Taken by the Bratva Boss: A Dark Secret Pregnancy, Forbidden Mafia Romance (The Devil Kings Book 1)

“I am the monster in your nightmares, Maya. But I’m the only one who can keep you safe.”

Stas carries so much unspoken weight in his silence. It makes those rare moments when he actually looks at Maya feel heavy and real.

“This child is the only thing that belongs to me in this world.”

Maya being trapped in that cold mansion felt like a physical weight. Her desperation to protect a baby no one knew about yet kept me on edge.

The way Stas tracks Maya's every move is terrifying but also strange. It shows how obsession can be mistaken for a twisted kind of devotion.

“Rule number one: Never lie to me.”

Watching Maya try to navigate the Bratva rules while hiding her pregnancy was exhausting. She had to be so smart just to survive the dinner parties.
