Ten years ago, Vadim Ivanov broke my heart.
Now he’s back. Bringing death and chaos with him.
VADIM
Hearing Kesera’s voice on the radio makes me want her. But wanting a woman won’t help me win a mafia war, especially not the mother of my child. I can’t expose them to the violence in my world. Love makes you vulnerable. It’s a luxury I can’t afford.
She needs to disappear, even if she takes my heart with her a second time.
KESERA

​
Even if he’s the man I love.
