Years of buried agony, the endless searches, the fights with Ivan, flashed behind her eyes.

Sofia let the tears fall now, uncaring that either of them saw. She curled into herself, as sobs scraped out of her throat, horrified that this was every thought her sister harbored against her for weeks.

This was the reason for all those untoward cruelty she’d swallowed just to keep the peace.

“Do not,” Vanya whispered as she pointed a shaking finger right at Tasya’s. “Do not dare bring your brother in

    He let out a soft, amused chortle, shaking his head. “No, ma'am. Definitely not a guard.”“Then are you a student from Tasya’s college?”“Who? The birthday girl?” He scoffed under his breath, a sarcastic grin playing at the corner of his mouth. “I wish. Do I look like I have a trust fund?”He gestured down at his attire, and that’s when Sofia looked closely at his outfit for the first time.He was wearing a formal white serving shirt and black trousers, though the shirt was marred by a large, dark crimson stain spreading across the left side of his chest and ribs.“Ah,” Sofia said, the pieces falling into place. “You’re part of the catering staff serving drinks downstairs.”“Glad you could tell,” he replied, his tone laced with a dry, playful irony that surprisingly didn't offend her.“Then why are you wandering around the private family quarters?” Sofia asked.The guy sighed, rubbing the back of his neck in genuine frustration. “Some drunk college bum downstairs took offense to my ha

  • The Mute Bride For The Don   On That Very Day…

    The evening of Tasya’s twentieth birthday arrived. She had invited only the best of the best people from her college to grace what she pegged “the event of the year”.Indeed, there was an avalanche of them pouring in through the double doors, oohing and aahing as they took in the sprawling estate.Upstairs in her bedroom, Sofia sat near the edge of her bed, already a nervous wreck as she tried to place her feet flat against the plush carpet.Her father’s words from yesterday had done nothing but echo continuously through her mind:“Pain is a weak thought taking root in the mind... A Petrov does not bow to pain.”She grabbed the wooden side rail of her bed and pushed. She tried to force her body to bear weight, to stand upright on her own two legs as a gift to herself and to her father.But the agonizing, burning sensation of fire immediately shot straight up her calves into her spine.Her knees buckled instantly and she collapsed back into the soft cushions of her wheelchair with a qu

    Years of buried agony, the endless searches, the fights with Ivan, flashed behind her eyes.Sofia let the tears fall now, uncaring that either of them saw. She curled into herself, as sobs scraped out of her throat, horrified that this was every thought her sister harbored against her for weeks.This was the reason for all those untoward cruelty she’d swallowed just to keep the peace.“Do not,” Vanya whispered as she pointed a shaking finger right at Tasya’s. “Do not dare bring your brother into this to justify your vile, selfish jealousy. Your father has torn the world apart looking for him every single day of his life. Do not mock a grief you are too shallow to understand!”“I’m not mocking it!” Tasya cried out, backing away from them. “I’m just saying what everyone is too afraid to say! Sofia isn't one of us! She doesn't belong here!”“Enough!”Finally fed up of her insolent daughter’s rants, she grabbed her by the wrist with a grip so tight the girl winced.She forced Tasya’s han

  • The Mute Bride For The Don   The Ugly Truth…

    The stinging sound of Vanya’s hand against Tasya’s cheek echoed through the ballroom.Tasya’s head snapped sharply to the side, her dark hair flying across her face.For a heartbeat, nobody moved. Not even the workers peeking through the doors. Even Vanya’s hand was still shaking mid-air.Tasya lifted her head as her hand slowly came up to touch the ache blooming across her cheekbone.In her wheelchair, Sofia sat entirely paralyzed, holding her breath with the fear that the littlest sound would invite her sister’s wrath upon her.Her hands gripped the armrests so hard her knuckles turned a pale white.It wasn't as if she had lived her entire life completely blind to her origin. She’d known about it for years.But for the past few weeks, she’d been the target of Tasya’s cruel remarks for far too long. What she never expected was that their mother would strike Tasya in her defense.Though no one had ever voiced it out loud, Sofia had long made peace with her place in this family.Papa h

    Few hours later, the grand ballroom on the ground floor of the Petrov estate was a flurry of activities. The party was scheduled for the next evening, but Sofia had taken it upon herself to personally oversee the entire design and setup of the hall. Months ago, Tasya had casually mentioned her dream theme for her twentieth birthday. An understated, midnight-blue and liquid-gold aesthetic with floral arches and crystal ceiling drapes. Sofia had hired the top event designers in Moscow, paying for the decorations entirely out of her own pocket as an added surprise. Now, seated in her wheelchair in the center of the ballroom, Sofia was busy giving precise instructions to the crew of decorators hanging the gold drapes. “A little higher on the left arch, please,” Sofia called out gently, her hands resting in her lap. “Tasya prefers symmetry. And make sure the ambient lighting near the stage is soft gold, not harsh white.” The main double doors of the ballroom slammed open, and heels e

    She still kept her drawing as a secret hobby in her room whilst submitting completely to the grueling business life her father mapped out for her.But Tasya... Tasya had been granted the life Sofia could only dream of.Then, over the last three months, Tasya started treating her like an infection.Sofia reached out, adjusting the wheelchair’s left brake, but the gear caught stubbornly against the frame.She leaned over to force the lever forward, but her hands were already weak from the work she’d been doing.“Don’t push it. I’ll help you.”The deep rumble of her father’s voice made Sofia startle. She turned her head to see him cross the room.He crouched down in front of her wheelchair without a word. With one quick flick of his wrist, he fixed it in a single second.Before he straightened, Ivan reached up, his calloused fingers sliding gently into her dark hair, and pressed a soft kiss against her forehead.The truth that only he and Vanya knew was that he didn’t share a single drop

    Vanya.My body hurt all over, and my head ached from crying all night. I had no idea how much time had passed since I was dragged into this cold cell. There was no window or any reliable source of light.I collapsed on the floor as emotions rushed through me. Now that I was alone, I felt every wa

    Ivan.I’d just scrubbed the stench of Katya’s blood off my body, yet it remained clear that people no longer valued their miserable lives.I had spent years building order out of chaos. Every living, breathing person in this estate operated according to my rules. Every guard knew his place. Every s

  • The Mute Bride For The Don   The Don Is A Liar…

    Vanya I had heard the stories. Ivan Petrov was a ruthless man, a monster every soul in Moscow feared. A man who walks in secret, kills without mercy, the world believes he’s crippled while he tightens his grip on Moscow’s underworld. No one dared to cross him, not even now, when he lost the ab

    Ivan. The basement beneath the Petrov estate was always colder than the rest of the estate. Concrete walls, dim industrial lights, blood-spattered floor with the faint metallic scent that never quite washed away.I sat motionless in my wheelchair at the center of one of the cells, my black suit c
