“Then don’t ever think about that again. I mean it, Adrian. You couldn’t get rid of me even if you tried. We took vows and I intend to keep them.”
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
And I intend to keep it that way, even if I have to resort to ways Adrian wouldn’t approve of. What my husband doesn’t know is that he isn’t the only one bent on protecting me. I’d do the same. With my life, if I have to.
“Thank you.” If my jaw could hit the floor, it would right about now. “What did you just say? I think I’m hearing things.” “Thank you for bringing Boss back. You’re the only one who could’ve done something like that.” I swallow to not choke on my own spit, then clear my throat. “I…I did what any wife would’ve done for her husband.” “No, you went beyond that.” She pauses. “At first, I thought you were the wrong choice for him.”
Awwwwww
“You, too,” I whisper back and get on my tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. His expression falters for a bit as he’s taken aback. Since he makes it his mission to keep his distance from me in front of his precious Bratva, I’ve done the same and have never shown any PDA before. However, now is different. Now, I intend for the world to learn that he belongs to me as much as I belong to him.
FINALLY 😍😍😍
“He seems disinterested, but I’m starting to think it was all a façade. No one would’ve thought he would go against Granduncle for you, but he refused to divorce you, even if it meant saving his life.” My lips part. “He did?” “Yeah. Everyone called him stupid, including Kirill, who’s his ally. Me, however? I was impressed. Even Sergei is.” “Sergei?” “Yes.” “The same Sergei who seems to want my head?”
It was all a facade indeed
My husband wraps a possessive arm around my waist and I place a palm on his strong shoulder as we slowly sway to the music. “I didn’t know you danced, Adrian.” “I don’t.” “You are right now.” “Because you look beautiful.” “You’re dancing because I look beautiful?” “It’s a perfectly good reason.”
😍😍😍😍
Moisture gathers in my eyes and I hug him, resting my head against his chest. Because I know, I just know that something different just blossomed between us. Trust.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My Lenochka has been slowly but surely evolving, and I don’t want to miss any second of it. Is this a new form of an obsession? Possibly. I have no doubt that just like her character, my obsession with her will keep growing to match it.
Goood 😍❤️
It’s simple. I’m done treating my wife like a stranger when she’s always been the only person who mattered in a room full of people. The only person I see.
FINALLY
Silence greets me and I glance back to find both men staring at me with peculiar expressions. “What? Just because I wasn’t talkative, doesn’t mean I don’t know these things.”
😂😂😂😂
“Of course I did. Why the hell do you think I jumped off that fucking cliff?” I breathe deeply so I don’t have a meltdown. “Just because I didn’t speak up, didn’t mean I was fine. I was hurt countless times and deeply so. I won’t continue to bottle everything inside and let it fester, then eat me alive. I’m not that Lia anymore, Adrian.”
😢😢😢😢
“What the fuck are you doing here?” I ask Yan. “Why aren’t you with Lia?” “Didn’t you tell me not to be with her alone?” He retrieves his phone. “Wait. She called me.” Of course she did. I still hate their friendship. I don’t care how many times it’s saved her or how much she needs it. Sucking in a breath, I head outside, checking her tracker on my phone, then freeze. It’s fucking moving away.
“Adrian…” I shake my head. “I didn’t mean to that time… I don’t want to now…” “Nothing will happen to you.” “Yes, it will if you don’t stay away.” Luca presses the weapon harder against my temple. Something glints in the darkness in Adrian’s hand and my eyes widen as I recognize the gun. Luca seems to have noticed it, too, because he pulls me back in one swift movement. I shriek as a bullet is fired. Bang!
😱😱😱😱😱
“I’m sorry for making you feel bad when I should’ve done the opposite. I lost the ability to feel love when I was a boy, but you’ve slowly but surely yanked those feelings out of me. You didn’t only yank them out, you also held tight to a part of me I thought was long gone. For you, I want to go back in time and keep that part alive for the moment I met you. In the past, I thought people were destined to leave, so being attached to anyone was useless. And I thought that at some point, you would leave, too. I fought the pull to you. I fought the lure of your rose scent and your breakable

“I’ll try to be better. Though I’ll probably never be a hero.” “Who says I want a hero? I’m perfectly happy with you, my villain.” “You are?” “Absolutely.” I wrap my arms around his waist. “I love you, Adrian, and though it hurts sometimes, I’ve never regretted it.” His lips meet mine and I squeal as he picks me up and carries me in his arms.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s been almost seven years since I first met Adrian. We started with blood and death, but something much more beautiful blossomed from the darkness. It’d be a lie to say we live a fairytale. If there’s anything that won’t change about Adrian, it’s the fact that he’s a villain.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
We agreed to have a second child not too long ago and Adrian has had a blast trying to impregnate me. He fucks me any chance he gets and whenever I become a brat and whine about it, he says it’s to give Jeremy a sibling and that we should both sacrifice for the greater good. His large hand strokes my stomach. “Our baby is here?” “Yes. Our baby.”
😍😍😍😍😍
He said he will protect her as her older brother.
JEREMY IS EVERYTHING
arms around my neck. “You’re not only my lover and my husband, you’re also my best friend and my partner in everything.” “And you are mine, Lenochka.” “I love you, Mr. Volkov.” “I love you, Mrs. Volkov.” And I’ll spend the rest of my life showing her exactly how deep and raw that love is.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
