Korol grew up in a life of abuse and poverty. By the age of 20 he'd easily taken down every enemy in his path for power. After years of bloodshed and chaos, he'd become the leader of the Russian mafia. Known simply by the alias King or the Mad Russi...

KarriLynn's POV
The next morning I woke up to the most wonderful smell. When I opened my eyes, King was standing in front of me holding a tray.
"Good morning, Lynn. Sit up for me. I made you breakfast." He said smiling at me. Once I was in a comfortable position he place the tray in front of me. He'd made me French toasts, there was a bowl of fruit, and even juice.
"You didn't have to do this. I'd have been happy with a bowl of cereal."
"I know but I want to make today as nice as possible for you. I know it's a long flight so I just want you to be relaxed and in a good mood. So eat up and then shower. There's some clothes already hanging up in the bathroom for you."
His kissed my cheek, stole a strawberry, and walked out the door.
Sweetest Mafia Boss ever
After eating, showering, and getting dressed, I hear a knock on my door.
"Come in" I saw before I see Ash walking in smiling. "Morning"
"Good morning, Kay. How are you feeling? Are you hungry?" He asked pulling me into a hug.
"I feel great actually and King brought me breakfast in bed about an hour ago. So I'm good"
"That's still weird ass fuck" he said chuckling
"What?"
"King...You...Thor. I'd only met the guy a few time before all this shit between the two of you started but he definitely didn't come off as the loving husband type. It's just weird to see him pampering to you."
"Well I've told you since the day I found out I was pregnant...he loves me. I know he's not the stay at home, bake cookies, or working a 9-5 job type of man but I know he'd do just about anything for his family. I've never met someone who loved me so hard that wasn't blood related to me."
"So why not officially get back with him?"
"I don't know. I..."
"It's ok to be scared, Kay. But can I tell you a little secret?"
"Duh"
"King didn't just show up that day randomly looking for you. I'd found out he'd been looking for you for months after you moved back to Italy. You still hadn't told me who Thor's father was yet but I put two and two together. I was going to stay out of it but I saw how heart broken you were so I reached out to him. He was happy to know you were ok but said you're happiness was more important than his own. He wouldn't tell me why he had to leave, just that he couldn't be with you. Eventually he told me the truth so I told him "Fuck Nonna...go get your family". I saw how miserable you were without him. So being the loving cousin I am, I helped him plan out everything. I purposely sent Elijah to try to convince you to do anything other than go in the house. I knew you'd say no and I knew you'd be a dickhead and wanna know what was going on. What Nonna did is probably unforgivable. I'll never understand that pain. But you're more than just my cousin...you're like a big sister to me Kay. I just want you to be happy. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the fact that I'd been helping King and giving him updates on you. BUT I never told him you were pregnant. I figured I'd leave that part as a little surprise." He said laughing
"He was definitely surprised."
"You know I don't like lying but I hoped you'd forgive me for not telling you I'd been helping him. I know business wise I shouldn't like the guy but I saw it Kay..."
"What exactly did you see?"
"How much being without you fucked him up. He looked like he hadn't slept in months, clearly had been drinking way too much, I had to tell that Carlo guy to force him to eat, and the killing...Dude was losing it. I finally had to tell him he had to get his shit together if he ever wanted you back. I'm glad you two are working it out. But if he breaks your heart again I'll fucking chop up that fuckers body and melt the rest of his limbs in acid."
"You know you come off as this nonviolent one of the family."
"Oh I am. You know that. Outside of work, I'll always be able to talk my way out of pretty much any situation but this is different. It's you. And no one will ever hurt you again as long as I have a say in it. If I find out you cried anything other than happy tears...he's fucking dead, Kay"
I knew he meant it. Even as kids Asher was always like my little bodyguard. And when he was angry...it was scary. It was like a Dr. Jylke and Mr. Hyde situation. I remember a kid took a toy from me and before I could even punch the kid Ash had already tackled him to the ground and snapped his arm...he was 5 at the time.
"I know, Ash. Thank you for always looking out me."
"You're welcome. But you don't have to thank me. I told you 6 months ago...I got you. No matter what happens with you and him, I'll always have your back, Kay. We're family. Apart of a fucked up family but that doesn't matter. Even if everyone else disapproves I'll always support your decisions."
A stray tear rolled down my cheek and he wiped it away.
"God...pregnancy has made you such a pussy!"
"Shut up!" I said crying and laughing. "I love you asshole"
"And I love ya more" he said pulling me into another hug.
"So I'm curious about something. How long had it been before the rest of the family knew King was Thor's father?"
"Only recently I believe. I'd known for a while and obviously Nonna knew from the start but Grandfather and Elijah...maybe a month. Grandfather was furious at first. But I was able to talk some sense into him. Nonna wanted to move you somewhere he'd never find you. Now that I'm thinking about it, it was probably to hide her secrets more than hide you."
"Ugh can we not talk about her right now. I'm having a good morning and I don't wanna ruin it."
"Sure. Look all of this I've said was just to say if you love King as much as I think you do...stop being a pussy and take him back. I know he has a lot to make up for but he clearly loves the fuck out of your crazy ass. And you and I both know you two are meant to be together. Despite how much my brother hates it he agrees."
"Really?"
"Yeah. After you left I explained everything to him. He still can't stand King for some reason but he understood. And he'd probably never admit it but he's happy for you guys. Your happiness is all we care about, Kay. No matter who you fall for you have every right to be happy. SO!" He said clapping his hands together. "Let's get you back to Miami. We have so much baby shit to get before that little demon of yours gets here"
"Did you just call her kid a demon?" I heard a voice say from across the room.
We look and see Elijah standing there smirking at us. I walk over to him and hug him.
"Not that I'm complaining but what's the hug for?"
"For being you. I know you hate King but I'm grateful you came anyways." I said and he held me tighter.
"Kay, you're my favorite cousin and if you two tell anyone what I'm about to say I'll absolutely deny it. King isn't so bad. Plus for some reason that I'll never understand...you love him. My pride will never beat out your happiness. So if that asshole is really who you wanna be with I'll support it. But again if you tell him that I'll de-"
"Yeah yeah you'll deny it."
"Ly- oh...uh sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt your family moment. I'll come back later."
"That won't be necessary...she's all yours, King"
They stood there staring at each other for a few seconds like they were having some unspoken conversation. Eventually King nodded and reached for my hand. Elijah kissed the top of my head before letting me go to him. The room was quiet but it was like so much had just been said...and I couldn't be any happier about it.
Now...let's just hope they can keep this same energy while we're on this flight...
