Chapter 143: Epilogue

Luka

My life has never been better since I married my baby girl. Nikolai was finally blessed with a healthy baby boy from Lydia. They named him Alexander Nikolai Vasiliev. Any day now, Anna will be having my child. Some days she’s very happy, but then others anything could set her off. I blame the Vasiliev genes. Nikolai says it’s just the pregnancy hormones, but I disagree. It’s a little bit of both.

“Luka, secure him.” Nikolai ordered.

“Let me go, I’m innocent.” The younger man pleaded.

“Oh, he’s innocent Luka.” Nikolai chuckled darkly and removed his jacket.

“Aren’t they all? Were you innocent when you raped that poor girl all those years ago. You know, she’s a very close person to us. You fucked up.” I growled tightening the rope around his wrists.

“Please, you don’t have to do this.” I laughed at him as he began to tremble.

“Don’t kill him, his blood has been promised to someone else.” Nikolai cracked his neck and stood over him. “Did you think you really got away with it? This has been a long time coming. Did you forget who I fucking am? I have eyes and ears all over the place.”

“N-no, p-please have mercy on me.” He screamed out as Nikolai picked up the wire cutters.

“N-no, p-please have mercy on me.” Nikolai mimicked him in a high pitched voice.

This man had been a dead man walking ever since he did what he did. He kidnapped a dear friend to our Markus and needed to pay for his sins. Of course, the man’s death wouldn’t be at our hands. It would be at Fiona’s. She had been stalking him for months and finally had him at her fingertips. And yes…Markus had no idea and would get pissed at her, but that wasn’t our business. Fiona stepped inside and out of the shadows.

“Did you miss me, darling?” Her lips curved into a smirk as her heels clicked on the concrete floor.

“N-n-no! You’re not real…I-I killed you. This is all a dream.” He struggled against the rope squirming in the chair.

“Darling, I assure you it’s not a dream. In fact, it’s a nightmare. I’ve dreamed of this for so long.”

“You’re not real…it’s all in my head.” He shook his head closing his eyes.

“Fiona, do the honors.” Nikolai placed the wire cutters in the palm of her hand.

“Thank you, Mr. Vasiliev.” She grinned and pressed the cutters against his pinkie saying. “If this is a dream, then this won’t hurt a bit.”

“I’ll stay with her, you go home to your wife. She needs you to be there in case she goes into labor.” Nikolai offered. “And tell Lydia I’ll be home soon.”

As I stepped in the estate, Lydia was pacing the floor with Alexander on her hip. “Thank god you’re back. It’s time, Anna’s contractions are getting closer together.”

“Why didn’t you call Nikolai? We would’ve been here within seconds.”

“She thought you would be back before they got any closer. Hurry, she’s upstairs in the bedroom.”

I could hear her blood curdling screams as I reached the top of the stairs. I paused at the door and took a deep breath. The moment I’d been waiting for has arrived. I was finally going to have what I longed for. My baby girl and our child was all I needed. Sure, Nikolai and his circle would be my family too, but Anna and my daughter would always come first. No matter what.

“Anna, baby girl, I’m here.” I whispered placing a kiss to her temple.

“Luka, it hurts so much.” She whimpered as she winced in pain.

“Shhh, I’m here.” I held her hand wiping the sweat from her brow.

“Fuck!” She hissed as another wave of pain hit her.

“Anna, one more push.” Rose coaxed her.

“Ahhh!” Anna screamed out and that’s when I heard it. My baby…our daughter’s cries as Rose held her in her arms.

“Luka, would you like to do the honors?” she asked handing me the scissors.

“Of course.” I replied cutting the umbilical cord and placed them on the tray.

“What’s her name?”

“Tahlia Viktoria Alexeev.” I replied with a smile.

“Let me just clean her up and I’ll be right back.” Rose said holding her close.

“You did so good, baby girl.” I said laying next to her.

“I love you, Luka.” She pressed a kiss on the corner of my mouth.

“And I love you, baby girl…so fucking much.” I tilted her head and pressed my lips against hers.

“Here she is, I’ll just leave you two alone. Just call if you need me.” Rose said giving Viktoria to Anna.

“I love you, Viktoria.” Anna said pulling her top down and the baby began to suckle on her breast.

Everything I ever wanted was right here in my arms.

And I would protect them no matter what…even if I had to sacrifice myself for it.

I groaned when I realized something. I would have to definitely break some bones when my daughter got older. If she was anything like Anna, I would have to lock her up for an eternity just to keep the boys away.

“What’s wrong, Papa?” Anna asked looking into my eyes.

“I realized that I’m going to have to do exactly what Nikolai did your whole life.” I sighed running my hand over my face.

“And if she’s anything like her mother, she’s going to raise some hell.” She nudged my arm smirking.

Extended Bonus Epilogue

Anna

I glanced over to Luka as everyone ate their dinner. My fingers brushed against his thigh making him choke on his drink. I loved getting him all riled up because that meant one thing…he became Papa Luka.

“Anna,” He hissed under his breath as my fingers trailed up to his zipper. “I’m two seconds from taking you to the bedroom.”

“Maybe I want you to.” I bit my lip and traced the zipper with my fingernail.

“Baby girl, don’t make me show you who’s in charge. Now, eat your dinner.” He whispered glancing over at my brother.

“But I’m finished with it. I’m ready for my dessert.” I ran my tongue over my bottom lip making him suck in a breath.

“Is there a problem, Luka?” Nikolai cleared his throat raising an eyebrow.

“Not at all.” Luka shook his head chuckling lightly. “I just forgot Anna asked me to discuss something with her. If you’ll excuse us, we have some things to talk about.”

Luka gripped my wrist and stormed out of the room leading me upstairs. My heart was beating so fast as we reached the last step. He pulled me into our room and threw me on the bed with an evil glint in his eyes.

“Do you think that was funny, little girl?” Luka unbuttoned his shirt and let it fall to the floor.

“Yes, it was Papa.” I knew I was adding fuel to the fire, but it had been a few months since we was able to have sex. I was finally cleared from the doctor and I was ready to pounce on him.

“Stand up and strip, baby girl. Show me what belongs to me.” He growled as he stripped off his pants leaving him in only his boxers.

Letting the dress fall to the floor, I stood there in my bra and panties. He crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head. “Those too…I want to see all of you.”

“W-what?” I gulped and took my bra off and slid my panties off.

“Fuck, you’re even more beautiful than before. Now, bend over that bed and spread your thighs.”

“Are you ready for my cock, baby girl?” He positioned himself behind me lining up the tip at my entrance.

“Da, Papa.” I whispered arching my back to give him access.

“Fuck, you dirty girl…you know what calling me that does to me, don’t you?”

“Fuck me hard, Luka.” I whimpered.

“Ask me the right way.” He grabbed a fistful of hair and yanked my head back to face him.

“Papa, please fuck me hard.” My voice trembled as he slammed into me full force.

What started out a dirty little secret turned into an undying love that could never be destroyed. I loved this man more than anything in the world. We began as the forbidden lovers, but now we’re living proof that fairytales can come true.

He was my knight in shining armor.

My dark prince.
