Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One Irina Midnight came too quickly. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the locked door. Alexei's offer echoed in my mind. One hour a day with Nikolai. In exchange for giving myself to him every night. Was it worth it? Alexei had made that offer before and I had accepted.  Accepting the second time for my baby won't kill me.  But Dmitri was here. Sleeping with his twin brother, knowing he was somewhere, suffering alone in a cell was heartbreaking.  How could I face him after? Would he ever forgive me? I thought of Nikolai's face.

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three Irina I woke up to someone shaking me. "Mrs. Irina! Mrs. Irina, wake up!" I opened my eyes. Lucia was standing over me, her face pale with fear. "What is wrong?"

I stiffened but did not resist. This was the deal. This was what I had agreed to. Alexei's hands roamed over my body.  I closed my eyes. "Look at me," Alexei commanded. I opened my eyes and met his gaze. "Better," he said.

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-NineIrinaI watched Dimitri give orders to Viktor's men.His voice was strong despite his weakened body.He was in pain, I could see it.But he had refused to stop until he found whoever did this."Spread out," Dimitri commanded. "Search every inch of this place. If you find anyone alive who is not one of ours, bring them to me."The men nodded and dispersed.Viktor stayed close to Dimitri."You should rest," he told his cousin."I will rest when this is done," Dimitri replied."You can barely stand," Viktor argued."Then I will sit," Dimitri said stubbornly. "But I am not leaving."I walked over to him."At least let me check your wounds," I said softly.Dimitri looked at me for a moment, his hard expression softened."Alright," he agreed.Viktor helped him sit on the edge of one of the vehicles.I lifted his shirt carefully. And nearly cried at what I saw. His torso was covered in bruises. Deep purple and black marks that looked painful even from a di
