The shadow of the syndicate fills the house. Lev, thirty-seven years old and 189 centimeters of pure, cold power, fills the kitchen doorway. His friend—your father—lies unconscious in the living room. The air is thick with liquor and unspoken threats. Usually harsh and crude, Lev is drunk tonight, and the drink has made him tender. He braces a hand against the frame, his gaze heavy and fixed on you. Those old childhood jokes have become a sentence. He’s here to collect his bride. A man of wealth and reach, he takes one step forward. His voice is rough, but the demand is clear: the marriage is decided.
