“Do you think you can do this on your own?”Nikolai asked.
“Nothing happened.”
“You’re lucky nothing happened.”Makar glared at him.“If he had killed you, then what?”
“He wasn’t going to kill me,” Alexey said.“He wanted to make a deal.”
“We all know what kind of deal he wants to make, and it’s not the good kind.”Nikolai shook his head.“I didn’t think you were this much of a fucking idiot.”
“Easy,” he said.He was not going to allow his friends to call him names.
“You could have died.He could have killed you.”
“He wants Jane,” Alexey said.
“We all know he wants Jane.She had the balls to do what no one else ever has.She fucking killed him, and it was fucking beautiful,” Makar said.
Alexey laughed.His friends adored Jane.There was no way they were going to let her go.
“He will always try and get Jane,” Nikolai said.“It doesn’t matter what happens.”
Alexey looked between his friends.“I could marry her.”
Everyone looked at him, and Alexey waited for them to weigh in on his decision.
“Don’t you think that is a little extreme?”Makar asked.
“No.if I marry Jane, that makes her Bratva property.We all know Vincent has to go through the proper protocols with his little fucking clan.They must agree on everything, and right now, no one would agree to put a hit out on a Bratva bride.”It also meant he could marry Jane, which is exactly what he wanted.
“Dude, marriage is, like, real,” Makar said.“It’s not a game.”
“He’s not playing a game,” Igor said.“He’s not making this suggestion to help Jane.He’s making it because he wants to marry her, don’t you?”
Alexey looked between his friends, and at first, he didn’t say a word, then he nodded.“Yes, I want to marry Jane.”
“Marriage is permanent,” Nikolai said.
“Well, is it really?He could get divorced,” Makar said.
“No, if he marries Jane, he sticks with her.We all know this,” Nikolai said.“I guess what we need to know is what do you want to do?”
“I want to marry Jane,” Alexey said.“She’s mine.I’m not giving her back.Without even knowing me, she killed for me, and you can’t buy that kind of loyalty.No one can.”
Jane was one of a kind.He wanted to make memories with her.
“Then it’s agreed.You marry Jane, and when that happens, we take care of Morello once and for all,” Nikolai said.
