Vendetta

Broken, Traumatized, Grieved, Pitiful, Stressed, Tired.
These were the words that perfectly described the twenty year old Inessa Mironova.
How does one's life change in the twinkle of an eye?
Well, Inez knows that phrase all too well.
Her father stole from their leader.
The ferocious twenty-three year old mafia leader, Aleks Piotr.
Wicked, cruel, gruesome, you name it.
But, a father's love was surely much more stronger than the wrath of a drug lord.
To get medicine for his daughter's chicken pox, Pavel stole from Aleks.

And because of that grave offense, his daughter was taken away from him, to become the concubine of the Piotr gang's leader.
Now, Inez was the shell of her old self.
Being exposed to so many pains and torments at such a young age really took a toll on her, and after Aleks beat her up one day, killing their unborn child in the process, she knew she had to leave, or she would be the next victim.
Luck was on her side, because her savior came to her almost immediately.
The twenty-seven year old Russian-Italian mafia leader, Dimitri Rurik.

Dimitri, well, he wasn't really a saint. He was just like Aleks, at least that's what he said.

Inez knew what she wanted, even if it meant marrying a man she didn't know, and going to a faraway land with him. As long as it meant that she would be away from Aleks.
Away from the pains, beatings and the abuse.
She knew that Dimitri was no better, yet she went with him.
At least, Dimitri wouldn't beat her up until she miscarried.
And, Inessa found out that there was more to life than being Aleks' playtoy.

From being a lowly concubine of the most feared gang in Russia, to being the wife of the strongest mafia gang leader in Italy.

Life indeed, is full of surprises.
New Beginnings, Friendship, Family, Self-Esteem, Positive Thinking, Strength, Anger, War And Vulnerability.
All of these awaited Aleks, Inessa and Dimitri, and each of them experienced it in their own way.

But most especially, love.
