“I hope I’m nothing like her but hey; life’s a bitch and then you meet one. Anyway, like I said I hope you’re good at kissing.”

“I’m not kissing you Valentina. I don’t fancy dying at Kai’s hands today,” Lev groans at me.

“You will do as I ask, I won the fight fair and square Lev. So, get on your hands and knees at my feet now,” I demand.

“Oh, my fucking God! Hold on, I’ve got to film this to show Kai.” Misha laughs as he takes his phone out of his pocket and starts to film my plan playing out.

Luka winks at me with a huge smirk on his face and I look at Misha, who is now filming, to address Kai.

“Hey Baby, I always told you men should stop underestimating me. Looks like you’re just in time to see Lev pay the price. I asked him before we fought if he was good at kissing, shall we see how good?” I say towards Misha’s phone.

I look at Lev and smile at him, signalling towards the floor with my finger pointing to my feet. Lev looks at me weirdly and then gets on his knees at my feet. I pat him on the head like a dog and look down at him.

“That’s a good boy, now kiss my feet!” I demand.

Lev looks at me with astonishment but takes it better than I thought. Which both annoys me and makes me relieved at the same time. He’s been a right pain in the arse since I met Kai, so maybe this and finding out who he is will help us develop a better relationship. He gets down on all fours and kisses both my feet in turn. As he gets up, I smile at him and put out my hand for him to shake. He grabs my hand but doesn’t shake it. He kisses the back of it.

“You will make a great Queen and it will be a privilege to serve you,” he says and bows his head.

He releases my hand leaving me in shock still looking after him as he walks away towards his room here. I look over at Misha and he stops filming with a big goofy smile on his face. Luka is standing there smiling at me too. I’m flabbergasted. Truly and utterly shocked by Lev’s statement. I have never really thought about being a Queen. Bratva men don’t usually let their wives have anything to do with ruling, so I didn’t imagine that Kai would be any different. I’m sure he’ll have enough of me anyway, once my Papa is dead and he no longer needs to protect me.

“Did that just really happen?” I ask in shock.

“Yes Red, Kai’s best friend and second in command just gave you one of the greatest honours a Bratva man can give. I would also say it’s well deserved, you truly have a warrior’s heart, Valentina,” Misha states.

“I don’t know what to say, I’m shocked. We’ve never really got on!” I reply.

“I think you’ve found out something about each other today that has given you both a newfound respect for one another. You have a lot of good people on your side Valentina, who respect and trust you. Now, all that’s left is for you to believe in yourself Red. To also trust in every one of us to help keep you safe. That, my lovely, will be the time you become our true Queen,” Misha says.

“Lena, Kai says he wants you ready for the club when he gets back. I don’t think he’ll be much longer. While you go and get ready, we will clean the room and get ready as well,” Luka says, smiling at me.

“Okay,” I reply.

I don’t know what else to say so I walk away to Kai’s room to shower and get ready. Today has been such a day of revelations and enlightening events and it’s not over yet. My Papa’s soldiers are on the way to cause havoc and God knows what else. I’m exhausted but there’s no way I’m not getting involved in this fight. Papa’s made one very vital error. He made his daughter into a lethal weapon, one who knows far too much about his methods of war.

I jump in the shower, washing my hair and shaving everything. I decide to leave my hair to dry naturally into its curls. It’s become a lot less frizzy since I’ve started using the conditioner Kai bought me. I apply a light layer of make-up, focusing on my smoky-eyes, eyeliner and mascara. The last thing I apply is a layer of my favourite cherry red lipstick, before having one final look in the mirror as I walk to the walk-in wardrobe.

I pick out a black lace, strapless bra, with matching thong, and put them on then search for some thigh-high hold ups. I finally find some with a matching garter belt; when I pull them on, the stockings feel like silk. They are definitely a new addition made by Kai. Strapping my garter belt to them, I go in search of a dress. I see numerous hangers of new dresses and clothes, my own scattered amongst them. As I’m perusing the new dresses, I find a beautiful black Valentino couture dress. I try it on and it fits like a glove. I give myself a once over in the wall mirror and I’m stunned. The dress is short, just covering my arse which means my stockings and garter straps are on full show. The silver diamanté edging around my bust line brings everyone’s attention to my girls. Kai is going to have a total fit when he sees me, even though he brought it for me. I add black strappy sandals and head out into the living room.

Lev, Misha and Luka are sitting at the table looking over the files. It seems as though Luka is giving them details on each of the soldiers pictured. As I get close to the table, they all look up. Lev chokes, Misha just stares at me and Luka shakes his head.

“What’s the matter with you lot?” I ask.

“I think you forgot to put your dress on Red,” Misha gripes, looking away hastily.

“Oh God, he’s going to kill us when he sees her,” Lev whines.

“He brought me the damn dress, so I’m wearing it,” I snap back.

“He may have paid but he didn’t choose it personally. I also don’t think he would think you would look like that in it either,” Lev replies.

“Look like what?” I ask.

“Like every man’s wet dream, okay? Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Lev says.

I’m about to reply when his phone rings. He takes it out of his pocket, looking at the name and answers it straight away. His face is stern as he listens to the person on the other end.

“How long Ida?”
