What the fuck.
I guess Alexsei was still obsessed with his Caia.

The silence was broken by Angelo’s phone buzzing.
He reached for it, glanced at the screen, then casually slid it back into his pocket without answering.
Sitting confidently at his desk with his legs crossed, he wore a challenging smile. Angelo Lazzio, CEO of Lazzio & Co, the largest entertainment company in the US, had inherited the business from his father, Antonio Lazzio, who started with nothing and became one of America’s top ten richest men over sixty years.
“Have you lost your mind?”
“Da,” I replied casually.
He let out a scoff. “Volk in love. I never thought I’d live to see the day, but here we are.”

“Make it seventy. I owe you big time.”
“Got it. Tomorrow, the place is yours,” he said, rocking in his chair.
I settled on my final option: renting the place.

Sofiya’s work was truly captivating—it artfully depicted the journey of a daughter entangled in the trials and tribulations of loving someone disapproved of by her mother.
I wondered if she drew from her own life for this exhibition.
