The escape plan

Anya's POVThe moment Nikolai and Sofiya walked out of the apartment, I looked at Violet and gave her a quick wink for her ten over ten performance.She smiled and I signaled with my hand that I would call her later. She nodded in response. I walked out and followed the others to the car.Sofiya had already scrambled into the front seat, clearly trying to avoid Nikolai’s temper. I had no choice but to sit in the back with him. As the driver started the engine, Nikolai turned to me, his face full of regret."Anya, I’m so sorry. I should have—""Don't say anything," I interrupted, staring straight ahead. "I don't want to hear it. I just want to go home, and as soon as we get there, I am leaving. I am done with this."Nikolai let out a heavy sigh and looked away. "Drive," he told the man behind the wheel.I watched the city lights pass by, thinking about how close I had come to being caught. But I had been prepared for a day like this.Okay, I won't take all the credit because it was act

Prey or Predator?

Nikolai's POVAfter Anya left, the house felt as quiet as a graveyard. I sat at the head of the long dining table, staring at a plate of food I hadn't touched. Every time I looked at the empty chair at the other end, the image of Anya walking out with her suitcases flashed through my mind.The silence was broken by the soft footsteps of one of the maids. She stopped a few feet away, her head bowed."Sir," she whispered. "I tried to take Ms. Karpova’s dinner to her, but she wouldn't open the door. She hasn't come out of the room since you returned.” She announced.I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment, rubbing the bridge of my nose. Guilt gnawed at me from both sides. I was mourning the possible loss of my wife, yet I couldn't ignore the woman who had spent five years in a hell I couldn't even imagine.After the humiliation at Anya's friend's apartment and my shouting, it was clear Sofiya was spiraling again. She was fragile, and the events of tonight had likely triggered another pa

Daddy issues

Anya's POVIt's been two days since I left the Vetrov mansion, Nikolai called me almost ten times a day trying to convince me to come back but my demand remained the same. As long as Sofiya remained in that house, I wasn't coming back.In the meantime, Irina and I had spent time finding a new house for Lidiya and Viktor. It was a modest place, tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood.This was only the second time we had moved in the last two months, and yet the exhaustion was already starting to settle into my bones.Viktor was currently at school. I also thought it was a good idea putting him in a new school. I had been worried since the fight with his classmate and so it was the only positive thing about this change we were forced to make.I was in the middle of the sitting room, pushing a heavy armchair toward the window, when Lidiya walked in. She was carrying a stack of Viktor’s folded clothes, the frown on her face made the wrinkles around her eyes look like permanent sc

Sniper, get down!

Nikolai's POVI was sitting alone in my study room, nursing a glass of bourbon when my phone vibrated on the table.I reluctantly picked it up and took a look but it was a number I didn't recognize; clearly encrypted and untraceable.I set the glass down and picked it up. "Who is this?" I asked."Am I speaking with Nikolai Vetrov?" a gravelly, low voice asked.“It depends. Who are you and how did you get this number? And don't expect me to ask a third time.” I retorted impatiently.“Aha, I think I am speaking with the right person then. I was told that patience was not your strongest suit. My name is Mikhail Sazonov, ring a bell?”I froze as I heard that name, my memory quickly refreshed. He was the sniper guy from the Chyòrnyy predél mercenary group.“Mr. Sazonov.” I muttered, curious to know what he wanted.“Yes, the very one you have been wrongfully hunting for months. I didn't kill your brother, Mr. Vetrov.”“Hmm…” I hummed, calmly taking a sip of the drink. “Is that what you have

The Devil's own son

Nikolai's POVWithout giving Grigoriy Kuzmin the opportunity to escape, my men led the charge into the building. While Lev and the front team laid down a wall of suppressive fire against the rooftop, the second team breached the rear.I heard the radio chatter crackle in my ear: "He’s moving! Descending through the service stairwell!""Cut him off!" I barked, stepping out of the armored SUV as it skidded into the shadows of the loading dock.Grigoriy was fast, but not fast enough because he ended up trapped. He tried to burst through a narrow back door leading into an alleyway, hoping to disappear into the maze of shipping containers. He didn't make it five steps. Lev leveled him with a loud tackle, and three more men were on him before he could reach for the sidearm at his hip.We didn't waste time with pleasantries. We threw him into the back of a van and drove to one of our secure warehouses.When we arrived, the men strapped him to a steel chair bolted to the floor. The light from

