Viktor’s pov.

The room was dimly lit, as I sat at the massive oak table in my study. Papers and maps were spread out before me, but I wasn’t reading any of them. My thoughts kept drifting back to earlier that evening.

Anya.

Irina had humiliated her in front of everyone at dinner, commanding her to sit on the floor like a dog. She hadn’t flinched. Not outwardly, at least.

She’d folded her legs beneath her and sat on the cold marble, her chin tilted high in d

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   There are no cracks

    Viktor pov.The room felt like a pressure cooker. Every man in my inner circle sat around the table, faces grim, tension thick enough to choke on. I leaned back in my chair, fingers steepled under my chin, forcing myself to appear calm even though fury roiled in my chest. Yuvi spoke first, his tone clipped. “Whoever did this wanted to send a message, Pakhan. They know Vlan was more than just a consigliere to you.” My jaw clenched. “It’s not about the message. It’s about the cowardice. Execution-style? At the docks? They didn’t even have the decency to look him in the eyes.” “Or maybe,” Yuvi continued, his dark eyes meeting mine, “they wanted you to feel the sting. They think you’re weak now. Exposed.” I let out a low growl, slamming my palm onto the table. “Do I look weak to you, Yuvi? Does anyone here think I’m exposed?” No one answered. Silence fell over the room like a heavy blanket. Yuvi finally broke it. “It’s not about what we think

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   Pieces don't get to make decisions.

    Anya pov.Yesterday, I woke up to the silence of the room, thick and suffocating. Viktor’s side of the bed was empty, the sheets cool against my fingertips. I reached out instinctively, but he wasn’t there. The first thought that crossed my mind was that something had happened. He was always gone before me, but this felt... different. Pulling the blanket around me, I sat up and stared at the room. The faint scent of his cologne lingered, mingling with the leather and wood of the furniture. It was a comforting smell, one I’d come to associate with him, but that day, it only made my chest tighten. Something was wrong. I felt it. ***I wandered out into the hallway, my bare feet padding against the cold floor. The mansion was alive with movement, but the usual hum of activity felt muted, like everyone was trying not to draw attention to themselves. Two staff members passed me, their heads bent close together as they whispered. “...found h

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   You're my weakness

    Viktor pov.I woke before the sun, the room was still cloaked in shadows. Restless. Unsettled. Something in my gut gnawed at me, like a warning I didn’t understand. Anya lay beside me, her hair was a tangled mess against the pillow, her breathing soft and even. Peaceful. She looked nothing like the fighter I knew—sharp-tongued, defiant, always pushing buttons she shouldn’t. Here, she was... different. Vulnerable. It should’ve been enough to make me look away, but I didn’t. Couldn’t. “Ty moya slabost,” I muttered under my breath. You are my weakness. It wasn’t a compliment. It wasn’t even anger. It was the truth. I dragged a hand down my face and sat up, the cool air biting against my skin. This—whatever she was doing to me—it needed to stop. I wasn’t built for softness, for distractions. Anya was supposed to be a pawn, leverage, nothing more. And yet, here I was, watching her sleep like some lovesick fool. I grabbed my phone fr

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   Viktor, please fuck me

    Viktor pov.The whiskey glass was warm in my hand, the amber liquid reflecting the dim light in the study. Across from me, Vlan sat like he owned the place—leaned back, legs spread, a cigar balanced between his fingers. His laughter filled the room, deep and rough, like gravel under boots. “Odessa’s shipment?” I asked, leaning forward. “Handled,” he said, puffing out a cloud of smoke. “But I’ve got to say, Viktor, your boys need a leash. One of them nearly fumbled the whole thing.” “Which one?” “Does it matter?” He smirked, swirling his whiskey. “They’re all too green. You should let me knock some sense into them.” I rolled my eyes, but I didn’t argue. Vlan loved to criticize, but he wasn’t wrong. I’d been too lenient lately, focusing on other things—other people. My gaze drifted to the clock on the wall. It was getting late. “Speaking of leashes,” Vlan said, breaking the silence. “How’s your little pet? Still trying to bite the hand

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   Everything was normal now

    Anya pov.The mansion was quieter than usual. The kind of silence that pressed against your eardrums. I had spent enough time here to know when something felt off. And today, it felt like everything was closing in. The walls, the people, even Viktor's trust. I had never expected to be here—this deep into the game, trying to spy on Viktor’s own people. But when Boris threatened me, everything changed. I had to give him some information. But I was careful, not wanting to betray Viktor too much, even as I gave Boris the crumbs he demanded.But now, things had shifted. I was certain that someone else in this house was feeding Boris intel—someone I hadn’t expected.Anton. Viktor’s trusted right-hand man. Loyal, or so I thought.I had always seen Anton as a mere tool in Viktor’s arsenal. A soldier, following orders without question. But the more I observed him, the more I saw cracks in his loyalty. His secretive behavior, the way he spoke to Viktor

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   He was careful

    Anya pov.Watching Anton was like watching a pot that never boiled. He was careful—too careful—but no one could be that perfect. Everyone slipped up eventually, and I was determined to catch him when he did. For the past week, I’d been shadowing him whenever I could, slipping into rooms just as he left, lingering in hallways to catch bits of conversation. It wasn’t easy. Viktor’s house ran like a tight machine, every person trained to stick to their roles. But Anton... He always seemed a little too busy, a little too preoccupied with things that didn’t add up. This morning, I found him in the kitchen, muttering under his breath as he stirred a cup of tea. He didn’t notice me standing in the doorway, and I used that moment to study him. His shoulders were tense, and his hand gripped the spoon so tightly that it clinked against the cup with every stir. “Anton,” I called softly, stepping into the room. He jumped, the spoon slipping f

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   Everything is fine

    Anya pov.Last night, Viktor had peeled back a layer of himself I wasn’t ready to see. His vulnerability lingered in my thoughts, yet I couldn’t afford to dwell on it. My mission—Boris’s threats—still loomed over me. The thought of Celine trapped in that hellish situation haunted me, eve

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   No weaknesses yet

    Anya pov.The garden felt emptier after Yuvi and the others left, but my mind was anything but. Viktor’s words replayed in my head like an unrelenting melody. “Do you know what it’s like to lose everything you love in one breath?”I did. Far too well. And maybe that was why his conf

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   Some things are better forgotten

    Anya pov.The mirror in my room was my worst enemy. It showed me too much. Every morning, I’d stand in front of it, looking at the woman staring back. The perfect mask. The poised, detached girl Viktor saw. But beneath that mask was someone unraveling.I pulled my hair into a tight b

  • She's Viktor Romanov’s   She was a different kind of threat

    Viktor pov.I sat in my study, the air heavy with the scent of cedarwood and leather. The desk lamp cast a dim glow, illuminating the papers in front of me. Numbers, routes, shipments—I knew these details inside and out, yet tonight they blurred together, meaningless. The quiet shu
