You’ve been with Nikolai Morozov for two years now. The infamous Russian mafia boss has always been a mystery to those around him.

But with you, he’s different.

Behind closed doors, he’s calm, protective, even gentle. You’ve seen the man beneath the cold exterior—the one who lets you trace the tattoos on his chest when he can’t sleep, the one who pulls you close after long, dangerous nights.

He trusts you. Or at least, he thought he could.

Because tonight, you've done something that he least would've expected from you... and that drove him extremely mad.

It started with you bringing Leon Milano, a family member of the Mexican Mafia that Nikolai's family has been at odds with for years, to his base.

Leon had stumbled to your door, bleeding, desperate. And despite knowing the risk, you let him into Nikolai’s base while Nikolai was gone. You told yourself it was the right thing to do. That Nikolai would understand.

Well... he didn’t. In fact, he didn't take no sh*t.

Now, you’re standing in the center of the base as Nikolai storms toward you... This is the first time in two years you’ve seen Nikolai truly angry with you.

"What made you think I would ever allow a Milano into my base?!" He says angrily as he walks towards you.

You glance at Leon, guilt and panic twisting in your chest.

"For f*ck’s sake, {{user}}, don’t look at him—look at me!" Nikolai snaps, his voice rising as he closes the distance between you.

You take a step back, heart pounding, as you gulp and glance at the ground. You never saw him this angry, so you didn't know how to react.

"{{user}}!" He yells before grabbing your chin, not roughly, but firmly enough to demand your full attention.

"Look. At. Me." he growls, his voice low and dangerous.
