Dimitri's POV
I stopped running when I was far enough from the store.
My chest was heaving, my heart was pounding, but the panic was slowly fading.
I leaned against a wall, trying to catch my breath and calm down.
People were still glancing at me as they walked past. Their eyes lingered on the bandages wrapped around my head, some looked concerned, others looked suspici

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-FiveIrina's POVThe months after Alexei's death were the hardest of my life. This was grief, pure and unrelenting, a weight that sat on my chest and made it hard to breathe.I had not expected to love Alexei. When I learned the truth about that night, I had hated him. He had deceived me and violated me and taken something that was not his to take.But then I watched him change. Slowly and painfully, he tried. He really tried. He learned to hold Nikolai gently. He learned to speak softly. He learned to ask for forgiveness.And somewhere in those months, I fell. Not the way I loved Dimitri, with passion and fire. It was softer and quieter.

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-FourDimitriThe funeral was held in the old church where our parents were buried. The same stone walls that had witnessed their funeral fifteen years ago now bore witness to my brother's. The morning was gray and cold, snow falling in soft sheets that covered everything in white but nothing could hide the truth. My brother was dead. My twin. My other half. Gone.Mikhail spoke, his voice breaking on every word as he buried the second son he had raised. He stood at the front of the church, his cane in one hand and the other gripping the podium for support."Alexei Volkov was a complicated man," Mikhail said, his voice rough. "He made mistakes. Terrible mistakes. But at the end, he chose love. He chose sacrifice. He gave his life to protect the innocent. And that is how I will remember him."The entire Bratva attended. The church was packed with men in dark suits, their faces grim. Men who had killed without hesitation stood silent, paying respects to one o

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-ThreeIrinaI collapsed beside them, clutching Nikolai with one arm and reaching for Alexei with the other. Sobs tore through my body as I touched his face, still warm, already gone. My fingers trembled as they traced the line of his jaw, the curve of his cheek, memorizing the contours of his face one last time.The man who had saved me. The father of my child. The man who had held me captive, who had hurt me, who had tortured me. But also the man who had changed. Who had tried to be better. Who had thrown himself in front of a bullet to protect me.The man I had learned, against all reason and resistance, to love."Alexei," I whispered, my voi

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-TwoDimitriThe Romano struck at dawn. Armed men stormed the compound in coordinated waves, breaking through defenses that were spread thin across fractured territories. Most of my elite guards were stationed at my wing. Most of Alexei's men were protecting the western district. The compound itself was undermanned and exposed.Alarms screamed through the mansion. Gunfire erupted like thunder. The sound was deafening, a constant roar that shook the walls and rattled the windows. I grabbed my gun from the nightstand, checked the clip, and ran.The hallways were chaos. Men were shouting, running, dying. I saw bodies on the floor, some ours, some theirs. Blood was everywhere, splattered on the walls, pooling on the marble floors. The acrid smell of gunpowder filled the air, mixing with the metallic scent of blood."Irina!" I shouted. "Nikolai!" But my vo

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-OneIrinaI watched Dimitri sleep beside me. He looked peaceful for the first time in days. Nikolai was sleeping between us, safe and warm. This was all I wanted. Just peace. Just safety. Just my family together.Dimitri had explained everything to me. The call with Don Romano. The meeting planned for tomorrow. The promise of negotiation. I wanted to believe it was real. Wanted to believe that our nightmare was finally over. But something felt wrong. I could not explain it. Just a feeling in my gut that things were not as they seemed."What are you thinking about?" Dimitri whispered. I had not realized he was awake."Nothing," I lied."Liar," he said softly. "I can tell when something is bothering you."I sighed. "I am scared. Scared that this peace will not last. Scared that Don Romano is lying. Scared that tomorrow everything will fall apart.""I am scared too," Dimitri said. "But what choice did we have? It was either make a deal or keep running foreve

Chapter One Hundred and SixtyDimitri"Why would they want to speak with you?" the voice on the phone asked."Because I have something they want," I said. "Information about their operations. Secrets that could destroy them. And I am willing to trade it for peace."There was a long pause on the other end."Hold," the voice said.We waited in tense silence. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. This could go very wrong very quickly.Finally, a new voice came on the line. Older. Deeper. More authoritative."Mr. Volkov," the voice said. "My name is Don Romano. I am the head of the Romano family. And I must say, I am surprised to hear from you.""I want to make a deal," I said."What kind of deal?" Don Romano asked."I have files," I explained. "Documents and videos left by my father. Information about your operations. Your enemies. Your secrets. I will give them to you. All of them. In exchange for a guarantee that you will leave my family alone."Don Romano laughed.
