#UNEDITED

“The start…of a new era” she said, and a low chuckled cracked in her throat. Slowly…it graduated to a grin, then a thrilling laughter.

The whooshing wind kept blowing inside through the crashed window, scattering papers and documents across the room.

Her laughter stopped suddenly, then she dragged the bodies of the two guards out of the room.

She summoned two guards from her own quarters. Her trusted guards.

They were shocked when they saw the bodies, but they didn’t argue when she ordered them to take the bodies away to burn.

The bodies were taken, then she proceeded to cleaning all the blood Erik passed out.

He made everything look as perfect as possible before going outside the house.

Standing in front of the building, she summoned five compound guards, and they came running to her, bowing their heads.

“Tell it to every living thing in this compound, that The Pakhan is dead” She broke the news, and the guards eyes came so wide that it almost fell off.

“Wh…what??”

“And tell Sin to post the notice on the bulletin for The Bratva to see. Erik Orlov is gone” she further talked, and the guards bowed again before leaving in different directions.

Immediately they left, Madden appeared, just coming from the basement.

No words were exchanged between them. Her eyes were enough to tell him what’s going on.

They went back in together, and she led him to Erik’s room where his body is lying.

“Took you how many years?” He said with no pity in his eyes.

“Bottom line is… He’s gone now, and I’m sure he cast his vote already, probably with his consigliere. His vote will be revealed on the election day, but it’s already obvious who his vote is for. I guess the real struggle starts now” Klara replied, breathing in fresh air.

“I’m not after his damn vote, I have my ways with Sergei and the others.” Madden replied, and Klara faced him.

“What are you…

“Ever heard of the name Nazeera?” Madden cut her off.

“No. Why? Who’s that?” She asked curiously, and Madden smirked slightly.

“Your husband’s other woman” he said and walked out of the room.

Klara’s eyes widened, but she quickly ran after him, catching up in the hall.

“What are you saying, Madden! Ivan was not a cheat where did you hear that from? We all know he was innocent! He was framed!” She ranted.

“I’m done believing that shit. For a damn moment, I actually forgot that this is a mafia empire where you can’t even trust your own father! Ivan was a cheat! End of story! And that same Nazeera is the fuçking Masked Monster!” He snapped.

“What!” Klara said with shaky lips as her arms fell on her sides.

At that same moment, Igor ran into the hall.

When he saw Klara and Madden, he stopped for a while, staring with wide freaked eyes.

In another minute, he was already back on his race, running forward and pushing Klara out of the way.

He rushed into Erik’s room and immediately fell on his knees when he saw his dead body.

“Father!!!!!” He cried like a kid, crawling fast to his body.

He held his face and started shaking him, his blood staining his palms.

“Father!!!!!!”

Sin was the second person to rush in, and he looks so speechless when he saw the body.

He couldn’t move. He just stood by the door and stared with wide mouth and folded fists.

Then Maya came over with Andrei.

Maya looks just as apathetic as Madden, no emotions at all.

Andrei looked sad for a second, but then the sadness wiped off.

He just stood beside Maya, watching Igor who’s still crying loudly.

Suddenly, Igor stood with tearily red face, and he faced Klara…

“You… You did this, right? You killed him!!!” He yelled and started running to her, but Madden already covered her before he could get there.

“Move out of my way ungrateful leeches! He did nothing but take you in when your cheater of a father died in an hotel! Father took you all in and gave you shelter! He protected you from outsiders but all you could pay him with is this? Y’all tried to steal The future Pakhan position from me, but that wasn’t enough. You had to kill him too? Ivan wasn’t even fit to be The Pakhan in the first place! Y’all Smirnovs are worthless!!!” Igor cried, but then the loud sound of slap sounded in the room, travelling through the walls.

Madden had slapped Igor!

Igor held his face with wide eyes as he looked up slowly…

“How dare you!!!!” He yelled, but then the second slap came from Madden again on the same cheek.

This time, Igor staggered and fell on Erik’s body on the ground, his eyes dimming.

“You wanna talk about witthly? Then your f+çking father Erik tops the list. Buckle your belt, Igor. There’s a whole lot more to come, and it’ll be harder cos there’s no father you can cry to anymore, and you don’t even know your mother, do you?” Madden harshly said, and tears came out of Sin’s eyes.

“Please… please stop saying that” he muttered.

