Vladimir:“Boss, I have bad news” Luka said once I walked into the office. I frowned in confusion when I saw his worried state, and his eyes which widened when he saw Eliana walking inside behind me. His eyes met hers for a second then he shook his head at me making her frown in confusion.“What’s going on Luka?” I asked.“It’s the Morris family” Luka said avoiding Eliana’s eyes. She frowned at both his words and sudden worry. she walked toward him wanting to find out what was in the paper which he was extending to me. I stood behind her and took the paper from her making her raise an eyebrow, reading it before clenching my fists.“Vladimir?” Eliana asked as she watched my every movement. Her eyes met mine and I shook my head, wrapping my arms around her before she could try to take the paper again as to read it.“I’m so sorry, malyshka” I whispered to her. She pull

Vladimir:“I managed get her to eat something, but she really does need help, Vladimir”“What do you suggest, Aurora? I’ve tried everything to get her out of the room. She left it for less than an hour and walked back today” I said looking the woman in the eye. She sighed and nodded pinching the bridge of her nose as she fought to think. The fact that my brother was the cause of what my wife was feeling killed me more than I could admit, and the fact that I couldn’t tell her that her parents were killed by him; it just made me feel like I was cheating on her by hiding this from her.“Try taking her out of the city for a while? Maybe out of the States all together?” Aurora suggested “believe me, Vladimir, she will end up hurting herself if she stays in this state. She feels helpless and alone, and I can’t blame her. The woman lost both her parents in one night, and she knows that she has a brother that d

Vladimir:I walked into the office to find Luka sitting on his leather chair in front of my desk reading through a few papers.“Good morning” I said raising an eyebrow.“What’s gotten into you?” Luka asked making me chuckle. His eyes met mine and he raised an eyebrow at my smirk before shaking his head at me “satisfied bastard”“Oh, shut up, as if you aren’t yourself” I teased. He laughed and shook his head at me before nodding at the papers in his hand making me raise an eyebrow. I took the papers from him and read through them before smirking, our businesses were crashing Viktor’s. The man’s weapons weren’t selling to anyone and his costumers have turned to us. Buying our merchants, some were already using and recommending them to others like they used to, and even better, others who were trying to compete with us when Viktor was doing so have backed away from the market leavi

Vladimir:“What do you mean that they want Eliana to decide on who their next don would be?” I asked Luka who shook his head. The two of us were in my office as the girls went out shopping, and I need I say the day was busy as hell.“Ian has disappeared, and I mean literally went MIA. But that’s not all anyway, the man never associated with his father to begin with. He never attended any of the invitations by his father’s side, and it seemed that despite him being James’s son, the man was never destined to be don after his father” Luka said making me frown in confusion “and since you and Eliana got married as to bring peace between the families, and with her being the living heir, in their eyes at least, James left his will to her to make the decision”“The man wanted to sell Eliana, is he sick?” I asked frowning “if she was his only ‘heir’ that would be able to decide anything w

Vladimir: I looked at Eliana, not expecting a reaction from her. Her own eyes studied my expression, though I knew that she didn’t doubt my words, she still didn’t expect them to come out from me. Especially since she knew that I wasn’t a man who wanted to settle. However, the words had come out before I could control myself. Not that I wanted to anyway, I wanted her to know how I felt about her. The feeling has been there for a while now, everyone with eyes could see it. But I knew that I needed to wait for the right time when the two of us were sure that we wanted to be together the way we were. The two of us were happy, that was something that no one could deny. The comfort she gave me was something that I wouldn’t replace for the world, and I just hoped that I could also return the favor to her. She stayed quiet for a while, though it was a minute later when she wrapped her arms around my neck and connected our lips in a soft, loving kiss. My own arms had
