Inara’s heart was hammering against her chest. She’d sent Agron a text every night and this morning he’d reminded her that he would pick her up at four. She had five minutes to spare as she zipped her suitcase shut.Endrit had met her outside of her dorm building every morning and dutifully walked her to class. He sat with her at lunch and walked her back to her building after school. She saw him on the sports grounds and the whole school knew she was off limits.She had no idea what was going on. Dominic was alive and he texted her every day, normal things like ‘have a good day’ so she knew the Russians were dead and every day she lived in fear of Dominic showing up and getting himself killed.She took a deep breath and wondered if Agron knew that it was her eighteenth birthday on Sunday. She pulled her suitcase to the floor and wheeled it out of her room. She had to make this work, somehow she had to appeal to Agron’s better side to leave her family alone. She’d do whatever it took

Inara had settled in and taken a shower and she stood in front of her suitcase with a small smile on her lips. She might not have many choices here but that didn’t mean she was going to make it easy for Agron and just play the meek little arranged bride.She pulled on her favorite pair of sweatpants with an old University sweatshirt she’d swiped from Gage and left her hair in a messy bun. She wore no make-up and pulled socks on her feet and left the bedroom.If Agron wanted her as a wife he might as well get used to this side of her. It wasn’t her problem if he didn’t like what he saw. With that thought in mind, she headed down the hall and down the stairs to the living room.As promised, a whole pile of take-out menus were stacked neatly on the coffee table. Inara made herself comfortable on the couch, and tucked her legs underneath her and grabbed the pile. She had no idea what Agron liked and she didn’t really care.She’d done her research on Albania as well and everything she coul

“You know, we could always just shoot everyone,” Hudson said.“Right and have the sons of the heads and Elders come hunt us down, real smart, Hudson,” Cooper said with a shake of his head.“It’s not like you have a better plan,” Hudson remarked drily.“But Dominic does,” Cooper said with a grin as he glanced in the rearview mirror.“Hunter is safe within the Volkov compound. Gage’s location is secure. Inara’s at school, whatever they have planned, they won’t hurt her. I will step in and remove her when it becomes necessary. Tonight’s meeting will be enlightening and I’m sure I’ll have some questions answered by the time it’s done,” Dominic said.“Who do you think orchestrated this whole thing?” Ethan asked him.“Rocco. He wants power.” Dominic turned his head to look out of the window, a signal for his men to keep their mouths shut. He needed to think. Rocco would not be pleased when he found out that Hunter now belonged to the Russians and that Gage had taken a Russian bride as well.

Tensions rose in the wooden cabin but Dominic remained unmoved. He would not give his sister to a man like Dante De Santis, over his dead, cold body. Aldo Bianchi cleared his throat and moved on to the next item on the list.“You are all eligible for marriage and a match has been found for you, Dominic. We will start negotiations for my daughter’s hand in marriage,” Aldo said.“Again, I’ll have to apologize, Elder. I have been married for almost two months already. A marriage contract was in place since I was a boy, concluded between my father, Conrad, and Lorenzo Altobella,” Dominic said.“You had no right, Dominic!” Michael De Santis roared in anger.Aldo Bianchi perused the contract and glanced over at Lorenzo Altobella. “Why did you not tell us about this?”“I had thought the contract null and void when Conrad died, but Dominic insisted that I fulfill my end of the agreement. I had little choice but to hand my daughter over to him,” Lorenzo said.Dominic realized then what Lorenzo

Rafaella ventured out of the bedroom and found Remy sitting at the kitchen counter. His head turned at the sound of her approaching footsteps and he smiled and stood up from the chair.“Good morning, Rafi,” he said.Rafaella smiled at him. Everyone had taken to calling her Rafi ever since Hudson had started copying Dominic’s name for her. “Are you hungry, Remy? I feel like an omelet would hit the spot.”“I could eat again.” Remy smiled as he put the kettle on and rolled up his sleeves. “What can I do to help?”“You can grate the cheese while I chop the mushrooms and peppers.” Rafaella handed him the block of cheese and the grater.They made small talk as they each completed their tasks and Rafaella put the stove on and heated up the olive oil. She made their omelets and Remy made tea and coffee. When she was done, she plated up their food and they sat at the counter and ate.“You are an amazing cook, Rafi,” Remy said and wiped his mouth with the linen napkin.“Thank you, Remy,” she sa

Dominic tapped his fingers on his thighs impatiently. The freeway was busy and he wanted to get back to the penthouse. He had a lot to do. He pulled his phone from his jacket pocket and dialed Remy’s number.Dominic clenched his jaw as it rang and rang and eventually went over to voicemail. He closed his eyes briefly and gripped his phone in his hand. “Remy’s not answering his fucking phone. I swear he’s on his last warning with me.”Hudson chuckled from beside him and shook his head. “That kid’s still green, Dominic. Maybe I should just bend him over and show him how a real man does it.”Cooper and Ethan laughed loudly from the front as Austin shook his head. “Fuck, Hudson, you’d really fuck anything with a hole.”“Don’t be jealous, Austin, I’m man enough to admit that free sex is free sex, whichever hole it goes into,” Hudson said.“Please stop,” Dominic said as he closed his eyes.“I mean, if you just close your eyes and the fucker doesn’t say anything you can imagine whoever you w

“What the fuck happened in here?” Lev asked as they stood in Dominic’s bedroom looking down at Matthew Bianchi.“He killed Remy, the man I had on Rafaella. He raped her when she was a child and he came after her tonight. Someone must have told him that I took possession of her earlier today and he came to take her. She shot the fucking bastard,” Dominic said.“You look almost proud, Dominic,” Lev said with a grin. “She did way fucking more than just shoot him.”Dominic looked down at the horrific sight that was Matthew Bianchi. His eyes had been stabbed out and the knife was still in his chest. Dominic had no idea how many times she’d stabbed him in his heart but he knew that on a primal level, taking his eyes and heart was her way of avenging herself.“I’m glad to know she can handle herself but I’m sorry she had to do it though. I would’ve gladly killed this animal slowly.”“Someone will know he was here,” Lev said and dragged a hand through his hair.“True. But my man is dead and M

On Saturday morning, Inara ventured into the kitchen, still yawning and stopped short. Agron and his men were busy with breakfast and arguing about what Inara would prefer to eat and drink. She watched them for a while until Kadri cleared his throat and pointed in her direction.“What’s going on?” she asked them.They all had sheepish looks on their faces and she smiled with amusement. Granit was a big man, maybe even bigger than Austin and he was wearing a navy blue apron dusted with flour. Kadri was squeezing fresh oranges while Besnik was kneading dough and Dren was cutting up fruit. Agron seemed to be frying bacon.“We wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed,” Agron said and smiled at her.“Firstly, you didn’t have to go to all this trouble just for me and secondly, it is a nice surprise either way,” she said and sat down at the counter.“See, I told you she’d like it,” Granit said and wiped his hands on the apron.“What are you making? Is the dough for bread?” Inara asked as
