He laughs and kisses my neck.
We didn’t only exchange vows today, we made a pact. No more lies between us, no more secrets moving forward. And that includes freezing me out of bratva business. Daniil admitted that Jorge had been fucking with him from the moment we got married. It’s not a surprise to me, but from now on, we’ve agreed to be truthful with each other, no matter how much it hurts or how much worry it may cause.
We’re building a life together—a real one—and for it to work, there’s no more room for deception. I’ve decided to go back to school and study business management. Observing Daniil in his element, crunching numbers and making strategic business decisions, is honestly one of my favorite things. When I graduate, I’ll work for the Kozlovs on the legitimate side of the empire.
What feels like forever ago, I tried to convince Daniil to give me a job working for him—of course I had ulterior motives then. Now, I want to do good work that has meaning. And that’s why, with the family’s blessing and Kira and Georgia’s assistance, I will spearhead the creation of the Kozlov Foundation. This fund will help women leaving abusive relationships get back on their feet. Maybe this will balance out some of the brotherhood’s sins.
My husband is bratva, and I’ve learned to make peace with it since he’s nothing like my uncle or Jorge. He’s a good person who sometimes does bad deeds.
But the world is not black and white. It’s gray, and I can live with the in-between if it means I get to sleep next to and wake up beside this man. This man who risked life and limb to rescue me and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
He is my family now.
My guiding light.
My everything worth living for.
