“Okay, I take it back.” She glances at me. “He is the insufferable one.”
“What did I do?”
“Did you need something, Dimitri?”
“I needed a word.” He gives me a knowing look. The one that says this information is for us eldest brothers only.
While Mikhail and Danil play a crucial role in our family business, they’re still young and some things are better kept from their knowledge.
“Bianca, why don’t you go and get Mikhail to sort you out with a new phone. I’m sure he has a few new ones on hand in his room.”
She rolls her eyes at me but for once, doesn’t fight my order. She stalks out of the room, and I can’t help but admire her ass in those denim shorts as her hips sway with each step.
Dimitri clears his throat, snapping me out of my lust-induced trance.
He lifts an eyebrow, chickling. “Somebody has clearly crossed a line.”
“This is the business you needed to talk about?”
Dimitri smirks, folding his arms across his broad chest. “No, this is me giving my big brother shit.”
“There’s no reason to give me shit. I’m not crossing any lines.”
“The way you’re looking at her ass tells me otherwise.”
“I can’t admire her?”
“You can… But I’m guessing you’ve also fucked her?” Dimitri’s eyes dance with amusement, and I scowl at my brother.
“Marrying Bianca was something I had to do to gain information on Gilanto. Our situation is purely business, nothing more.” My chest tightens at the lie.
Dimitri simply shrugs.
“That’s not how it looks to me, but if you want to live in denial, then it’s your problem. We have bigger things to worry about.”
“I take it you’ve got more on that email?”
Dimitri nods, his face grave.
“Spit it out, then.”
“It was sent by some guy named Matteo Ricci.”
“Ricci?” I run my hands through my hair, trying to place where I’ve heard that name.
My brother leans against the wall. “Does the name Igor Ivanov ring a bell?”
Fuck.
“That Pahkan back in Russia?”
“Yeah. The one who was recently exiled and went underground. No one has seen or heard from him since. Turns out, this Ricci guy used to work for him.”
“Shit.”
“I’ve got Feliks trying to track him down, but I thought I should give you a heads up. For whatever reason, it’s likely this guy has some intel on what went down with our parents.”
“Get Micah on it too. I don’t want to waste any time.”
