"Nothing. Ignore it. The left one. Your breast, nowhere else?" I demanded as I studied my bleeding knuckles and the shattered glass. She went quiet again. "Victoria," I rasped. "Tell me,katyonok."
"H-He tried to put his hand up my skirt when I smacked him."
"Left one?"
"Da."
Yes.
Her voice had turned into the softest of whispers.

"I thought O'Donnelly was teaching you self-defense."
"He is. Timofai took me by surprise," she muttered.
"If O'Donnelly is a useless instructor, I'll teach you myself when I'm back in the city."
"You will?" she demanded sharply.
I closed my eyes, immediately regretting the stupid words that had fallen from my lips.
"It will cause trouble if I do," I warned her, deciding that playing to her cautious nature would be smart.

"I do, but not in school."
"That’s where it happened?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"Gym class."
"You didn’t report it to the faculty?"
She sucked in a breath. "I could have."
"But you didn’t. Why?"
"H-He said I’d be your whore, Maxim—"
"He mentioned me by name?" That littlemudila.
"Da."
"You were born a Bratva princess. Princesses do not become whores. He was trying to shit stir,katyonok.He wanted to know if you were in contact with me, and he’ll find out the answer when I return. Do you understand?"
