The times I’ve asked him directly, he’s told me it’s not a woman’s place to know “these dealings” in this man’s world, which is bullshit.I vacillate between anger and paralyzing fear. Anger at Dante and Alexei for their secrecy, fear that he’s gone to do another job but what if there’s more after this one? Frustration and worry have me in the kitchen at four in the morning, pouring myself a glass of vodka. I stand at the glass doors and look out into the vast back garden, the trees of the forest behind which is a twelve-foot solid wall topped with barbed wire.I wonder if either man would let me, though. A sound from inside the house has me turn toward the living room through which I can see the foyer. I hear the front door open and two men speak in hushed tones in Russian, and I find myself exhaling, thanking God.The door closes and quiet footsteps head to the stairs.I set my glass down o
Alexei POV “I don’t understand.” Talia glares at me, her fingers digging into my jacket. “Where could you possibly have to go without us?”“One day, sweetheart.” My lips graze her forehead, and she shudders beneath my touch.“That’s all I’m asking.”“One day for what?” she croaks. “I don’t want you to go anywhere. I need answers, Alexei. You promised me that you would be opened to me in everything.”“Talia,” Dante interrupts, saving me from having this conversation right now. “Alexei has to go. He won’t be gone long. In the meantime, you can help me pick out some furniture for the house.”Talia looks set to argue, but I give her a quick kiss just as Ethan comes flying into our path, tugging at Talia leg. “Can we go swimming now?”“Take the boy swimming.” I squeeze her hand in mine. “And don’t be too pissed off at me. I’ll be back just as soon as I can.”Talia calls after me, but Dante steps in and gives me a moment to make a quick exit. It’s not that I want to leave her behind, but t
Aria POV Five days later, I gave birth to Matteo in a guest room of our mansion with Talia and Viktor help, the homebirth I’d always dreamed of.All pain was forgotten as I marveled at the little boy on my chest, at his crumpled face. He was a big baby with brown eyes and dark brown hair.Talia kissed my cheek. “He’s beautiful, Aria.” She was covered in sweat and blood, but was smiling.Viktor stood beside the bed, watching the doula who’d supported us, only ever so often glancing my and Matteo way. “Why don’t you try if he latches on?” Talia asked.Matteo was already squirming toward my breast and making small sucking motions. Talia helped me and after a few tries, he finally latched on.The doula left fifteen minutes later and shortly after Talia did too. Viktor bent over me, kissing my forehead. “You are so strong, Aria.”I raised my gaze from Matteo and smiled at Viktor. He gently covered Matteo back with his palm. “I’d always condemned people who accepted their fear, who didn’t
Aria POV Noah rolled over on his stomach and pushed onto his knees then braced himself on his hands, shoving his butt into the air.At only ten months, he was already hellbent on starting to walk with his bum in the air, he peered up, unsure how to straighten. He grinned when he saw me watching and my heart exploded with love.“Viktor!” I called. Two days past my due date, I had trouble rising from the sofa without help, much less bend down to pick up Noah. Viktor hurried into the gaming room, alarm on his face. “Contractions?”I shook my head, stroking my belly. “Massimo seems pretty content in there. I really hope he comes soon. I feel like I’m bursting any day now.”Viktor slowly came over and spotted Noah still in his awkward position. He picked him up and raised him up over his head, much to Noah delight. He wasn’t a very vocal baby, definitely not as loud or boisterous as Ethan.“He was trying to stand,” I said. Viktor came toward the sofa, sank down beside me and set Noah down
Aria POV I flinched every time my uncle’s stifled cries rang out as Alexei and Viktor broke each of his fingers. My eyes weren’t on my uncle, though, but instead on my husband’s face. His expression was unreadable as he watched my uncle like he was conducting some sort of experiment.Soon, they b

Aria POVI immediately looked away from him and fighting the weak tears at the corner of my eye.I saw him remove his boxers, and then he climbed on the bed naked.
