A single, low-wattage lamp burned in the far corner of the drawing room, casting long, sharp shadows against the dark oak paneling. The air inside the closed space was thick and gray, smelling heavily of bitter Russian tobacco.

Viktor sat deep in a heavy leather armchair. He raised cigarette to his lips and inhaled, the brief glow of the orange cherry catching the thick, brutal scars along his jawline. He exhaled a slow plume of smoke toward the ceiling.

Carmina stood a few feet away. Her dark

  • The Silence Of His Vows   Chapter 300

    My hands gripped the marble vanity tighter, my knuckles turning white.I should be the angry one! A sudden, bitter resentment surged through my chest, battling the overwhelming grief. He kidnapped me!He dragged me out of my home and locked me in a cage. He terrified me. He had used me as a pawn in his brutal war. But despite all of the terror, despite the nightmares and the captivity, I had tried to put the past behind us. I had forgiven the unforgivable because I wanted to survive. I wanted to give this life a chance."Do I not deserve happiness?" I asked my reflection, my voice cracking out loud in the empty bathroom. "Just a little bit of peace?"I stared into my own red, weeping eyes. My chest heaved, my breath hitching as I looked at the absolute wreck I had become. The last layer of my denial finally crumbled.I had fallen in love with him.I loved a monster.I didn't even know when it happened. Maybe it started long before I ever knew his real name. Maybe it was slowly buildin

    LUNA POVThe cold water ran from the bathroom faucet, spiraling down the drain. I gripped the edges of the marble vanity, staring blankly at my reflection in the massive mirror.My face was flushed, my skin pale, and my eyes were heavily swollen from another night of crying. A fresh tear slipped over my lashes, tracking slowly down my cheek before hitting the porcelain sink with a quiet, hollow tap.Why are you being so pathetic, Luna?I wiped my face roughly with the back of my hand, but the tears wouldn't stop. They just kept falling, hot and humiliating, stinging my raw skin.It had been exactly one month.Thirty agonizing, suffocating days since the fire. Thirty days since the invisible wall had slammed down between us, turning the man who had finally made me feel safe back into a stranger.At first, I had tried to be understanding. I told myself he was grieving. He had lost his people, and as the Pakhan, he carried the weight of that tragedy alone. I thought he just needed space

  • The Silence Of His Vows   Chapter 298

    The heavy leather of the punching bag groaned under the brutal force of Killian’s fists. Crack. Crack. Crack. He didn't wear gloves. His knuckles were wrapped in white tape, but the fabric was already soaked through with dark, blossoming patches of his own blood. He didn't feel the pain. He pulled his right arm back and delivered a devastating hook. It had been exactly one week. One week since the warehouse burned to the ground. One week of suffocating silence echoing through the halls of the mansion. He drove his knee into the heavy bag, the chain rattling violently from the ceiling. Every time he closed his eyes, the smell of ash filled his lungs. He saw the thirty black body bags lined up on the concrete. He heard the dying Italian’s voice echoing in his skull, branding his wife as the traitor. He wanted to kick the bedroom door open. He wanted to shake her, to corner her and demand the truth until her voice gave out. But then he would walk into the dining room and see the she

    The dining table was set for one."Good morning, ma'am," Daisy said softly as I walked in. She poured a fresh cup of coffee and set it on the table. She gave me a polite, sympathetic smile. "The Pakhan left the estate about an hour ago."I stopped, my hand resting on the edge of the chair. I just gave her a slow nod, keeping my face carefully blank.Daisy bowed her head slightly and walked back into the kitchen.I sat down alone in the quiet dining room. My heart gave a painful, uneasy throb. Ever since we had moved past our brutal beginning, Killian had never left the mansion without telling me. Even if I was fast asleep, he would always wake me up just enough to kiss me and tell me he was going out.I forced myself to be rational. Yesterday was a tragedy. I couldn't expect him to act like everything was normal.I spent the rest of the day waiting. The mansion felt completely empty. I sat in the living room, watching the clock tick away the hours. The afternoon turned into evening, a

    LUNA POVI paced the length of the living room, my bare feet sinking into the thick Persian rug. The grandfather clock in the corner chimed 4:00 AM.Tears spilled over my eyelashes. I wiped them away with the back of my trembling hand, but they kept falling. My mind was consumed by the terrified faces of those women and children. I prayed silently, begging whatever God was listening to keep them safe. To let Killian pull them out of the fire alive.The heavy front doors unlocked with a loud click.I stopped pacing. I hurried out of the drawing room and into the grand foyer.Killian stood in the doorway. His white shirt was soaked in dark blood and coated in thick black soot.I didn't think. I just ran across the marble floor and threw my arms around his torso, burying my face against his chest. I didn't care about the blood or the dirt. I just needed to know he was alive.For a terrifying second, he stood completely rigid. His hands hovered in the air. Then, slowly, his heavy arms wra

    The heavy iron door groaned as Killian pushed it open. He walked down the raw concrete steps into the damp, freezing cellar. The air down here smelled of wet earth, dust, and old copper.He stopped at the bottom of the stairs. He took off his dark jacket, dropping it onto a wooden crate. He unbuttoned the cuffs of his white shirt and rolled the sleeves up past his elbows.In the center of the room, four men were chained to heavy steel chairs. The harsh yellow light from the single overhead bulb illuminated their battered faces. They were bleeding from the firefight at the warehouse. Their dark clothes were torn and covered in soot.Killian stepped closer. He looked at the skin exposed by their torn collars. Black ink crawled up the side of their necks.The distinct crest of the Italian syndicates.The man chained to the far left lifted his head. He spat a thick wad of blood onto the concrete floor. He looked up, a dark, mocking smile spreading across his bruised face."Look who graces

    Third Person POV:The study was dark.One lamp cast long shadows. Curtains drawn. Door closed.Killian sat behind the desk, motionless.The laptop screen glowed in front of him, casting blue light across his face. On it, something played. The angle made it impossible to see what.His hands rested f

    Time stopped.I didn't know how long we stood like that—him caging me against the bookshelf, his hands on my neck and in my hair, his body so close I could feel the heat radiating off his damp skin.His thumb pressed against my pulse, feeling the frantic rhythm.And something inside me snapped.My

    The room had a window.I stood in front of it, my fingertips pressed against the glass. Outside, trees swayed in the wind. Real trees. Green leaves catching afternoon light.I could see sky.I lifted my right hand and placed it against the glass beside my left. The gauze was gone now. The bandage r

    I was lying on the bed when I heard it.Not the slot opening. Not the familiar scrape of a tray sliding across metal.The lock.The actual lock turning.I sat up, my heart suddenly pounding against my ribs.No one opened that door. The meals came through the slot. Everything came through the slot.
