Russian Sleeping Experiment

We got caught in a blizzard—me, my fiancé Melvin Dunn, a few of his colleagues, including Sally Blom. Middle of the night, I woke up shaking. My heavy-duty sleeping bag—the one built for minus forty—was gone. In its place? A flimsy summer quilt. Sally was curled up in my bag, fast asleep in Melvin's arms. I shoved him hard. "Why is she in my sleeping bag?" He pulled me aside, whispering, "Keep your voice down. Sally's kinda fragile—she's about to catch a cold. You're strong. You'll be fine." I pointed at my feet, already numb. "So I'm supposed to freeze to death for you two because she's 'fragile'?" He frowned. "God, Peyton, stop being so dramatic. It's just a sleeping bag. Think about the team for once." I laughed, tears slipping down my face. Didn't say another word. Just crawled back into the corner, grabbed the sat phone, and called my brother—Captain of Stormfang Rescue, an elite international search and rescue team. "Hugh, come get me. The coordinates are... Remember—I'm alone."

Falling in love with your best friend isn't wrong, because you can't blame him for not accepting your love , because he isn't in the wrong. But what is wrong, is him sleeping with your stepsister.

“You hired me, to babysit a MAN?” Kiara asked glaring at the Russian mafia don who shrugged. His son stood by the door, his arms crossed over his chest as the two men watched the fuming girl in front of them. “I never said ‘babysit’, I merely said ‘keep out of trouble’” the don answered her casually. “He is a man, he would be at least twenty-five…” “I’m twenty-eight, and thank you for noticing that I’m a man” Alessio said stopping her, sarcasm dripping from his voice. “Ah, see, he’s even polite” his father said raising an eyebrow at Kiara who ran her fingers through her hair as she processed the situation she was in. “You told me to take care of your son!” “I never said that he was a kid though…” ******************** It all started with a job offer, one that united two different worlds. A girl who’s father is a federal agent, and a man, who was the future Russian mafia don. Her job was simple, keep the man out of trouble. However, what she didn’t know was that this trouble included him being a killer, one who was out for revenge.

Mein Ehemann drohte mir zum hundertsten Mal mit Scheidung, um mich zu opfern – für meine Schwester. Ich weinte nicht und machte keinen Aufstand. Stattdessen unterschrieb ich still die Scheidungspapiere. Freiwillig übergab ich meiner Schwester den Mann, den ich zehn Jahre lang geliebt hatte. Einige Tage später machte meine Schwester auf einem Bankett unverschämte Äußerungen und zog sich den Zorn einer mächtigen Familie zu. Wieder nahm ich freiwillig die Schuld auf mich und trug alle Konsequenzen für sie. Später schlugen sie vor, ich solle als Versuchsperson für die Forschung meiner Schwester dienen. Ich willigte bereitwillig ein. Meine Eltern sagten, ich sei endlich brav und vernünftig geworden. Sogar mein gleichgültiger Ehemann stand an meinem Krankenbett, strich mir zum ersten Mal seit Langem sanft über die Wange und sagte: „Hab keine Angst, das Experiment ist nicht lebensgefährlich. Wenn du zurückkommst, koche ich dir etwas Leckeres.“ Doch er wusste nicht: Egal, ob das Experiment gefährlich war oder nicht, er würde nicht auf mich warten können. Denn ich litt an einer unheilbaren Krankheit und würde bald sterben.
