“(Not) a Real Marriage. Under His Protection” — a novel by Lana Piratova from the cycle “A Real Family.” The story is written in the genres of contemporary romance, short romance, and fast-paced romantic suspense.
– I gave Viktor my word: if anything happens to him, I’ll take care of his daughter. As if I’d sensed it—” the father exhales heavily again and shakes his head. “And a month ago I reminded him of that… Viktor felt… felt…”
– Fine, – I agree, trying to speak calmly so as not to raise Dad’s blood pressure. – Let it be so. But what do they need from me? Why am I here in the first place? Should I hire security for her?
The father doesn’t answer right away. He looks at me for a long time, as if he’s about to say something that can’t be prepared for with words.
– You will marry her, Dmitry, – he says evenly and quietly, as if stating something obvious. – You will. And that will be the most reliable protection for Viktor’s daughter.
