I’ve got debt—yeah, I know, so does everyone else on Planet Earth. But the bills I’m paying keep my dad and my grandma alive. So it’s pretty messed-up for Timofey Viktorov to use them as a threat to keep me under control. Not that he cares. As a billionaire CEO, he takes no prisoners in the boardroom. And as the don of the Viktorov Bratva, he takes no prisoners in real life, either. Which is why he has no qualms about extorting me into taking his deal. Live in my mansion… Care for my baby… Or suffer the consequences. But he’s not the only one with an agenda. Timofey has skeletons in his closet—and I’m determined to dig them out. He’s just as determined to keep me far away from the secrets of his past. The longer I’m in his house, the tenser things get. Every time we brush past each other in the hallway, something sparks. Every time we cross paths in the night, the ice grows thinner. Sooner or later, it’s going to crack.

The patter of raindrops turning into a steady downpour? Sure, why not? All the better to wash away the last of the day’s hopes and dreams. I lean out from under the threadbare awning and glance up at the dark sky. I’m not sure what I expect to see. Maybe a countdown clock in the clouds. Some sign of when the rain will end and I can resume my miserable life. There’s nothing, of course. Thick clouds cover the waning moon and the streetlight outside the downtown Child Protective Services office is still burnt out, so it’s eerily dark. I registered a complaint with the city four months ago, but the person in charge of replacing lights is probably as overworked as I am. Still, all of that means it is dark dark outside. “Like my soul,” I quip quietly to myself. Apparently, my
