I will do anything for Cat. Sacrifice anything. Pay any price. I’ll grovel forever if that’s what it takes to get her back. I don’t give a fuck if I look stupid in front of the whole school, or if Vanya spreads the news of this to all of Moscow, undermining my position in the Bratva. I want Cat more than I want anything—even to become Pakhan. I’ve never loved someone more than my own ambition. It’s terrifying. Because I’m not in control of Cat. I can’t make her love me. All I can do is hope.
