people
who repeat what I say, so watch your tongue if you want to keep it.”
    Andriena clamped her
mouth shut.
    “And I’m rather
surprised you’re still alive,” he added, “considering Sasha vowed to kill all
Donatelli in retaliation. I guess he’s softer when it comes to women, not to
mention he has a weakness for raven-haired beauties.”
    Still reeling over
what he’d said, Andriena remained silent, now understanding why Sasha hated her
family with such venom.
    The Black Russian
continued, “I imprisoned Sasha with you to see whether he would kill you or
not. I was hoping he did, but I guess it worked out that he didn’t, because I
might get something better out of it.”
    “You’re a monster,”
she yelled, instantly regretting it.
    “Say that without
cowering behind your sister.”
    Andriena remained
where she was, knowing she couldn’t, the memories of what he’d done to her
still fresh, his touch a permanent stain upon her soul.
    He grimaced at her,
his expression disdainful. “That’s precisely why I don’t want you anymore,
Andriena. You’re too timid. When I bought you I thought I was getting a
Donatelli vixen, not a timid little mouse scared of her own shadow. If you
didn’t look like a Donatelli I would never have guessed you were one. Now... your sister,” his cold blue gaze moved to Camila, “she would’ve been a much
better purchase.” He snapped his teeth at her.
    Camila tensed. “I’m
not for sale and my uncle shouldn’t have sold Andriena either.”
    “Nonetheless, he did,
and after what your family did to Sasha’s brother—”
    “My famiglia didn’t
shoot him.”
    “But one of their
guards did!”
    Both Camila and
Andriena jolted, his booming voice louder than a crack of thunder.
    He narrowed his eyes
at them, looking like he wanted to snap their necks. “Yuri was sweet and
loving, both beautiful inside and out, yet your family shot him down like a
mongrel.” He bent down and yanked Matteo to his feet. “And I demand your nephew
as payment for Yuri.”
    He snatched a syringe
out of Nikita’s hand and stuck it into Matteo’s arm. Matteo’s body went limp,
his eyes closing. The Black Russian pulled the needle out and swept Matteo up into
his arms. Andriena covered her mouth, her nephew looking dead.
    “Don’t look so upset,”
the Black Russian said. “He’s just unconscious.” He walked over to the bed and
laid Matteo down on the mattress, chaining him up again. Once finished, he
turned back to Andriena. “I knew Camila would choose you; she wouldn’t stop
talking about getting you back.”
    “Then why did you
give her the option?”
    “I wanted to see your
nephew’s response to it. He never fails to entertain me. Anyway, kiss each
other goodbye. You’ll be reunited after Jagger pays me for your release.”
He indicated to the door. “Ladies first: Andriena back to your cell and Camila
back to your beautiful boyfriend.”
    “You already know
Jagger’s going to pay you,” Camila replied, “so there’s no need to keep
Andriena locked up.”
    “No matter how much
you beg and whine, I won’t change my mind. If anything, I might ask Jagger for
more, and for something he’s unwilling to give, so leave before I encumber him
with a heavier burden.”
    Camila grimaced,
looking like she wanted to argue further, but instead tugged Andriena to the
door. As they stepped through it, Camila yanked her into a hug. “Not only is
Jagger working to free you, but the D’Angelo Don is too. You’ll be out by
tomorrow, Andriena. They’ll make sure of that.”
    “ Grazie .”
Andriena gripped onto her sister tight, feeling hope for the first time since
being sold. “I love you so much.”
    “I love you too.”
    “Watching you two get
emotional is turning my stomach,” the Black Russian said, “so part ways.”
    Andriena let go of
her sister. “Please give us one more moment.”
    “No.”
    “But I want my sister
to buy Sasha’s freedom,” she said, knowing
