I keep my mouth shut about his outburst. I’m leaving right after the wedding, and I won’t ever have to see his smug face again.
And then the tiny voice in my head reminds me that it won’t only be Dima’s face I leave behind.
You won’t get to see Natasha’s either...
Fuck off, voice!
“Nikolai will take her back here later today so we can prepare for the wedding. I hope she’s picked out a dress.”
“How did you know Nik was coming over?”
“Are you really too stupid to realize it yet, Luka? I know everything that happens in my family. I know every move made, every phone call taken, and every word spoken. That’s why I’m in my position and you’re the fucking dirt on the bottom of my shoe.”
I clutch the sides of my head, memories from that night bubbling below the surface along with all of the ire that always follows. It was the night everything changed, the night that paved the way to this toxic point.
“You’re in that position because of me. Because you’re a lying scumbag who betrayed his family. I know the truth, and you’ve been looking for any way you can to keep me quiet.”
Dima laughs, a dark, sinister sound that makes my blood curdle. “If you think you can prove those ridiculous claims, then go ahead. You know what will happen? Absolutely nothing, because everyone knows exactly how you are. It wasn’t me that night. It was you, Luka. Nobody would believe otherwise.”
He’s right.
Nobody would believe it.
But his threat reminds me that I have one item of unfinished business before I leave all of this behind for good.
Avenging the life that was stolen away from me because of him.
Watch out, Dima.
Here comes retribution, and damn, that blood will taste sweet on my tongue.
