Pain surged through my face, and I spat blood. Boris smiled and hit me again. I collapsed to the floor unable to take another vicious blow. Father walked into the room. I had hoped to do some sightseeing while I was in Vegas, but now I was back in New York.

“Bitch, how dare you remain with that Irish filth. Instead of setting the example you were at her wedding. I swear you two women are useless. If I didn’t have plans for you, I’d have killed you already.”

Great, Home sweet home.

I crawled to my knees and remained in that position. There was no way I was allowing this opportunity to slip by me. I was going to get Resul, his big bust and it started with Father and Boris.

He grabbed my neck and jerked me to my feet. “How could you betray me? I’ve given you everything.”

You gave everything to you. I have been just a womb, a pawn for you to marry me off.

“I wasn’t thinking about you. I was trying to get my sister away from that bastard Viktor. Mila is terrified of you. You have always treated her like shit and she decided to marry him so that he would protect her. Mila just wants protection from you, he’s, her husband.”

Boris roared. “He’s not her husband. He might even be dead since I shot him earlier.”

The jokes on you. He’s her husband and they love each other.

I wiped the blood from my mouth. “Mila told me the FBI is after Viktor and that he wanted to marry her before they leave the United States. I tried to get Mila to run away from Viktor but she said Boris betrayed her, and you were trying to kill her.”

When Boris looked away, I saw an odd expression on his face. He hadn’t negated my statements which meant they had been trying to kill Mila.

Father stood. “Go to your room and clean yourself up and change your clothes. You have ten minutes, then you’ll call Mila and have her meet you at the park. Boris and a team of men will go with you to pick her up.”

Son of a bitch, I only need five.

Father yanked me to my feet. “What if she doesn’t meet me, are you going to go snatcher back from Viktor’s place?”

“Yes,” said Boris.

“No. The FBI is watching them so I’m going to help them take care of the Vinogradov family for the last time. If she won’t meet you, I’ll torture you tomorrow and send her a video of it. She’ll come home to sacrifice herself to save you,” said Felix.

“Felix, you promised her to me. I’m not giving that bastard time to have a honeymoon. Mila is mine,’ said Boris.

Good. Boris was at odds with him. He was no longer a compliant road dog, following orders to the letter. Now, I needed to check my bugs. Father hadn’t discovered them or I’d already be dead. I would need to give one to Jayden and one to Resul. I needed Jayden to get him off my ass. They both would have to meet me tonight.

Grabbing two of the bugs, I placed them in my sock and put my shoes on. Pulling out my phone Jayden had given me, I sent him a text.

Jayden meet me in sixty minutes in the southside ladies’ room at Morningside Park in one hour. Resul caused issues and almost got me killed. He is threating me if I don’t fuck you over. Handle him.

Jayden. I’ll be discreet. Don’t worry about Resul, I’ll take care of it. Just watch your back and don’t take unnecessary risks.

Resul, meet me in the southside ladies’ room at Morningside Park in fifty minutes. Highly dangerous. Viktor’s men are scheduled to show up and will lead you to Viktor. Follow them.

Resul. If this is a setup. I’ll make sure you pay. Don’t think I trust you because I don’t. Your life doesn’t mean anything to me so remember that when you get the urge to betray me. I still have that Miami information in a safe place.

Boris was at the steps waiting for me. He was like a bad venereal disease, he just kept coming and coming. Why couldn’t the bastard just die?

He led me into the kitchen where Father was sitting at the kitchen table. This conversation was about to be on speaker so I hoped Mila wouldn’t volunteer anything that might put Viktor and his men at risk.

He slid the phone across the table. “Call her and put it on speaker.”

Nodding, I sat down and dialed her. Mila picked up the phone on the fourth ring.

“Mila, are you there? It’s me Anya.”

Wherever she was it was quiet. My sister may always have her nose in a book but she wasn’t as stupid as she acted at times.
