Go to your father, tell him you’re coming with me, and make sure a few people hear you say it. We’ll be waiting in the car at the front.
He takes the wheels of his chair and guides it toward the exit with Maxim following him a few paces behind
People watch them leave, and then their eyes focus on me. I feel like I’m on display as I walk to my father

*fake smile*
The crowd’s eyes bore into my back. They probably think I’m a slút, but I don’t give a damn. With my head held high and a fake smile on my lips, I leave the room.
There is a big white car in the front as promised. Maxim is standing by the back door and opens it for me when I approach.

As I get inside, I can’t help but wonder what the hell I am doing.
...
I knew Rodion was rich. He had to be, with him being the head of the Bratva, so I assumed he would live in some grand house.
NovelToon
What I was currently looking at, was not a house. It was a damn fortress, and it came with its own small army.
Tall concrete walls surround a huge estate on all four sides, and cameras are mounted on the top at every ten feet
Two men in black gear with guns on their belts are positioned along the front of the house, and a few more patrol the grounds. I’m sure there are more I can’t see.

Do you have cameras inside as well?
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
If you want people to trust you and stay loyal, you have to reciprocate
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Placing the cameras inside would mean I don’t trust my men

No

Why??

I’m not a fan of large things*mumble*
Rodion leads me across the big foyer to the elevator under the crossing of a huge double stairway. A man in the same black gear as those outside enters from the hallway on the left. When he sees us, he stops and nods his head to Rodion.

Is Varya still awake?
Vova/Driver/Guard
Vova/Driver/Guard
Yes. I think she’s in the kitchen
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Tell her I’m back. Have her instruct one of the girls to prepare a quick dinner and then she can go to bed

And tell the staff to make sure to stay out of the east wing. I don’t want anyone there unless I call for them.

For tonight?

*Mysterious smile*
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
No. Tell them it’s until further notice, Vova. I’ll ring the kitchen when we’re ready for dinner
Vova/Driver/Guard
Vova/Driver/Guard
Of course *nods and turns to leave*
But not before he glances in my direction with interest
Judging by his facial expression and the way his eyes widened after Rodion’s remark, the gossip is about to begin
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
We need to go through some basics*nods*
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
Rodion Ivanov/Pakhan/ML
You will be sleeping in the room over there*points to the right*

My bedroom is on the other side
It feels strange, being here in his space. I’m going to be living here for the next six months. With him. Somehow it all seemed unreal until this moment, as if everything was happening to someone else. But now, with me sitting on his sofa, in his house, it finally hits me. This is really happening
Natalia Grey/FL
Natalia Grey/FL
Something must be very wrong with me because, yes, I feel the anxiety and I’m nervous, but there is no fear*mumbles*

Natalia Grey/FL
*Look up to meet the eyes of the head to the Russian criminal underworld*
—the man who promised to kill me if I fail to play my part in his strange scheme —and that flock of butterflies explodes in my stomach again.
Dear God, I need to have my head checked, because instead of being afraid like a normal person, I’m attracted to him.
