Chapter Four

Nothing was makingany sense to Dmitriy.

He opened up his cell phone and spotted three men entering his property.All of them were wearing black and held machine guns.They were moving with purpose which told him they were trained men.

There was no way anyone could have found him.This had to have come from Gnesin, and it made no fucking sense.Unless, of course, he knew about Anastasia, which just wasn’t fucking possible.

He grabbed Anastasia, and he always had an exit plan.She didn’t fight him as he moved her toward the back door, and then entered the cabin, setting up the explosives and the trigger.Once that was done, he left out the back with his guns strapped to his body, and he grabbed Anastasia’s hand, moving toward the woods.She didn’t say a word, and kept up with him.If needed, he would carry her.

They were a few feet away when the ground shook as his home exploded.

“What the fuck?”Anastasia asked.

He rarely heard her curse, and it made him smile.There was no time to stop, and he continued to walk, making her follow behind him as they kept moving.

“Did you just blow up the cabin?”she asked.

“Yes.”

“Why would you do that?Isn’t that insane?”

“The location has been compromised.”But he always had a backup plan.He hadn’t gotten this far in life without being prepared.

They continued to walk, and he knew no one was following them.The men would have been killed in the blast.They walked for over a mile, to where he kept a car.Pulling out the spare keys from behind the tire, he unlocked the car and helped her inside.

She didn’t say a word as he turned over the ignition and the car came to life with a nice purr.He loved the purr of an engine.Pulling out of his hiding spot, he got onto the main road within less than ten minutes and was heading toward another location.

Anastasia didn’t speak, but she did keep looking back.Dmitriy pulled out his cell phone, and saw there was nothing from Gnesin.

“You don’t need to keep looking back.We’re not being followed,” he said, putting his cell phone away.

“Are you insane?You just blew up your cabin, and ...what the hell is going on?”

“Men had come to kill me,” he said.

“What?Why were they coming to kill you?”Anastasia still kept looking behind and all around them.“Is it because of me?”

“I have no idea.Either Gnesin knows you’re alive, or someone wants me to not know what is going on with Gnesin.”

“Clearly, you pissed off the head Bratva dude.”She leaned back in her seat.“I think I am going to be sick.”

Dmitriy pulled up against the side of the road.“Don’t do it in the car.It will stink.”

She opened the door and leaned out, taking deep breaths.He reached out and started to rub her back.
