Chapter 64

• Originally, we had been waiting for Carlo to reach out and speak with Juri over Ria. He expected it to be within two weeks and sure enough, Juri texted me saying that Carlo reached out. They settled on a time and Juri requested for my presence. The request came in as we were headed home from the office.
• I wasn’t going to have Ria anywhere near the meeting, nor did I want her in any places they knew she would be. Just in case. So we split up once we reached the penthouse. Aleksei and a few of the guys took Ria over to a hotel we owned on the far side of the city. Though, she did ask if she could join me or help since it was bratva related. I probably should have told her that it was a meeting with Carlo but I didn’t. She didn’t need to know that bastard was trying to come for her because I wouldn’t let it happen.
• Once I confirmed that Ria was on her way and headed the exact opposite direction from us, I only took Lec and Boris with me. Mostly because if I made a mess, Juri wouldn’t help me clean it up. I’d need to do it myself and having two extra hands helped.
