last update Huling Na-update: 2025-04-16 08:22:05

Vic stood staring at the closed door feeling a mixture of embarrassment and confused dejection as Max saddled up next to her then placed his arm gingerly around her waist. “What’s in the cup?” he asked, and Vic looked down at the mug she still held. “It’s hot chocolate.” she mumbled in a faraway tone before turning her head to finally look at Max. “Someone delivered it to me this morning along with a cup of coffee and tea.” she explained. When shouting started bubbling out of the cabin in incoherent waves, Vic bit her lip as a guilty knot formed in her stomach. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to settle her nerves but the booming sound of a man’s voice jerked her back to the edge of unsettled.

“What happened?” The sound of Rowan’s voice was like a whip and Vic physically tensed like she had been struck. “Jakub is probably waking up.” she said, somewhat sarcastically before stepping out of Max’s hold and walking around to the side of the cabin. She approached the rail

  • Owning Vic   Chapter 17) Q&A With a Mafia Boss

    Vic sat ram rod straight as her exposed shoulder bumped Volkov’s perfectly pressed suit while the car made its way out of the parking lot. She tried not to stare at Rocco, who sat directly across from her, a sleeping Maddelena sprawled out on the seat with her head in his lap and his jacket covering enough of her body that Vic was suddenly envious of her small stature. Vic could never remember a time she wanted the protection of a man but looking at Rocco cradle Maddelena so carefully made her stomach churn with longing for some reason, and she decided to attempt and distract herself from the more than hazardous thoughts she was beginning to have of Rocco Volkov. “Can I ask you a personal question sir,” she asked softly, glancing sideways at Volkov, who seemed pleasantly surprised by her.“Please, ask me anything anytime Vic, as long as the occasion is appropriate,” he finished and although her knee jerk reaction was to ask him when it might not be an appropriate time she stuck to her

  • Owning Vic   Chapter 16) Sh*t Where you eat

    Vic stood unmoving next to the small steps leading up to the booth Maddie and Volkov slid into, she let her eyes scan the crowd on the dance floor and then over toward the bar before Rowan’s voice invaded her inner ear, “Move your eyes more and your head less, you look like a fucking mannequin sweeping back and forth like that, and expand your line of vison so that when you do actually turn your head you make sure to glance at the dark booth behind the boss, or that bottle girl that keeps trying to sneak in behind you,” he barked and at first Vic simply nodded, eliciting a sarcastic snort from Rocco. “You need to copy Vic, he can’t hear the marbles rattling around in there,” he snickered under his breath and although she wanted nothing more than to kick him in the face, she simply squared her shoulders, “information simulated Rowan, thank you,” she tried not to grit through her teeth.“Aww, you two sound so cute when you get along,” Max’s voice chimed in and Vic bit down on her bottom

  • Owning Vic   Chapter 15) You Tarzan, me Pain

    Vic walked around the rounded room with her mouth open, “You made all of these?” she asked and the sound of Maddelena Volkov’s light laughter floated around the already full room. “Yes, as the daughter of a powerful man and the wife of an even more powerful man, I don’t get a lot of opportunities to shop in actual stores or leave the comfort of my own compound.” she said as she walked back into the center of the room. She handed Vic a pile of different colored silk and satin feeling fabrics. “It’s not as damsel in distress, princess locked in a gilded cage as it sounds, but you can open doors for yourself if you know where to look.” she said and winked at Vic who gave her an ear-to-ear smile. “I think I know what you mean. My life wasn’t exactly cookie cutter, even for the outcast family.” she mumbled. Maddie nudged her shoulder, “Go try those on. Yes, you have to show me, and you weren’t the outcast family.” she said then bit her lip as Vic cocked an eyebrow. “Maddie, my las

  • Owning Vic   Chapter 14) Endearing Quality or Correctable Offense

    Vic sat back in her chair and stretched her shoulders. Alexander had started out with just questions about finances and asking who kept track of the Pig Farm, but it quickly evolved into a full-scale dissection of the farms and her father’s office. Blueprints of all the buildings were now scattered across Volkov’s desk with highlighted sections and notes he had taken as they spoke. “Vic, I can’t thank you enough for this. We have eliminated months of work in just a few hours, your honesty saves the both of us so much time and pain.” Volkov said. “I want to dismiss you but there is one more thing I need from you Vic, and you need to take the naked honesty we have been sharing and consider using it as I ask you the next question. Do we understand one another young lady?” Vic’s heart was pounding against her chest as she nodded, “Yes, of course sir.” she barely whispered and waited.“Boss, would it be outrageous to ask if I could-,” Max’s voice rang in Vic’s ears and although she was rel

  • Owning Vic   Chapter 13) Flowers and a Firearm

    Vic closed her eyes and bumped her head against the door to what was now her room instead of Max’s. After their fairly gentle drills, he took her back to the room and told her it was hers now; that he would leave anything she wanted and bring her anything she was missing. He had told her to shower and put on fresh clothes so he could take her to meet with Volkov. She was nervous but also hopeful that maybe he would decide she wasn’t worth the trouble and let her go back to some semblance of her old life. She showered and changed without incident or interruption from the other occupants. When she emerged from her room, the lights in the main part of the cabin were out except for a single lamp in the kitchen where Max stood with a small flower in his hand. Vic twisted her wet hair up into a tight bun as Max approached and offered her the small white daisy. “A peace offering from Ro.” he said with a husky, but sweet voice. Vic only shook her head. “Really? This pretty little daisy is fr
