NINETY-ONE

AnnaMy...My what?!"Oh! Speaking of..." Ophelia claps her hands together excitedly. "I have great news! I spoke with the president of the Rochester Club and he said they'd be open to hosting your ceremony on their grounds next spring! I already paid the reservation fee, so all you have to do is⁠—""Excuse me?!"Now, we're drawing attention. But I don't care. I'm so beyond caring at this point."Have you lost your goddamn minds?" I look between my parents. "Are you high? Seriously, I'm asking as a literal health question.""I've had about enough of your insolence, young lady!""And I told you we're done! Collins and I are not getting married!"Stewart leans forward and drops his voice to a low hiss. "You will do as I damn well tell you! We've worked too hard for too long, cleaning up after your mess! You will sit there and act the part or God help me..."My jaw is practically on the floor in disbelief. "You're serious? You're actually serious?" I place a hand on my giant baby belly.

NINETY-TWO

AnnaBy the time we get back to the penthouse, I'm completely drained.I cried most of the way here. Now, I'm just... I don't know.Existing.I don't know what I envisioned for my life in the long run. A husband, kids, successful career? Yeah, but... I also wanted my family to be there. I thought I'd be able to see my babies giggle and run to their loving grandparents, who in turn would move heaven and earth for them just to see them smile.Maybe I wanted what I knew I could never have.Maybe now, I'm finally accepting that this is how things are."I'll be okay," I mumble to Dom at the elevator. "I'll text you when I'm up?"He nods. "I'll hold you to it."When Viktor first introduced me to this life of constantly being surrounded by bodyguards and security personnel, I thought it would drive me insane. I didn't trust the team he assigned to me, and I didn't like the feeling of having my freedoms stripped away.Now? I couldn't be more grateful. I can't even drive with how big my stomac

NINETY-THREE

Viktor"Hey, Viktor! How was your⁠—"I cut Anna off with a kiss that lets her know just how much I missed her while I was gone. Airport food and hotel breakfasts are nothing compared to the taste of her."We don't have much time." I lock the door behind me and yank my jacket off. "I have a meeting with my vors in about half an hour, and they're on their way."Anna's eyes widen. "I could have brought you lunch or something.""You are lunch."The wheels of the jet hit the tarmac less than an hour ago, right on time for me to make the early afternoon meeting I'd scheduled with my men to go over the next few months of planning while I'm basically on paternity leave.But there's no fucking way I'm going to make it through that meeting if all I can think about is burying myself in Anna. That's why I texted her to meet me at my office.I pull her with me toward the overstuffed chair. The dress she's wearing is driving me fucking wild—the skirt is almost too short, thanks to our baby inside h

NINETY-FOUR

ViktorI scowl at the apartment building. "You could come with me to the office instead of this, you know.""You and I both know that if I go to your office with you, you won't be getting any work done."I grin. "I fail to see the problem with that."Anna leans over the console to kiss my cheek. "I'm going to hang out here at Blair's, show her the new ultrasounds. You're going to go be the sexy, powerful, responsible CEO of Ivanov International.""I'd rather be irresponsible.""Be good, and I'll reward you later."My scowl remains, but I scoop the back of Anna's neck and kiss her back. "Fine. You drive a hard bargain, but I accept."I slide out of the car and walk over to her side to help her out. Strongly independent as she is, we've reached the point in her pregnancy where getting in and out of vehicles is exhausting."Be good," she reminds me as she takes my hand and emerges. "And I'll wear that red nightie you got me."As she walks away, she flips up the hem of her skirt to give m

NINETY-FIVE

AnnaIt all happens so fast. I don't even remember how I got here; I just know that Collins is on me, breathing, grunting, grinding.Then the door swings open. A familiar smell. That undeniable tightening in my gut.I look up and see him and scream, "Viktor! Thank God! Get him off me!"Viktor's face is a mask of things I don't know how to read. But right now, all that matters is that he grabs Collins by the nape of the neck and hurls him aside like a ragdoll.A flurry of punches. Collins collapses.I try to breathe, try to speak, but none of it goes well. Crying is about all I'm good for right now. "He followed me here. He snuck in... I tried to stop him...""Where's Blair?" Viktor growls."Her family—someone got hurt. I don't know where. I just..." I touch the apartment door for balance because the whole floor feels like a tossing ocean at the moment. "I just fed her cat. Tried to leave...""Did he hurt you?"I hiccup and shake my head. "He was going t-to... but you... you...""Let's

