"He- he is D-Dimitri's heir."

"Dimitri had an heir? Why didn't anyone know of this?"

"He has kept it a secret. He made Vladimir move somewhere else in Russia and made sure no one knew who he was or that he was the heir."

I look back at Ace, but he just looks confused and is furrowing his eyebrows while staring at Rasputin.

"What does Vladimir want?" I ask, turning my head back at Rasputin.

"He wants revenge. He wants to kill all of you," Rasputin says while trying to not make any eye contact with me. "You deserve it though. You killed them. All of them."

I stab Rasputin's shoulder making him scream out in pain. "I don't care what we deserve or did. Where is Vladimir?"

"Russia, you cunt," Rasputin spits.

Ace comes up from behind me and he punches Rasputin in the face and holds his face so that Rasputin is looking directly at Ace.

"Call my wife a cunt again and I will punch you until you can't breathe anymore. Capito?" Since Rasputin doesn't answer Ace punches him again. "Do you fucking understand?!" Ace yells in his face.

"Fuck you! You are all going to die anyway!"he yells as tears run down his face.

Ace shakes his head lightly before leaving the cage.

"You better pray," I state and walk closer to him before stabbing his eye. "He is going to send you straight to hell," I say as he whimpers in pain, cussing me out.

Ace comes back a few seconds later and I see him with a flame gun in his hand and a bottle of alcohol.

Ace pours the alcohol all over Rasputin's body as Rasputin yells and cusses us out over and over again. Ace smashes the glass bottle on his head making it break. Then Ace positions the flame gun at Rasputin's body before turning it on and making his whole body light up.

"Saluta satana da parte mia."

We watch Rasputin's body burn in the flames as he screams for mercy and begs to be put out of his misery

Ace has his men come and clean up the body so that he can send it to Russia as Leo, Emma, and I follow him out of the downstairs area.

Once we are back in his office, we all sit down. Ace in his seat, Emma and Leo in the seats in front of his desk, and then me behind him trying to think of a plan.

"What are we going to do? We have no clue what Vladimir is like," Leo says.

"He's right," I say, agreeing with Leo.

Ace then looks up from his desk. "I have an idea, but they won't like it," he states, making me furrow my eyebrows.

"What? Who?" I say looking down at Ace.

"The kids. They won't like it but it's the only thing I can think of right now."

"What is it?"

Ace looks up at me and sighs.

Eight

I walk inside the kitchen and I see Killian already sitting down on one of the stools that are pushed into the island.

"Thanks for not telling."

I look at Killian, shocked.
