Viktor Blacktop Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

Alexei POV “You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” I choke on the words. “Your whole life, you’ve wanted what’s mine and that’s why you did it, isn’t it?”“Did what?” Lucas asks distractedly as he traces the curve of Talia throat with his gun.“Killed Ethan Carter and Officer Damon.”Lucas eyes snaps up to mine, and a sinister gleam flashes between his lips as they curl into a sickening smile. “You know about that?”His confirmation should come as no surprise, but the admission still feels like a knife to the heart.“Not everything.” I force the words out. “But you may as well tell me because I can guarantee you this. Only one of us is leaving here alive today.”He seems to consider it, but I know he’s just toying with me. If there is one thing I’ve come to understand about Lucas, it’s that he loves to poke at this wound.For years, I thought I had helped another kid I saw dying on the streets just like Ivan and even though we were not close, I still made him an underboss and he had more th

Alexei POV “Alexei.” Sergei opens the door to greet us, gesturing us inside with a solemn expression. This isn’t exactly the reunion either of us were expecting, but it is what it is.“Allow me to help.” He takes some of the burden off my shoulders as he slips his arm around Ivan right side, helping him through the entrance. “Viktor is upstairs.”I glance back at Talia, who is still in a daze but trying to hold it together for Ethan as she cradles him against her chest. More than anything, I want to take them both into my arms and make them forget everything that happened today but any comfort I might be able to provide will have to wait.The priority right now is ensuring their safety, and there isn’t much time.Aria enters the room, with Ivan wife, Aurora, not far behind, and they quickly take it upon themselves to assist in any way they can.“You’ve been through quite the ordeal, I’m told,” Aria says. “Let me show you to the bathroom where you can clean up, and then I’ll fix you s

Aria POV On Alexei request early thenext day I went clothes shopping for Talia and Ethan. Viktor was busy visiting the government office in town to discuss something about some files or drive and Alexei hated shopping, which left Sergei with the task of playing babysitter.Sergei was munching on one of the muffins when he swung himself behind the wheel of his Ferrari. “If you’re bored, I wouldn’t mind if you bake again.”I smiled, happy that they all enjoyed my cooking when in the past I’d barely had the chance to try my hand at it. “What’s your favorite?”“Red velvet.”“Then I’ll make those next.”Sergei tore his eyes away from the traffic to give me a curious look but didn’t say anything.“You have to turn right there.”“I know new York by heart, don’t worry.”“Even boutiques?”“I like nice clothes.”I tilted my head in agreement. Sergei was always impeccably dressed and styled.He said, “Your new style works better for you, by the way.”I flushed, glancing down at myself. I’d chos

Alexei POVTalia tests the water in the bathtub with her fingers, her face heavy with exhaustion as Ethan wiggles around in her grasp. She can barely hold him at this point, but I know she’s trying to keep a sense of normalcy for him.“I had a bath already,” Ethan protests, his bottom lip quivering. “I want to watch TV.”“You did have a bath this morning.” Talia glances at his clothes and cringes at the blood that’s been transferred from her. “But you need another one.”A slamming door down the hall in the room causing Talia to flinch and Ethan cranes his neck to look up at her, his tiny hand coming up to her face. “What’s wrong, Mommy?”She chokes back a sob, and I gather Ethan up into my arms, pulling Talia up beside me as I opened the door and received the stuff I told Aria to buy from Sergei. “Mommy is very tired. She’s going to go rest while I get you cleaned up. Okay, buddy?”Ethan still doesn’t seem sold on the idea, and Talia already has a protest on her lips but I need her to

Aria POV I didn’t pull back because I wanted to do this, to beat the last shreds of my past into submission. Viktor hand twitched a second before his body coiled tightly and then his erection jerked and with a low moan, Viktor came.He made small rocking motions as he spilled into me and for a second I was frozen, awaiting the inevitable.My past to bulldoze my present, for my body to do what it had done many years ago, to retch, for bile to travel up my throat. The feeling of choking, of suffocating as my uncle held me in place but nothing of that sort happened.Viktor stroked my back and I swallowed, kept pumping and felt a wave of accomplishment. I was free, completely free from my past and whatever hold my uncle had on me.Viktor pulled me on top of him as if I was a doll and he nudged my chin up as I lay sprawled on his strong chest, his eyes searching mine. He kissed my mouth once, twice. “Do you want me to get you a glass of water?”Every time I thought I couldn’t possibly lov
