Ana’s POV. The door to the room was wide open? Like a thief ran into it and it made me shiver in fear. My hands raised half way in shock while my mouth was left wide open. I couldn’t believe it was the same person and now he’s in the USA. “Where is she?!“ He exclaimed as he turned down to the other corner of the room like he had no clue I was lying right in front of him. I had my brows furrowed and my head bent halfway. I was astonished when I saw him. my elder brother; Nikolei. “My baby sister,” He expressed regret and I could see the wrinkles down the sides of his mouth as he walked quickly and gave me a hug.“Sister, I hope you’re safe?” He asked, his eyes rolling over my face and his hands rubbing through my shoulders while his mouth was still half way opened. His expression showcased fear and at the same time, accomplishment. “Brother, I didn’t know you’d come,” I replied, as I hugged back and watched the maiden who was attending to me right then, as she bent with her hands b

Massimo’s POV. “…What the hell do you mean by that?” I asked, holding the phone steady on my ear. “Boss, I’m trying to tell you that everything happening now hasn’t been following our plan. I’m trying the best I can to convince the driver to be here as fast as he could. I wouldn’t be here till now, please give me some more time.” He pleaded. “Marcello, I’ll try to call you in less than an hour, you’ll have to wait and let me have some time with my right hand man. Rome would be here in less than…” the door opened and Romeo entered, I was shocked because he came in so fast and I didn’t detect he would be the one standing as he did. I exhaled and calmed my nerves and continued with the call right away. “…okay Marcell, I’ll call you back, he’s already here, make sure you guys get the package across the border and try to get in touch with me from time to time.” I hung up and turned to Rome as he walked up to me while I whispered. “I think there’s going to be a glitch somewhere.” Rome

Ana’s POV.“Dad, don’t bother yourself, I’ll be alright,” I sounded so childish on the phone as I spoke to my dad that morning. He felt so bothered and decided to speak to me immediately I woke up from sleep. “Daughter, you’ll have to be very careful, i'm quite aware the marriage has an essence, but at the same time, you’ll have to make it look as real as possible. The alliance shouldn’t be what it’s going to be centered on and as you know, the contract should span for at least a year before you can think of filing a divorce against him, maybe you could even grow to love him…”“Dad, that’s not happening, he isn’t the kind of person I’ll end up loving, Dad you’ve got to see the way he parades himself like a god in this premises, honestly I don’t like him that much, I’m not saying I hate him though, the love isn’t there, we’ll just have to act and play our roles as we’ve already agreed.” “Listen to me little princess, you’ve got to understand that I’m always watching after you, you’re

Massimo’s POV. I was so elated after such an encounter. It’s been a while since I had such pleasurable sex. I held her on me while she laid on my chest and picked the hairs there. She looked so relaxed and I hoped she was now settled with the uncommon hatred she had for me right from the very day I stepped foot in Russia. “Massimo,” She called and turned to me. Her eyes were so beautiful and I could feel the connection between us right away. It wasn’t the old me, I felt so relaxed and changed. “Yes,” I replied, smiling back. “Don’t you think maybe we should hang out together?” “What? Hang out? Ana, you just got rescued from the hands of some deadly kidnappers and I wouldn't want you to be taken again, maybe they could be planning something more dangerous.” I replied, my voice strong and affirmative. I was so surprised she actually talked about something like that. She would be in danger and maybe Viktor may have her butchered, just like he just did to Marcello. “Come on, you’re

Massimo’s POV. “I warned you about this, boss, and that was exactly what I felt, I knew he was going to ask for something in return, now see…” Rome said, as he accompanied me back to the vehicle. The meeting with the governor was such an intense one. I wasn’t ready to dwell on It. This was someone whom I thought would have my back because I was among the people who had him installed into that seat even though he wasn’t aware of it. “Rome, don’t worry, I’ll handle it my way,” I replied as I entered the vehicle and sat. My countenance was down and I felt like driving back home to have some sleep already because the meeting didn’t go as planned. “Boss, you heard what he said, he is going to make sure he gets you down if you don’t do as he says and trust me, if you don’t, you’ll be a long lasting enemy to him, we should have involved Mr. Volkov, at least he already has an alliance with us through his daughter, your wife!” “Rome, just keep your mouth shut and let’s head back home, we h
