“I-I thought I’d never s-see you a-again…” She buries her face in her hands.

The red marks on her wrists catch my eye, and I try to ignore the bubbling rage inside me.

Igor and Alfonzo fucking hurt my girl, and I’ll make sure they both suffer the consequences.

“Shh, it’s okay. Tell me,kisa, are you hurt?”

She shakes her head, lowering her hands from her face. Her eyes are red and swollen and her cheeks are damp with tears.

I reach out to wipe them away with my thumbs, hoping that my touch will bring her comfort.

I want nothing more than to take her straight home where I can spend the rest of my life taking care of her, but I can’t ignore why we’re here in the first place.

“Is Igor here?” I glance around the small room.

There’s nothing here except the chair she was strapped to.

My mouth goes dry as I think of how terrified she must have been.

“He was. But he left in a hurry.”

“Did he say anything? I know this is a lot,solnyshka, but anything you can tell me will be helpful.”

Her lower lip trembles as she clings to my shirt.

“He got a call before he left. I-I didn’t hear what it was about, but…but he seemed angry. Livid even.” She wipes at her cheeks, and I can tell from the worry in her face that there’s more.

“Lucia? What is it?”

“He’s going to come for all of you. Even Leo a-and…” Her voice cracks, and she buries her face in my chest.

“He can fucking try, but he’s not going to get very far.” I stroke her hair.

Though my thoughts turn to Maxim, and I can’t help but wonder the lengths that Igor will go to in order to avenge his son.

I can only hope that my brothers and I get to him before Maxim’s death costs us the lives of our entire family.

“Oh, my god. I-I need to check if the baby is okay.” Lucia looks panicked.

“Baby?” I frown. “What baby?”

My eyes flick to her stomach.

My entire body freezes.

“I just found out. Before…” Her hands move to her abdomen.

“You’re pregnant?”

Lucia nods, her eyes filled with worry.

“Anton!” I hope my voice carries down the corridor to him. “I need to get Lucia to the hospital right fucking now.”

I’man anxious wreck as I sit beside Lucia in the examination room at the hospital. I still can’t believe that she’s alive, and that I managed to get to her in time.

Now I just have to hope that our baby is okay.

Our baby…
