The Capo's Devotion: Own by the Don Chapter 42
The Truth About My FatherAlexei"Your father wasn't your father."The words didn't belong together. "What does that mean?" I asked. She looked at Arjun. He lowered his head. "You knew?""Some of it."My voice sharpened. "Some?" Lucien stepped beside me. "Let her explain." I turned to him. "Everyone keeps telling me to wait.""I know.""But I'm done waiting."My mother nodded. "You deserve the truth." She sat on the edge of the old wooden bench. "Your biological father was named Nikolai Volkov." I laughed, because the name didn't make any sense."Volkov?" I repeated the name. "Yes.""Then who was the man who raised me?"She hesitated. "Your father." I moved closer to her. "That's not an answer.""He raised you. He loved you. But you were not his biological son." I looked away.My entire childhood suddenly felt like a lie."Did he know?""Yes.""And he still raised me?""He did.""Then why hide it?""Because your biological father was connected to the Cham." I looked down at the ring i

My Mother's WarningAlexei"Stay away from my son."My mother's words sounded through the monastery. I couldn't move. For years, I had imagined meeting her. Sometimes I imagined anger. Sometimes tears. Sometimes nothing at all. I had never imagined this."Mom?"She looked at me. Her eyes filled with tears. "You shouldn't have come here." I stepped closer. "You're alive.""Yes.""Why did you let me believe you were dead?"Her lips parted. No answer came out. I felt something inside me break. "You left me.""I was trying to protect you.""By disappearing?""Yes.""Do you know what happened to me?"She lowered her eyes. "I know.""You don't."My voice rose. "I was alone."She flinched. "I know.""No, you don't."Lucien moved closer. My mother immediately raised her hand. "Don't." Lucien stopped. She looked at him. "I know who you are." Lucien's face remained calm. "Then you know I'm not here to hurt him.""I know what men like you do.""And I know what mothers like you do."She laughed.

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

Lucien had lived his life by one rule: knowledge before strike. He never wasted a bullet or a blade without first dissecting the mind of his prey. And though Alexei was not prey in the ordinary sense, Lucien knew—something had shifted.The boy was different. Not reckless, but distracted. A distract

The Call from the PastThe night pressed on like an unwelcome guest. The lights shining bright in Lucien’s mansion, but Alexei saw none of it. His body sagged into the couch, head heavy, arms draped like weights. He had run rooftops all week, his blades wet, his clothes carrying the scent of gunpow

The Capo’s CalculusLucien watched Brussels like a chessboard. From his mansion high above the river, the city’s lights were nothing more than moving pieces — ministers in black cabs, judges in late-night diners, businessmen slipping through private doors. He watched them not with the indulgence of

The Burden of SecretsDays bled into nights, and nights into days. For Alexei, time no longer marched in clean hours—it dragged like a chain in the stone. His body was sharper now and his instincts keener. On missions, he struck with precision, his knife and pistol leaving trails of silence behind
