Vera

To the untrained outside eye, my plan was as simple as they come, survive another day. It had never required much thought before.

Just obedience.

But nothing had ever been easy about surviving a power struggle in the bratva.

I eyed the pile of clothes laying around in my new closet, unimpressed.

To carry out dangerous acts of rebellion, clothes were the most important armour.

For what I needed tonight, blending in wasn’t enough.

I needed to be seen.

I reach for a black dress, hold it up br

  • His To Claim    Chapter 22

    NikolaiThere was no way Vera walked into Truth without knowing I'd be alerted that second. I barely restrain myself from rushing out after Pavel's call. All he said was, “Vera is here with friends.”“With friends.”That part lingers longer than it should. Those five words were delivered in the same flat tone he used for everything, as if he hadn’t just dropped something a bomb in my lap. Pavel was only ever at Truth this late. I should have prohibited her from going to that club, locked her in her room and thrown away the key.Not that its occurrence was off the table. I could have worked perfectly well without knowing that bit of information. The made up guest room was all the information I had needed. Something had prompted Vera to move out of my room and something could just as easily bring her back. There’s no reason for me to give a fuck where she was. It was a fact that she was my wife, roommate or not, that wasn't going to change. But “with friends" rang over in my hea

The pink dress was very short and very backless. I could do glittery makeup with gold heels. It would do. Truth wasn’t the kind of place you walked into unprepared. Not if you wanted something out of it.And I had a beast of a request.Before I overthink and talk myself out of it, I dial Nadia and Katya into a conference call.“Girls,” I chirp.Nadia groans immediately. “W

    Nikolai Besides Dimitri no one has seen me without my mask and lived to tell the tale. If that was why he killed the whole motorcycle club, I couldn't say. When I enter the warehouse, Dimitri is already there leaning against the wall and fumbling with his phone. In the opposite corner with his face to the floor lies Erjon, the man we picked up earlier. His legs are bound with silver duct tape around his ankles and knees. His hands are tied behind his back. A dirty rag protrudes from his mouth.His eyes widen as they land on my now covered face but his pathetic attempt at shuffling away wasn't going to keep him away from me. “How are you here already?” I asked dumbfounded but not at all surprised. Dimitri worked at all times in mysterious ways. “That’s for me to know.” He replies without looking up. “Should I call Pavel to handle the information extraction?”“I'm here already, aren't I?”Dimitri tilts his face. “And you won't mind getting your hands dirty?”“It has its perks once

    VeraI stare at my father eyes wide for what feels like eternity but it couldn't have been more than ten seconds. “You want me to spy on my husband?”“Let's not forget who said husband is.” He berates in the same condescending tone I had gotten used to. “That's not something I'll likely forget anytime soon. But what do you think he'll do to me if he fucking finds out?”My words spill out and it feels like I had been slapped in the face with them. Surely I wasn't considering… there was no way on earth I was going to spy on Nikolai. For all his many faults, my head wouldn't look pretty in any kind of delivery bag. “Don't tell me you've grown soft on me.” Sergi pulled out his chair and sat. “They forced my hand with the marriage. I intend to find a way to make it useful for us.”“And how is my spying on him going to help?”“I'll decide that.”Of course he will. “But you also know I’ve only ever done what is required of me when I understand why.” I hold his gaze. “So explain it to me.

  • His To Claim    Chapter 18

    NikolaiWhatever Vera does to Anya she'll probably deserve and Dimitri certainly wouldn't let Anya do anything to my wife. So I turn to more important matters. It took a while but eventually I found an Albanian group hidden in a motorcycle club and asked Dimitri to meet up there. The fucker was running late.There’s a sound of an engine nearing, purring softer than a motorcycle,and a few seconds later Dimitri's motorcycle parks next to my sleek black sedan. When he managed to ditch the car after dropping Anya off, I have no idea. Dimitri steps off as I step out of the vehicle. He stares at me for a few seconds, then bursts out laughing. “Are you fucking kidding me?” “What’s wrong?” “What’s wrong?” He motions with his hand in my general direction. “You do not come to a motorcycle club in a fucking three-piece suit. They’ll think we’re the fucking authorities.” “Oh, and what should I have worn to this meeting?” “Jeans, Nikolai. You do know what those are, don’t you?” “I don’t

    VeraWithout a doubt Anya was going to remain alive for the foreseeable future if her lurking guards had any say in the matter. Dmitri stepped into view like he had been summoned.His presence stacked the odds against me. He wasn't going to let me do anything foolish to her. “Why are we stopping?” Katya asked from the backseat, her tone light but edged with curiosity.“You wish for her to proceed?” Pavel asked with an eyebrow raised. It was increasingly becoming his favorite mode of communication. Katya shrugged. “I was looking forward to it.”Not bothering to spare either of them a glance, my attention stayed fixed ahead, on the entrance of the hotel.I narrowed my eyes slightly, watching the way Anya moved. She looked exactly the way she had in her pictures. Fucking perfect. My gaze shifted, dragging away from Anya to the men positioned around the entrance.One near the pillar.Two across the driveway.One by the glass door.I watched one of the men turn slightly. His gaze swep

    Nikolai's POV “When can we expect payment from the Morozov’s?” Philip asks as he turns the page of his thick old ledger. “In two days,” I reply approaching the table and take a seat across from him. “Why the fuck won’t you let Dimitri get you a laptop? You can’t keep, documenting our financial

    NikolaiThere were three categories of foolish people I did not like to meet, ever. Number one, people who could not remain loyal. The reason for that is quite obvious, if I could not trust you I would rather you stayed with the other billions of humans that I did not personally know. Loyalty took

    Vera Dressing up had been nice. I wore long black jeans and a white top with so many ropes. It had one around my neck, on each of my wrists, on my waist, and somewhere on my back. Then I paired my attire with white heels. If I had not become an artist I could have done very well as a stylist. A

    NikolaiThe early morning light filters through the curtains, casting soft shadows across Vera's sleeping face. I watch her for a moment longer than necessary, memorizing the peaceful curve of her lips, the way her hair spills across the pillow like silk.Last night, I'd been convinced I'd lost her
