They call me a businessman. And that suits me fine. Let them believe I built my empire with contracts and strategy. Not blood, blackmail, and the resentment of a father who thought I had no place in his world. Then Wren arrives. Shy. Awkward. Unremarkable on paper. The kind of intern meant to disappear into the background. Until he throws himself in front of a blade meant for me. Now he’s always at my side. Craving the smallest scrap of praise like it’s air. And I give it to him. Not because he’s earned it. But because I like who he becomes when he’s praised. Bolder, braver, a little more mine each day. I tell myself I can keep him close without letting him in. But someone’s after me. And if Wren keeps looking too closely, he won’t just see the truth. He’ll get pulled into it. I should push him away. Protect him from the world I was born into. But I won’t. I can't. Because I’ve finally found something worth losing everything for. And I’m not letting him go. Bratva's Intern is Part 1 of a 2 Part series. Part 1 ends on s cliffhanger. Part 2 to be released shortly after.
