Whiskey Poison

The hottest man I’ve ever seen is now my new boss— and I’m stuck in a house with him… Until one of us cracks. I’ve got debt—yeah, I know, so does everyone else on Planet Earth. But the bills I’m paying keep my dad and my grandma alive. So it’s pretty messed-up for Timofey Viktorov to use them as a threat to keep me under control. Not that he cares. As a billionaire CEO, he takes no prisoners in the boardroom. And as the don of the Viktorov Bratva, he takes no prisoners in real life, either. Which is why he has no qualms about extorting me into taking his deal. Live in my mansion… Care for my baby… Or suffer the consequences. But he’s not the only one with an agenda. Timofey has skeletons in his closet—and I’m determined to dig them out. He’s just as determined to keep me far away from the secrets of his past. The longer I’m in his house, the tenser things get. Every time we brush past each other in the hallway, something sparks. Every time we cross paths in the night, the ice grows thinner. Sooner or later, it’s going to crack.

CHAPTER 69

TIMOFEY

"So that's your father." My voice sounds calm enough, but rage has been simmering under the surface since the moment we walked through that door.

I already hated Piper's dad based on what she's told me. Then to see the way he looked at her, like he was a snake and a fresh mouse had just been dropped in his cage… I wanted to strangle him with his own IV cord.

"Yeah, that's him." Piper tries to smile, but it's thin. Almost as thin as her father's sweat-soaked hospital gown. "Charming, isn't he?"

"No," I correct. "He's fucking scum."

I expect her to nod in agreement. Instead, she spins towards me, jaw set. "Your father employs a hitman. A hitman who tried to kill you! I don't think you should be the authority on what makes a good father."

I step back, taking in all of her at once. Her tense shoulders and narrowed eyes.

Even though I rushed Benjamin through town like a Formula fucking 1 driver, I'll never be a good enough father in Piper's eyes.
