Chapter 13: The arson
As I walk back to the dining room I listen to Nikolay exclaim. “Mother, you forgot your heart medicine! You know you have to take it with every meal!”
“Oh, I don’t know where they are, I tried to find them this morning but I couldn’t,” grandma Yelena says annoyed by his son’s remark.
I watch the scene standing in the hallway, the Ivanov family hasn’t notice me yet.
“I can go look for them, ma’am,” Margaret offers as she helps the maid refill the glasses of orange juice.
“Oh, don’t bother, Maggie, you are too sweet,” grandma Yelena says.
“It’s no bot

Married to the mafia Chapter 14: She is inside the house
(Dimitri ’s P.O.V.)We step out of the house slowly. There’s not much we can do, we saw the houses being engulfed by the flames from my cousin’s window, luckily everyone was at my father’s house having brunch so no one is harmed. The firemen are already here and are doing their jobs, we can’t do much aside from watching them work. I just hope they are not going to start asking too many questions afterward, they wouldn’t have a motive though, as far as they are concerned we are just a regular family that shares a piece of land and lives together. Hopefully, they won’t get too curious and if they do, we can always try to bribe them. I fold my arms across my chest and I look at the firemen trying to extinguish the flames with their hoses. Kirill and I walk toward the rest of the family, we all stay a few steps behind from the commotion so we don&rsq

(Dimitri ’s P.O.V.)I run towards the house as fast as I can. As I approach the fire the heat from the flames gets more intense but I don’t let that stop me. I hear my family calling my name from a distance and then a few firemen join them asking me to stop. I ignore them all, what kind of scum would I be if I did nothing while Victoria is in danger? She may be a Solis and a pain in the ass, but that doesn’t mean I am going to let her burn to death. She is my wife after all!I go inside the house, the living room and kitchen are almost completely engulfed by the fire.“Victoria! Victoria!” I shout as hard as I can while I search for her frenetically, but there is no answer.I walk carefully trying to avoid the flames, my leather jacket helps a little to protect my arms, but I
Married to the mafia Chapter 16: I would have done it for anyone
(Dimitri’s POV)I walk around from one side to the other feeling restless, then I take a seat on the uncomfortable chair in the waiting room at the Central Hospital and I rest my arms on my legs. I slowly open and close my fist, my skin is itching from the burn I got when I went inside the house.“Do you want a cup of coffee, Dimitri? You look like you need one,” Kirill comments as he hands me a cardboard cup from the vending machine.“Thank you,” I reply curtly. “Have you seen my mother?”“I think she is keeping Margaret company, she inhale a lot of smoke and the doctors wanted to run some tests,” Kirill explains to me. “What about Victoria? Have you heard anything?”&ldquo
Married to the mafia Chapter 17: The mall
(Victoria P.O.V.)I was released from the hospital two days ago. The experience was very traumatic for me, but luckily I wasn’t hurt physically, just some minor burns in my arms that are already starting to heal. My body is fine but my mind is another story, I’ve been having nightmares since that day. Sometime I wake up in the middle of the night screaming, terrified because I dream I’m surrounded by fire, I feel exhausted and restless. The only good thing that came out of it is that Dimitri allowed me to talk to my family on the phone. I didn’t mention anything about the arson, I lied and told them I was very happy and that I didn’t call them before because I have been busy. I prefer for them to think that I am alright, I know my mom and sister are worried for me, but I rather not confirm their fears.Other th
Married to the mafia Chapter 18: Lucas
It takes me a while to compose myself. Anastasia’s words hurt too bad. I cry my pain out and then I splash cold water on my face, I wish I could stay hiding in here until it was time to go home, but I refuse to let Anastasia know that her ill-intended comments had such a strong effect on me. I take a deep breath before I open the bathroom door. I start to walk back to the store Irina and Anastasia are at, but unexpectedly someone clasps my hand and drags me behind a vending machine where no one can see us.“Why you didn’t want me to approach you, Vicky? Who are those women that were with you?”I know who it is before I look at his face, his voice, his scent… Lucas looks at me nervously as he places me between his body and the mall’s wall. Lucas puts his hands on the wall to my sides, he leans toward me, his eyes holding mine, I am warmed by the fire in his eyes. I can’t beli
Married to the mafia Chapter 19: A burglar in the night
I bite my nails nervously as I wait for Dimitri to arrive. I still can’t stop thinking about the kiss I shared with Lucas. That brief stolen moment that will forever accompany me to wherever I go… I know it can never happen again and that I am going to get into serious trouble for it, but yet I can’t put the memory away from my mind, If I close my eyes I can still feel his lips on mine. I shake my head, trying to focus on what is really important: facing Dimitri. I dread the moment he’ll come home and I am going to have to explain what happened to him. Every time I take a peek outside, I can see Anastasia looking out from her bedroom window awaiting to see Dimitri’s car come. I’m doing the exact same thing as she. After I while, I hear the sound of Dimitri’s car approaching. He parks in front of our house and gets out of the car. My heart sinks to my stomach. I stride to the front door, I need to get to him before his mother tells him what
Married to the mafia Chapter 20: We had a visitor
I walk towards the staircase to hear what is going on downstairs. I hear a thump and then two people grappling. I run downstairs and I stay still at the foot of the staircase. Dimitri is fighting against a man wearing a ski mask. His gun lies a few steps from where they are in the living room. Why didn’t Dimitri just shoot him instead of getting into a physical confrontation? The intruder is a gigantic man, he is several inches taller than Dimitri and my husband is a pretty tall man. The intruder grabs Dimitri by the shoulders and slams him against the wall hard. My husband kicks him in the stomach with his knee, but that is not enough to take such a large man down. I notice that under my feet lies a metallic stick. The intruder must have hit my husband with it because Dimitri’s forehead is bleeding. Both men keep on fighting brutally, Dimitri is really skillful and strong, but the intruder is too large and too powerful. I look towards the dining room and I see Bol
Married to the mafia Chapter 21: Heroic girl
I stay in the shower until the hot water runs out and the cold forces me to get up and turn the tap off. I wrap my body in a towel and go back to the bedroom. I left the door open, so I can hear several voices downstairs. I stand under the doorframe as I listen to what they say. Dimitri’s family is here along with several guards.“How did someone broke into the complex without nobody noticing it? How incompetent are you?!” Nikolay asks angrily.“Sir, we don’t know…” a guard says nervously.“I don’t want to hear any more excuses! I want results and I want them now! What am I paying you for?!” Nikolay shouts enraged.“This is been the second time in a few days that our security has been compromised, what is happening?” Uncle Vlad asks
