Chapter 22

ANDREI

I don’t see Georgia that night. As much as I want her in my bed—underneath me, on top of me, any which way I can have her—duty calls. A shipment of cocaine went missing in transit and the Sicilians were the likely culprit. Our retaliation is swift and brutal, delivered in one bloody night in the gritty streets of South Brooklyn.

I finally get home as the sun crests the horizon. I’m just out of the shower and ready to collapse into bed when Leo texts me. He found a source that has information about our mother. Information that I’ll want to hear directly.

Shit. We’ve spent the last six months digging for any information we could find that explains How my mother ended up pregnant by Oleg. It’s a mystery that eats at me day and night.

Leo’s text is vague, but I know with Leo there is always a reason. He wouldn’t summon Daniil and I in person unless it’s something we need to hear for ourselves.

Now I’m in the backseat of the Land Rover with Yulian driving, my stomach in knots about what I’m about to learn. Memories flood my brain. I can still smell the metallic tang of blood as my father lay bleeding in my arms, revealing the twisted family secret that would come to consume my brothers and I.

After all those years, was it guilt that led him to admit on his death-bed that we have a half-sister? I suppose I’ll never know. He didn’t live long enough to tell me. The only information he shared was that our mother bore a daughter to Oleg, and Oleg raised her out of the country.

The months following Papa’s assassination were chaotic, with me figuring out how to step into the role of pakhan virtually overnight. He hadn’t prepared me, and I hadn’t ever demanded he did. My mistake. By the end of his reign, Papa was tired, having lived a thousand lives in one lifetime. He had gotten sloppy, which is how Oleg moved into Brooklyn.

But Oleg made one tiny miscalculation in his plans when he killed our father. Me.

I strengthened and grew our organization beyond the reach of the Antonovs. I was brutal, merciless in my expansion and ambition. We’ve thrived. I’ve taken back most of Brooklyn, and before long, the Kozlovs will rule over all of it.

Understanding what happened to our mother and sister is the last piece of the puzzle before we castrate Oleg and feed him to the pigs. He deserves nothing less.

From the front seat, Yulian tells me we’ve arrived at our destination. I stare out at a rundown low-rise in a residential area. I expected to be taken to a warehouse or a strip club—where most of our business takes place—but this appears to be the furthest thing from it.

The sign out front reads Shore View Nursing and Rehabilitation.

I exchange a sharp look with Yulian as I step out of the vehicle. Why are we here?

Ignoring the dull pain in my shoulder, we enter the building.
