“What is it?”

“I get you.”

“What?”

“He said that you need taking in hand and teaching how to behave and I’m the best man for the job. I have never had a woman fight me like you fight your husband.

“You will learn how to submit to me, Mila. Trust me, or I’ll break every bone in your body. Now, let’s have a look at the body of the only man who could have saved you from your destiny.”

He pushes up the coffin lid.

“What the fuck?” Diego says as I lift the gun so it’s pointing straight at his face.

Two things happen in the same instant. I yell out, “Trust no one,” and put a bullet in Diego’s skull as he looks down at me with a confused look on his face.

Through in the ballroom the bomb goes off, taking out Diego’s guards in one go. The sound is deafening, the walls cracking from the impact.

Diego falls to the floor, blood pooling under him. My ears ring as I climb out of the coffin.

Igor comes running in, covered in dust. He looks from me to Diego and back again. “You’re alive,” he says. “I thought you were dead.”

I grab him by the arm, sliding my hand around his throat. “You killed Mrs. Aldova and made it look like she was working for Diego. How long have you been working for Don Belucci?”

I tighten my grip. “Answer me or I break your neck.”

“Since he promised me the role of Pakhan,” he says in a wheeze, pulling ineffectually at my fingers.

“You son of a bitch, Igor. I trusted you. You were my friend.”

“Your father told you never to trust anyone,” he replies. “That was good advice.”

“Look out!” Mila shouts.

I glance down in time to see the knife coming toward me. I have no chance of avoiding it. I clench my stomach as it comes at me but it doesn’t make it.

There’s the noise of a gunshot next to me and then Igor is slipping out of my hands, the knife clattering harmlessly to the floor. His body falls onto Diego’s.

I turn and find Mila holding Diego’s gun in trembling fingers. I push it to the side as she stares in front of her. “You saved my life,” I tell her, kissing her forehead.

“I killed him,” she says, dropping the gun to the floor. “I killed a man.”

“You saved me.” I kiss her forehead. “Your plan worked.”

“My father,” she mutters. “He’s behind all this.”

“I know,” I reply. “Now we just need to decide what the hell we’re going to do about it.”

Mila

As one problem is solved, another comes along. That seems to be the way life goes. I get myself a boyfriend, he turns out to be an asshole. I run away from home and run out of money soon after.

Alexsei kills Diego but my father turns out to be the true culprit behind all this.

Alexsei kills Diego’s guards and now he’s got cracks up and down the walls of his house.

We’ve changed into clean things. He’s taken me out to the Italian restaurant we went to before while the bodies are dealt with. Solves the problem of me being hungry. Creates a much bigger problem.
