“It does matter,” Yuri insisted. “They are family too.”
“I know.” Roman sighed. “They want so much and it’s slow in coming.”
“But they are coming around aren’t they?”
Roman nodded. “They are but there is still tension. Timor doesn’t understand the way Stevie and Benny grew up. He knows there is evil in the world and the ones shuffled to the side who suffer in the streets but he’s never been as close to it as he is with them.”
Yuri let out a sigh. “Most decent men have never seen this kind of evil where adults are predators on children. Even Bratva men don’t see this. They see dealing with men one on one but this goes beyond what they deal with. And that is harder for some men than others but now that everything is finally over and the bad guys are in jail, things should settle down.” Yuri shrugged. “It’s been a long time coming but the nightmare they lived is over and now the healing can begin.”
“That’s true enough.” Roman still couldn’t control his smiling. “Silas called me last week. He said he was wondering how Benny and Stevie were doing. I told him he should stop by and see them. Now he’ll get to meet her children as well when he shows up.”
“I think that might go a long way to breaching the bridge between everyone concerned with that mess.” Yuri nodded.
“I hope so. Those men are always welcome in my home. They kept her safe when she needed them.”
“And now that’s your job.” Yuri slapped him on the back.
“One I will never let go of,” Roman vowed as he looked over at his family. His heart softening even more that it had before. The four people who made his life worth living. FOUR! He still couldn’t believe Stevie, his little woman of a wife had two babies.
Now it was about making them happy and protecting them with his life if need be. No one ever better hurt them again or they would end up like that monster Jack. He’d didn’t allow himself to think too much about that time. Roman knew he could be harsh when it came to someone hurting those he loved and he asked for no pardon for being this way.
Life was kind to him now after all these years of hard struggle and fighting to survive.
He couldn’t live without them in his life, he didn’t even want to try.
Author of the Bestselling AMAZON ALL STAR AWARD WINNING Series: Spawn & Spitfire and the Bratva Blood Brothers.
I live in a small town (population495) in Wisconsin. From my deck, I can see the Mississippi River on one side and the bluffs, where eagles live and nest on the other side. I live with my husband Dave and dog Buddy. My two children are grown and I have two grandchildren. I love to watch people and that has helped me with my writing. I often use people I watch as characters in my books and I always try to give my characters some of my own values and habits.
I love to create characters and put them in a troubling situation then sit back and let them do all the work. My characters surprise even me at times. At some point in the book, they take on a life of their own and the twists and turns they create becomes the story. Of all the stories, I could write I found I like mystery-suspense-thrillers the best. I like to keep my readers guessing until the very end of the book.
