“You took the Petrov name given to you by my uncle, our money… the life that a mafia wife is supposed to have for a few years.”

I smirk at the audacity of this woman.

“ It was my money I just took it back. I’m happily married to the love of my life, and you will accept it.”

I lose the last of my patience with this woman.

“Move the fuck on, Gloria, and leave us alone.”

Her cold eyes hold mine.

“Last chance, Roman Petrov.”

“For what?”

I smirk.

“To understand how pathetic you really are, Gloria? Too late.”

She takes a brown folded envelope out of her bag and passes it over to me.

“What’s this?”

A trace of a vindictive smile crosses her face.

“Open it and see.”

I open the envelope and pull out an A4 photograph.

It’s of Ana and I in the Auction Club at the beginning of our time together.

Ana isn’t looking at the camera, but I can see clearly that it’s her.

My eyes rise to meet Gloria’s.

She pauses for effect.

“You know… the security system was surprisingly easy to hack into and g

    Chapter 206RomanI lie in the bed in the cell as I think of my beautiful Ana. Even the memory of her lifts me from my darkened place. Her soft hair, her beautiful smile and dimples, the way she loved me and how much she we have been through together.It’s not fair that she be forgotten in all of this. My eyes flick around the depressing small cell, my new home. How do you adjust to this? I can’t. I can’t live here for the next twenty nine years. I’m supposed to be in our house with Ana and our children and my friends. It’s not meant to be like this,this was never how it was meant to end.“Hey, are you awake man?” I hear the young kid across the hall call out.“No,” I reply flatly.“Are you going to get out of bed today?” he asks.“No,” I reply. Why bother?“Come on. Why don’t you come to the gym?”My eyes flick to him. “You saw what happened last time I went to the gym,” I reply. I got into a fight with three other men over nothing. I don’t even know how it started.“Com

    ROMAN Sasha grabs me in a tight embrace. “We will fight this injustice, this cannot be the end.” he cries. Everyone, Danielle, Callie, Ivan, Sergei are all trying to talk to me, give me words of encouragement and embrace me as they cry and the guard comes over with the handcuffs and I drop my head. I can’t have these fucking things on. My eyes cloud over.“I didn't do this, i did not kill my wife” I whisper.The guard looks at me sympathetically and opens them up.“Get away from him,” Sasha yells as he pushes the guard away from me. “He didn’t do this,” he yells. “You have the wrong man!” he screams to the courtroom.Two other guards walk over and physically restrain Sasha who is close to being physically aggressive.I feel the cold hard snap of the handcuff around my wrist and I close my eyes to try and block out the hysteria of everyone as they lose control.“Come on,” the guard snaps.And just like that, my life is over.++++++++++++++++++++SashaI sit in my office with my

    COURT Today’s verdict will be tomorrow’s headline and the look of anguish on Sasha’s face is unbearable. He has been with me blow by blow since Ana went missing they all have. Every member of our close knit circle has been behind me 100 percent and I couldn’t have asked for more. I’m so grateful for their support. but I can’t put my family through this any longer. I just need this to be over. The details that they have brought up publicly about my past life have been bad to say the least, my worst nightmare. They should never have had to listen to any of it let alone have to deal with it splashed all over the world news. The paparazzi presence in this courtroom today is overwhelming and I keep my eyes cast down so that they can’t get the shot of my face that they all so desperately want. Why is it that the perfect days in my life like are the ones in Ana’s arms flew by in the blink of an eye but the horrific final day of my court case is the slowest day in history?

    COURT ROOM“Why not?” he asks.“Best friends keep each other’s secrets, Yuri,” California replies coldly. God, this is rehearsed.“Do you spend a lot of time with them together?” he asks.“I live with them,Most of the time in a year” she replies.“How would you describe their relationship?” he asks.California smiles warmly at me and I feel my tears rise again. “They are madly in love. I don’t know a couple who are so in love.”The lump in my throat breaks and I drop my head, unable to hide the tears again. I hear the clicks of the cameras as they capture my tears. Fucking get me out of here.“Have you ever seen Mr Petrov be abusive to Ana?”“Never once. He adores her and worships the ground she walks on. There is no way he would ever raise a hand to her,” California replies, annoyed at the question.“Would Ana have told you if there had been abuse?” he asks.“Definitely, we tell each other everything,” she replies succinctly.“Do you think Roman Petrov killed your Friend,

    ANAIt’s about two midnight think. I am sitting at the window in a chair looking at the open field below lit by moonlight. I feel sick to my stomach, I don’t know if this plan is going to work and if it does how far away civilisation is from here. I could run for days and not see anyone. What if this is in fact a property and there are guards on the gates surrounding it? I don’t think that’s the case though because I can see the forest just over the hill. I wish the forest came right up to the house because then it would be easier for me to run without being seen. I think it’s about 300 metres to the forest from the house but that is only on this side of the house. What’s the other side like?What do I do Mom? Tell me what to do? Which way do I run?I have no shoes so I have to try and make some, but from what? How do you make fucking shoes? I asked them for some bedsocks tonight, and said my feet were cold. Bed socks are thick and hopefully will protect me a little. If

    AnaI lie in bed as I watch Roman and me making love on one of the screens i think I've been desensitized. I could watch it all day. In fact I have been doing just that. We are making slow gentle love. He is on his widespread knees, one forearm is holding his bodyweight off me and the other hand is on my behind as he holds me how his body wants me.God I miss him, I miss his scent, his touch, his love for me. I can’t live like this, not without him. It's like I'm starved of food. I’m suffocating even though I have air because the air that I’m breathing is polluted with evil been around such people.Help me. Somebody, please help me. On the other screen I see Roman walk into our bedroom and I grab the remote and point it to the television. I smile a sad smile sets up on my face as I watch him. He lies down on the bed and starts scrolling through his phone. He smiles softly when he gets to an image. I can’t see the image but I know it’s of me. He has been reading my diaries
