“You did that?” Tears fill her eyes and I shrug.

“It is only the beginning.”

“Of what?”

I grin, my eyes glittering with venom as I hiss, “Your revenge, Lilli. Your twisted revenge for the death of your sister.”

Her hand creeps into mine and her eyes shine as she whispers, “Then what? You said it was only the beginning.”

“He will go to prison.”

I lean in and pull her lower lip that she found so fascinating into my mouth, and she sighs.

“Then–” I whisper against her mouth, “He will serve a lifetime behind bars because every time his parole hearing comes up, he will be involved in another crime inside the prison.”

I twist my tongue in hers and push my hand under her top, running my thumb across her nipple and pressing it hard.

She groans. “How?”

“I have connections. Men on the inside and Carter Lamont will discover that jail is no escape from his crimes.”

I kiss her deeply, my hand wandering further down and as I push up her skirt, I love how drenched her panties are already.

“The day of his release–” I plunge two fingers inside her and brush my thumb against her clit and whisper, “He will suffer a fatal stab wound to the heart on his cab journey home.”

She groans as I insert a third finger and hiss, “But not before he hears the real reason for his fall from grace. Reggie’s name will be the last one he hears as he bleeds out on the side of the road. Discarded like the piece of trash he is, barely alive, waiting for the vultures to claim him. To pick at his bones and peck out his eyes as he lies there reliving what happened that night.”

She gasps as the tears roll down her face and as I curl my finger against her g-spot, I fasten my mouth on hers to absorb her scream.

Yes, I was always going to avenge Reggie’s death for Lilli. Make Carter Lamont pay in the most despicable way possible, and I will update her every step of the way. Some deaths are quick, some last an eternity, and Carter Lamont’s will last until I fucking say so.

As Lilli comes hard on my fingers, I hold her shivering body against mine and a surge of power washes over me as I contemplate what I can do.

What we can all do.

The Romanovs.

CHAPTER 50

LILLI

Mikhail never warned me about this. I am way out of my depth. If I thought his penthouse and London home were luxurious, they are nothing in comparison to this place.

It’s as if it occupies a small continent and I gaze in awe at the white marble and gold furniture. The painted murals on the ceilings and the extravagant flower arrangements that could win awards.

Modern meets traditional because this place is like the federal reserves for security.

I am overawed and not just by my surroundings. His family may as well be from another planet because I have never met the like of them before.

We arrived to a warm welcome from his mother. Grace couldn’t have been kinder and was so sweet to me by saying how lovely it was to chat to a fellow American.

His sister Ana was also sweet and kind, and I began to feel good about it.

We went straight to Mikhail’s room to freshen up because dinner was about to be served and now I’m sitting at a dining table surrounded by several men who may as well be declared as demons and be done with it.

“Where is Alexei?” Mikhail growls beside me and Grace says with a sigh, “Away on business.”

Ana adds with a cheeky grin. “His business is concerning a certain woman he gave a ride to. They are in America visiting her family.”
