LOGIN“ I'll make sure you regret this. I'll take away every calm in your life. Everything you could ever love. I'll completely ruin you.” The thought of her pulling a knife to my throat brought a jolt of excitement to my lower belly. For a woman who hated the mafia she played the part well. An unofficial ice queen with a lot of emotion raw on display. I couldn't wait for all the emotions I could get out of her. “I'd like to see you try baby girl.” I replied with a grin tightening my hold of her hands getting another glare from her. The priest cleared his throat bringing us out of her little death play. “ Do you Aleksei Vadik, take Ava Addams as your lovely wedded wife in battles and in strength?” “Yes.” I responded confidently. °°° Being a part of the Mafia had their pros and cons. Ava as a matter of fact hated being the Bratva’s daughter. Who knew a night with the wrong stranger could turn her life around in the worst possible way.
View MoreAva's POVI knew he was angry, judging by the way he sat quietly and brooding at the dinner table. To him, I had betrayed him, betrayed his trust by supposedly leaking information to my family, his sworn enemy. I ate in silence, occasionally casting glances at him as he sat there in silence with a fork twirling in one hand.“I was doing a little bit of thinking earlier.” He spoke suddenly, putting an end to the silence that had settled between us, and I looked up abruptly, expecting to hear what he had to say. “You know your birthday is fast approaching, and I was making plans for that.”Plans? For my birthday? I wondered in silence. It was true that my birthday was at the corner but I had no plans for it and didn't expect him to make any plans for it either. I wasn't ready to celebrate a birthday while being confined in the house of a sworn enemy of my family.“That's very kind and generous of you,” I spoke up matter of factedly. “But I didn't make any arrangements or plans to celebr
___Aleksei__The pressure in the meeting room was so thick it could be sliced by a knife. Our captains, likewise wearing stern masks, sat at the table, and they told each and every one present the precise account of the recent assaults on our own vessels.Viktor sat at the head of the table, his countenance more severe than usual. “The Tolstoi gang not only tests the limits this time, it is playing a piece of a strategy to take possession. Two of our distribution centers were both the victims of a cyberattack last night, and the perpetrators called directly when they got a hit. ‘Stay out of Voskresensk.’”I leaned my seat back and brought my fingertips together in a steeple shape over my chin. “Two hubs in the night,” I reported calmly, not quivering. “They’re getting bold.”Nikolai, one of my senior enforcers, leaned forward. “Bold or desperate. Either way, we can’t let this go unanswered.”“Desperate men are the most dangerous,” I muttered. My mind worked through the possibilities.
~••~Ava~••~I kept staring at the phone Aleksei got for me. It was suspicious, too suspicious to be true. I had checked around the phone, there was no sign of a tracker, I had also checked inside the phone. Nothing. It was a new modern Samsung Galaxy. I'd never used a Samsung Galaxy before so I didn't know how it worked. I didn't know if there's a hidden tracker or not, and I didn't have my SIM card with me. Aleksei knew what he was doing by taking my previous phone. Fuck, I wish I wasn't so careless! I should've known the moment he entered the house!! Now I'm stuck with this thing and I don't even know how it worked.A knock was heard outside the door, "Come in." I said, and a maid revealed herself."I've come to call you for breakfast, Mrs Vadik." Twitching my lips, I nodded and she left.Breakfast, Aleksei. I was going to see him. The memory of the chaste kiss from last night infiltrated my brain and I groaned. Why didn't I push him? And most of all, why did it look like I wanted
~••~Aleksei~••~I arrived sooner than I should have, with my new mobile for Ava tucked in my pocket. She might have been clever enough to sneak her calls behind my back, but she wasn’t clever enough to outsmart me.Stepping into the parlor, I immediately noticed her absence. Ava usually curled up in the sitting room with a book or indulged in one of those overly cheerful romantic comedies she seemed to adore. But the space was empty, the silence stretching.I looked around the library, a place she virtually owned. The scent of old books permeated the air, yet there was no sign of Ava. That left only one place.Wandering down the hallway, I felt no desire to knock, so I simply pushed open her door.Lying on the bed, she sat with a cell phone grasped in her hand. Her head sprang up, and her eyes widened like a deer caught in the beams of a car headlights.“Aleksei…” she said hesitantly, her smile forced and weak. She instantly threw the phone onto the bed, as if that could change what
