Interlude: Chapter 13
Amy
You could cut the tension inside the SUV with a knife.
She knew Dimitri was itching to talk but she kept her distance. Finally, they arrived at the Baranov’s country estate. Dimitri walked around to open the door for her as he usually does. Linking their arms, they walked towards the mansion. He could not keep his eyes off her as Anya had predicted. Although she loved the look he gave her, she vowed never to feel his intimate touch again.
Lizabeta spotted the two of them first. Amy could not help but smile when the older lady walked towards them. “Amaranthe!” she cried out and wrapped her daughter-in-law in a tight embrace. She glanced up to her son and glared at him. “Dimitri.” She greeted him with a tight smile as he placed a kiss on her cheek. Lizabeta turned to Amy. “How are you feeling, dear? Anya said you were as white as a sheet when she went to visit you.” Amy looked at her in surprise. She h

DimitriDimitri stared at Sergei as he made out with yet another one of the socialites and shook his head. Sergei caught his eye and smirked, “What? The future Pakhan too whipped to have some fun?” he laughs and gestures to one of the socialites to go over to Dimitri, but he gave them a cold look and shook his head. “Leave, both of you.” He hissed out while nodding towards the hall, and watched the two blondes scurry away. Then he spun and scowled at Sergei, “You need to get your shit together, Sergei.” He tells his best friend and right hand while handing him a cigar. “One day Anya will catch you with one of your whores and slit your throat.”Sergei laughs and takes the cigar from him, “Even if she found out about them, what does she care? She has the money and status she’s always wanted.” He says and Dimitri shakes his head, slapping the latter’s shoulder, “Anya had all tho
December's Symphony: A Mafia Trinity Novel Intermission - Dimitri Baranov
There is a war brewing.Our territory was breached, and we had a traitor in our midst. Father called for a meeting this morning, and I’ve been itching to sink my knives into Outfit scum since I saw the pain in my Amaranthe’s eyes. They had no idea who they have gone up against. The New York Bratva have been laying low for over 20 years, but I think it’s time we go back to our Russian roots. No more playing nice. I arrive early and walk into what was left of the country home’s hall, asking Lev and Boris to check the perimeter. I spot my father pacing the floor and mumbling to himself, this could never be a good sign. Approaching him cautiously, I call out. “Papa?” and his head and arm whip up towards me and I notice he’s holding his Beretta. I put my hands up in surrender, “Uspokoysya, Papa, it’s me. What’s going on?” I ask him to calm down while walking towards him and intending to take the gun a

The doctor discharged Amy a day later. She had one broken rib, a few bruised ones, and a sprained wrist. No vital organs were damaged in the fall. Anya’s pregnancy was also revealed to an overjoyed Sergei, but she was put on bed rest and told not to overexert herself. Lizabeta was nowhere to be found. Viktor had torn the country house down to look for his wife, and they concluded that Lizabeta had been taken by The Outfit as revenge.They arrived at the penthouse and Amy could not help but conceive this as home. She looked up at Dimitri and smiled; he had admitted that he was in love with her. Wrapping her arms around her husband, she sighed. They stayed in comfortable silence as they retreated into their bedroom, with Amy stealing casual glances at her husband. He was the calm Dimitri she loved, but there was something hidden behind his smile. “You need rest, moye solntse.” He murmured as he kissed her cheek and carried her over to the bed, tucking

DimitriDimitri plays with his Karambit knife with a look of resignation on his face. He never thought Amaranthe would feel this way about him, and so intensely. But alas, he needed to push his wife out of his thoughts in order to fulfill this mission. Sergei spots the look in his eyes and nods, “I know. Duty calls for retribution.” He says with understanding and Dimitri nods.Duty calls for retribution. The Outfit would regret the day they decided to take on the Baranov Bratva. Snapping into his Brigadier role, he starts barking orders, “Sergei you and your five soldiers will hit their underboss in Lincoln Park. Leave no survivors.” Sergei nods as Dimitri explains the plan further. They would not go in guns blazing, this would be carefully planned on the way into Chicago. Dominik left trails after dealing with The Outfit’s Capo, even how to overthrow the bastard. Seems like his uncle was planning to take them down after b

AmyAmy stretched her arm out and feels the vacant spot beside her. Was last night all in her head? She feels the dull ache in her nether regions and knew it could not have been a dream. Then where was Dimitri? She lifted the covers off her body and her eyes fell on the crimson stains on Dimitri’s side of the bed. She knew he needed a doctor, but he would refuse to go.She put on her nightgown and headed downstairs to get some breakfast. As she reached the bottom, she was about to round the corner to Dimitri’s study when she heard his voice emanating inside. He sounded furious as he cursed in Russian. Taking a wary step back, she heads over to the coffeemaker and poured herself a cup of the already brewed coffee. Amy did not know what to expect from her husband when he would step out of his study. Would he be the silent Brigadier who had just come back from war? Or would he be her kind Dimitri who called her his sunshine? She was terrified

8 pm and Amy drags herself into the penthouse elevator. Today had been her first day at the Philharmonic and it was amazing. She enjoyed being surrounded by people who loved music as much as she did, and she left feeling full and inspired but also exhausted.The elevator arrived at the penthouse and Amy stepped into darkness. “What the hell?” she exclaimed as she walked out but Alexei pulled her back, “Stay behind,” he hissed to her and she complied. With her eyes adjusting to the dark, she noticed a body laying on the floor in the kitchen. Stifling a scream, she pulled Alexei’s arm before he could walk away and nudged towards the body. He nods and starts retreating backward. “I need to take you back to the car,” he said to her and she gripped him tighter when suddenly she got pulled out of the elevator, a hand covered her mouth as her scream was muffled. The body did not feel familiar at all, and she felt a knife against her throat,

AmyShe feels Dimitri stir next to her, then gets out of bed. Tossing and turning all night, Amy had not been able to sleep at all after they were intimate, but he fell asleep almost immediately as if his dreams did not bother him.She watched him as he walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and stared at nothing, running his fingers through his long hair as if he was deep in thought. His long hair would probably need to be trimmed soon as it reached past his shoulder blades. He turned around to look at her ‘sleeping’ frame, then headed to his walk-in. She got out of bed and walked over to him, his back was facing her while he put on his jockeys and black suit pants. Walking towards him, she slipped her arms around his waist, laying her head on his back.“Did I wake you?” he asks quietly, and she lightly shakes her head. “I couldn’t sleep,” She inhaled his Armani scent again and held him closer to h

They were sending his parents off at the airport today, Viktor Baranov had been faithful to his word about leaving New York for his homeland. He and Amaranthe would move into the country home by next week and Sergei has taken control of more than half of Chicago. An accomplishment he entrusted his Brigadier would be more than competent to execute. “Mama, don’t be sad! Dimitri and I will visit!” His wife held his mother in her arms as the older woman was inconsolable.Viktor walked over to him and put an arm on his shoulder, “I am proud of you. You made those in Chicago tremble at the Baranov name, I leave the legacy to you.” He says and Dimitri returns the gesture. Viktor has become softer in his old age, and Dimitri wondered how it w
