“I’m so happy you are okay,” I told her. And I truly was, but there was currently a knot in my stomach. “We have to get to Olivia soon,” I added. Olivia and Anastasia were my only friends and I hated to see anything happen to either one of them.

“We’ll get her.” She sounded sure and I wondered if she had a plan. Not that I was in a position to help right now. “When Sergei comes to you, he knows how to contact me.”

And there was my confirmation! This couldn’t be a coincidence. It had to be one and the same Sergei.

“Okay. Love you.” I wasn’t even sure how the words came out of my mouth.

“Love you too. Bye.” And the line went dead.

In a robotic move, I handed the phone back to Michail, meeting his gaze.

“He’s coming,” I whispered, the betrayal bitter on my tongue. Sergei had been lying to me since day one. “My future husband, the man you work for. Sergei is coming.”

“Good. About time,” Michail replied.

I almost hoped he’d reply and ask who Sergei was. But he didn’t. A mixture of emotions swam through me. From betrayal, to relief Sergei was alive and unharmed, to anger, and right back to betrayal.

My family arranged a marriage with Sergei. He was a mobster too?

“Michail, I’m tired,” I told him. “Do you mind if I go back to my room?”

I have to think in peace through all this. Sergei was the man that I have been promised to for the past eight years!
