“Don’t even think about it! Conti is looking at a few offers. Plus, I don’t want any fucking issues with Conti. So, leave Mia alone,” Pakhan says through clenched teeth.
“Nyet! Brat, she’s mine, my woman,” I hiss, lowering my eyelids.
“Don’t fuck this up for me! Wait until after I marry Valentina before you do something stupid,” Pakhan hisses, resting his hands on his waist.
“You two are fucked up,” Anatoly says, walking into the office, adjusting his tie.
“Da, I won’t fuck it up for you! Pakhan, as my Brat, I’m asking you to help me get Conti to allow me to marry Mia,” I say.
“I don’t have time for this shit! Let’s go,” Pakhan snarls, walking out of the office.
“Where’s Ivan,” Anatoly asks, raising his brow.
“I don’t fucking know. I’ll see you at the party. I need to pick up Mia from her house,” I hiss, shaking my head.
“Nyet! You’re fucking up; what if you get caught,” Anatoly growls, looking at Pakhan texting near the elevator.
“I won’t.”
We walk out of the office and enter the elevator with Pakhan.

Engagement party.
I pull down my sexy new black dress and look into the mirror, adjusting the material over my curves. I check to see if the love bites on my breast are noticeable; that won’t be good.
I’m so happy that Czar is staying with me at my home. We talk, watch movies, take turns watching our favorite, and order out. The best part is when we make love.
I’m glad that I’m staying at home because I hope that Don Elio will forget about me. Out of sight, out of mind.
Right?
It will buy me time with Czar.
I grab my purse and coat. I walk out of the house; Czar pulls up in his Range Rover. He stops, jumps out of the SUV, and walks over to me.
“Baby girl, you look so beautiful,” He hums, pulling me into his arms.
I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him down for a kiss. He kisses me deeply, with the same wild hunger as the first day. He pulls back and smiles, running his thumb over my lips.
“Let’s go before anyone notices us arriving together; that wouldn’t be good. We can say that Valentina asked me to pick you up,” Czar says.
“Yes, that’s what we’ve been saying.”
“Da.
We get into the SUV, and it takes almost an hour to get to Don Elio’s house. The traffic is crazy. We get out of the Range Rover and walk up the steps to the front door. I open it, and we walk in. The house is full of Mafia and Bratva men, some of them with their girlfriends, leaving the wife at home with the kids. That’s how it works with these Mafia men, and I pray that Czar and his brothers are not that way.
“Mia, darling,” Mama says, walking over to me. She kisses my cheek and looks at Czar with a flirty twinkle in her eyes.
“Hi, Mama. I’m glad that you're back. Mama, this is Czar, Valentina’s future brother-in-law,” I say, looking at Czar.
Fuck!
Now he can’t stay with me.
