All Chapters of Bought by the bratva boss: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Morning came slowly, grey light creeping through the thin curtains and spilling across the worn floor of Sofia’s bedroom. She hadn’t slept much. Every time she closed her eyes she heard her stepfather’s voice again, the strange excitement in it.You’re going to make me very rich.The words had stayed with her through the night.Sofia sat up in bed and rubbed her hands over her face, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling pressing against her chest. The apartment was quiet now. Her stepfather must still be asleep, passed out somewhere after finishing the bottle.For a moment she considered leaving.The thought had crossed her mind many times over the years. Running away, disappearing somewhere he would never find her. But every time she thought about it, reality settled in quickly. She had no money, no family who would take her in, and nowhere to go in a city as large and unforgiving as Moscow.Running sounded easy until you had nowhere to run to.Still, something about last night felt

The smile on the man with the clipboard didn’t change.He simply took the papers Sofia’s stepfather had signed and slid them neatly into a folder, as if they were nothing more than routine paperwork. The casual way he did it made Sofia uneasy.“Everything is in order,” the man said smoothly.He gestured toward the stage.“You can bring her up.”Sofia frowned. “Bring me where?”Her stepfather’s hand tightened around her arm. “Up there,” he muttered, nodding toward the girls standing beneath the bright lights.Sofia looked again.The line of girls suddenly made much more sense now, and the realization made her stomach drop.“No,” she said quietly.Her stepfather nudged her forward, her feet stayed planted.“What is this?” she demanded, her voice shaking.For the first time that evening, he looked directly at her with open irritation.“It’s simple,” he said. “You stand there.”“Why?”He gave a short, humorless laugh.“Because you’re being sold.”The words struck like ice water,she st

The doors of the club closed behind her with a heavy thud. The noise of the auction and the crowd faded instantly. Silence pressed in from all sides. Sofia’s pulse raced. Her stepfather’s hand had released her. She was now entirely in the hands of Alexei Volkov’s men.She expected rough treatment, a reminder that she was nothing. But the men guiding her moved with quiet efficiency. Their hands touched her shoulders only to steer, never to harm. There was a careful respect in the way they moved. It made the situation feel worse, somehow. She was being treated as someone important, someone owned by a man who needed no words to enforce control.Outside, the night air hit her sharply. The chill made her shiver through the thin dress she still wore. The sleek black car waited at the curb. Its polished surface gleamed under the streetlights, reflecting the city like a dark mirror. One of the men opened the door. Sofia stepped inside, leather seats cool against her legs. The faint scent of c

The door opened and Sofia looked up as Alexei walked in like nothing about the night had changed for him, like buying a human being was just another decision he had made and already moved pastHe shut the door behind him and for a moment he just stood there, watching her, just taking her in like he had all the time in the worldSofia didn’t look away, even though something about his presence made it harder to stand still, like the room had tilted slightly in his direction“You’ve been looking around,” he said“I wanted to understand where I am,” she replied“And what did you figure out”She gave a small shrug, glancing briefly at the room before looking back at him “It’s beautiful, but I can’t leave, so it doesn’t really matter what it looks like”A faint shift crossed his face, almost like he expected that answer“That’s one way to see it,” he saidSilence settled between them, not awkward, just steadySofia didn’t wait this time “Why am I here”He walked closer, slow, controlled, st

It hit exactly the way he intended it toBack to the stage, to the lights, to the men who had watched her like she was already theirs, like she wasn’t even a person, and for a second the memory pressed too close, too sharp, but she forced it down before it could show“You don’t leave room for choices,” she said quietly“I leave you the only one that matters”Silence stretched, not empty, not awkward, just heavy with everything sitting between them, and Sofia let out a slow breath before nodding once“Fine, I’ll do it”It wasn’t soft, it wasn’t obedient, it was survivalAlexei’s gaze lingered on her a moment longer than necessary, moving over her face with a kind of focus that felt deliberate, like he was studying the way she said it, the way she held herself, measuring something beyond the words“Not like that,” he saidHer brows pulled together slightly “What does that mean”“It means you don’t agree like you’re being forced,” he said as he stepped closer, unhurried, controlled, the
