I had never seen my boss this nervous before. It was only the debut show of a new designer’s first collection—so why was he pacing back and forth as if royalty were about to arrive? Everything had been ready for ages. Rehearsals had gone smoothly, assistants were in place, yet the man looked on the verge of collapse. One of the girls from our group dared to approach him and ask if everything was all right. The poor thing was met with such a torrent of instructions and corrections that she didn’

  • Claimed by Two Brothers   Epilogue

    EpilogueEveryone who passed by the CEO’s office felt not just awkwardness but genuine fear. Several employees had already been fired simply for crossing Darvin’s path at the wrong moment. Stas walked past the sixth secretary hired that year and entered the office without knocking.“Vlad, even your own employees have started complaining to me,” he said, getting straight to the point as he sat down on the couch across from his brother. Vlad looked darker than a thundercloud, and no one seemed to understand why. “Maybe you can explain why people have been afraid to approach you for almost a year now?”Vlad raised his right hand.“What do you see?”“Your fingers…”“And what should have been on one of those fingers for at least a year now?”“Enough with the riddles. Are you like this because you and Nina still aren’t married? That depends entirely on you—just propose already. Honestly, I’ve been wondering myself why you still haven’t done it.”“I already have. Four times…”“Oh, come on, e

    AlinaAnd so the day had finally arrived, yet the decision still hadn’t been made. My heart felt as though it were being torn apart, but did I really have a choice? Of course I did—become a single mother, or go on living as if nothing had ever happened. Both options made my knees tremble with fear.I had grown up surrounded by love and tenderness, care and peace, and it was hard for me to imagine how life could suddenly sweep me into a whirlwind of troubles.The cool September air made me shiver, and I wrapped my coat more tightly around myself. Dampness and gloom had settled over the world so abruptly that there had been no chance to catch my breath between the two seasons. Everything had happened too quickly. Just recently I had been a happy bride-to-be, but after choosing happiness over a promising husband, I had ended up a pregnant woman no one seemed to want.Of course I hadn’t told my parents anything. I was too ashamed of what I had done to even admit it to myself.I crossed th

    At the entrance to the shabby old building, a well-dressed man in a dark business suit was already waiting for me.“Good morning, Mrs. Nina,” he said, handing me a folder with documents and a key. “The building now belongs entirely to you. There’s no need to pay any rent.”“Thank you,” I replied quietly, taking the items from his outstretched hand.After watching the stranger walk away—the man who had never even bothered to introduce himself—I turned my gaze back to the building.I had once spent so much time here that it was impossible to measure it properly. Sometimes I even stayed overnight. This place had been my sanctuary, the one where every object seemed to fill me with inspiration for new creations.I slipped the key into the lock, and the door creaked open.The sharp rhythm of my heels echoed across the tiled floor and bounced off the walls. The cool air inside the room, mixed with a faint trace of dampness, stirred pleasant memories in my mind.I opened the main door and fro

    There was so much gratitude in my gaze that I could never have put it all into words. I had imagined countless times how I would explain to my son who his real father was, but Max had managed to do it almost effortlessly, as if by magic.“Thank you,” I said softly, stepping closer to him.Max took my hand and replied,“I have a request.”“Anything,” I answered honestly.Max leaned closer to my ear and whispered so quietly that only I could hear him.“Please… don’t disappear from my life. Stay in it at least as a friend.”I looked at him in surprise, but still nodded and smiled.Suddenly, as if someone had grabbed a kitten by the scruff of its neck, I was yanked backward. A strong hand settled on my shoulders, and an irritated voice sounded right beside my face.“What are you two lovebirds whispering about?”“Unexpected…” Max said with a faint smile. “So you are jealous after all, Darvin.”He turned his back to us.“If you don’t take good care of her, I’ll steal her away.”“Ni-na…” the

    The man sat down across from the smug old man and braced himself for a difficult conversation. It became clear almost immediately that the boy was being held somewhere else. It would have been foolish to assume that such a valuable hostage would be kept within easy reach. This had all been a carefully orchestrated game designed to lure him exactly where they wanted him.“Well, here we are at last, face to face, Darvin,” the man said, flashing two rows of less-than-perfect teeth in a broad grin. “You know, you’re the spitting image of Emelyan. For a moment it almost feels like he’s the one sitting in front of me.”“Where is my son?” Darvin asked quietly, struggling to contain the rage coiled inside his fist. His fingers dug so hard into his palm that the skin beneath them turned red.“He’s perfectly fine. But his future depends entirely on you now. I had my suspicions from the very beginning that Sasha wasn’t my son’s child. That’s why I sent that nanny into your house. And she confirm

    Father had taken a few blows, but overall he looked more or less fine. I looked at both of my parents and asked, struggling to keep the surge of fury inside me under control.“Why did you open the door? Couldn’t you have called us first when a stranger showed up at the doorstep?”Mother’s expression turned serious as she finished tending to my husband’s wound.“My dear, he wasn’t a stranger—that’s why I opened the door. The girl said she was your friend, and Sasha recognized her.”“A girl?” I asked in surprise. “What did Sasha call her?”“The nanny.”I slowly sank onto the couch and went still.How could that be? Could it really have been Nastya? But why would she do something like that?“Was it Nastya who hit you on the head like that?” I asked my father, glancing over my shoulder to where Darvin and Vanya were reviewing footage from the city cameras.“No. Two men burst in right after her and took the child. We tried to stop them, but… you can see how that turned out,” Mom said quiet
