“That sounds horrible.”
“But it’s the past.”
“You are not your father. Don’t let him turn you into him.”
“I am worse. I’ve done so much evil in this world.” There is shame in his voice. I pop my head up from his chest and place my hand on his cheek.
“You are a wonderful, thoughtful, amazing man who I am lucky to be with. Viktor, I am in love with you. I love you more every day.” He stares. I see the dark hunger in his eyes. He pulls me on top of him and I know our conversation is over.
Chapter Fifty
Ava
“Are you sure about this?” I ask Tina for the third time.
“You aren’t a prisoner. You are allowed to go out and enjoy yourself. Life is too short.”
“Easy for you to say. You're not the one marrying Viktor.”
In the last couple of weeks, things have been great between Viktor and me. We talk all the time. Something I didn’t think he would ever do. He is so closed off. He showed me his vulnerable side. His father isn’t making things easy for him. I see how restless he is. He barely sleeps anymore. The mansion has turned into a military base. I’ve been steering clear of the restaurant or any place I might run into his father. I’ve pretty much sequestered myself to the mansion. Tina has been trying to get me out of the house but I don’t want to make things worse.
“And I’m glad I’m not you. He is a handful.” She laughs.
“Maybe I should call him and make sure.”
“I already told him and it’s cool.”
“You tend to stretch the truth.” It’s my least favorite thing about Tina. She is the type to ask for forgiveness later. Something that doesn’t go well with Viktor.
“Come on, you are only twenty-three, not married with kids.”
“I can’t argue with that. I’ll text him. Let him know where will be.”
“If you must.” She rolls her eyes mockingly. But I’ll feel better if Viktor knows where I am going. I know he worries when I am not with him.
Ava: Hope I’m not interrupting but wanted to let you know I’m going out with Tina.
Bubbles…
Viktor: Where?
“Where are we going, Tina?”
“Gotham. Free drinks, good music, and VIP. I believe we both know the owner.” She teases. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there. Viktor will be more comfortable if we are there.
Ava: Gotham
Bubbles…
Viktor: Ok. I’ll meet you there once my meeting is over. I won’t be much longer. Text me when you arrive
Ava: Wouldn’t have it any other way
Viktor: Take Marco and Angus
His text stops me. If he is telling me to take Angus, one of his top guys with Marco, he must be concerned about something.
Ava: Should I be worried?
