She and I headed to the kitchen because she could apparently make the best mimosas. She moved her way through the kitchen like a pro. She made mimosas that were very strong but hit like a bitch.

“Oh, I would love to swim right now,” she said. “Unfortunately, I don’t have a swimsuit with me.”

“You can borrow mine. I think we are the same size.”

She and I went to my bedroom and rummaged through my closet to find something for her to wear. She was way more fun than I thought she would be. She told me all about her childhood, and I told her about mine.

I didn’t lie to her—just omitted that they happened in Italy and not in Chicago. I, however, didn’t tell her anything that would make me look suspicious if she repeated the same words to Nikita.

Once we found the perfect baby pink one piece for her, we both changed into the costumes. I was in a black one-piece.

We went to the heated infinity pool in the mansion and conversed as we laughed and sipped some more mimosas.

“You live here, huh?”

  • Don Maxim's Plaything   Dirty Tactics

    After having coffee and chatting with my friends, we were finally done and we left. I went my own separate way and they went on theirs. My guards were waiting for me by my car so that they could make sure I was safe. But as I was walking there, I heard noises coming from the alley.Someone was crying and I had to check it out. But if it was a woman, they wouldn’t appreciate me coming with a bunch of men to comfort her. My father always told me that this need to save people and rescue them from problems was going to one day lead me in trouble, but I couldn’t turn my back on someone I knew needed my help.You could call it a savior complex, but I called it basic empathy and humanity.“Wait here. I’ll go check what’s going on.”“The boss—”“He’s not here if something happens I’ll definitely scream. Besides, I can be able to take care of myself. I think the woman who is crying will not appreciate the sight of you.”They shot each other skeptical looks, but they ultimately agreed because

  • Don Maxim's Plaything   Girls

    We went back to our house where Nikita was waiting. He hadn’t been able to make it to the mansion in time to confront Mikhail. However, he had been informed that Maxim had given Mikhail a warning that if he continued with his antics, he would force his hand and he would have to do something bad to him.I personally thought the whole situation was crazy and I needed to talk to Sonya so that I could hear what Kira thought. Since she was dating Mika, she could at least convince him to stop whatever he was doing because he was playing a very dangerous game.“Do you think he will back down?” I asked.Maxim shook his head no.“There is no chance of that happening, at least not that I can see. As long as Moya is still around and influencing him, he will do whatever it takes to ascend to the throne. Make no mistake, he’s not stupid. He knows he’s fighting a losing game and I think he has an ace card up his sleeve or else he wouldn’t be so confident.”I couldn’t even understand what cards hi

  • Don Maxim's Plaything   Confrontations II (Maxim)

    “My mother is not leading me to make bad decisions. She knows what’s best for me and she’s the only one who knows what I am capable of. Livia doesn’t even know you that well and you let her do whatever she wants.”I was shocked that he was bringing my wife into it when it wasn’t even about her. It seemed like he wanted to blame her for all he was doing when his mother was the culprit. He forgot he loved her before his mother poisoned his head with ideas.It is so typical of him to avoid the blame and instead shift the attention to someone else. It was a flaw he had, and I thought we had it under control, but as soon as his mother came back into the picture, he was suddenly back to his old ways.“This isn’t about her and I don’t want you to mention her again because she’s my family now. I married her and I will take full responsibility for the decision she and I make.”“She’s—““Why are you shifting the subject to her? She’s not the one who’s planning to take the throne from right unde

  • Don Maxim's Plaything   Confrontations (Maxim)

    I didn’t want Liivia to come with me to confront my brother, but she finally convinced me to let her. She said she wanted to be a part of it just as much as I was because it was all her fault.I specifically told her that it wasn’t her fault, but she insisted that if it wasn’t for her, Moya wouldn’t have had an excuse to hate on me and convince Mikhail that I was the bad guy and he was supposed to be the new leader.After some pouting and her giving me the silent treatment, I finally agreed. I hated that I was forced to bring my fucking soldiers with me when going to have a conversation with my brother.However, I had to be safe. He was someone I no longer recognized and I couldn’t take chances because I didn’t know what he had planned.I was supposed to go over there guns blazing, hoping he wouldn’t attack me and kill me in the process. That was the kind of person our mother had turned us into. When I started leading the Russian mafia, I hoped to have only people I trusted in my corn

  • Don Maxim's Plaything   A New Life

    The drive to where Maxine was taking me was longer than it was when he and I went to his mansion. I was so excited that I could barely hide it.I was one person who loved surprises so much that I couldn’t think of anything else. With Maxim, I knew his surprises were going to be over the top and they were going to make me swoon and be happy.Once we arrived there, he covered my eyes with a blindfold. From the main road, we traveled a few meters before I heard a gate open.From the gate, we went another few meters before it finally came to a halt. He got out of the car first and helped me out of it so I wouldn’t fall.He held my hand as he guided me forward. I could smell fresh air as well as the subtle chirp of birds. I could also hear a stream running.I couldn’t tell whether it was a fountain or a river. I didn’t know Moscow to have any rivers so I assumed it was the former.“Come on, you can take my blindfold out now. I know we’ve arrived.”Maxine seemed to follow my orders and remo

  • Don Maxim's Plaything   Questions

    “What happened? You two are back from your honeymoon so soon? This is less time than I even predicted. I knew that man couldn’t stay away from his job longer than he needed to. He’s addicted to his work.”I could only laugh in response because I knew she was right. “How was Thailand?”“It was beautiful. I have a lot to tell you but I am afraid we don’t have enough time.”She agreed and we planned to hang out soon so we could gossip and catch up.“Why can’t we tell Kira you’re back?” She suddenly asked. I wondered how I was going to phrase the whole thing. Sonya was also close to Mikhail and the whole situation was crazy. Plus, I wasn’t sure if he was really planning to take over or people were just spreading rumors because they knew the two brothers weren’t getting along at the moment.“We had to come back. This wasn’t something I was even going to stop him from doing. Things are not going great.”Sonya looked worried. She had started slowly taking over her duties from her father. F
