“Of course I did. Vladimir, Igor, and Sergei did, too. You bring a woman out of nowhere and announce she’s your wife and baby mama and think we’ll just nod our heads? You don’t make mistakes, Adrian, so no matter how much you try to convince everyone that you only married her for an accidental pregnancy, I don’t believe it. I’m sure it was all part of a master plan. Now, where was I? Right. The Italian. Even though it seemed normal, when I looked further into him and his parents, I found nothing.”
“Nothing?”
“Absolute nada. No normal citizen would cover their tracks that meticulously, would they?”
“No.”
“Exactly.”
“What’s his name?”
“Luca.”
“Last name?”
“Brown. Luca Brown. Ring any bells?”
“No.”
He clicks his tongue. “To me neither. But I’ll find that motherfucker. No one hides from me.”
“Keep me posted.”
“My, my, Adrian. Aren’t you full of love today?”
“Just do as you’re told.”
“And I’ll get something in return?”
“Yes.”
“Fantastic. Love doing business with you.”
I stare at my phone, then focus on Kolya. “Why didn’t you tell me she had an Italian neighbor in your first screening of her?”
“Didn’t seem like it mattered at the time. They were both kids and many in New York have Italian neighbors. I didn’t feel like I needed to go more in-depth.”
He’s right. It shouldn’t have mattered. But after what Kirill mentioned, I have a suspicion that this Luca is even more involved than I ever thought.
There’s only one other person who can tell me the details, even if I have to punish them out of her.
“Let’s call it a night, Kolya.” I stand up and my second-in-command follows.
“Boris sent me a text earlier and I didn’t want to disturb you.”
“About?”
“Mrs. Volkov went to the guest house to visit Yan.”
I clench a fist. “You didn’t want to disturb me or were you protecting the little fuck?”
He releases a long sigh. “Both.”
“He knows something, Kolya. He was there and he’s hiding it from me.”
“I know.”
“You finally agree?”
