Faina Green

Two years had passed since Michael Holloway first walked through the door of our home, and the mansion had found a strange, fragile rhythm. The chaos of the quintuplets — now eight years old and twice as loud — still filled every hallway, but Darya had changed. At fourteen, my daughter was no longer the little girl who ran to me with scraped knees and endless questions. She had grown tall and graceful, with my cur

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 121 — THE APARTMENT 

    At night, in my apartment, I observe the wine-red dress I sketched during my visit to Maison Dumont, now hanging on the mannequin.Illusion neckline—toide microphones. A high waist—forccessing weapons. A secret pocket—foroisons.A mafiosa must always be prepared, wouldn't you agree?In the mirror, two Daryas stare back at me:On the left: Daughter of Faina Green, who knows 14 ways to kill with a hatpin.On the right: Award-winning Parsons student, who cries the first time she sees Chantilly lace.I even enrolled in a real fashion school—withxams, internships, and sleepless nights over sketches and fabrics—justo every detail of my charade would be flawless.My phone vibrates. It's Yakov."Darykins!"The nickname slips through the line like it always has, three drawn-out syllables between his teeth, where the prolonged "Kins" is our signature. Only Yakov pronounces it that way, since we were five, when he saved me from a kidnapping by pulling my ponytail and stabbing the man's eye with

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 120 — THE STORM ARRIVES

    PRESENTELIZABETHPARIS, FRANCE — CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORTI enter Paris as Elizabeth Smirnov.A name that doesn't truly belong to me but carries the weight of my mother's history. Elizabeth, my middle name. Smirnov, the identity she used years ago to survive.The city lights flicker below like interrogation spotlights, but I don't blink back. Paris doesn't know who just arrived. And it's better that way.Russian blood from the Petrovs, cold as a Moscow winter, mixed with the calculating ambition of the Greens. I was born between codes of honor stained in red and raised to survive any scenario. Now, I step off the plane with a clear objective: to kill Olivier Lefèvre—the man who almost destroyed my family on my twenty-first birthday, along with my triplets, Vasily and Yakov.Maison Dumont is my entry point — the perfect disguise.To the world, I'm just a promising fashion designer. To the underworld, I'm a shadow ready to strike.My brothers, Yakov and Vasily, left me with little inf

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 119 — PROLOGUE (DARYA GREEN)

    PROLOGUEPAST — 14 YEARS AGODARYA GREENNEW YORK, NY — GREEN MANSIONMy mother instituted the number system out of pure logistical necessity.Imagine five armed-to-the-teeth men responding at the same time when a child yells "Dad!" in the middle of dinner. Ever seen the chaos of five Glocks being drawn simultaneously because Yakov slipped on dried blood from training and called for help? Yeah…That's how we learned:FATHER 1 ➻ HEROESThe patriarch had heavy hands that served both to bandage scraped knees and to dislocate traitors' jaws. Our first-aid manual was him muttering, "Press here, daughter, until the bone stops creaking," while threading needles through open wounds.FATHER 2 ➻ LUTHERThe family strategist. Not the behind-the-scenes planner type—but the one who sketched tactics with empty cartridges over coffee-stained maps while his cigarette smoke veiled the most crucial details."A direct attack is predictable," he'd say, dragging his finger over an alternative route. "True

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 118 — THE HIDDEN CONNECTIONS OF OLIVIER LEFÈVRE

    Faina GreenThree days after the attack, the mansion still smelled of gunpowder and dried blood.Heros was stabilized in the makeshift infirmary room in the basement—alive, but weak, with three bullets removed and an infection that Noah monitored hour by hour. I barely left his side, but the hatred wouldn’t let me sleep. Olivier Lefèvre was no longer a name from the past. He was an open wound that needed to be cauterized.That early morning, we gathered everyone in the armored office. My father had brought two of his best men from Moscow. Luther projected everything we had gathered so far onto the large screen.“Olivier Lefèvre,” Luther began, his voice cold as steel. “47 years old. Born in Marseille, raised in Corsica. Officially, owner of a luxury

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 117 — THE ATTACK ON THEIR 21ST BIRTHDAY

    Faina GreenDarya stood frozen for long seconds that night, her body trembling with rage and pain. Then she dropped the suitcase to the floor with a dull thud and ran up the stairs, slamming her bedroom door hard enough to make the chandelier shake.I stayed there in the middle of the hall, feeling my chest tight.I had just saved my daughter from a monster.And in the process, I had perhaps become one to her.The following years were the hardest of our lives.Michael’s death (officially declared a “disappearance”) left a deep wound in Darya. She spent months in silence, then in open rebellion. She screamed, cried, and locked herself in her room for days. There were nights when I slep

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 116 — THE BEATING AND THE FIRE

    Faina GreenI couldn’t stop it.That same night, after my last confrontation with Darya, the boys acted.Yakov and Vasily didn’t ask for permission. They simply waited for Michael to leave her room one more time—almost two in the morning—grabbed him in the back corridor, and dragged him to the old shed behind the mansion, the same place where we stored old equipment and fuel for the armored vehicles.I only found out when Heros woke me, already dressed in black, his jaw locked.“They got him,” he said, his voice low. “Your sons.”My stomach dropped.“Where?”

    Liora VossI woke slowly, still caught in a confused, heated dream. A low moan slipped from my throat before I even opened my eyes. There was a wet, hot, insistent sensation between my legs—a slow, skilled tongue sliding along my swollen pus

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 05 — THE PROPOSAL

    Luther GreenThe office was submerged in shadows. Only the desk lamp partially lit my brothers’ faces, casting long shadows that danced across the dark walls. The tension was thick, almost electric. I couldn’t stay still. I paced back and forth, my body vibrating with an explosive mix of anxiety, p

    Zedekiah GreenThe weak light from the bulb swung from the ceiling like a broken pendulum, casting long, distorted shadows that seemed alive on the damp walls of the basement. The air was thick, heavy with the smell of mold and rust and the subtle scent of fear I had learned to recognize so well.A

  • I Surrender to Them   CHAPTER 03 — THE BROTHERHOOD LAW

    Noah GreenHeros gathered us in the office and told us everything. Luther’s growing obsession with Liora. How he saw in her a chance for redemption, a living shadow of Alicia.
