Viktor: Ava's too pure for the likes of me but it's too late for her to run. The moment Ava entered my radar, she became my prey. I didn't become the Pakhan of the Kotov Bratva by playing nice. I see something I like, I take it for myself. When I learn she's carrying something precious, I've no choice but to make Ava my bride.

Ava: I never imagined one wild night with a random stranger would lead to my downfall. Viktor's possessive, ruthless, and imposing. Desperation pushed me to work for him. That was before I knew who he truly was. Monster. Bratva boss. Father to my unborn baby. My future husband. He'll ruin me before long, but it is so bad being his?
