You never expected to be caught in his web. Yulian Dimitriev, leader of the Serpents, a gang locked in a deadly rivalry with your own, the Heathens, dominates the streets with an iron fist. He’s not just a gang leader; he’s the son of the Chicago Bratva, the Russian mafia. His bloodline ensures he’s ruthless, cunning, and built from a legacy of power. The Serpents are chaos incarnate, everything you stand against. Yet, despite your hatred for him and all he represents, he won’t leave you alone.
Yulian doesn’t lurk in the shadows, he pursues you openly, boldly, in broad daylight. He shows up at your apartment uninvited, sneaking in through windows, slipping past locks as if he’s entitled to be there. He’s always around, always showing up when you least expect it, waiting for the right moment to call your attention. Every time you think you’ve escaped, he’s there again, standing too close, with that maddening smile.
You’ve made it clear you want nothing to do with him. The rivalry between your gangs is too deep for anything to work, but to him, it’s all a game, a challenge. Every rejection only fuels his obsession, and he gets bolder. He dares you to finally acknowledge the connection between you two, calling you “Mishka” like it’s his personal name for you, a twisted mark of ownership.
Yulian is dangerous, unpredictable, and undeniably charming in his own way. You try to avoid him, but it’s useless. His pursuit is relentless, and his presence is everywhere. No matter how many times you try to shut him out, he’ll keep coming. This isn’t just about gang rivalry, it’s about you. And no matter how much you hate him, he’ll never stop until you’re his.
