Mikhail

I could feel something was off about Liliana.

She'd been quiet all morning, lost in thought with worry lines creasing her forehead. Every time I tried to catch her eye, she'd look away or find something else to focus on.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked as she paced by the window for the third time in ten minutes.

"I'm fine," she said, but her voice was strained. "Just nervous about the plan."

I could understand that. Hell, I was nervous too. But this felt different. This felt like she was keeping something from me.

Anastasia had stepped out to make her call to Vlad, claiming she needed privacy to make it convincing. Viktor and Dmitri were doing a perimeter check, leaving Liliana and I alone for the first time since this morning.

"Talk to me," I said, crossing the room to where she stood. "What's really going on?"

She turned to face me, and I saw something in her eyes that made my chest tighten. Fear, yes, but also guilt. Like she was carrying the weight of something she d

    MikhailThe Moscow Steel warehouse loomed before me like a monument. Broken windows, rusted metal siding that groaned in the wind. This place had been abandoned for at least a decade, or maybe longer.Viktor and Dmitri had taken their positions twenty minutes ago. I could feel their presence in the darkness, even though I couldn't see them. And that was the point, if I couldn't see them then Vlad couldn't.But as I approached the main entrance, that familiar instinct started screaming again. Something was wrong. The silence was too complete, and too perfect.I checked my watch and it says two minutes to eight PM.The heavy steel door was slightly ajar, which should have been my first warning. But I was committed now. Whatever was waiting inside, I was going to face it.I pushed the door open and stepped into the darkness.“Hello, Mikhail.”A voice came from everywhere and nowhere, amplified by hidden speakers. It was electronically distorted, but there was something familiar about the

    LilianaThe moment the door closed behind Mikhail, I felt like I couldn't breathe.Anastasia was humming again. That same soft tune she'd been humming all day. It was starting to make my skin crawl."He's a good man," she said, settling into her chair. "Just like his father was at that age.""Yeah," I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper."You love him very much, don't you?" She asked softly.I looked at her, studying her face. Those kind eyes, the gentle smile. She looked like someone's grandmother, not someone who would ever hurt Mikhail and me."More than anything," I said."I can see that. The way you look at him... it reminds me of how I used to look at someone once.""Who?" I asked, my curiosity piqued. It never crossed my mind that someone like Anastasia Volkova, the Jezebel would love a man let alone have kids.She was quiet for a moment, staring out of the window. "Someone I lost a long time ago."My phone buzzed. A text from Vadim that made my heart stop."Everyth

  • Blood And Vows    Chapter Fifty-nine

    LilianaI wasn't really sleeping. My heart had been racing since everything started. My eyes flickered when Mikhail stood up from the bed. And I saw Anastasia sit up also.I'd been listening to Mikhail and Anastasia's conversation, and every word made me more suspicious. Something about the way Anastasia spoke, the way she positioned herself as both victim and informant, felt wrong.But it was more than that. It was the little things. The way she'd glanced at the door when she thought no one was looking. The way she'd positioned herself near the window with a clear view of the street. The way she'd asked specific questions about our security arrangements.And that glint in her eyes when she'd mentioned Vlad. I hadn't imagined it.When their conversation ended and Mikhail came back to bed, I waited until his breathing evened out before slipping away. I had to know the truth, and there was only one way to find out.I made my way to the bathroom and carefully closed the door. Then I pu

  • Blood And Vows    Chapter Fifty-eight

    MikhailSomething was wrong. I'd been staring at the ceiling for the past two hours, unable to sleep. Every instinct I'd developed over the years was screaming at me, but I couldn't pinpoint why.Liliana was curled up beside me, finally resting after everything we'd been through. Viktor and Dmitri were taking shifts on watch. Anastasia had fallen asleep in the chair by the window, looking fragile and exhausted.But my mind kept replaying the conversation from earlier. Something about Anastasia's story didn't add up.I slipped out of bed quietly and moved to the small table where I'd spread out everything we knew. Documents, photos, timelines. I'd been trying to piece together the Architect's plan, but there were too many holes."Can't sleep either?" Anastasia's faint voice came through.I turned to find her awake, watching me with those same caring eyes I'd known my whole life."Just thinking," I said."About Vlad?" She asked."Among other things." I studied her face in the dim light

    LilianaMikhail tore his shirt and tied it around my arm to stop the bleeding. The tension between Mikhail and Anastasia was thick enough to cut with a knife.We were back in our motel room, all of us exhausted and on edge. The attack at the factory had been a disaster. We'd barely escaped, and we still didn't know who the real enemy was."Start talking," Mikhail said. "Everything."Anastasia sat on the edge of the bed, looking older than I'd ever seen her. Her perfect composure was cracking."I don't know where you're getting your information from," she said, her voice shaking. "But I am not Anastasia Romanova. I never was.""Don't lie to me," Mikhail snapped. "We know the truth.""What truth?" She reached into her purse with trembling hands. "This truth?"She pulled out a worn document and handed it to Mikhail. It was a birth certificate, yellowed with age."Anastasia Volkova," Mikhail read aloud. "Born December 15th, 1968. Parents: Ivan Volkov and Maria Volkova.""That's your grand
