that’s me today. “You already ate. Twice.” I bite back a moan when he nibbles the sweet spot near my shoulder. “And there’s no bending me over anything. I’m the size of a beached whale.” “Won’t stop me from trying.” “You’re terrible!” I exclaim with a laugh. “Now, go. Shoo! I need to get everything ready for your mother’s birthday.” Pasha sighs. “Fine. I’ll be at the office if you need me.” I hand him his phone and check his wrist for the watch that he doesn’t always remember to put on. The longer we live together, the more I’m picking up on tiny little quirks I don’t think he’s even aware of. When I met him, I thought he was a god. An angel, at the very least. I sti

Chapter: chapter 87PASHAI’m on my tenth attempt to read the same sentence in the Chekhov International Employee Handbook. No matter what I do, my mind keeps wandering back to Daphne’s blowup in the car.Do you respect your employees?I know what she was really asking. Do I walk my talk? Do I hold my people accountable? Am I the man I claim to be?I wanted to say yes, just to have the higher ground. So I could proudly be better—far better—than her dickhead employers.But it’s been bugging me ever since she brought it up.That’s why I’m on page seventy-two of this handbook and silently cursing whoever decided we needed a fucking Bible instead of a few simple pages.I’m still irritated that Daphne has no problem standing up to me, but can’t do the same to those idiots she calls her bosses. She doesn’t hesitate to tell me exactly where I can stick my overbearing habits—but them? The second they seem even mildly displeased, she bows under their pressure and slinks off to the corner.I was so fucking pissed.

But now that it’s out, I can’t feel a reason to stop.“That may not have been an ideal job, but it was the first and only one that I chose for myself. That I won for myself, on my own terms and my own credit.” I sigh. “And then you had to barge in and take it all away. Just like how you took my home away from me. My ability to drive myself literally anywhere. Shit, I can’t remember the last time I even got to decide where we go out to eat. Newsflash, Pasha: this is the twenty-first century.
