Nikolai
"What does the compound look like?" I inquire.
"It's a grand mansion. The house itself spans about seven thousand square feet. There's a basement for storage and a spacious garage for vehicles. On the main floor, you'll find a formal living room, dining room, library, gym with fitness equipment, kitchen, and family room. The second floor boasts six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. And in the basement, there's an indoor pool," Tatyana explains.
I am thoroughly impressed.
We arrive at the secret Bratva compound, and true to Tatyana's description, the place is immense. Tall concrete walls, topped with razor wire, enclose the compound, guarded by heavily armed Bratva soldiers stationed at various points. At the entrance, there is a large steel gate controlled by a keypad requiring a specific code for access. I'm pleased to see the level of security in place, including guards positioned at the gate.
Tatyana takes me on a tour of the compound.
Inside, I am greeted by a grand mansion-style house with multiple floors and numerous rooms. The interior is adorned with lavish furnishings and adorned with exquisite artwork. There are various spacious living areas, a generously-sized dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, and multiple bedrooms.
As I explore the mansion, my attention is drawn to the surveillance system. Strategically placed cameras and sensors are integrated throughout the property to monitor and deter potential threats. The system includes door and window sensors, as well as motion sensors, which can detect any suspicious activity. These sensors work in tandem with the cameras, triggering alerts and capturing footage whenever they detect movement or unusual behavior.
In addition to the main house, there are also several outbuildings on the compound. One of the outbuildings is a barracks-style building where Bratva soldiers can stay. The barracks has bunk beds, a communal kitchen, and a gym for soldiers to train.
The grounds of the compound are well-maintained and landscaped with manicured lawns and gardens.
The compound also has a large garage where Bratva members can park their cars, including armored vehicles and expensive sports cars. There is also a helipad on the compound, allowing for quick entry and exit.
The Bratva compound is a lavish and well-protected fortress where I can operate my criminal enterprises with minimal risk of detection.
Tatyana leads me to the master bedroom, which is an expansive and opulent space adorned with plush furnishings and captivating architectural details. The color palette consists of muted greys and whites, creating a soothing and elegant atmosphere.
The room boasts generous proportions, with high ceilings, intricate crown molding, and even a fireplace, adding a touch of sophistication. The flooring is made of exquisite hardwood, complemented by plush area rugs that provide a cozy and inviting feel underfoot.
Taking center stage is a king-size bed, adorned with premium linens and adorned with plump pillows. It features a canopy design, complete with graceful drapes that can be drawn closed for added privacy and an enchanting ambiance.
A cozy sitting area is thoughtfully arranged with comfortable chairs, offering a serene spot for reading or unwinding. The large windows offer sweeping views of the property or the surrounding landscape, allowing ample natural light to fill the room while providing breathtaking vistas.
Furthermore, the bedroom boasts a walk-in closet equipped with custom-built shelving and drawers, providing ample storage space for clothing and accessories. It even includes a dedicated dressing area, complete with a vanity and a full-length mirror for convenient primping.
The master bedroom also features an indulgent en-suite bathroom, showcasing luxurious fixtures and large natural stone tiles. Its sleek and contemporary design embraces clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. The bathroom boasts a huge soaking tub, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with multiple showerheads, and dual vanities offering plenty of storage and counter space. A large window showcases captivating views of the property, while flooding the space with natural light. The marble floor, heated for added comfort, adds a touch of opulence to the overall ambiance.
This bedroom and bathroom rival the luxuriousness and size of my penthouse in London. It's perfect—I'll feel right at home here. The compound may be old, but it exudes beauty and is impeccably maintained. I don't miss London, although I will miss my sex club—a place where I can freely explore any desired fantasies and release pent-up tension. Well, I'll have to inform Misha to arrange for a high-end escort service to fulfill my sexual needs. I won't be fucking Tatyana again.
I decide to take a refreshing shower in the ensuite bathroom. After placing my keys, wallet, and loose change on the vanity, I undress and step under the warm stream of water.
After changing into a casual ensemble of jeans and a dress shirt, I grab my laptop and leave my room, heading towards the kitchen. The kitchen itself follows an open concept design, offering a generous amount of space for both cooking and dining. The focal point of the kitchen is a sizable island, equipped with a sink and ample counter space for convenient food preparation. The island also provides seating for guests to gather and enjoy meals.
Upon entering the kitchen, I find Nona Egorova, who has already taken charge of the culinary operations. However, I don't spot my butler, Osip. He is likely in a meeting with the compound's staff, ensuring the smooth and efficient functioning of the household and attending to my personal requirements.
Misha Pavlov, my trusted right-hand man from London, is currently pouring himself a cup of coffee from the built-in machine. For the past two months, Misha has been residing in Chicago, making preparations for my takeover of the now-defunct Chicago Bratva.
Similar to myself, Misha is an active member of the European Bratva, engaging in various illicit activities such as drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, and contract killings. His expertise extends beyond the realm of criminal operations, encompassing combat skills, weapon proficiency, and the art of manipulation and control.
Misha possesses dark hair and piercing black eyes, exuding a commanding presence with his muscular physique and an aura of confidence that can be quite intimidating. Adorned with the traditional Bratva tattoos, his body serves as a visible testament to his affiliation. Furthermore, he maintains extensive connections within the criminal underworld, fostering relationships with influential figures and other criminal organizations. His loyalty to me and our fellow Bratva members is unwavering, prioritizing the interests and well-being of the Bratva above all else.
“Nikolai, welcome to Chicago! Would you like some coffee?” He shakes my hand.
“No. We have a lot to discuss. Does this place have an office where we can speak in private.”
“Follow me.”
As we step into the office, the gravity of the situation weighs upon me. This is the space where our plans will take shape, where we'll strategize our path to reclaim control over Chicago's underground. Taking my place behind the polished wooden desk, I power up my laptop while Misha settles into one of the leather chairs across from me.
