This shit’s finally starting to heat the fuck up.

“Do you want to go check it out?” Vasily’s voice is somber, he knows how much the place meant to me.

“Did anything survive the fire?”

My Sovietnik shakes his head.

It’s funny, if you’d told me a month ago that my family’s countryside chalet would be burned down by the Esposito family, I would have exploded in a fireball of rage. The summer residence holds so many of my good memories that I can hardly feel happiness without somehow smelling the wood pine scent of the cabin’s porch, no matter how far away I am from it.

Now, it’s ashes. Burnt to a crisp, along with everything inside. The portrait of my father, the portrait of our family. Gone. Never coming back. All the memorabilia, tethers to that unconditional love, have been officially and irrevocable severed.

And you know what? I’m not angry. Well, I’m not that angry. A simmering fury cooks just below the sadness and relief that fill my heart. Georgy’s still alive and well. At least I can be thankful for that. But we’re more alone now than we were even before.

“Igor and Alexei would like to talk to you,” Vasily mentions, as I get fitted for my gala suit.

Now it’s my turn to shake my head. “Let them settle down first.” My two warrior generals have been red with rage since they heard the news. They’ve taken the firebombing of the chalet as a direct call to war. But I see it differently. Angelo is making it clear as day what he’s after. And it’s not total war. It’s just one thing. Love. He’ll be happy when he destroys what I love. My family legacy and business will be spared if I just give him what he wants, and since there’s no way I’m actually giving him what he wants, the next best option is to trick him into thinking that I have.

Tonight’s the next step in that process—if Billie even shows up... I may have been a little too rough with her the other night...

The simmering anger inside of me jumps and bubbles at the thought of what went wrong during our ‘engagement’. The rage isn’t directed entirely at Billie, though. Some of the heat is aimed at myself. I overreacted. We’re supposed to be in a professional relationship, but her words summoned the beast in me. ‘Crime’ family. That’s the exact type of shit I’m trying to escape. Yet, I still dealt with her insubordination like the leader of the Bratva would, and not like I should have. If I truly want to go legitimate, I’m going to have to rid myself of this instinct to physically bully my way through life. Because it won’t matter how clean my money is, if I accidentally bash in some competitors head during a dispute, I’m right back to being on the wrong side of the law.

I can’t afford to fuck with people who aren’t already involved in the underworld right now. I
