Anna

Viktor's words sound garbled in my ears. I’m trying to just draw in the next breath, exhale, and repeat.

I’m pregnant. With a Russian mob boss’s baby.

I fucked a mob boss. A criminal.

An insanely hot criminal, but this is not the time to split hairs.

“Thanks, Viktor, really.” I offer him my most magnanimous smile so he knows there’s no hard feelings. “For everything. You’ve been wonderful, and you’re absolutely right—this food is too amazing to skip for salad. So again, thank you.”

He casually lofts a brow. “But…?”

“But I don’t need your help. Or your money. Or your protection.”

The other brow joins his hairline. “Oh, really?”

Why do I have this sinking feeling that he’s not taking me seriously? “Really really. I’m a big girl. I can tie my own shoes and everything. I’ll get a new with great employers, and a solid paycheck⁠—”

“I will provide for my child. And you.”

The tone of his voice brooks no argument. He’s not raising his voice or expressing any anger, but the muscle in his j

  • Kiss Me Goodbye, Mafia Don   CHAPTER TWELVE

    AnnaI should be getting ready. Should be doing something more, at least. More makeup, or more jewelry, or more… I dunno. Better hairstyle, maybe.Instead, I’m lying on my bed and staring at the ceiling like it’s going to spit out all the answers to my burning questions.How is this supposed to work?How am I supposed to raise a baby with a man like Salvatore?Should I raise my baby with him?What if he thinks I’m just some gold-digger?I don’t need Salvatore’s help. Even if my parents have fallen from grace, and are at the verge of disowning me, the new job I'll hopefully get soon will make me enough to put a roof over my head. I will make enough to cover rent, bills, and make sure my baby has everything they need.But I want Salvatore's… not his help, but more like… involvement? Yeah, that’s it. I just want him to be involved, to be part of this whole process of learning how to become decent parents in a less-than-decent world.He doesn’t know how much his promise means to me. That

    ViktorI'm so restless. I need another drink.The bottle of vodka hasn’t left my side for the better part of an hour, which is how long I’ve been staring at the laptop screen. Trying to process this email I have opened in front of me.Trying to process the fact that I, Viktor Mikhail Anatoly Ivanov, am about to become a father.My sister, Irina’s sing-song voice rings in my ears. “I don't understand. Is that a problem…? Or a blessing?”I chug more vodka down and pray the screen will start swimming enough for all the information to blur together until it makes sense.Because as it stands now, none of this makes sense.I had everything meticulously planned out. Nikolai was supposed to be the family continuer. He should have been the one to go to the premiere and talk with Hermes and all that shit...No. Can’t think about that what if. Even though he’s my little brother, the mental image of him being the one to sweep Anna off her feet and into that storage closet makes my stomach churn.

    ViktorI can't remember when last I chased after a woman.But what I do remember is, they never ran as fast as Anna. Ever.She would put most track stars to shame."Hey!" I finally catch her elbow through the double doors. "Stop. Where are you going?"She turns, flustered and out of breath. "I-I have t-to go, sorry! I have to—" Her voice dies when she tries to tear out of my grasp and her bag slips off her shoulder and upends. We both reach for it at the same time and the jostling knocks a smaller bag out of it."Here, let me get that⁠—""No!"I bend down to pick up the baggie, intending to just give it back to her. But when I see what it's holding, I freeze.I look at it.At her.At it.At her.Say something. You need to say something.But what the fuck am I supposed to say?"Congratulations"?"Who's the father"?"Are we having a boy or girl"?Oh, fucking hell.I wave the stick. "How are you carrying this about?""Salvatore..." She looks around cautiously, trying to grab the stick fr

    Viktor"I still can't believe you said that shit right in Collins Black's face," Senator Silas laughs, picking up a glass of wine from a passing waiter.The business party I'm throwing to celebrate our purchase of Belfast Pictures has already reached a crescendo, and now the atmosphere is a lot calmer, with the music slow. Guests mill about, discussing in low tones, but loud laughter.I shrug and take another sip of my lemon water, eyeing a few of them around us. "What's there to fear in Collins? He's a wimp. A big wimp."Senator Silas chuckles. He's a decent man of about forty-six. Tall, blond, and weirdly attractive. "Heard he's getting married to Lady Lynch. I would never have guessed they had something going on. I'll never understand what Diana sees in him. He's not even that successful anymore.""Wasn't his last hit movie The Storm? Wasn't that half a decade ago?"Silas chuckles. "He really should retire. Talentless freak.""I know, right?" I say without mirth.I know I should be

    Anna"It's really been four months since you last saw him?" Blair asks from where she sits on the vanity dresser, a thick comb running through her hair. "And he has your number, yet hasn't called or texted back?"I bite my bottom lip, a familiar feeling of hurt which I've been accustomed ever since that night that changed my life months ago. "No," I shake my head , shoulders sagging. "Not one text. Not one call.""Bastard."I can't recount how many times Blair and I have gone over this same conversation. It's like a daily routine for us. A sacred moment, one I am beginning to dread. Because it only reemphasizes what I've been trying to run away from since that night. That it is only a matter of time before Salvatore is reduced to a figment of my imagination."Can you blame him? I'm clearly too much to handle."Blair turns to me with a death glare. "Never say that again. You're perfect.""So why don't they stay?""I don't know, but there's nothing wrong with you, babe. Don't let these
