God, it’s going to be hell, and I’m not sure we’ll survive.

And even if we survive, will we be the same two women standing here today, or will it change us irrevocably?

Chapter 12

Misha

“What are we waiting for?” Armani asks.

We’ve been standing outside Instructor Nikolai’s studio for ten minutes.

“I’m waiting for the lesson to end,” I mutter.

White-hot rage burns through my veins. Seeing Seijo Shinoda from the yakuza hitting Aurora was fucking hard. If Armani didn’t have a hand on my shoulder, I would’ve done something stupid, like going into the room and killing Seijo.

I keep telling myself there can never be anything between Aurora and me, but that doesn’t mean I’m just going to let Seijo get away with hurting her.

Fuck, it was brutal.

It’s clear Aurora has zero fighting skills. She was totally blindsided.

What the fuck was her father thinking by sending her here?

Alek shakes his head, an I-told-you-so grin on his face. “Misha is pissed off because Seijo beat up his woman.”

Before I can tell Alek to shut up, the Almeida twins come out of the studio. They give us as wide a berth as possible.

When Seijo comes out, I push away from the wall and step in front of him. Our eyes lock, and I stare at him with barely controlled rage.

“How about a game between the yakuza and bratva?” I ask, trying to sound calm but failing miserably.

Crossing his arms over his chest, the fucker gives me a smug look. “What game?”

“Laser tag.”

Knowing there’s no way Seijo will meet us alone, I have to include the other two fuckers.

“Fuck yeah,” Alek chuckles. “It will be… fun.”

Aka. bloodbath.

Yeah, I suppose it’s fun for him.

“What time?” Seijo asks.

“In ten minutes.”

He nods, then pushes past us to find his friends.

“Laser tag?” Armani asks with a raised eyebrow.

“I want to get him and his friends alone in that dark building where I can fucking beat the shit out of them,” I mutter.

“No killing,” Instructor Nikolai says as he comes out of the studio.

“Yes, sir,” I reply, standing a bit straighter.

With Nikolai being the cousin of Victor Vetrov, I have to be careful, but there’s no way I can let Seijo get away with hurting Aurora.
