“I want someone else. Make it three people if need be.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Aleksander, too. Follow him.”
“Consider it done.”
“What happened?” Yan meets my gaze through the rear-view mirror, then slides it to Kolya before focusing back on the road.
I tap my finger against my thigh. “Kirill knows something, or else he wouldn’t be acting smug.”
Silence falls on the car before Yan says in a low voice, “Do you think he knows about Mrs. Volkov?”
“I’m not sure, but whatever he knows needs to be known to me as well. Is that understood?”
“Yes, sir,” they both say.

I spendmost of my day in my office at V Corp checking financial reports to keep my head from spiraling into unwanted directions. But at the same time, I come up with solutions. That’s what I do when I’m overcome by work. I think and allow my mind to go into overdrive.
I try to corner Rai, but apparently, she has a doctor’s appointment today and went home early.
There will be another day and she will answer to me no matter what methods I have to use.
I lose track of time and only realize it’s ten in the evening when Kolya informs me of the fact. I’ve been so focused on finding a solution that would allow Lia to skip Igor’s birthday that I forgot about her.
That’s incorrect.
It’s not that I forgot about her. I merely tried to push her out of my immediate thoughts, because if I keep her there, I won’t get anything done.
Especially after the way she came all over my fingers after a few spankings. She unraveled wholly, without restraint, as if she’s been waiting for my touch all this time.
The sight of blood on her lips won’t leave my mind, the way she muffled her voice still gets on my last nerve.
It’ll change.
Shewill change.
Kolya, Yan, and I reach home around ten-thirty. I don’t bother finding Ogla, because now that I’m not actively trying to keep Lia out of my thoughts, she’s the only thing that’s occupying my brain.
I go to our bedroom and freeze in the doorway. She’s not there. After searching in the bathroom, I come up empty-handed.
For a second, I remain rooted there on the spot, thinking of where she could have gone. She couldn’t have left the property, because Ogla or my guards would’ve informed me of the fact. I know that, but the possibility is tugging on the vacant place in my chest.
She’s here. I know she is. I can feel her presence in the walls of the house, can see it without having to try hard.
I stride to Jeremy’s room, and when I open the door, the sight before me leaves me open-mouthed. Lia is sleeping on my son’s bed, holding him to her chest.
His tiny fingers are wrapped around her waist and a small smile grazes his sleepy face.
The room is all sorts of chaotic, as if an army of children played here. His toy soldiers are scattered on the floor, surrounded by a dozen drawings and colorful scarfs.
Did she spend the entire day with Jeremy?
My gaze slides to them again, to the way her jean shorts ride up her bare thighs and how her top hugs her waist, revealing her belly button.
The whole look is unusual, but that didn’t stop my dick from hardening this morning—or from starting to right now.
