MasukCHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN
Irina's POV I watched through tear-filled eyes as Roberto drove me back into the hands of my worst enemy.All I could do was cry, silent tears that streamed down my face endlessly.My pleas fell on deaf ears. Roberto acted like I was not even there.He cursed continuously at everything that came in his way. At the traffic, at the red lights, at any car that drove too slowly in front of us.He kept checking his watch obsessively. His jaw was clenched so tight I thought his teeth might break."We are running out of time," he muttered. "Damn it, we are running out of time!"I sat in the passenger seat. My hands were on my pregnant belly, trying to comfort the baby that was kicking frantically.The baby could sense my fearCHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHTDimitri's POVWhen I heard her scream, my soul left my body.That raw desperate sound told me everything. She was hurt. She was dying. And she was gone.I did not know where the strength came from but I pushed Mikhail away with force I did not know I had."Dimitri, no!" Mikhail shouted but I was already moving.I threw open the car door and dashed out into the chaos.Bullets were still flying, guards were already shooting at the attackers. The night was filled with smoke and noise.But I did not care. I did not think about my safety. I only thought about getting to her.When the attackers saw more reinforcements arriving, and saw how our guards were more than them, they fled quickly.Their car screeched away into the darkness, leaving de

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIXDimitriMikhail was pacing the office like a caged animal, his footsteps heavy on the marble floor.I sat in the leather chair, staring at nothing, feeling like a ghost.My life was a complete mess.Just a few weeks ago, I was the one searching for answers, desperately trying to figure out who I was.And now that I had found out, I wished I never did.I wished I had just stayed at the farm with Maria and Luna, living that simple peaceful life.Being a mafia lord, having enemies everywhere, being responsible for so many lives was too much."What if it was Alexei who kidnapped Carlo?" Mikhail spoke suddenly, cutting through my thoughts.I looked up at him. "What?""Think about it," Mikhail said, stopping his pacing. "Roberto is my brother,
CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVEIrina's POVRoberto held the phone so tightly his knuckles turned white."Who is this?" He demanded into the receiver. "What do you want?"The distorted voice laughed, it was mechanical but somehow I recognized something in it."You know what I want," the voice said.Then suddenly, the distortion cleared for just a moment, and I heard it, the real voice underneath.Alexei.My blood turned to ice. "It is Alexei," I whispered.Roberto and Marina looked at me in shock."Give me the phone," I said, my hands shaking.Roberto handed it to me. I pressed it to my ear."Alexei," I said, my voice shaking with fury. "You monster, you kidnapped a child
CHAPTER FIFTY-FOURDimitri's POVThe search for Alexei began immediately that same night.Mikhail sent out every available man, every contact, and every resource we had."Find him," Mikhail ordered, his voice calm but deadly. "Search every safe house, every hiding spot, every place he has ever been."The guards scattered like shadows into the night.I wanted to go with them, to search for him myself, but Mikhail insisted I stay at the estate."You are still recovering your memories," he said. "And you are a target, we cannot risk losing you too."So I waited, pacing the grand hall like a caged animal, listening to reports that came back empty."There are no sign of him at the docks.""The warehouse district is clear.""His known contacts say they hav
CHAPTER FIFTY-THREEIrina's POVI stood there in shock, staring at Roberto."She has to leave." Roberto repeated coldly.Marina's face crumpled, the delicate lines around her eyes deepened with despair. "You are not being serious.""I am very serious," Roberto said, gripping the back of a kitchen chair until his knuckles turned white. "Did you not hear what I said? Her being here is too risky, she is involved with the Volkov twins, and that is dangerous for all of us. Now our only son is missing."The last sentence broke my heart. Carlo was missing and I was the reason."But where will she go?" Marina asked desperately, her hands fluttering in the air as if searching for an answer. "She is pregnant, she has nowhere else to go.""That is not our problem,
