Intro

Aleksandr Romanov

Aleksandr had spent too many years building an empire to believe in coincidence.

People didn’t simply wander into private meetings hidden behind abandoned warehouses.

Yet somehow, one had.

The young man sat across the room now, hands resting uneasily in his lap, his eyes flicking between Aleksandr and Viktor before settling on the floor.

He couldn’t have been older than twenty-two.

He looked more frightened than defiant.

The guards had searched him twice.

No weapon.

No wire.

No phone.

Nothing to suggest he’d come looking for them.

Viktor leaned against the edge of the desk, arms folded.

“So,” he said evenly, “what exactly were you doing there?”

“I…” The young man swallowed. “I took the wrong alley.”

Silence settled over the room.

Aleksandr studied him for another moment.

The explanation was entirely plausible.

That was the problem.

If the stranger truly was innocent, letting him leave meant trusting he’d never speak about what he’d seen.

Trust wasn’t something Aleksandr dealt in.
