All Chapters of Don Maxim's Plaything: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Livia was tense especially after I asked her that question. She didn’t know how I could know, but I did. Judging from the hush tones they were speaking in and the way they longingly held onto one another as they were saying goodbye, I knew I was spot on“ You don’t have to tell me anything, but I already know the truth. We are married. I would appreciate some disclosure. I don’t expect you to lie to me anymore.”She seems like a deer cartoon headlights, but it didn’t look like she was getting ready to lie. She pulled me aside, but I knew she didn’t want to tell me anything.“Like I told you you don’t have to admit to anything right now. I just don’t appreciate being lied to.”“I didn’t mean to lie to you. You have to understand she’s Italian and you have Italian enemies. I didn’t want you to think that I was involved with them in some way. not to mention that she’s involved with some gang leader. She didn’t tell me who it was, but she once let it slip and I could tell she regretted it

Everyone was telling me one thing and I was starting to believe that it was true even though I didn’t want to. My brother and I had been at odds ever since my mother came into town.He was so quick to judge me and blame me for always taking her side, but he didn’t understand what we had been through when she left our father.I had done everything I could to protect her, and she was the only one I had at my lowest and when no one else was there for me.I had grown up a chubby kid who was bullied all the time in school, but it only took my mother one day to come to school and people suddenly respected me.I never knew what she did or what kind of strings she pulled. All I knew was that I was never bullied again after that day.She did everything she could to feed me, clothe me, buy me toys and make me happy despite all the financial difficulties we were having. My father didn’t want to provide anything as long as he wasn’t with my mother.He made it clear that he wasn’t going to support

Our honeymoon didn’t last long, especially after Nikita called me. Livia and I were at a hotel having dinner. She hadn’t touched her phone and I hadn’t touched mine, but that didn’t mean we didn’t carry them with us.If we didn’t carry them, how would we know if an emergency arose? My line of work needed me to be alert at all times and to be ready for anything which I was.We were talking about our lives and reminiscing about our past when my phone buzzed and I removed it from my pocket. We stared at the name on the screen, wondering why my cousin was calling after I specifically said that we didn’t want anyone to bother us during our vacation.But my annoyance quickly faded when I realized that he wouldn’t have called if it wasn’t an emergency.Something had to be wrong to make him call.“Should I pick the call? He can handle things without me you know.”My fingers itched to slide the answer button so I could talk to him, but I didn’t want to risk upsetting Livia. This was our one ch

“What happened? You two are back from your honeymoon so soon? This is less time than I even predicted. I knew that man couldn’t stay away from his job longer than he needed to. He’s addicted to his work.”I could only laugh in response because I knew she was right. “How was Thailand?”“It was beautiful. I have a lot to tell you but I am afraid we don’t have enough time.”She agreed and we planned to hang out soon so we could gossip and catch up.“Why can’t we tell Kira you’re back?” She suddenly asked. I wondered how I was going to phrase the whole thing. Sonya was also close to Mikhail and the whole situation was crazy. Plus, I wasn’t sure if he was really planning to take over or people were just spreading rumors because they knew the two brothers weren’t getting along at the moment.“We had to come back. This wasn’t something I was even going to stop him from doing. Things are not going great.”Sonya looked worried. She had started slowly taking over her duties from her father. F

I didn’t want Liivia to come with me to confront my brother, but she finally convinced me to let her. She said she wanted to be a part of it just as much as I was because it was all her fault.I specifically told her that it wasn’t her fault, but she insisted that if it wasn’t for her, Moya wouldn’t have had an excuse to hate on me and convince Mikhail that I was the bad guy and he was supposed to be the new leader.After some pouting and her giving me the silent treatment, I finally agreed. I hated that I was forced to bring my fucking soldiers with me when going to have a conversation with my brother.However, I had to be safe. He was someone I no longer recognized and I couldn’t take chances because I didn’t know what he had planned.I was supposed to go over there guns blazing, hoping he wouldn’t attack me and kill me in the process. That was the kind of person our mother had turned us into. When I started leading the Russian mafia, I hoped to have only people I trusted in my corn
