RUIN ME: ENEMY DADDY CHAPTER THIRTY
THE BROTHER WHO WAITSSOFIA POVThe knock came soft and measured, nothing like the urgent pounding we'd grown used to over the past weeks, and something about that careful restraint put me on edge before I'd even seen who stood on the other side of the door.Nikolai checked the window first, gun already drawn, and whatever he saw made him frown in confusion rather than alarm."Unfamiliar face," he said quietly. "Alone. No visible weapons. Says he's family.""Family," I repeated, exchanging a glance with Katya, who had gone very still beside me."Open it," Alessio said, positioning himself near the door, tense and ready despite the stranger's apparent lack of threat.The man who stepped through wore his charm like a well tailored suit, every bit as polished and deliberate. He was older than Dimitri by a few years, silver threading through dark hair in a way that suggested distinguished age rather than weariness, and his smile arrived a

BLOOD ABOVE BLOODSOFIA POVI found Katya in the kitchen of the safehouse, staring into a cup of coffee she clearly wasn't drinking, and something about the way her shoulders curled inward told me she already knew why I'd come looking for her."Katya." I kept my voice level even though my hands were shaking. "I need you to tell me what Pakhan means. Right now. No more half answers."Her eyes flicked up to mine, and for the first time since I'd met her, the sharp confidence she always wore like armor cracked wide open, fear bleeding through in a way that frightened me more than anything Stefan or Dimitri had said so far."Sit down," she said quietly."I don't want to sit down. I want an answer.""Sofia, please." Her voice shook slightly. "Just sit down."Something in her tone made me obey, sliding into the chair across from her, my heart already hammering with dread before she'd said a single word."It's our grandfather," she finally said, the words coming out flat and heavy, like she'

PAKHANALESSIO POVGianna's monitor was still screaming in my head long after we left the hospital, the word she'd forced out through her pain following me into the car like something alive, crawling under my skin and refusing to settle.Pakhan.I had heard the word before, years ago, passed quietly between older men in rooms I wasn't technically supposed to be in, always spoken carefully, like saying it too loud might summon something nobody wanted summoned. I never asked what it meant back then. I was young, focused on my own war, blind to anything that didn't involve Luca Vecchio's name.I was paying attention now."Start making calls," I told Nikolai the moment we got back to the safehouse, already pulling out my own phone, scrolling through contacts I hadn't touched in years. "Every old contact who might know something. I don't care what it costs us.""On it." Nikolai's face was grim, already dialing before he finished speaking.
RUIN ME: ENEMY DADDY CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
THE NAME SHE SAIDGIANNA POVThe ceiling tiles blurred and sharpened and blurred again, and I kept trying to count them just to have something steady to hold onto while my mind drifted in and out of the fog the medication wrapped around me.Pain lived somewhere in my shoulder, dull now instead of the white hot agony I remembered from the warehouse floor, but my thoughts felt loose and slippery, fragments sliding past before I could grab hold of them properly. I remembered rope cutting into my wrists. I remembered the smell of rust and cold concrete. I remembered Luca's voice, low and urgent, pacing somewhere near the back of that room while he thought nobody was paying attention.I had been paying attention.I always paid attention, even scared out of my mind, even with my hands tied behind a chair and my heart slamming so hard I thought it might give out before anyone ever got the chance to hurt me.Luca had been on the phone.The me

HIS WORDSSOFIA POV"You don't get to make that decision for me."The words came out sharper than I meant them to, but I didn't take them back. The car was still moving, streetlights sliding across Alessio's bruised face in slow strips of gold and dark, and his hand was still wrapped around mine from the moment he'd said it."Sofia, I just watched men with your father's insignia drag me into a locked room and chain me to a pipe." His voice stayed low, controlled, but I could hear the strain underneath it. "I'm not saying this out of control. I'm saying it because I almost died tonight because of people connected to him.""I know what happened tonight." My throat tightened around the words. "I was there. I'm the one who found you.""Then you understand why I can't just stand by while you keep opening doors to a man who has already proven he'll use you, use Gianna, use anyone, to get what he wants.""He's still my father." I pulled my hand free of his, needing the space even in that cra
RUIN ME: ENEMY DADDY CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
THE ROOM BEHIND THE DOORSOFIA POVThe arm around my throat tightened, cutting off my air for a half second, and something in me stopped thinking and started reacting.I drove my elbow back hard into the masked figure's ribs, the same way I had watched Nikolai train with his men on nights I wasn't supposed to be watching at all. The grip loosened just enough. I stomped down on their foot, twisted free of the arm, and spun to face them with my knife already out of my jacket before my mind caught up with what my body had just done.The figure staggered back, clearly surprised, and I didn't waste the opening. I lunged, blade slashing across their forearm, and they hissed in pain and stumbled further away, giving me the one thing I needed most.Distance.I didn't stay to finish the fight. I spun toward the door and slammed my palm against the handle, shoving it open with everything I had left in me."Alessio."He was slumped against the far wall, wrists chained to a pipe above his head, o

THE TRADEALESSIO POV“You want to trade yourself for Gianna?” Nikolai stares at me. “That’s suicide, and honestly silly”“No. I want Luca to “think” I’m trading myself.” I pull up a map on my phone. “Pier 19 is exposed. Open. No cover. He’ll have snipers. Men everywhere.”“So how do we”“We don’t
