The Capo's Devotion: Own by the Don Chapter 40
The Woman Who LivedAlexei's POV"She's alive."The words refused to make sense. I stared at Viktor. "My mother died.""That's what you were told.""By whom?""Arjun."I turned toward the door. "Where is my uncle?"Viktor smiled. "Still asking the wrong question." Lucien stepped between us."Enough games." Viktor looked at him."You really think you can protect him from everything?""No."Lucien's answer surprised me. "I only need to protect him from you." Viktor laughed. "Then you're already losing." I stepped around Lucien. "Prove it."Viktor's smile disappeared. "Your mother is alive.""Where?""I don't know."I stared at him. "Then you're lying.""No.""How can you say she's alive if you don't know where she is?""Because I saw her.""When?""Four years ago."My mind raced. "Where?""India."I froze. My uncle had been in India. The Cham had come from India. And now Viktor was telling me my mother had been there. "What was she doing?""Running.""From whom?"Viktor looked at the ri

My Mother's Secret"My mother."I kept staring at the photograph. Her face was younger than I remembered. Much younger. But I knew her. There was no mistake.She stood between Arjun and Viktor outside the monastery. Lucien took the photograph from my hand. "Are you sure?""Yes.""How?""Because I remember that necklace." I pointed to the small silver pendant around her neck. "My father gave it to her." Lucien looked at Arjun's empty chair in the photograph."Why would your mother be at the monastery?" I shook my head. "I don't know."Henri looked at the screen. "The video was prepared.""Meaning?""Viktor wanted Alexei to see this." Lucien nodded. "He knew exactly what would hurt."I looked at him. "Then we give him what he wants." Lucien's face hardened. "No.""We're going to the monastery.""Yes.""Then why no?""Because we're going to be prepared." I smiled. "That sounds more like you." He reached for my coat. "Stay close to me.""I will.""And if Viktor appears—""I know.""No."L

Someone InsideAlexeiI stared at the photograph. Lucien and I were standing in the study. His hand was holding mine. The image had been taken less than an hour ago. I looked at the windows. Nothing. The curtains moved."Everyone out," Lucien ordered. Henri understood immediately. "Search the house." Guards rushed through the corridors. Matteo checked the doors.I remained beside Lucien. "Someone was watching us.""Yes.""Inside the estate."Lucien looked at the photograph again."Probably.""Probably?"He folded the photograph. "We don't know how they got it." I pointed to the back of the room. "Then start there." He followed my eyes. A small ventilation opening sat above the bookshelf.Too small for a person. But large enough for a camera. Lucien walked to it. Henri returned. "Nothing.""Check the ventilation."Henri removed the cover. A tiny black device fell onto the floor. Everyone stared.Matteo picked it up. "Camera." Lucien's face became cold. "How long?"Matteo examined it. "

Marseille"What happened in Marseille?" Lucien didn't answer. That was worse than any answer he could have given me.We were back at the estate. Arjun was in the study with Henri, being checked for injuries. Matteo had doubled the security around the property. But I couldn't think about Viktor. Not now.I stood across from Lucien. "You knew that name would mean something." He removed his coat. "Yes.""Then tell me.""It's complicated."I almost laughed. "That's what people say when the truth is ugly." His eyes hardened."Be careful.""Why?""Because you're angry.""I have every reason to be."Lucien walked toward the drinks cabinet. I blocked him. "Don't walk away.""I need a moment.""No. I need an answer."He stared at me. Then he poured himself a drink. "Three years ago, Marseille belonged to another family.""The Moreaus?"He nodded. "They were moving weapons through the port.""And you?""I was trying to stop them.""Trying?"Lucien looked down at the glass. "There was a shipment

The Wrong Address I didn't sleep. Neither did Lucien. By midnight, his entire estate had become a command center. Henri stood over a table covered with maps of Brussels.Matteo was checking weapons. Two men watched the gates. And Lucien stood beside the window, speaking quietly into a phone. I hated seeing him like this. Not afraid. Controlled. Every decision measured.Every emotion buried. He ended the call."Nothing." I looked at him. "We've searched the roads around the estate.""That doesn't make sense.""What doesn't?""Viktor came here to take Arjun. He wouldn't leave without a plan." Lucien nodded. "Exactly."I picked up the note again. COME ALONE, ALEXEI. "He expected me to follow.""Yes.""Then why leave this?""Because he wants you to." I looked at him. "You're saying it's a trap.""I'm saying everything Viktor does is a trap."I pushed the note across the table. "Then we use the trap." Lucien's eyes met mine."No.""I wasn't asking.""I know."He came closer. "You want to r

The Unexpected Guest"Three days ago?"Alexei stared at the photograph. The monastery stood exactly as Arjun had described it, surrounded by dark mountains and thick forest. But the man standing outside it changed everything.Viktor. Alive. And apparently somewhere in Brussels.Lucien took the photograph from Alexei."Who sent this?" Henri shook his head. "No name. It arrived with the morning correspondence.""Who handled it?""One of the reception staff.""Bring him."Henri nodded and left. Alexei looked at Arjun. "You said Viktor wanted power.""He did.""And now?"Arjun's face remained grim. "I don't know.""Then let's find out."Lucien looked at him. "No." Alexei frowned. "No?""You aren't going anywhere.""I'm not asking permission.""I know."Lucien stepped closer. "That's why I'm telling you."Alexei folded his arms. "You can't keep locking me away.""I'm not.""Then what are you doing?""Keeping you alive." Alexei stared at him."You keep saying that.""Because it's true.""Ma

The Stone HeartFrom the night he killed Varmeer, Alexei felt something in him calcify. He woke the next morning not as the starving boy who once snatched bread crusts from garbage bins, but as someone new.A man.At least that was what Lucien wanted him to believe.When he looked in the mirror, he

The First BloodThe night was too long, because Alexei was thinking of tomorrow.Brussels, usually loud with music, laughter, and drunken chatter, seemed to hold its breath as Alexei crouched in the alley. The pistol weighed strange in his hand, wet with the sweat of his palm.In the busy street, a

The Lessons of the UnderworldThe next morning, the training Alexei's journey to the unknown begins.Alexei woke to the sound of a whip in the floor outside his room. He stumbled out, hair messy, still half-asleep, to find Lucien waiting in the hall, dressed in black, a sweet smile tugging his lips

The Confession of a CapoLucien leaned back in his chair, swirling a glass of dark wine. His eyes never left Alexei, who still sat on the other side of the table looking confused, hands tight together as if ready to bolt.“Eat,” Lucien finally said after a long pouse, a command dressed as suggesti
