Interlude: Chapter 9
Amy
As Saturday loomed closer, Amy was starting to become more anxious. She did not like any of the dresses in her walk-in, so she decided to go shopping alone for the first time since she moved to New York. Being nervous, she called Lizabeta for advice.
“Amaranthe! How delightful to hear from you, love. I am sorry for my absence; I have been busy organizing the Black and White ball and snowed-in with work. How have you been?” her mother-in-law gushes and Amy immediately smiled. “I have been well, Mama. I’m actually calling for some guidance.” She answers honestly. She was not certain where to go shopping or what to get. Being Dimitri’s wife now, she knew she needed to look and act a certain way. “Hmm? Is my son not treating you well? Must I have a word with him?” She asks, a playful edge to her voice that caused Amy to chuckle loudly.
“No, mama! Dimitri is good to me, I can assure you,&rdquo

AmyWhen they came back to the penthouse, Amy invited Anya in but said Sergei had texted her and wanted her to come home instantly. Something happened, and the discontent brewing was building to a peak. He wanted Anya to be safe at home. “See you Saturday, Ran-Ran!” Anya called as they pulled away and Amy waved goodbye with a smile. They were still in the private parking area when her cellphone rang.It was Dimitri.Still hurt from what she learned this afternoon, she let his call go to voicemail. Mentally chastising herself, she was reminded that Dimitri had the right to have his needs fulfilled elsewhere, for she had given him permission on their wedding night. As soon as they were in the elevator, Alexei’s cellphone rings, “Boss,” he addressed, and a few moments later turned to her and gave her the phone.Amy sighs and answers, “Dimitri,” she greeted him blandly. It was not his fault that he wa

AmyAmy awoke to Dimitri trailing his thumb down her back, the previous night still vivid in her mind. With a smile spreading across her face, she lazily angles to face him but feels a dull twinge in her lower regions. “Ow,” she groans, and Dimitri sat up, a guilty grimace appearing on his face. “Hey, it’s okay. I’m sure it’s normal.” Amy says before he started fussing over nothing. She strokes his cheek where the bullet grazed his face and he smiles, bringing her closer to him. “Good morning,” she says, sleep lacing her tone. Settling her head down on his chest, Dimitri kissed her hair and grins, “Are you certain you’re feeling okay, Amaranthe?” he asked her, his voice still interwoven with concern and she nods while snuggling further into his embrace. “I promise I’m okay. I’ll take another Advil after breakfast if that will make you feel better?” she replies, try

AmyAmy opens her eyes and struggles to focus her eyesight. Alexei was standing by the bed and she immediately thought that was odd; Dimitri would never allow him to stand by her bed. “Alexei?” she calls faintly, her throat parched. Alexei heads over to her, a look of concern in his eyes. “Amaranthe,” he calls out and flies to her, placing a palm lightly on her shoulder. She frowns at his reaction, then she glances around the room and froze.She was not in the penthouse; this was a hospital room. Sitting up in bed, she gestures to Alexei for a glass of water and inhales it completely while searching around the room. “What happened, Alexei?” she eventually asks as he takes the glass from her. He steps over to her bedside and leans down, “It seems you had a massive anxiety attack, Amaranthe. You’ve been here since yesterday evening.” He explained to her, and the image came back of her clasping her che

AmyYou 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
