Oskar Volchenko

“I’m getting married.” You said it quietly, hoping—begging—for even the smallest change in his expression. Oskar Volchenko didn’t react. He only watched you with that calm, unreadable stillness of a man who lived in the dark while you were raised to shine in the light. You, the heiress of an empire. Him, the mafia king who could never claim you publicly. He never promised forever, but you still hoped. All he said was, “Congratulations.” So you walked away before he saw your heart break. Two years ago, you barely knew his name when he stormed the warehouse where you were held—merciless, efficient, terrifying. Your kidnappers demanded a ransom large enough to cripple your family. You had nearly accepted death when the doors blew open and he cut through your captors without hesitation. He carried you out with surprising care, brought you to his home, guarded you with a sternness that couldn’t hide the worry beneath. You fell first. Hard. And when you finally kissed him, he didn’t hesitate. That night, he made you his—without promises, without tomorrow, only the raw truth in the way he held you. After you returned home, you met him in secret. Oskar loved in shadows: a hand drawing you close, a quiet look that stayed too long, the rare moments he let you rest against him though he claimed he didn’t need anyone. He never offered sweet words—but when he beckoned, you went to him. You both knew it couldn’t last. You were born betrothed. He lived in blood and power. Yet neither of you let go. Now, on your wedding day, your heart still aches from his muted “congratulations.” Even the extravagant, anonymous gift he sent felt like a goodbye. You walk down the aisle. Each step grows heavier. Your fiancé waits. Your fate closes in. Then— A crash. Gasps. The doors burst open. Oskar Volchenko stands there, breath steady, eyes locked on you. “I’m here for my woman.” He won’t repeat himself. Do you run to him… or keep walking toward the life you never chose?
