Semua Bab Don Maxim's Plaything: Bab 211 - Bab 220

I followed Darko to the open bar so we could have a chat. Not many people were there, and it was a place where he and I could indulge in drinks as we spoke about whether or not he would help me.Kira was a problem we needed to get rid of as soon as possible. I didn’t care to know what her connection to Fabio was, but I didn’t want to wait. She was a ticking time bomb, and she needed to go.I didn’t like her close proximity to my brother. Who knew what secrets he was telling her and how many of those he would use against me?“Let’s get one thing straight. This is the one and only time I am helping you. This is not the start of a friendship or some sort of weird alliance. I still hate your guts, and I wouldn’t mind killing you right now. It turns out I value and I don’t want to lose it just yet.”I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Why would he agree to help me if he hated me so much? I didn’t understand it at all.“Don’t worry. I don’t keep friendships with people. I’m not interested

My ears were ringing and my head was buzzing. My vison was blurry as I looked around trying to remember what the fuck had happened. Then, it all came crashing back like an ugly wave of unwanted water.One moment, I was speaking to my brother, and the next, there was an explosion in the building she was in. When Mikhail and I neared the building, there was another explosion that sent us flying.I saw the yellow flames licking the building my wife was supposed to be in and I swear that I almost lost my fucking mind. I tried to rush in, but Mikhail grabbed me to stop me from going anywhere. I wanted to kill him for pulling such a stunt.“Let me go! I said, let me go, you idiot!” I yelled.He didn’t let me go in. Other men helped him hold me back while I watched the building burn. I heard sirens before firefighters rushed in and started putting out the fire. Only then did they let me go.I watched them pull body after body from the fire, and I was fighting back tears. I rarely cried, but

We were still at the party and I was avoiding Maxim. I should have known Darko would stir the pot and let it slip that we knew one another. He knew I was keeping my identity a secret. How was I supposed to explain how I knew?I successfully avoided him for a while until I saw Mikhail pull him to speak. I scanned the room to make sure Kira wasn’t looking at him. I spotted her across the room with Veronika speaking with a client and I walked towards them to make sure they didn’t realize Maxim and Mikhail had gone out to talk. As I approached, I heard how Kira was speaking to her business associate, I realized that she was talented in that area. She could have built a business and ignored all other things but she was harboring ill feelings for the Bratva. That would be the end of her. If you coupled that with her working with Fabio, she had signed her death certificate. If I knew anything about him, it was that he never left loose ends. He killed any outsider he worked with. That was

I woke up tied to a chair in a warehouse. There was immense pain shooting through my skull. My vision was hazy as I processed that I had been kidnapped by Kira again. I tried to wiggle my way out of the ropes, and I wasn’t able to break free.“Stop trying. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. Do you remember the time you had me kidnapped so you would get married in peace?” Veronika asked as she stepped into my line of sight and slapped me.When I tried to lift my face, she slapped me again.“You ruined everything. I could have been the queen of the Bratva and stayed by Maxim’s side, but you came along and everything changed. You deserve everything that will happen.”She was about to hit me again when Kira grabbed her arm to stop her.“Fabio will kill us for this. We were never supposed to take her. I hate you for convincing me this was a good idea. You fuck up, and it's dangerous for the two of us.”Veronika scoffed and pushed Kira away.“Why are you such a pussy? This woma

“She’s the daughter of the previous Pakhan of the Russian mafia. She’s the daughter he wouldn’t claim. She was from one of his previous mistresses, who was a prostitute working in one of his brothels. She got pregnant and gave birth to Kira.”“She spent her whole life trying to be his daughter, and he didn’t acknowledge her because he always wanted a son. When he died, she was crushed, and she decided she wanted to avenge him. That was when she curated the perfect character to infiltrate your organization. I think she believes that the throne should have been hers.”“A woman like that isn’t capable of feeling love. She might have sought validation from her father, but it’s not revenge that drives her. She wants your throne, and she’s coming for it. I have to give it to her. She’s not an easy woman to track down.”“She has covered all her tracks properly, and she’s very smart when it comes to business. She’s gotten to where she is solely by her own merit. No one has propelled her or he
