CHAPTER 32: The Plan

The hidden safehouse was cold and functional because Svetlan had chosen it himself, and there was no luxury here, no comfort, no warmth—just a table, a map, and the harsh light of a single bulb overhead since they couldn't afford any distractions.

Anton was already there when Svetlan arrived, and he was leaning over the map with his arms crossed and his expression cold because he had been studying the holding location for hours, memorizing every detail.

"You're late," Anton

    CHAPTER 32: The PlanThe hidden safehouse was cold and functional because Svetlan had chosen it himself, and there was no luxury here, no comfort, no warmth—just a table, a map, and the harsh light of a single bulb overhead since they couldn't afford any distractions.Anton was already there when Svetlan arrived, and he was leaning over the map with his arms crossed and his expression cold because he had been studying the holding location for hours, memorizing every detail."You're late," Anton said without looking up."I'm not late." Svetlan shrugged off his coat and tossed it onto a chair because he was already irritated, already tired of this mess. "I'm exactly on time. You're just impatient."Anton didn't respond because he didn't care about Svetlan's excuses, and he didn't care about Svetlan's feelings since there was only one thing that mattered—getting Krasny back.Svetlan poured himself a glass of whiskey because he needed something to steady his nerves, and he took a long sip

  • Deadly rivalry:His greatest weakness    THE REVEAL

    CHAPTER 31: The RevealThe private room was secure and isolated because Dimitri had chosen it himself, and there were no windows, no exits except the one door, and no one within earshot since this conversation was for their inner circle only.Alexei arrived first because he was always early, and his face was grim since he didn't know what to expect, although he had been with Dimitri long enough to know that something was happening.Mikhail arrived a few minutes later because he had been with Nikolai since the beginning, and he nodded at Alexei as he took his place against the wall since they had fought together, bled together, and trusted each other.The others filed in one by one because Dimitri had summoned them personally, and there were five of them in total—men who had proven their loyalty, men who had kept their secrets, men who deserved to know the truth.Dimitri stood at the head of the room with his arms crossed and his expression unreadable, while Nikolai stood beside him be

  • Deadly rivalry:His greatest weakness    THE HUNT

    CHAPTER 30: The HuntThe morning light filtered through the boarded-up windows of the safehouse as the city was waking up beyond the walls, and the smell of coffee drifted through the small kitchen because Nikolai was making breakfast.Dimitri sat at the table and watched him, and there was something soft in his eyes since he had never seen Nikolai like this—domestic, unhurried, human—and he found that he liked it more than he expected."You're staring," Nikolai said without turning around, his voice light."I'm admiring.""Same thing." Nikolai glanced over his shoulder and grinned, and it was the same infuriating grin that had driven Dimitri crazy for three years, although now it made something warm bloom in his chest instead of cold fury.He moved slowly as he worked since the wound on his side was still healing, and Dimitri noticed the way he winced when he reached for the plates, although he didn't say anything because he knew Nikolai would only brush it off.When the food was rea

  • Deadly rivalry:His greatest weakness    THE VICTORY

    CHAPTER 29: The VictoryThey arrived at the safehouse in the early hours of the morning as the city was still dark around them, and Nikolai was leaning heavily on Dimitri since the blood loss had made him weak and unsteady on his feet.Dimitri guided him inside and helped him onto the bed because the wound on his side was still bleeding through the bandage, and he needed to be tended to before it got worse."Sit still," Dimitri said as he gathered the first-aid kit from the bathroom, his voice firm though his hands were steady since he had done this a hundred times before.Nikolai obeyed because he was too exhausted to argue, and he watched Dimitri work as his eyes were half-closed and his breathing was shallow.Dimitri knelt beside the bed and peeled away the old bandage to reveal the wound beneath, his jaw tightening as he saw how deep the knife had gone since it was worse than he had thought."This is going to hurt," Dimitri warned as he soaked a cloth in antiseptic."It already hu

  • Deadly rivalry:His greatest weakness    THE INTERROGATION

    CHAPTER 28: The Interrogation Two days had passed since the raid, although the memory of it was still fresh as the blood had barely dried on Dimitri's hands, and the weight of what they had survived pressed down on both of them like a physical thing.Nikolai's wound had been stitched and bandaged by a doctor who owed them favors, and he had been ordered to rest, though he had ignored that order the moment Dimitri told him they were moving.They brought Krasny to a secure warehouse on Dimitri's territory since it was soundproof and isolated, and no one would hear anything that happened within its walls as that was the point.The room was cold and dark and industrial with a single chair in the center and a single light overhead, while the shadows pressed in from every corner as Krasny was dragged inside and forced into the chair.His leg wound had been roughly bandaged since they needed him alive, and he was pale from blood loss and pain, although his eyes were still sharp and defiant

  • Deadly rivalry:His greatest weakness    THE RAID

    CHAPTER 27: The Raid They moved out at midnight under a moonless sky, and the city was silent around them as they slipped through the streets toward the eastern border where Krasny's hideout waited like a wound in the darkness.Dimitri rode in the lead vehicle with Nikolai beside him and Alexei in the front seat, and behind them came three more vehicles filled with their most trusted men, all of them armed and ready and silent because they knew what was at stake.Mikhail was in the second vehicle with his own team, and his voice crackled through the radio as they approached the target. "We're in position.""Good," Dimitri replied, his voice flat and commanding. "Wait for my signal."The warehouse loomed ahead, a rotting skeleton of rusted steel and shattered glass surrounded by chain-link fences and abandoned cars, and Dimitri studied it through the binoculars as his instincts screamed that something was wrong."It's too quiet," he murmured, and Nikolai nodded beside him since he fel
