Introduction
"Como se ordenó," responde él.
"Entonces, ¿por qué no me mataste a mí?" exijo, con la voz quebrada y lágrimas rodando por mis mejillas.
"Porque tú eras el precio," responde fríamente.
Yo era un precio para el sicario de la Bratva, lo enviaron a matar a mi padre y me secuestró en el proceso.
Lo que me asusta es que mi corazón debe haber encontrado su lugar amando a este villano.
¿Qué pasa cuando lo secuestran a él y tengo que encontrar la manera de sacarlo de ese infierno de celda?

Chapter 1
DANILL
El Pakhan sentado frente a mí levanta una ceja, su mirada fija en mí, esperando mi respuesta. Murmura una maldición entre dientes y alcanza su vaso de vodka, tomando un largo sorbo. Sus labios se tensan en una fina línea mientras continúa mirándome.
Probablemente esté furioso por la cantidad de dinero que estoy pidiendo, pero no me importa en absoluto. Quiere que se haga un trabajo, a su manera y bien hecho. Y sabe mejor que nadie el costo de hacer un trabajo de la manera correcta.
"Entiendo que solo respondes a un Pakhan, y aun así, tu lealtad reside únicamente con la Bratva. Pero debes ofrecerme un trato," dice.
"¿Debo?" Me recuesto en mi silla y pregunto.
Estamos en un restaurante, el único lugar donde se puede discutir abiertamente de negocios. Pozhaluysta es el lugar designado para tales asuntos. La mayoría de los hombres sentados alrededor de las mesas, murmurando entre ellos, son miembros de la Bratva involucrados en diversos tratos comerciales.
Aunque venimos de diferentes partes de la ciudad, bajo diferentes Pakhans y en diferentes empresas, todos somos Bratva. Este es un refugio seguro donde podemos discutir cómodamente la vida, trabajos o cualquier otra cosa.
Y es precisamente por eso que Fyodor me llamó aquí para almorzar.
Quiere que elimine a alguien.
No a cualquiera.
No simplemente a un enemigo o un socio comercial. Quiere que elimine a alguien cuya desaparición llamaría la atención. Por eso no puedo aceptar nada menos de lo que merezco por una tarea tan significativa. Espera que haga que parezca nada más que un suicidio.
"¿Qué gano yo?" pregunto.
"¿Además del dinero?" responde, levantando una ceja mientras se recuesta con su vodka en la mano.
"Sí, además del dinero. Verás, estoy poniendo mi vida en juego, no tú. Simplemente, el dinero no es suficiente."
Él emite un murmullo en respuesta. "Dijiste que no habría descuento, ningún trato para el trabajo. Así que recibirás dinero. Nada más."
Sacudo la cabeza una vez, aclaro mi garganta. "Para reclutar a los hombres que necesitaré para esta tarea, tendré que pedir favores o adquirir nuevos. Me pone en una posición donde estaré utilizando mis recursos personales. Quiero asegurarme de que estoy debidamente compensado."
"Belsky," advierte, usando mi apellido como si fuera un niño.
Mantengo su mirada, inquebrantable. Fyodor Davydov no me intimida. Nada de este hombre lo hace. Puede ser un Pakhan, pero no es mi Pakhan. Puede tener poder, pero yo también. Estamos casi en igualdad de condiciones, y aunque lo respeto, no tengo que inclinar mi cabeza ante él.
"Davydov?" respondo, usando también su apellido.
Me observa, sus ojos nunca dejando los míos, y luego suspira. Reconozco eso como una señal de rendición. Se inclina hacia adelante, coloca su vodka sobre la mesa y levanta las manos en señal de resignación. La bandera blanca ha sido levantada. Una pequeña sonrisa se forma en mis labios mientras espero que continúe porque sé que tiene algo que ofrecer.
"Está bien," escupe. "¿Qué quieres?"
Llevo mis manos a mi rostro, entrelazo mis dedos frente a mi boca y barbilla. Me siento frente a él, estudiándolo intensamente, esperando que se le ocurra algo que pueda despertar mi interés. No tengo ninguna petición específica ya que no estoy seguro de los términos.
Así que espero.
Deseo algo más intrigante que el mero dinero.
Así que me mantengo firme.
Entonces veo cómo sus ojos se abren y sus labios se estiran en una amplia sonrisa.
"Creo que tengo algo que te podría interesar. Es algo que no sugeriría a nadie más."
"Puedo manejarlo," respondo con una sonrisa. Un desafío suena divertido para mí.
Poco sé que mi vida está a punto de dar un giro dramático.
Esto es solo el comienzo.
HOLLAND
Mi padre me mira fijamente desde el otro lado de la mesa mientras cenamos. Apenas estoy comiendo, y estar aquí se siente obligatorio. Preferiría estar de compras, bailando o tomando una copa. Cualquier cosa menos sentarme frente a él, fingiendo ser civilizada.
"Asistirás a la fiesta de Navidad. Es de vestido negro, como siempre."
Casi pongo los ojos en blanco. Cada año, mi padre organiza una pretenciosa fiesta de Navidad, y cada año, me obliga a asistir. No porque quiera, no porque realmente desee que esté allí, sino porque quiere mostrar al mundo nuestra supuestamente perfecta familia.
En mi llamada familia, las apariencias importan, nada más... bueno, excepto el dinero.
Incluso mi madre vuela desde París para el evento, jugando a las apariencias y fingiendo ser su perfecta esposa para los paparazzi y la élite de Los Ángeles. A mí no me importa en absoluto.
Preferiría quedarme lejos de todo el asunto, descansando en casa con mis pijamas y una botella de vino. Pero él retiene mi regalo de Navidad como rehén si no me presento. Y me encantan los regalos de Navidad. También amenaza con no pagar mi alquiler del año si me niego.
"Sabes que estaré allí," murmuro.
"Me gustaría que te quedaras todo el fin de semana," añade. "¿Por qué?" pregunto de inmediato.
Mi corazón se acelera de pánico ante la idea de pasar todo el fin de semana con él y mi madre. No nos llevamos bien. Ellos no se llevan bien. Cuando estamos todos juntos, la toxicidad es tan palpable que me sorprende que no brillamos por la atmósfera.
Nunca quiere que me quede para nada. Usualmente, me voy la noche de la fiesta, ocasionalmente durmiendo en el dormitorio de arriba. Pero la mayoría de las veces, quiero escapar de ese ambiente lo antes posible.
Entonces, ¿por qué este año me pide que me quede? Debe haber una razón. Debe tener algo bajo la manga.
Nunca he confiado en mi padre, nunca, y no voy a empezar ahora.
Es famoso, arrogante y cree que es intocable. Se ve a sí mismo como una especie de dios, y no tengo tolerancia para sus tonterías.
Nunca.

"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
