After Adira had left the office, Iason and I stayed behind to discuss business. It was time to destabilize the Yakuza as best we could—especially given their apparent ties to the Bratva.

“One of the Yakuza’s biggest sources of income is the Shinjuku casino,” I began, tracing a path on the map my father left me, the tip of my pen gliding along the paper. “Taking it down won’t be difficult. Their security is loose, and the lieutenant in charge already has a penchant for skimming from his boss.”

Iason leaned back in his chair across the table, his hands clasped tightly in front of him. “I’ve actually been keeping my eyes on him. He’s sloppy—practically begging to be the first domino.”

He wasn’t wrong. And that’s exactly why we would use him to get the job done.

“It’ll be done quietly, of course. Ready our best spies. They’ll handle this.”

He nodded in agreement, and I continued with the plan.

“We create a little havoc inside the casino and let him do the rest.”

He nodded again. “The goal

  • KNIVES AND HEARTSTRINGS   ANDRONIKOS

    I took her mouth with a hunger I’d been suppressing for far too long.I expected her to shove me away, or even slap me, but she didn’t. Instead, she kissed me back with a ferocity that rivaled mine. Her lips melted against mine like warm butter, her body softening in my arms as I dragged her closer, tighter, until there was no space left between us.Her soft moan vibrated against my tongue, sending a jolt straight to my cock. I bent and lifted her effortlessly, and she gasped, wrapping her legs tightly around my waist as if she’d been waiting for this, craving it, just as much as I had.“You infuriate me, Andronikos,” she breathed against my mouth, her voice trembling with want. I grinned wickedly and ground her covered core against the solid bulge straining behind my zipper.Her breath caught, her nails digging into my shoulders.“Good,” I muttered darkly, silencing her with another kiss before she could unleash that sharp tongue on me again.I carried her to the couch, knocking pill

    True to his word, I was surrounded on all sides by armed men. And the best part? Kace was back.I think that was the only thing stopping me from being entirely angry about my current situation.“Hey, boss lady,” Kace said, giving me a mock bow. I laughed at his ridiculousness. Secretly, I’d missed his quirkiness. It had been a while since I saw him.I gave him a knock on the head as payback for leaving me hanging for a month.“Ouch,” he yelled, rubbing the spot I’d just hit. “What was that for?”I started walking into the office, the guards blending into the crowd to avoid attracting attention.“That’s for leaving me without a call or text,” I said as I strode into the elevator, Kace by my side.“Well, it’s not like I did it intentionally. I had things to attend to.”“And I can’t know what they are, right?” I said without turning to face him, my eyes on the moving doors.“Yes,” he replied. I nodded in acceptance of his statement, and at that moment, the doors opened.We stepped out to

    After I left Adira side on the bed, I met up with Iason at one of our discrete warehouse locations. We needed to talk more about the Russian situation, and I had to bring up the vault. That conversation was long overdue.The warehouse was nearly empty, save for the occasional movement my men transporting gun shipments. I walked through the shadows of crates and steel to my office, where I found Iason, already waiting for me.“Spill,” I said immediately I stepped in, wasting no time.“After the day we saw Luciano with the Russian guy, I dug deeper into him. Turns out, he’s been making deals with the brother of the Bratva leader." Iason took a seat across from me, his voice tense.My jaw clenched. Why would Luciano make a move like that?Iason read the confusion on my face and continued. "At first, I thought it was just about expanding their trafficking ring. But then I found out something worse. The Bratva are working with the Yakuza.""The fuck?" I leaned forward, disbelief writhing i

    My body was awake before my eyes were, and I became aware of a heavy weight pressing down on me. That was when I remembered that Andronikos had slept beside me the night before.A small smile spread across my face. He stayed.I tried to slowly move out from under him, but the man seemed determined to kill me in my sleep, because, somehow, he just shifted more of his weight on me.Okay, now this was getting seriously uncomfortable.“Nikos.” No answer. “Andronikos,” I tried again, but he didn’t respond. My God, for a man supposed to be constantly alert, he sure slept like the dead.Dead.That single word cracked something open, and suddenly, the memories came flooding back. The man I had killed last night. His face, the blood, the gunshot. And yet… I didn’t care.I just felt… detached.I didn’t want to dwell too much on what that meant, so I focused instead on pushing Andronikos off me. I really needed to pee, and if he didn’t get off soon, I was going to end up soiling the damn sheets.

    ADIRAI sat on the bathroom floor, the water from the shower cascading over me.We came back soaked in dirt and blood, and while Andronikos had some business to attend to, I had walked briskly to my room, desperate to wash today off me.To wash off the fact that I had killed a man.Defense or not, I had taken another person's life.How could I ever forgive myself? How does Andronikos forgive himself?I hugged my knees tighter, my wet clothes clinging uncomfortably to my body, but I was too numb to care.Today shouldn’t have gone like this. And yet, it did. And now, I didn't know what to do about the tumultuous feelings roaring inside me.It would've been him, a voice whispered in the back of my head. Yes. Yes, yes. As maddening as Nikos could be, I couldn't let him die. The man deserved it. But, still…He still had blood flowing through his veins, just like I do, I thought as I raised my hands to my face but the worst thing happened.There was blood on them.I knew that wasn’t possib
