I HAD A COMPLETE breakdown and Dominik was nowhere to be found, so I took comfort where it was available. That meant I let another man hold me while I cried. I knew Dominik wouldn’t like it. I knew that it would anger him, but I was breaking apart and I needed to be held. I don’t know where he was, or why he didn’t answer. At the time, I didn’t care.

“Where were you when Konstantin called earlier?” I ask.

I’m lying against Dominik’s naked chest, my fingers tracing his tattoos, and my naked body pressed close to his side. It’s well after four in the morning, but I can’t sleep. I know what will fill my vision when I close my eyes, and I don’t want to deal with it.

“Work,” he grunts.

“Where do you work, exactly? I thought you worked at Yakov’s building, but no way would you be there that late,” I say, resting my chin on his chest.

“No. I no longer work in that building, you’re correct. I work in a different industry. That’s all you need to know,” he says, shutting down the topic. “What did you find that upset you so much?” he asks, shifting the conversation back to me as he runs his fingers soothingly up and down my back.

“A box of my parents’ that I forgot about,” I say nonchalantly, trying not to get onto this topic.

“Inessa,” he sighs. I can tell he’s getting impatient with me.

“Fine. It’s all I have of them. Uncle Pavlov went back to the house sometime after he got me and collected what he thought I might want from them. It isn’t much. Some photo albums, some jewelry, and paperwork. I’ve never looked at the paperwork before. I found their marriage contract,” I whisper.

“This upsets you?” he asks, sounding a bit bewildered.

“I didn’t know. I had no clue. I only remember love and happiness. I thought they fell in love and got married like a fairytale,” I murmur.

“Many of the couples who are matched end up falling in love, yagodka. You know this. Why were you so upset? The real reason.”

I close my eyes tightly and bite my bottom lip.

“I found a contract of sale, an agreement that when I turned fourteen years old, I would be sold off to the highest bidder. It was signed by Ivan Chekov and my father,” I whisper. “Then, to make matters worse, there was a love note written to my mother, but signed by Pasha Vetrov. I don’t know what the hell happened, I’m so confused and so—lost.”

“Fuck,” he curses and pulls me tighter, wrapping me up. “Goddamn it.”

“Dominik?” I wheeze.

“I heard a rumor, unconfirmed, that Pasha killed your parents. That he thought Sonia and your father were together. I didn’t know about the contract of sale, though. This—I need answers for these things,” he says as though almost muttering them to himself.

I’m staring at him in complete shock. He heard rumors about my parents and has never mentioned a word of them to me.
