LOGINHis eyes drops to the wedding ring on my finger. Something shifts in his expression. Something sharp. Possessive. Furious. I had sex with my step son and I’m not even sorry. Well it’s wasn’t my intention to. I had no idea who he was. All I cared about that night was his hard body pressed against mine and his tongue circling the inside of my mouth and deep inside my thighs. But as I took off my veil and stare at the man in front of me, I knew I had started a spark that will soon turn into a full blown fire and consume us both.
View MoreYet suddenly hearing that Viktor already had dangerous substances in his body before dying made terror spread violently through my chest. Had someone gotten there before me? Had somebody else wanted him dead too? My hands trembled faintly against my lap. I quickly hid them. The detective’s gaze shifted briefly toward me. “Mrs. Morozov, are you alright?” Roman looked at me instantly. I forced myself to nod. “Yes.” Lie. I was absolutely not alright. Roman kept watching me for another second before returning his attention to the detective. “What happens now?” “We continue investigating.” The detective stood slowly. “We may need follow up interviews depending on what else we uncover.” My stomach dropped immediately. Interviews. Questions. More police involvement. Roman rose as well. “Of course.” The detective nodded politely. Then his gaze moved between us carefully. “One more thing.” The room became still again. “We discovered Mr. Morozov had recently increased h
The police arriving at that moment made everything worse. I knew something was wrong the second I saw the black vehicles pulling into the front driveway through the tall living room windows. My stomach tightened immediately, cold dread curling through me as two officers stepped out alongside a man dressed in a dark grey suit carrying a thin folder beneath his arm. Roman noticed them too. He had been seated across from me moments earlier, half distracted by paperwork from the company while tension still lingered heavily between us after everything with Anastasia. He has refused to answer my questions earlier, diverting his attention to the police arrival. The atmosphere inside the mansion had not recovered since that night. Nothing felt normal anymore. Not the silence. Not the glances between us. Not the fear constantly living beneath my skin. Roman slowly lowered the document in his hand, jaw tightening faintly as he stared toward the driveway. “They’re early,” he
A shaky breath left me as I pushed myself off the bed slowly. My legs almost gave out beneath me, exhaustion and panic crashing together violently inside my chest.Nothing felt real anymore.Not Viktor’s death.Not Roman.Not this house.Nothing.I grabbed the robe lying carelessly on the floor and slipped it on hurriedly, tying it tightly around my waist before walking toward the large windows near the far side of the room.Rain had started falling outside.Soft at first.Thin streaks against the dark glass.I wrapped my arms around myself and stared blankly into the night.Roman was downstairs.Probably still arguing with Anastasia.And the worst part?She had won.Maybe not fully.Maybe not yet.But enough.Enough to destroy whatever fragile thing existed between Roman and me.A bitter laugh escaped softly from my lips.Roman Morozov.The same man who kissed me like he would burn the world for me was now going to marry another woman because she held power over us.My chest tightene
The room fell into stunned silence after Anastasia’s words.I could barely hear anything beyond the violent pounding of my heartbeat.Roman stood rigid a few feet away from her, every muscle in his body tense with fury while Anastasia remained perfectly composed.Like she had walked in here tonight expecting this exact moment.Like she had already planned every move ahead of us.Roman laughed once suddenly.Cold.Disbelieving.“You’ve lost your mind.”Anastasia’s expression never changed.“Not at all.”“You break into my house, take pictures, accuse Elena of murder, and now you think you can threaten us?”“I’m not threatening you.” She tilted her head slightly. “I’m giving you options.”My grip tightened harder around the sheets.“This is insane,” I whispered.Anastasia ignored me completely.Her eyes stayed fixed on Roman.“You’re already engaged to me anyway,” she said smoothly. “This simply speeds things up.”Roman’s jaw tightened sharply.“You really think blackmail is going to ma
Roman leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled in front of his mouth, studying the case files like a predator circling its prey. “We need to think about motives. Who would benefit from this? Who would want Viktor out of the way?”I swallowed, my throat tight. “Business rivals, maybe. Or someone f
The world felt hollow when the news came. Viktor had been attacked. Shot. Someone had found him, targeted him, and left him bleeding in the streets. The details were vague, confusing, and terrifying. No one knew who had done it. No one knew why. And yet the instant I heard, a strange, cold surge of

I hugged my knees tighter, letting my mind drift through every stolen memory, every heated moment I had shared with him. That night in the penthouse, the kiss in the corridor, the way his hands had explored me with a possessive hunger that had left me dizzy… all of it, and now it was tainted. By re
