title, Vasily’s Lilly.
    “Well, it’s very nice to meet you. I’m just so sorry that it had to be under these circumstances.” He motioned back at the sofa. “Please sit back down. Try to relax. I’m sure that you must be exhausted both mentally and physically.”
    Dmitry’s demeanor made the tension ease a bit. She was expecting a monster, but the man standing before her was hardly that. “I just appreciate everything. I can’t say it enough,” she said, sitting back down.
    “Well, as soon as Vasily heard, he headed straight toward you,” Dmitry said, walking over to the front of his desk. He leaned against it and crossed his arms across his chest. “But I was also told of a little surprise once he got there.” He looked over at Vasily, who had made his way closer to Lilly during the introductions.
    “Yes,” Lilly said, looking over at Vasily. “My son.” She instantly corrected herself. Force of habit. Shaking her head, she tried it again. “Our son.”
    Dmitry looked in between the both of them. “Well, which is it?”
    Vasily was behind the sofa, standing directly above Lilly. Putting a hand on her shoulder, he spoke up. “He’s mine. I can vouch for her. I’ve seen him. He’s my boy.”
    “No disrespect to you, Lilly, but are we sure about this?” Dmitry asked carefully.
    “Certain,” Lilly answered.
    Behind her without words, Vasily nodded.
    The confirmation was just what he wanted to hear. Dmitry nodded. “Well, we’ve all been there. Let me be the first to congratulate you, Vasily.” Clasping his hands together, he yawned and shook his head, fighting sleep after a sex session from hell with his wife. “So, Lilly, you’ll be staying with us for a while, at least until we get this business with Leo Rasputin under control. As I understand it, we are not really sure if he is looking for you or not. So, we’ve got some feelers out there to get an idea of what he’s looking for. If it’s not you, then well, you can go on with your life. If it is you, then that’s why we are here.”
    She felt herself bristle at the thought. “I hope that we’re all just over reacting.”
    Dmitry smiled at her. “But you don’t think that we are, do you?”
    She nodded no.
    “Why do you think that?” Dmitry asked.
    “Because I know Leo,” she said voice shaky. “He wants revenge for me testifying against him. I put him in jail.”
    “And you did that why?” Dmitry probed further. He needed to see where the woman’s head was to make sure that they were making the right decision.
    Lilly swallowed hard. “I had to get back at him for what he’d done to Vasily. He shot him, almost killed him, just for trying to protect me. I had to get him back for all the beatings I took. I had to get him back for all the times he had caused me pure and utter humiliation.”
    Dmitry hated the idea of a man beating on a woman. He looked at her now, obviously fighting for what little life she had been able to make for herself and felt sorry for her. “Well, the Medlov Men are not saints. I don’t want to give you that appearance. It would be a false one. But we don’t beat women. However, I have to be honest with you and tell you that that is not the reason that you are here.”
    Lilly looked up confused. Why was she here then?
    Dmitry looked up at Vasily. “If I housed every beaten, bitter ex-wife or ex-girlfriend of one of my men, then I’d have a house full and a lot of bad relationships with families across the world. You are here, because Vasily is family and you are the mother of his child.” He wanted to make himself perfectly clear. “That said I expect you to be completely honest with me.”
    “I have been,” she answered sincerely.
    “Does Leo Rasputin have any other reason to look for you?” Dmitry asked. “Is this search driven by more than just revenge? I have to be honest; it sounds like it’s about money.” He looked up at Vasily.
    “It could only be about revenge,” Lilly
