My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 56 — The Response
Victor's lawyers drafted three versions of the letter before I finally threw all of them out and wrote it myself, sitting alone at the kitchen table late that night while Nico ran security assessments in the next room and Victor made calls to people who could quietly expand Sofia's protection without alerting anyone to why.*Konstantin,**I received your letter. I won't pretend it didn't shake me — thirty-one years is a long time to learn you've been living under a name that was never fully true, and a longer time still to learn why.**I don't know you. I don't know what you want from me, and I won't pretend I trust your motives simply because we share blood. But I'd rather understand the danger you're warning me about than wait for it to arrive on its own terms.**I have a daughter. She is the only thing that matters to me in any of this. If you have information that protects her, I want it. If you have an agenda that puts her at risk in any way, I want to know that too, so I can pla
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 55 — Digging
Sofia's birthday party went ahead exactly as planned two days later — a small, bright chaos of balloons and cake and a handful of other toddlers from her daycare group, Victor crouched on the floor in a suit jacket he'd stopped caring about ruining, Nico filming approximately four hundred photos on his phone like a man trying to memorize every second of ordinary joy before something came to threaten it again. I watched them both and felt the strange doubled weight of the week — genuine happiness sitting right alongside a fear neither of us had said out loud in front of Sofia, the letter locked in Victor's study safe, waiting for us to figure out what to do with it.We didn't get back to it properly until that night, once Sofia was asleep and the last of the balloons had been swept into a corner of the living room."I made some calls," Victor said, spreading a folder across the kitchen table — a new habit of ours by now, the same table where we'd first read Konstantin Volkov's letter,
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 54 — What the Silence Was Hiding
We didn't tell Sofia's party planning stop for the crisis unfolding around it — Victor insisted on that, gently but firmly, arguing that whatever this letter meant, it didn't have to mean our daughter's third birthday got swallowed by fear the way so much of the past two years had been. So the streamers stayed half-hung in the doorway, and somewhere in the apartment a caterer's assistant called about cake flavors, and underneath all of it, the three of us sat at the kitchen table with a letter that had cracked something open none of us had seen coming."I want to know everything," I said. "Before we do anything else. Who the Volkovs actually are. What my mother ran from. I can't make a single decision about this until I understand what I'm actually dealing with."Nico was already on his laptop, the particular focus in his face reminding me of the nights he'd spent tracing Kessler's shell companies two years earlier. "Volkov," he said slowly, scrolling. "There's not much public — which
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 53 — A Name From Before
The letter arrived on a Tuesday, tucked among Sofia's birthday party RSVPs and a stack of Victor's board correspondence, easy to miss except that it had no return address and my name — my full name, including a middle name almost nobody used — written in handwriting I didn't recognize but that made the back of my neck prickle anyway.I opened it standing in the kitchen, Sofia's birthday streamers still half-hung from the doorway where Nico had abandoned the project to answer a work call.*Isabella,**Your mother's name was Renata Volkov, before she changed it. Before she ran. I imagine she never told you that. I imagine she never told you a great many things.**I've watched from a distance for two years, the way I promised her I would if she ever tried to disappear again. I'm done watching.**We should talk. Before someone else finds you first — and believe me, they will, now that your daughter's existence is no longer a secret in certain circles.**— K.V.*I read it three times befor
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 52 — Two Years Later
The penthouse didn't look like a penthouse anymore. Somewhere in the past two years it had quietly transformed into a home — a scatter of small shoes by the door, crayon drawings taped to the refrigerator at exactly the height of a determined toddler's reach, a corner of the once-pristine living room permanently colonized by a small kitchen playset Victor had bought against his own better judgment and Nico had assembled at midnight, swearing softly the entire time."Mama, look!" Sofia announced, holding up a drawing that was, as far as I could tell, three overlapping circles in aggressive shades of purple. She was eighteen months old and already possessed of a confidence that suggested she understood exactly how thoroughly she ran this household, despite technically being the smallest person in it."Beautiful, baby," I said, crouching down to inspect it properly, because in this house, all of Sofia's artistic output received the reverence typically reserved for gallery openings. "Is t
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 51 — What Comes After
The weeks that followed felt strange in their ordinariness, like a held breath finally released after months of bracing for the next blow. Kessler's arrest made the financial press in careful, sanitized language — "irregularities in shareholder acquisitions," "an ongoing federal investigation" — none of it capturing the reality of a man who'd funded two wars and nearly put a bullet through Victor's chest in his own penthouse. Delacroix issued a quiet statement distancing himself from "any association" with Kessler's activities, and within a month his hostile positioning against Victor's company had simply evaporated, replaced by something almost like wary respect between two men who'd once been enemies and were now, if not friends, at least no longer actively trying to destroy each other.Nico's uncle disappeared from the city entirely sometime in the third week — not arrested, not confirmed dead, just gone, the way dangerous old men sometimes were when the money and muscle that had p

My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 5: The Reckoning
Bella’s POV The safe house feels too quiet after Nico leaves. The kind of quiet that presses against your eardrums, amplifies every drip from the showerhead, every creak of settling wood, every shallow breath you take while staring at that damning photo on the coffee table. Victor’s text is sti
