IRINAElla said I should wait. The situation slapped me, telling me there was nothing I could do but wait. Unfortunately, no matter how long I waited, I still didn’t get the explanation I needed.“Where is he?” I asked, already feeling a nagging sense of unease this early in the morning. Ella was making breakfast for me, and even though I’d been pestering her with questions, she remained calm, as usual.“Ella? Are you so busy with your frying pan that you can't answer my questions?” I moved to stand beside her. She adjusted her apron and covered the pot of boiling soup."Ella, please."Ella sighed, as if I were a child who only knew how to interfere with adults’ work. I was looking for an answer, not a response that would make you feel embarrassed by it.“Boss Miron has already gone to work, as usual. Why are you asking when you already know this?”“He didn’t say anything? So, you think he just let me fall asleep, then he didn’t explain anything, and just went to work this morning?” I

IRINAIt took me two days to convince myself, after getting Gia's phone number, and for those two days I tried to act normal. Like, completely normal in front of Miron, Ella, even Cessy. They just thought I was still grieving, because I was quiet, unenthusiastic, and didn't have much of an appetite."What do you want to do today?" Ella asked, after several days of not asking me what I wanted, no longer monitoring my activities."I want to go out," I said calmly, still in my usual tone. "Without anyone watching.""You know you can't keep going like this, right, Mrs.?""Ella, do you think I have a purpose now? My in-laws say I'm infertile. My grandmother's dead. I lost my job. What else do you want? Me to die?"Ella's eyes widened, not accepting that I had said that part, as if it wasn't the right thing to say, as if I didn't deserve to say it."Stop saying negative things, it's not good for you.""Then let me do whatever I want from now on, do we have a deal?" I'm sure Ella sensed a ch

IRINAI made a major decision in my life, just as Maria had said. The only area not controlled by the mafia was Oregon, as the suburbs here weren't their business destinations.It was a big decision. I left home, taking only my remaining savings with me. No one knew I was leaving, because I had carefully considered my steps. There was no reason for me to stay there.My grandmother had passed away, and all that was left was my body and my baby's. I fought my way through, and four years passed. Starting a new life wasn't easy. I had truly gone through the hardest four years of my life."Oh my gosh, Aria!" I rushed over, running to the apple tree, taking off my gloves. My heart nearly exploded, watching my three-year-old daughter climb the tree."Mommy, Mommy, look," her voice was low, her tiny hand pointing at a butterfly on the tip of a branch."Aria? What did Mommy say about not being a bad girl?" I pinched the tip of her nose.I once saw Aria fall when I was too distracted gardening.

MIRON“Enough of your grief, Miron! It's been four years!” Tanya pulled me out of the club.Today, I wasn't drunk. However, I missed two important meetings, and I felt like I didn't care anymore. For four years, I had completely lost my way.A man of principle like me, a respected Pakhan, a mentality accustomed to violence. Suddenly, I felt so weak. I tried, and always tried, to maintain my position, but the years seemed increasingly difficult.Ever since my wife left me, and Irina disappeared from me, my world felt upside down. I know this sounds ridiculous. But losing half your soul, or rather, your entire sanity, is a difficult thing to handle.“I told you,” I pushed Tanya's hand away, “Stay out of my business!”“Since Papa asked me to monitor you personally, of course you know I have the right and responsibility for your behavior!”"I'm not drunk! I just want to calm down a bit," I said, about to go back inside. Tanya stopped me, dragging me away from the elite club.She gasped, s
