LOGINThis book is officially over. I can't believe I finished it. There were times I wanted to give up. Times I did at some point, but for some reason, I always found the energy to push through. I want to thank everyone who gave this book a chance. Without you, this book wouldn't be as successful as it
“Nikolai, I- ouch” She takes a step towards me and then stops, her face twisting into a grimace. I'm at her side in an instant, my hands around her shoulder, steadying her, “What's wrong?” I ask, my gaze scanning her carefully. My eyes land on the thin ragged line on her knee. The edges are raw, a
To be honest I wouldn't blame her if she did. She’d just seen me torture information out of a man. A man who deserves every bit of pain I dished out to him and more but still.

“You're quiet” Nikolai observes, his voice smooth as he picks up his knife and starts to cut into his steak, “Is the food not to your liking?" He sounds concerned and I shake my head, "No, it's perfect" "Then what is the problem, Solnyshko? You're not usually this quiet." I hesitate, my fingers
Ava ( Seven years old) I'm not going home. Ava realises this as she sits on the floor of what appears to be an empty cell-like room, except the walls are pretty and only the floor is damp. She tilts her head back against the wall, drawing her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them a
