INICIAR SESIÓNChapter 20Marco"So... you mean he has a sexual relationship with her?" I asked, sniffing as I pulled my car over to the side of the road."That man has more secrets than you think, brother," Luca said, playing with his lighter. "Our investigators couldn't find anything about him. The man is extremely careful, and that means he's hiding shady things from his family."My eyes met Luca's through the phone camera."You need to find the evidence as soon as possible. I'm sick of all of them. I need to destroy them fast, take Irina, and get back home.""It's not that easy, brother," Ricardo said. "They have one of the most powerful security systems."The door behind them burst open, and Angelo ran straight to his father while Mila followed behind him, holding little Alessia."Wow!" Angelo exclaimed as he climbed onto his father's lap. "Uncle Marco, are you a ghost now? I heard Daddy say you became a ghost after you died."I laughed.That little boy."Hi, Marco," Mila said with a smile. "Ho
Chapter 19I froze. My heart skipped a beat as sweat formed on my forehead.She caught me red handed. She saw the passport. The documents. The black card.My chance of escaping vanished. Vera's expression changed, but she said nothing except, "Follow me!"I swallowed hard. Tossed the envelope under my shirt and followed behind.My legs were shaking, I was scared to death. If Pakhan found out about this... Anistasia would suffer.They would declare her as traitor as they did to me.Vera's silence and the way she was looking at me while we were walking through the hallway made me sure that my only chance of escaping vanished.For my bad luck, as we walked, Father got out of his office, followed by three guards.The envelope was there, under my shirt, and one word of Vera, Anastasia and I would be doomed. Vera bowed to father as we stood before him. He sized me up and down, then looked at Vera and asked, "Did she make any new problems?"My heart dropped, especially when Vera looked a
Chapter 18The moment Viola hung up, her tears disappeared. A mischievous smile spread across her lips."Let's see who's the Pakhan's favorite," she mocked.I rolled my eyes.What was she trying to prove? Wasn't everything already obvious?A few minutes later, the door burst open, and my father barged in."What have you done, Italian slave?" he growled.Italian slave?How creative he had become lately."Get out of my face, NOW!" he added. "I'll deal with you later!"Viola ran to him, crying against his shoulder."Oh, Uncle. Thank you for coming. I was so scared."I rolled my eyes and left.I was really getting fed up with them.The party had started.The kitchen maids gathered around the large window, watching the procession of arriving guests."Look!" one of them exclaimed. "That's the Navy Chief.""And that's the Supreme General.""Isn't that the tycoon, Mr. Volkov?"I stood behind them, silently watching the guests arrive, when one of the maids came to stand beside me.She picked u
Chapter 17The mansion was filled with high-ranking figures.Everything was ready.I felt relieved when my father spared me from serving his guests. Most of them were high-ranking figures in Russia and abroad. I had met many of them on several occasions. And I absolutely didn't want to see them now.I was polishing some glasses when one of the maids approached me and said, "The Pakhan is calling for you."Maybe he had changed his mind and thought humiliating me by making me serve his guests would be more fun.However, I was completely wrong. It seemed he had found a more fun way to torture me.When I entered his office, I wasn't mentally prepared for this.Viola was sitting on the sofa opposite my father's desk. Once she saw me, she smiled at my father and said, "You don't have to do this, Uncle!" She fluttered her heavily mascaraed eyelashes.Then she looked back at me."Maybe Irina isn't comfortable with this."I frowned.Father puffed out a cloud of smoke."She's not in a position
Chapter 16I froze.Dmitri turned. "Who's here?" he asked, reaching for his gun.Anastasia sneezed. "I haven't been feeling well since this morning. I think I'm coming down with the flu."From where I was lying, I could see Dmitri's back and the tension in his body."A..."Before he could say anything else, a new message chimed on Anastasia's phone.She deliberately made sure he saw the notification on the screen.He raised an eyebrow and read it aloud. "How's your cold, ovulation-days guy?""Damn it, Zoya," Anastasia hissed. "Did you really have to send it now?"I sniffed.I knew she was acting. She must have asked her cousin Zoya to send the message at that exact moment. She must have warned her with a message when Dmitri first entered the room.He looked at her. "I assume the ovulation guy is me."His voice sounded hurt. Unbeleiving.But honestly, he deserved it."Unless you suspect I sleep with..."He slammed his hand against the wall behind her."Fuck, Anastasia."His jaw tighten
Chapter 15Even though Anastasia and I were living in the same mansion, it wasn't easy for us to meet, let alone speak in private.Dmitri made sure that we were never left alone.But that didn't mean Anastasia would accept it and surrender. I had known her forever, and I knew how stubborn she was.She lived for breaking rules.She even told me once that if she could break into Dmitri's heart as easily as she broke the rules, she would be the happiest woman alive.To be honest, I didn't know what she saw in my brother besides his handsome face and muscular body.The man never even smiled.As I walked along the long corridor leading to the bedroom wings, someone suddenly grabbed me and pulled me into one of the rooms.I gasped.The door shut behind me.When I turned around, I was met with Anastasia's big smile."Iri!" she exclaimed, grabbing my hands. "I think I found someone who can help you escape."I looked around and quickly pressed a hand over her mouth."Eshhh. Do you have a death
Mila“Put me down! You asshole!” I kicked and resisted, trying to break free from the tight grip on my waist.“Sorry, Mila. I can't go against Il Don’s orders.”“Go to hell, you and your Don!” I shouted.“Watch your mouth, young lady, or your head will be split from your body in a blink!” he warned
MilaShocked gasps filled the air when Luca fired and shot Lorenzo in the leg, making him fall to his knees. "You think you can manipulate us?" he sneered.The atmosphere was very tense. Everyone in the hall, armed to the teeth, was cautious of even the slightest movement around them.The Hayden gu
I couldn't remember how I drove Mia Madre and Mila to her place and sped off to the Sottosopra. I was blinded by rage, slamming the accelerator until the needle on the speedometer jumped up past 90 miles an hour in a 40 zone. Traffic lights meant nothing to me as the video kept replaying over and o
MilaI was wearing shorts and a white shirt as I walked down the stairs, holding Angela's hand in mine. He was dressed in his favourite costume, Spiderman. I had promised to take him around the city today, and he chose his Spiderman costume for the adventure.As we reached the bottom of the stairs
