ROMAN

I have to go to the meeting with the elders today and try to reason with them on the death of Vladamir and it not being Ana’s fault.

I push the board room door open and go inside ready to fight for her.

It’s easy to be intimidated by the leaders of the elite group.

Most of them, From other families included, have served time in jail.

While that’s disgraceful in the outside world, it’s a stamp of honor for any member of the Bravta.

Granduncle Morozov sits at the head of the table. He’s old, in his sixties.

His once-blond hair is now completely white and washed by time.

While cancer has made him look older, it didn’t take his hair away, probably because of his stubbornness about refusing to undergo chemotherapy.

I try not to look at him knowing every and any weaknesses will be exploited.

My cousin Vasili leaves my side and sits on Granduncle’s right, which is his position as his right hand man.

On his left sits Kai, the Enforcer. He holds the same level of power as Vlad, bu

  • Maddest Temptation    Chapter 197

    ANAIt’s day 26 and I go over the plan I have in my head for the hundredth time today. I have unscrewed the shower screen and have placed it strategically in the bathroom, waiting for my attack. For the last seven days I have woken up every morning determined that today is the day.But today I’m going to escape, but then I’m so scared I’m going to mess it up and end up dead and Roman will really lose me and It would have all been for nothing. I have to be positive my plan will work before I do it or else it’s just a death wish. I just wish I knew if the CCTV coverage of me in here is going back to an office somewhere else or if this is the only place that views me.Because if this is the only place I have a much bigger chance of getting away before anyone knows I’m gone. I know what shift Boris is on and I have to do it when the young doctor is here, as I have a much greater chance of surviving against him. He won’t even talk to me because he knows I’m trying to break down his

    ANA Days have turned into weeks, sixteen days that I have counted, although I don’t know how long I was unconscious for in the beginning. I’m in hell, I have literally been beaten into submission and have no doubt that he is the one who will kill me when given the word. I have never been so scared of anyone in my life and as if my subconscious knows that this was my fear all along. I haven't been having bad dreams at all, because I'm living in one. I don’t need to dream about terror any more. I’m living it. The televisions are haunting me, four of news and the excessive reporting on this story. one of our bedrooms playing the videos of our sex and love-making and one that flicks through to different rooms in the house. Somebody wants me to know that they are watching us. It’s a powerplay, they are trying to play mind games to mess with my head, to make me give up fighting. They have control of my house and they have me hostage. Someone wants me to know that they ar

    SashaMy eyes flick to Nikolai in the front seat as Dimitri drives us to Miami Penitentiary. We are worried sick. Roman has been in prison for nine days and has refused to see us. We have driven the hour and a half each day to the prison only to be turned away. What’s going on with him? Why won’t he see us?We are all going through the case notes and following up every lead that we can but without knowing if Rome is ok we are all struggling. I have offered Lucas a role to stay on and help us. He was due to go back to his life yesterday and wait up on his daughter's burial but his input and insight into the case has been helpful. And, besides, I hate to admit it, but I actually like the guy. He’s uncultured and rough and raw and brutally honest.These are good qualities that we so desperately need at this delicate time.when we don’t know who to trust. Dimitri refuses to even look at Lucas but Nikolai thinks we need him. If it comes down to giving evidence against Rome we w

  • Maddest Temptation    Chapter 194

    ANA Two of the televisions that were not on before start to turn on and I pick up my lunch and move to the bed to see what is coming on. These assholes are trying to mess with my head. Fury ignites deep inside me. If anyone is going to be messing up anyone’s head around here it’s going to be me. I watch as the two screens light up and I frown at them. What is this? I can’t make out where they are. I watch the one on the left and then I see my housekeeper walk past carrying a basket of washing. My eyes widen in horror. This camera is from inside my house and that’s our lounge room. My eyes instantly flick to the other screen. Oh my god. My stomach drops. That’s our bedroom. These people have been in our house. My heart starts to pump heavily and just when I think it can’t possibly get any worse I see myself walk into the room. I watch myself slowly get undressed. Oh my god, how long has this camera been in our room? Roman walks in and starts to talk

    ANA I pace backwards and forwards in my room as I try to work out who has me captive and what the motive is. It’s been twenty-four hours and nothing has been said to me other than don’t make Boris angry or he will hurt me. They gave me a blood transfusion. Why? Why are they keeping me alive? They must be going to ask for money but according to the television reports Roman is still in hospital. Maybe Sasha is organising the money? I have seen Sergei on television at the hospital, and he looks frantic. It’s seriously not worth having money to go through this. I hear the key in the door and I stand back in fear near the bathroom door. The young man puts his head around the door and gives me a stifled smile and then picks the tray up off the ground and brings it in. “Lunchtime, for you Ana.” he says gently. I stand still watching him. What the hell is he doing here? He’s a nice guy, I can tell. “Can I look at your arm please?” he asks kindly. I swallow my fea

    SASHASergei and I go back inside to see Rome and go back up to the counter. “Can we go in and see him again now?” Dimitri asks.The receptionist looks up from her computer. “What was the name again?” she asks.“Roman Petrov,” Sergei snaps, annoyed that she doesn’t remember.“Take a seat.” She gestures to the waiting lounge and we both sit down.Fifteen minutes later we hear her voice. “Excuse me, gentlemen,” she calls at us.We both stand and immediately go to the desk.“I’m sorry. He has declined your visit,” she says flatly, not even looking at us.“But I didn’t tell you who we are. I didn’t give you my name.” Sasha frowns.“He is not accepting any visitors.” She repeatsWe both frown at her in confused. What does that mean?“He doesn’t want any visitors,” she repeats.“He would want to see me,” Sasha says firmly. “He’s not thinking right. I’m worried about his safety in here,” he says to her.She rolls her eyes. “Sorry.” Her eyes go to the man standing waiting in the l
