LELLA

I'm inside the black SUV for a long moment with my hand hovering over the door handle.

​Technically, I didn't have to be here. As the wife of Viktor Volkonsky, the man who now holds the majority stake in Valerius Pharmaceutical, I could have spent my morning lounging in our penthouse or shopping on Fifth Avenue.

But the lab was the only place where I felt like Lella. I was a junior researcher, and I wasn't ready to let a marriage certificate erase my dream.

So, get out of there, Lella, b

    LELLAKaterina’s eyes widened, darting to the heavy drapes as if praying for anyone to burst through. “Speak.” I gritted my teeth.When she realized no one was coming, she swallowed hard as the arrogance she had displayed in the lounge completely vanished under my grip.​"I... I don't know what you're talking about," she stammered as she tried to twist her arm out of my hold. "I'm a guest here–"​I pressed my forearm directly against her throat, cutting off her air just enough to make her gasp. "Don't play dumb with me. You were bragging to your friends that you were untouchable because you had already climbed into Viktor Volkonsky's bed in Moscow. Clearly, I am his wife. If you lie to me, I will make sure the next place you visit is the bottom of the Hudson River."​A tear of terror leaked from the corner of her eye, ruining her mascara. “It was a script! It was just a script, I swear!” Her hands came up to claw weakly at my jacket sleeves. I didn't loosen my grip. "Explain."​"

    LELLAI stared down at my screen as the news unfolded before my eyes. It hadn't even been an hour, and yet headline after headline was flashing across the global syndicate forums.​’Spanish Heiress Steps Out with Conrad Volkonsky in New York.’‘A Split in the Empire? Viktor Volkonsky’s Wife Spotted in the Arms of His Nephew.’And the last one I am now reading is a completely informative article.‘Lorelei Volkonsky was seen attending an exclusive event with her ex, Conrad Volkonsky, who is also the nephew of her husband, Viktor Volkonsky.’ Wow! Just wow.​The paparazzi snapshots from the entrance of the Diamond District lounge were already circulating like wildfire. My phone was vibrating so violently in my palm and Viktor's name flashed across the screen over and over again with a relentless barrage of nonstop incoming calls. He knew exactly where I was, and I knew, with terrifying certainty, that he was absolutely furious.​But I didn't care. I let the phone ring out as the buzzin

    VIKTORThe conference table was lined with the top executives of Russia’s largest energy conglomerates and the highest-ranking members of my own inner circle. ​But I couldn't focus on a single word they were saying.​Beneath the edge of the table, my fingers are pressing the redial for the fifth time with my airpods intact to my ear.It just keeps ringing.My jaw clenched.​I disconnected and immediately dialed Lev's private line. It rang out to the very end before cutting off. I tried the secondary security detail stationed at the New York penthouse. No one was answering. The entire grid around my wife had gone completely dark.Worry is starting to grow in my gut.Lella never kept her phone off, not after everything that had happened. Thomas and Lev knew that missing a call from me was a punishable offense. For the connection to be severed like this meant only two things: either my security protocols had been violently breached, or Lella was intentionally hiding from me. Both option

    LELLAConrad leaned back against the velvet booth, and a smug smile spread across his face as he gestured to the empty seat opposite him.“Please, sit."​I simply slid into the booth and immediately reached into my bag. Without a single word, I open my phone and find that one photo Sofia had sent me from that night at the club. A candid shot of the gorgeous woman who had targeted Joaquin and bragged about my husband.​I slid the phone across the marble table, planting my finger firmly on the glass.​"Do you know her? Or more importantly, do you still have access to the roster of every pretty girl hanging out in that specific VIP lounge? Because I know nothing happens in that district without your name attached to it."​Conrad looked down at the screen, and for a second, his smug expression wavered into surprise. Then, he let out a chuckle, shaking his head as he looked back up at me.​"Well, well." He leaned his chin on his hand as his eyes glinted with amusement. "I have to admit, Le

    LELLAThe lukewarm water of the bathtub swirled around my shoulders, but it did nothing to wash away the suspicion settling deep into my chest. I stared at the ceiling as my mind spun out of control.​Viktor.​My own brother’s words from earlier kept echoing in my ears, shattering the peace I had found after the family dinner. ​Why would he? The question tore at my throat. Viktor was fiercely protective of me. He had given me his unspoken devotion. Was I just being naive? Is he really telling the truth about wanting to build a family with me?​I sat up instantly, causing the water to splash against the porcelain. I grabbed my phone off the marble ledge, but my fingers paused and stared at Viktor’s name in my contacts.​I wanted to press the call. I wanted to demand the truth, to hear it from his voice, but the phone call was cowardly, and Viktor was too smart. He could mask his tone over a line. No. I will demand a face-to-face confrontation. I needed to look into his eyes to know

    LELLAI followed Papa through the long corridor of the restaurant toward another private VIP room. I took a deep breath, trying to settle the lingering adrenaline in my veins.​Behind this door was the woman who had broken my mother's heart, alongside the one-month-old baby girl she had given birth to just days after my own wedding.Papa pushed the door and I braced myself for the wave of resentment I expected to feel. But the scene inside instantly caught me off guard. I wasn't shocked to find Sofia and Joaquin already there. Sofia was gently cradling the tiny bundle in her arms, while Joaquin leaned over her shoulder with a soft warmth on his face.​The moment the door shut behind me, Joaquin snapped his head up. His eyes widened in shock to see me standing there, knowing the deep, bitter history I shared with our father's new life.​But I didn't look at Joaquin and at my stepmother, Eliza, who sat anxiously on the nearby plush sofa, holding her breath.​My gaze was instantly fixed

    LELLA“You're hungry…” I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding, my shoulders dropping an inch. “Okay, I'll just call the nurse–”“I want a Spanish tortilla since we're in Spain.”My eyes widened.Spanish tortilla? Does he remember?I stared at him with a frown as my mind had been racing

    LELLA​The words hit me harder than the truck had hit his car. I felt the color drain from my face, my knees buckling until I had to grab the edge of the guest chair for support. After the fire, after the tears, after everything… he suddenly didn't know me?​"Viktor, don't joke," a hysterical laug

    LELLAMy breath hitched in my throat, and a cold sweat broke out across my skin. “F-Fiancee?” I whispered as I turned pale.Me? He's going to meet me today?I'm confused. I'm deeply confused right now!​"What's wrong?" Viktor asked with his furrowed brows as he took a slow step toward me. "You loo

    LELLA​I didn't press him further. Every time I opened my mouth to argue, I remembered the sting of my father's slap and the way Viktor had looked at the bruise. I spent the rest of the flight staring out the window, watching the Atlantic disappear beneath us, feeling like I was being delivered st