Madden looked his way, and a dark crescent covered his features before he walked out of the room.

“When is the burial? This calls for a heavy celebration” Maya said nonchalantly.

“That’d be decided by The Bratva after their meeting” Klara replied, walking out of the room too.

Maya followed her, and Igor resumed his tears.

Andrei crouched over him and started patting his back, trying to console him while Sin backed the wall as grief devoured him.

MANOR*

Eight years old Adeline could be seen waiting beside a busy road, looking around as her fluffy air got blown by the morning breeze.

Her mother is at the other side of the road, trying to get her some jelly pancakes and spring rolls since she loves them so much.

The line was long, so Mrs. Wilson has to wait for long, and Adeline was starting to get impatient…

“Mum!!” She called out to her, but she couldn’t hear her.

Adeline was about to call her for the second time when someone else did it…

“Mum!!!”

Adeline turned and saw another girl who’s about five years old, standing beside the road too.

The odd thing is that she’s calling out to Mrs. Wilson too.

“Mum!!!”

“She’s my mum, not yours!” Adeline snapped at her.

“She’s my mum too! I’m your sister!” The girl replied.

“My sister is dead you’re lying!” Adeline glared.

“No I’m your sister!” The girl insisted.

“My sister is dead!” Adeline insisted too.

“I’m your sister!!!” The girl screamed, and that brought Adeline back to consciousness.

It’s a dream!

She spranged up and sat up in bed, breathing heavily as her chest rose and fell.

She pushed her hair away from her face and gulped.

“Madden I had a…

She wasn’t able to finish the sentence when she noticed Madden’s absence.

He’s not in, and at the same time, she heard the alarm ringing at the door.

She quickly got down from the bed and limped out of the room, proceeding to the main door.

She opened it and was surprised to see Trixie waiting there.

“What are you doing here?” She questioned.

“Jinx said you’re here when I asked, so I came. I need to talk to you” Trixie replied frankly.

“On what?” Adeline asked with a frown.

“You once entered The Pakhan’s office, right? That’s because you’re looking for something which I assume you haven’t found yet. I have something to find out too. Now that he’s dead, we should raid the office together before election since the security won’t be that tight” Trixie explained, and Adeline squinted.

“Wait… excuse me… who’s… Who’s dead?”

“Oh I guess you didn’t hear about it yet. Erik is dead. He died less than an hour ago” Trixie said, and Adeline gasped.

“What!”

THREE MINUTES LATER*

Trixie is already in the hell-like living room with Adeline, and they’re sitting face-to-face on the black gothic couches right now.

“Shouldn’t you be there with Igor and Sin now? I get that you’re not an Orlov, but…still” Adeline said.

“I’m not an Orlov nor a Smirnov, so I don’t have any right to see his body. It works that way” Trixie replied.

“Oh… So where did Erik get you from?” Adeline asked.

“I have no f+çking idea, Micheal. Which is why I need to ransack his office and look for clues… I need your help and I promise we won’t get caught this time” Trixie said pleadingly.

“I’m not helping you, Trixie. I’m helping myself cos I need to find documents relating to my parents too” Adeline replied.

“Seriously?” Trixie asked.

“Yeah. Corey was sent to assassinate my parents, and though he didn’t do it, but I still need to find the reason he was sent, right? My parents have a connection with this place” Adeline replied.

“Cool, then let’s help each other out” Trixie left her seat to come sit beside her.

“Fine, we’ll map out a plan. So when is the election?” Adeline asked.

“The date will be chosen after the burial, and believe me it’d be bloody, cos Erik has a hidden son, and I think his vote is for the hidden son. Igor has no clue at all, even Sin isn’t aware of the hidden son” Trixie whispered.

“Then how did you find out?” Adeline asked.

“Corey told me about it when he was still here. He was close to Erik so I guess Erik told him things” Trixie replied, and Adeline nodded.

“But don’t worry… I’ll support Madden till eternity. He might not like me but ion care ” Trixie said, and Adeline smiled, suddenly holding eyes with her.

Oddly, Trixie’s eyes are just as crystal-like as her mother’s own.

“Are you really 24?” She asked suddenly.

“Nope! Ok I’ll tell you a secret” Trixie inched closer to her

“Yeah?” Adeline leaned in.

