CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN
ALEXEI
I stood there, staring Mikhail down. This guy had caused so much havoc in our lives. He took my brother from me, tried to harm Zoey and me countless times, messed with my businesses, and now he had the nerve to demand my Bratva.
It was a sick joke.
There's no way I'm handing over my Bratva to him, no matter what he thinks.
But then Zoey yelled, and my blood ran cold. "Don't do it, Alexei. He has Yelena."
Yelena? What had that bastard done now?
Before I could react, Mikhail slapped Zoey across the face, and I felt fury boil inside me.
"How dare you hit her?" I roared, ready to tear him apart. But then he grabbed Zoey and pointed his gun at her head.
"Take one step, and she's gone," he sneered, his gaze daring me to defy him.
He ordered his scar-faced henchman to go after Yelena, and I felt a surge of panic.
Yaz's voice came through the earpiece, "Don't worry, Alexei, I'll follow him and get

ALEXEIThe drive to the warehouse was tense, the weight of the situation pressing down on us. Yelena, Yaz, and I were focused, each lost in our thoughts.The plan was simple – storm the warehouse, neutralize Mikhail and his men, and bring Zoey back unharmed.As we approached the warehouse, I couldn't help but feel a surge of adrenaline. The familiar sights of the criminal underworld surrounded us – dimly lit alleys, shadowy figures, and the distant sounds of the city at night.Yaz parked the car at a discreet distance. "We're here. Let's go over the plan one more time."I nodded, taking a deep breath. "We need to catch them off guard. Yaz, lead our men to the back entrance. Yelena, you and I will go through the front. We'll converge on Mikhail and Zoey from both sides."Yelena gripped the weapon at her side, her eyes fierce. "We've got this, Alexei. Let's bring Zoey home."As we moved into position,

ALEXEIThe hospital room was a whirlwind of emotions – joy, relief, and a bit of lingering panic. Zoey lay in the bed, holding our newborn son, who seemed blissfully unaware of the chaos he had just caused. The guys, Viktor and Yaz, were still grappling with the reality of the situation.Yaz was pacing back and forth, muttering to himself. "Man, I never signed up for this. I thought we were just dealing with the mafia stuff, not witnessing a childbirth!"Viktor, ever the practical one, was attempting to hand me a stack of diapers as if that would solve everything. "Here, Alexei, you need to be prepared. Diapers are crucial."I chuckled, taking the diapers from him. "Thanks, Viktor. But I think I got the basics covered."Emma and Yelena, the unsung heroes in this comedy of errors, were quietly reveling in the spectacle. Yelena shot me a smug grin. "Looks like the mighty mafia boss is facing a challenge he never expected."Emma nodded in agreement. "Who would've thought that our toughes
BLOODSTAINED HEARTS CHAPTER ONE
ZOEY The sterile fluorescent lights of Gotham Press and the incessant hum of printers were the soundtrack to my life. I couldn't say I loved my job, but it paid the bills, and in this city, that was no small feat. My name is Zoey Anderson, and I was a journalist, or more accurately, an investigative journalist—or, as my boss often put it, a "pain in his well-dressed rear end." I navigated my way through the cluttered newsroom, past rows of desks piled high with newspapers, coffee cups, and stacks of paper that screamed "deadline panic." As I made my way toward my desk, a hand shot out and snatched my attention. "Zoey, get in here," barked Mr. Theodore Harrington, our illustrious editor-in-chief. He was the man who wielded power like a sledgehammer and had a perpetual scowl etched onto his face. I couldn't help but roll my eyes before obediently following him into his glass-walled office. The nameplate on his desk read 'Theodore Harrington, Esq.' He wasn't a lawyer; he just had a
BLOODSTAINED HEARTS CHAPTER TWO
ALEXEI The bar was dimly lit, its air heavy with the scent of cigars and the low hum of Russian voices engaged in conversations that ranged from mundane to sinister. A world of shadows and secrets, where alliances were forged and broken over glasses of vodka, and where business was conducted with a steely resolve. Beside me sat my closest confidant and second-in-command, Yazmin, a man whose loyalty had been unwavering through the darkest of times. We had come here for business, but the memory of what had brought us here simmered beneath the surface, like a dormant volcano waiting to erupt. Yaz was the only one who knew the depths of my anger, the fire that burned within me. He was also the only one who dared to poke fun at me, even in the direst of situations. I glanced at Yaz, his dark eyes dancing with mischief, a stark contrast to his clean-shaven, rugged exterior. He leaned in closer, a devilish grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. "You know, Alexei, this place could use
BLOODSTAINED HEARTS CHAPTER THREE
ZOEY The sunlight streaming through the curtains felt like a cruel punishment after the night we'd had. My head throbbed with the intensity of a thousand drummers, and the mere thought of moving made me want to crawl back under the covers and never emerge. But duty called, and I had a job to do, even with a nasty hangover. Groaning, I reluctantly threw back the blankets and swung my legs over the side of the bed. The room spun for a moment, and I had to steady myself on the nightstand. My best friend and roommate, Emma, had promised a night of celebration for our company's five-year anniversary, and she had delivered. But the morning after was a cruel reminder of the price we had paid for our revelry. I stumbled my way to the kitchen, where Emma was already nursing a cup of coffee that looked like it could raise the dead. "Morning, sunshine," she greeted me, her voice laced with a hint of amusement. I shot her a withering look. "If this is your idea of morning, I want a refund."
BLOODSTAINED HEARTS CHAPTER FOUR
I sat in the dimly lit VIP section of The Velvet Shadow, a sanctuary of shadows and secrets far removed from the pulsating music and frenetic energy of the dance floor below. With me were Yaz, my trusted second-in-command, and two of my most loyal men, Ivan and Viktor.Our presence in this club had nothing to do with revelry or relaxation; we were here for business. The club provided a convenient meeting point, a neutral ground where deals could be made without attracting unwanted attention.Yaz, always the joker of the group, leaned in, his voice a low rumble. "Boss, are you sure we can trust these people? I mean, they seem shady even by our standards."I sighed, reminding myself that Yaz's scepticism was often well-founded. "Yaz, we've been doing business with them for years. They may be shady, but they're reliable. Just stick to the plan."Our "business" tonight involved the acquisition of certain goods that we would later distribute through our network. It was a transaction that h
BLOODSTAINED HEARTS CHAPTER FIVE
ZOEY I am Alexei Pushkin. Those four words hung in the air like a revelation, shattering my already fragile grasp on reality. The chaos of the gunfight raged around us, the club's once-sultry atmosphere now transformed into a battlefield. But amidst the violence and danger, my mind struggled to process the unbelievable truth. "What the fuck? Did he just say he was Alexei Pushkin?" I muttered to myself, my voice trembling with disbelief. The enigmatic stranger who had captured my attention, the man I had been conversing with just moments ago, was none other than the infamous mob boss himself. It was a revelation that defied logic, a twist of fate that I could never have imagined. As the gunfight continued to unfold, I found myself torn between shock and a strange sense of attraction that I couldn't quite fathom. Alexei Pushkin was not a man to be trifled with, a fact that had been driven home by his earlier warnings about the d
