I did it. I broke Leung.
MAXIM
Kira is on fucking fire. And she hasn’t spilled one drop of his blood. She doesn’t need to. She’s wearing him down, slowly but surely, using nothing but pure psychological manipulation. It’s a beautiful thing to witness.
Beside me, Roman is as fascinated as I am as we watch Kira through the one-way mirror. “Well, fuck.” He whistles. “I think he’s going to break.”
I smile.
She moves with a dancer's grace, her figure outlined in a fitted charcoal-gray turtleneck and sleek black jeans. I was right—this is not her first interrogation. She walked into the room with her head high and a strategy firmly in place.
I glance at Roman. “What, you’re not going to give me shit for involving her in syndicate business?”
He scoffs. “The moment you married Kira, she was involved in syndicate business. If you trust her, we might as well use her as an asset.”
“Pavel doesn’t share that sentiment. Neither does Nadya.”
“Not a fucking surprise. Pavel doesn’t trust anyone outside of this room, and Nadya, well… If we’re speaking frankly, that woman needs a hobby. She’s a little too focused on you.”
“Isn’t that her job?”
Romans snorts. “It’s not her job to obsess over your marriage. Or be openly hostile to your wife.”
“I put an end to that.” My jaw ticks in annoyance. “How does Nadya treat Kira when I’m not around?”
He shrugs. “She’s not a fan, that’s clear as day. Nadya’s old-school and conservative, and Kira is anything but that.”
Action on the other side of the mirror catches our attention. Kira is leaning down, her face close to Leung’s battered and bruised one.
“Don’t make the people you love suffer for your silence,” she gently coaxes him. “Is the code of the Triad worth more than their lives?"
Leung's expression morphs into a portrait of despair as he gives us a name. Lai King.
Holy shit. She did it. Kira fucking did it.
Roman pounds on my back in congratulations. I'm itching to burst through that door, grab Kira, and kiss her senseless. She pulled off what no one else could. Getting Leung to talk.
If he's holed up in Europe with a reckless daughter, that's an advantage. Family ties could be a weakness—I'm all too familiar with that fact. But it won't deter me from exploiting it to our benefit.
Kira looks up at me through the window, and I can feel her triumphant gaze settle on me. She’s not only proven what she’s capable of, she’s also handed us the leverage we desperately need.
But all I can think about is tipping her over the table and fucking her senseless.
“Have Viktor gather up all the intel you can on Lai King and his associates. We’re shutting down the Black Company once and for all.”
“You got it,” Roman says.
Kira bounds through the door, a wide smile playing on her gorgeous face. Roman applauds at her entrance, and she offers a shy smile in return. But when her eyes lock with mine, Isee something totally different.Heat. I see exactly how my girl wants to celebrate.
“Get out of the fucking room,” I bark. “We need some privacy.”
Roman gives me a salute and heads out. Kira leaps into my arms, fitting perfectly against me.
"You did so good," I whisper, my lips near her ear. "Watching you... It was like a fucking masterclass in interrogation."
“Does that mean you’ll give me some real responsibility now? No more bullshit society wife tasks.”
“I’ll meet you halfway. If you want a role in my organization, I’ll make it happen.” Maybe I’m still riding high from the Leung win, but the idea of her becoming part of my world feels right, like a piece falling into place.