“Maya is older than Igor by two years. Igor is older than Madden by two years too, then Madden is older than Sin by two years also. I wanted to fit into the system, so i started telling everyone that Sin is older than me by two years too. Truthfully, he’s older by four years” Trixie whispered.

“Meaning… you’re 22?” Adeline sniffled, and Trixie blinked.

“Are you gonna cry?”

“Just that…if my junior sister didn’t die, then she’d be 22 too right now” Adeline said, fighting back the tears.

“Oh…” Trixie said, sharing her sadness immediately, but then she cheered up.

“Since Erik is dead now, you can adopt me don’t you think? Let me become your sister by adoption” she said, and Adeline grinned.

“No I’m serious! Maya is cool as a big sis but yunno…I can’t handle her craziness sometimes. Then… Sinclair is now my boyfriend so I need a new brother….and that’s you” Trixie winked, and Adeline smiled widely.

“Really?”

“Really” Trixie cheerfully said, and they both smiled at the same time, then the front door opened, and Madden came in.

Trixie quickly spranged up.

“We’ll make the plan after the burial tomorrow” she quickly said before rushing past Madden, out of the house.

“What plan? And what was she doing here?” Madden questioned as Adeline limped to him.

“Sneak into The Pakhan’s office again, and she came here to just talk” she replied, and she saw fire form in his eyeballs.

“Who said you could take in visitors?” He said, clearly pissed.

“She’s not a visitor… She’s your…

“If you’re gonna say sister, then then shut the fûck!” He snapped, and Adeline almost snapped back, but then she took a deep breath, calming herself before taking the remaining steps to him.

She hugged him tight, resting her head on his chest to listen to his heartbeats.

Thump…

Thump…

It’s normal, and she smiled when she felt the normalcy.

“I understand you’re agitated, but please… Keep calm… Hmm? For me” she whispered, and he immediately wrapped his arms on her too, hugging her back as he calmed down.

“You’re not safe here in Russia, Addie.” He said.

“I’m safe with you” she replied sharply.

“Are you making that decision with your whole heart?” He said.

“Yeah… I’m not going anywhere. I’ll always be here… Right beside you” she replied.

“Then you can’t question any decision I make in the future” he said, and she looked up at him.

“So far it favours me, and it favours you… Then it’s cool” she replied, and he brought down his hands to the small of her back, holding it there before holding eyes with her.

“What?” She smiled, and he brought his second hand to her face, caressing her freckles sensually.

How madly he has become obsessed with those beauties is immeasurable.

Adeline leaned into his hand as he caressed, and he took all his time staring at the beauty in front of him.

All belonging to him… All for him.

Telling her she’s not safe in Russia was only a sleazy talk, and as expected of her, she didn’t fall for it.

His Addie never disappoints…his woman never fails his expectations.

Even if she said she was leaving, he wouldn’t ever allow it. She’s trapped with him forever, even if he has to lock her up.

“I need a haircut.. I’m too hairy and it’s bothersome” she said.

“You’re not getting a haircut anymore” he replied flatly, and she opened her eyes.

“Why?”

“I want your hair long… No razor or clipper will touch the strands” he bluntly said.

“Then what?” She raised her brows.

“A male golden wig is not so hard to find” he raised his perfect brows, and she smiled widely.

“Awww… aren’t you being so cool right now? I like when you act cool like this, but is red really your favorite color?” She suddenly asked.

“I hate all colour, but my hate for red is less, cos it shares same colour with blood” he crazily replied.

“Why do you hate all colour?” She asked.

“Colours are fake, like humans” he replied and started going inside, but then she suddenly hugged him from behind, and he stopped.

“Promise me you’ll win the election by all means. You won’t lose to Erik’s hidden son” she said, and he unlocked her fingers from his tummy before facing her.

He held her face, and the next thing she felt was his lips on hers.

The kiss was gentle but deep and sensational, as if sealing the promise with it.

She felt her heart unlock again, and it began thudding erratically.

Madden smirked on her lips when he heard the thudding of her heart. It was pounding in his ears, and it’s so devastatingly beautiful

She sank her hands under his shirt, touching him all-over on the skin and inner skin. He allowed it, kissing deeper into her mouth as he picked her up, and her legs wrapped s+xily on his masculine waist.

She might not be sure of anything else, but one thing is so damn sure…

This man right here…is hers.

Madden Smirnov is hers, and hers alone. No one is taking her man away.
