CHOSEN BY A SINNER (Completed)

...

Uncle Alexei's features tighten with anger as he pushes to his feet, his eyes locking on me. "And you? What do you remember?"

Everything

"Not much," I lie. He keeps staring at me, and where a lesser man would break, I square my shoulders, keeping a cool head.

Finally, his eyes leave me, only to settle on Viktor. "Where the fuck were you when this happened?"

"Asleep at the hotel," Viktor answers while trying not to yawn. "I'll leave you to deal with this. I have business to take care of." He glances at me. "Call me if you survive today."

I almost let out a chuckle but swallow it back as Uncle

Alexei snaps, "You fucking got married?"

"Calm down." Aunt Bella tries to keep him from losing his shit. "Yelling won't fix anything."

"I'm not yelling," he mutters as he sits down again, then he looks at my father. "Lucian, anything you want to say?"

Dad locks eyes with his friend. "Bella is right, it doesn't help if we get upset. I think this is a good thing for both families."

Uncle Alexei nods but then mutters, "Motherfucking married." Locking eyes on Mariya, he snaps, "How do you feel about this?"

She takes a seat near her father, shaking her head. "A quick annulment would be best, right? Luca was planning to marry someone else, and we barely know each other."