NINETY-SIX

AnnaI need to stretch my legs. The closer I get to my due date, the heavier I feel and it causes cramps in my calves.I just feel too drained to do anything other than check the mail.Nik and Rina insist on joining me, while Asya starts making dinner."By the way," Rina says once we're in the elevator, "I saw the security footage from the restaurant. I am so fucking proud of you.""And a tiny bit scared," adds Nik. He winks at me. "Just you wait. We'll have you running interrogations in no time."I muster up a feeble smile.Then the elevator opens and that smile dies a nasty death."Well, well. What perfect timing."My blood ices over. Just when I thought things couldn't get possibly worse, she has to show up."I was just on my way up to offer my condolences." Diana flashes me her wicked smirk. "Thanks for saving me the trip.""You can't be here," Rina snaps at her."I can, and I am." Diana scoffs and gives her a onceover. "This isn't your corporate tower. You have no say here.""The

NINETY-SEVEN

ViktorNothing is going as planned.Truth be told, nothing has gone as planned since the night I decided ruining a movie premiere would get me what I wanted.Did I get the girl? In a manner of speaking, yes.Is it because I let my dick take over my brain?... Possibly.I've been wanting to blame everything that's happened—or not happened—on my inability to ignore a pretty face. That would be easy. That would be something I could explain away.But it would be a lie.My plans literally went up in flames when I saw her face. When I felt her near me.When she stole my breath—and everything I am—with one single fucking kiss.Now, our child is due any day, and I'm sleeping (and drinking) away each day in the corporate office. Years ago, I had it fitted for temporary overnight stays just in case something happened with work to keep me here. Never did I fathom I'd be staying here because I'm trying to avoid going home.Coward.It hasn't been easy. I want nothing more than to rush home, sweep

NINETY-EIGHT

Viktor"What do you want me to do?""For starters, stop running. Stop hiding." She looks me over, disdain growing on her face. "Stop lying.""Lying?"I don't know what she's talking about... but something in my gut already stings at the accusation."You told Anna you'd be there for everything. For every moment. Through every hardship." She sighs and gives me that look again. "First sign of trouble, you tucked tail and ran."That painful feeling spreads. I think some people call this guilt. I despise it. "I didn't⁠—""Yeah, you fucking did. Call it whatever you want; nothing changes what it is."I don't have anything to say in my own defense. I'm not sure there's anything that can be said to justify the fact that I'd rather sleep on a futon than next to the mother of my child. The woman I said I loved.The woman I swore I'd never leave.Irina shakes her head again and grabs her bag. It seems like there's something more she wants to say, but she decides against it and sees herself out o

NINETY-NINE

AnnaI don't know what else to do. I've tried everything.I've tried calling him. Texting him. Video chat. Email. I even googled "carrier pigeon."Viktor wants nothing more to do with me.Rina's been a listening ear, but she doesn't know what Viktor is doing or why he's ghosting me. Nik is the same; he even took me for a smoothie run just to help me get out of the house for a bit. Asya visits me every day to make sure I eat. I'm pretty sure if she didn't, I wouldn't be eating at all.Thursday was the final straw that broke the camel's back. I asked Dominik to drive me to the office, thinking that maybe it was time to face Viktor in person. We got there, he escorted me into the building, and we were stopped by security."Apologies, ma'am—you're not cleared for entry."My heart dropped into my stomach. "Are you sure? I'm Anna. Viktor's girlfriend." I rested a hand on my swollen womb just for good measure.The guard solemnly nodded. "I'm sure. I'm sorry, but we can't let you through."Ev

ONE-HUNDRED.

ViktorI tug against the chains for the hundredth time. "Is this really necessary?"The officer who's been staring at me blankly for a solid hour doesn't respond.Typical.I've been here for what feels like forever, though time has little meaning here. There are no windows in this room. The only way I know how long it's been is the Rolex on my wrist.On the one hand, it's only been three hours since they arrested me.On the other hand, it's been three fucking hours since they dragged me in here and chained me to the table.Finally—finally—the door opens and someone who looks like he's in charge comes swaggering in."Mr. Ivanov." The man pulls out a chair and sits across the table from me. "I'm Special Agent Aaron Smithson. Apologies for the wait." He frowns at the cuffs chafing my wrists. Then gestures at them with a glance to the officer still standing in the corner. "Seriously?"The officer sighs, then lumbers over to uncuff me."I'm assuming, Mr. Ivanov, that you're not going to lu