Sofiya is missing

Nikolai's POVI drove all the way back home in a rush. As soon as I arrived at the estate, I went in search of Sofiya but I ran into Yelena on my way.“Master Vetrov, is everything alright?” She asked with a look of concern.“Where is she?" I demanded, my voice echoing off the marble. "Where is Sofiya?""Um… I am afraid that Ms. Karpova hasn't returned, Sir," Yelena answered.“And have you tried reaching the maid that you sent with her?” I queried. “Look at the time, Yelena. It's dark already.”“No Sir, I thought maybe they weren't done out there, and she has an escort with her. I will reach out to the maid immediately.” She said.As housekeeper, Yelena had control over all domestic staff, except the security personnel.She took out her phone and dialed the number, it rang but there was no answer. She slowly looked up at me with worry etched on her face."The maid, Galina, She isn't answering, Sir."A cold, hollow feeling opened up in my chest. “Of course she isn't answering.” I mutte

It's a trap

Anya's POV"Nik, you are walking into a trap, I know it. Ever since I left days ago, I have given it a lot of thought. I couldn't see it before because I was too angry, but now it finally makes sense. All of it."Nikolai looked at me, his eyes dark with a mixture of impatience and pain. "What makes sense? I am lost here, what are you talking about, Anya?"“Sofiya of course! Her return to this house, everything. Think about it; Did you really just learn about her by chance or did they want you to find her?” I reasoned.“What? Anya, that is ridiculous. I found her by myself in the hospital.”I frowned. “Nikolai, you never mentioned to me that you found her yourself. What were you doing in the hospital when you found her?”“I was there because…” Nikolai suddenly froze and his expression changed. “Look, why I was there doesn't matter because it had nothing to do with her, so please don't start with another conspiracy, Anya. Not only have I had enough of those, but I also don't have time f

Played

Nikolai's POVFifteen minutes after driving out of the estate, I arrived at the docks that Sofiya had told me about. Anya's words kept ringing in my head and a small part of me was also starting to believe, but it wasn't worth the risk.I had failed Sofiya once, I couldn't afford to fail her a second time.The dock was quiet when I arrived, aside the sound of the water lapping against the piers. I looked around but there was no sign of anyone, that reassured me. I quickly found the warehouse that Sofiya told me about. I drew my Glock, my thumb flicking the safety off before I slowly pushed the door open.The warehouse was dark and almost empty but even if there was something in it, I couldn't see for sure."Sofiya?" I whispered. “Are you here?”There was no response at first and so I tried to reach for my phone to turn on my torchlight, but just then I heard her voice.“Nikolai?”I looked up immediately, my eyes darting to the direction of her voice. That was when I saw her; just a f

Revelation

Nikolai's POVI looked at Sofiya, unable to believe what I was seeing. "Sofiya, what is going on here?"She walked closer to me, looking me up and down. "Hubby, you are one of the smartest people in the world, but only when you are using your head and not your heart. Remember when I said you changed and I liked the new you better? I lied. Heartless Nikolai was so much hotter." She giggled.So it was true, she was working with Alessandro the whole time. Anya warned me but I didn't listen. But why?"Sofiya, that heartless Nikolai is the reason all of this happened to you," I said, my voice raspy. "I am trying to be better. I feel guilty enough for what I did to you five years ago. If you are trying to punish me, then go ahead and do it, but don't do this to yourself, aligning with this man." I spat in disgust.She laughed and reached out, touching my abs. "Whatever you say, Nik. Anyway, to answer your question, after I was shot, I didn't die. That, you already know. I was Alessandro’s p

Rescued

Nikolai's POVAnya ran straight to me, pulling me into a fierce embrace. She pressed her face into my shoulder, and I felt her hot tears against my skin."Nikolai," she whispered, her voice trembling. “I am so glad that you are alive.”I leaned my head against hers, closing my eyes. "My love... you have no idea how happy I am to see you."She pulled back just enough to look at me. "Let me guess, 'you owe me your life' kind of happy?" she asked, a small, watery smile breaking through her distress.I let out a weak, dry chuckle that hurt my chest. "Something like that. Maybe even more."I leaned down, capturing her lips in a kiss, I didn't mind the salty bitter taste from the sweat. After a few seconds of savoring the moment, we broke apart, both of us breathing heavily, and she quickly scanned the floor. “I see the keys,” she said and snatched it up.“Great, because I have a feeling these chains won't be sawed off without leaving me paralyzed.” I said and she laughed while fumbling wi
