Chapter 140

• [DIMITRI]
• By the time I’m done with my work, it’s already morning. I look at the time and groan, stretching my arms over my head. Last night, after Nadia visited me in my office, I had every intention of finishing my work as soon as possible and heading back to the bedroom so I could join her in bed and sleep while holding her close to my chest. But the endless calls from the dealers kept me busy all night. Now that I’m finally done with all the paperwork and handing out orders for tonight’s shipments, I feel like I’ll be dead as soon as I hit the bed.
• Shit. I didn’t even know Ivan did so much work. I thought he was all about giving orders and strategizing our next course of action. But I underestimated the kind of role he played in keeping this organization together. Not only that, he took time for almost everything. He took care of his men as if they were his own brothers and never gave them a chance to complain.
