WHAT SOFIA WANTS

SOFIA POV

The burner phone buzzed in my pocket as we drove, an unknown number lighting up the screen, and something in my gut told me to answer before I even thought it through.

"Sofia." Elena's voice came through smooth and unhurried, like she had all the time in the world. "I wondered how long it would take you to find the warehouse."

My grip tightened on the phone. "Where is he."

"Safe. For now." A pause, almost thoughtful. "You should know something before you come looking

    THE HEIRSOFIA POVThe new safehouse sat further outside the city than anywhere we'd stayed before, surrounded by trees instead of concrete, the kind of isolation that should have felt safer but mostly just felt lonely. Alessio found me in the small kitchen staring at a cup of tea I hadn't touched, the folder Rosalind had given him sitting open on the table between us."There's something else you need to know," he said quietly, pulling out the chair across from me. "About Stefan Volkonsky.""The grandson," I said. "Your father's new contact mentioned him. Katya mentioned him too, when she told me about the marriage plan.""It's more than a loose plan." Alessio's jaw tightened, the careful way he said it already telling me this was going to hurt before he said another word. "He's been groomed for this since childhood, Sofia. Trained specifically to inherit the entire Bratva network once your grandfather eventually steps aside. Disciplined. Dangerous

    ALLIES IN THE SHADOWSALESSIO POVThe meeting place she'd chosen was a small, forgettable diner on the edge of the city, the kind of spot nobody important would ever think to look twice at, which was exactly why I trusted the choice before I'd even met her.I spotted her in the back booth, a woman in her thirties with sharp, watchful eyes and the kind of careful stillness that comes from years spent surviving in a house full of people who underestimated her completely. She didn't look up as I slid into the seat across from her, her gaze fixed on the cup of coffee cooling between her hands."Rosalind Drayton," I said quietly."Mr. Volkov." She finally looked at me, something sharp and assessing behind her calm expression. "I was starting to think you wouldn't come.""My contact vouched for you. That's rare enough I decided it was worth the risk.""Smart." A faint, humorless smile crossed her face. "Most men in your position wouldn't ha

    THE GRANDFATHER'S HANDSOFIA POVI held the note in my hands long after Alessio pulled it down from the door, the paper trembling with the shake in my fingers, the elegant handwriting somehow more terrifying than if the message had been scrawled in blood.Hiding only delays the inevitable.I read it again and again, trying to find some edge of exaggeration in it, some empty threat dressed up in formal language to make it sound more impressive than it actually was. But nothing about the calm, careful tone felt empty. It felt certain. It felt like a man who had never once needed to raise his voice to get exactly what he wanted."He knows this address." My voice came out thin, barely steady. "He knows everyone here. He cut the power himself, or had someone do it, just to prove he could reach us whenever he wants.""We don't know that for certain," Alessio said, though the tightness in his jaw told me he believed it just as fully as I did.

    IN THE DARKALESSIO POVThe darkness dropped over the room like a blade, total and absolute, and every instinct I'd spent years sharpening snapped into place before my mind even finished processing what had happened."Everyone stay still," I said, voice low and sharp, cutting through the panicked shuffle of movement around me. "Nobody move until I know what we're dealing with.""The power doesn't just fail like this." Nikolai's voice came from somewhere near the filing cabinet, tight with the same cold understanding settling into my own chest. "Not all at once, not this clean. Someone cut it."I reached blindly for Sofia, finding her arm in the dark and pulling her behind me, positioning my body between her and the door on instinct alone. "Stay close," I murmured. "Don't make a sound unless I tell you to.""Alessio." Her voice shook slightly despite the effort I could hear her making to keep it steady."I've got you." I kept my tone l

    THE LEDGERSOFIA POVKatya stood in the small office at the back of the safehouse, her laptop open on the desk, hands trembling slightly as she gripped a small data drive between her fingers like it might burn her."What is this," I asked, pulling my jacket tighter around myself, the cold of the room nothing compared to the dread already building in my chest."I took it from my father's office weeks ago." Her voice shook, exhaustion and fear tangled together. "Before I left to warn you about the message. I've been too scared to look at it properly until now."Alessio moved to stand beside me, Nikolai close behind, both of them alert despite the late hour."Show us," Alessio said quietly.Katya plugged the drive into her laptop, her fingers hesitating over the keyboard for a long moment before she finally opened the files. Rows of encrypted data filled the screen, dates and numbers and names stretching back decades, financial records more detailed than anything we'd managed to piece to

    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
