The truth was…even after ten years of hating Aleksey Korolev, I still wanted him. I hated that I couldn’t get him out of my mind. He haunted me in my dreams. Dreams where I was whole and unbroken. Dreams where I was still beautiful.
But he was married now. A marriage I had engineered, and one that he had never wanted. His bride—as far as I could tell—wanted him like I had. So much so that she’d gotten pregnant almost immediately after marrying him. The knowledge of that shattered my heart all over again.
It was supposed to be my child,I thought bitterly.Not yours, you undeserving bitch. It was supposed to be me. ME!
I kept my eyes trained on Mikhail and Boris. They were staring at the door to Blindfold intently, waiting to see who might step out. I had tipped off one of the Korolev informants in New York that this was where Ludovico was going to be tonight. Ludovico had served his purpose, and now it was time for me to tie up this loose end.
Savage anticipation thrummed through me as I watched with bated breath. Ten years of planning were finally about to reach their culmination. My vengeance was close. I could practically taste it.
I turned my gaze back at the door to Blindfold as it opened fatefully. Ludovico Tarallo stepped out with two scantily clad girls on his arms. My eyes narrowed at their pretty faces and outfits that I no longer dared to wear, and I felt myself reaching back for the comfortable warmth of hatred.
In the other car, Mikhail made a motion. A smile curled upon my shredded lips.
Once Ludovico was dead…then it would be time for me to drive the wedge between Aleksey and his pretty little wife. And she was pretty. So pretty. Petite, full-figured, with a face so innocent that I might almost hesitate to destroy it.
Almost.
I would make her hurt like I did.
Would she scream like me? Would she beg him to save her like me?
Would he watch me ruin her the same way he watched his father’s men ruin me?
There would only be one way to find out.
