Fuck that.
If anything, they should both be ready for my wrath. As I promised her, I will kill him in a slow death in front of her eyes and fuck her in his blood.
Then I’m bringing her home.

Lia
Rai has agreed to help me.
At first, she was hesitant about going against Adrian since, like the entire brotherhood—or the whole crime world, actually—no one wants to get on his bad side. My husband has the ability to inflict irrevocable damage that no one can escape. He may be silent, but his wrath is lethal.
He’s the type who learns someone’s weakness, exploits it, then suffocates them with it until they wish for death.
I guess that’s what he did to me.
The only difference is that he showed me a side of him I fell in love with, then he took it away, leaving me with painful emotions and hope for nothing.
My gaze strays through the window, watching the empty road go by as Rai’s guard, Ruslan, drives me to a safe house.
I miss Jeremy and his beautiful smile. I miss how he draws me and his father together as if we’re some sort of a happy family. Not seeing him since this morning is messing with my already screwed-up head. I don’t know how the hell I’ll survive a week without his bright energy and contagious smile.
He’s probably asleep by now, having joyful dreams.
I wonder if Winter is sleeping in my bed, fucking Adrian because he looks ‘smoking hot.’ I wonder if he’s already replaced me with her—touching her, driving into her, and cradling her body into his.
Moisture stings my eyes at the image and I shake my head. I will not think about it. Everything has been said and done, and now I have to focus on the future.
But that doesn’t mean those thoughts don’t slice my heart open deep enough to leave a hole.
“Fuck.” Ruslan’s low curse pulls me out of my reverie.
“What?”
“I think we’re being followed, Mrs. Volkov.” He stares at the rear-view mirror.
I shift in the seat to look behind me and my eyes are met with bright, almost blinding headlights.
No.
Adrian couldn’t have found me after all the trouble I went through.
He should be with Winter.
A small part of my heart revels at the idea that her identical appearance didn’t fool him, that he knew it wasn’t me.
But the bigger part wants to break free of my shackles, to just be free of him and his cold shoulder and the way he’s killing me slowly.
“Can’t you go faster?” I urge him.
“Mrs. Sokolov can’t be implicated in this. If Adrian finds out she helped you…”
He will ruin her.
I know he will, and because of that, Ruslan can’t let me implicate Rai. All the doors are closing in my face, and I know I can’t go far, nor can I endanger Rai when she went out of her way to help me.
“Do you have a weapon you can lend me?” I ask.
