Dinastiya Tested // 3rd Book of the Takaryev Trilogy

Chapter 71

Ivan had left work and was sitting at home, waiting for Dimitri to show up. 

Then he got a text from him. Meet me at the Red Square at the Kremlin. It's important. 

Ivan furrowed his brow, but texted Dimitri back all the same. On my way.

Ivan met Dimitri at the Red Square after making his way through Kremlin security. He parked his car and got out. 

"What's going on?" Ivan asked.

Dimitri nodded over at his own car, and the passenger door opened. Ravil Takaryev, the president himself, stepped out in something short of a blaze of glory. 

Ivan gaped. "Wh-what the hell?" 

"Yeah, that's the same thing I thought," Dimitri answered.

"He's...he's supposed to be," Ivan started, squirming under Ravil's dark viridian gaze, "He's supposed to be dead!"

"Well, he's not." Dimitri replied. "Come on, let's go find his husband."
