Kindle Notes & Highlights
“It means that if anyone, Mom included, suspects I’m not crazy in love with that son of a bitch, we’re dead.”
Someone hurt her, and for her to react this way, it must have been really bad.
At that moment Nina raises her head, our gazes connect, and she smiles at me. It’s like the sun has suddenly broken through the dark clouds, hitting me with its warmth, and I find myself wishing this was real and not just an act.
The head of the Russian criminal syndicate. A drug dealer. A killer. And I managed to fall in love with him. Someone please just lock me up in a mental institution, because that’s apparently where I belong.
“I’m in love with you, Roman.” I close my eyes for a second and squeeze her tightly. It’s like everything around me stopped. “Then we share the same problem, malysh.” I say into her neck, and feel her go still next to me.
When I raise my head and look at her, her lips are slightly quivering, and there are tears in the corners of her eyes. “That six-month deal? It’s off, Nina,” I say and squeeze her waist. “I don’t care what we agreed. You’re mine now and I’m not letting you go. Ever.”
“As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter. With or without crutches, I love you the same, baby. Even if you have to go back to using the wheelchair. I don’t care. I don’t give a fuck, Roman. The only thing I want, is you.
She took my black heart with her the day she left, and if she says no, she can keep it. I’m ruined for anyone else anyway.
“I will be killing anyone who dares to hurt you,” I whisper. “I’ll just make sure you don’t find out next time.”
“Do you have any idea what it does to me, feeling you go still with fear beneath me, watching the panic in your eyes? It guts me every time. Please don’t ask me to keep hurting you. I can’t bear it.”
“I love you so much, I would burn the fucking world for you.”
“You created a monster, Nina, because there is nothing I wouldn’t do. You only need to ask.”
