His Runaway Queen (Effie and Leo) novel Chapter 35

Chapter 19-3

“That explains a lot and explains why we never found you before now. And you need to explain everything to us. That way, we can deal with your mother and her husband. Then you won’t have to keep hiding from them both. You have us to protect you now, and we will. You’re my family, Effie. You’re the love of my life, even if you don’t believe me. You will soon enough, and you’ll see that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. And I want to have more kids with you. You are the only woman that I ever want to be with. You

and our son are my life, and I will protect you to the ends of the earth. Not only do you have me and all of

my–no, sorry, our family, the Russian Mafia, protecting you. But my sister is engaged to two guys from the

local MC and two guys from the Italian Mafia, and they will protect you as well. Even though the MC already has been, from the sounds of it. We’re almost at the house. After dinner, you can sit and tell Dad

and me everything that you know and why you ran. We’ll protect you, baby, I promise,” he said.

“You’re not alone anymore, Effie girl. We’ve all got your back, always have. I beat the hell out of Leandro when I heard that you left and why. Before I found out what that succubus was trying to pull. He’s loved

you since the first time that he laid eyes on you, and he’s not touched another woman since then, I promise. I’m up his ass twenty four seven so I know what he’s always doing. Hell, I even live with him. And

even though he’s my best friend and boss, I wouldn’t lie for him to you. I will always tell you the truth,”

Oliver told me.

Leandro gave him a fake mean look while I laughed at them. Oliver was always all for me being with

Leandro. He hated the girl that was always trying to get with him and was always having her sent away.

But to me, he always protected and looked out for. He was like a big brother to me, and I’ve missed him as

well.

We continued to talk, and it wasn’t much later that we were pulling up to a huge gate. When the guard

opened it, we drove through and down a short drive. When we pulled around the circular driveway, I’m sure

that my jaw was hanging open. I thought that their house back in Russia was huge. But this mansion was

freaking enormous.

The front had a massive porch with a double door as the front door. I could see that the upper floors also

had balconies in each room. The front porch had rocking chairs on one side of the door and a sitting area

on the other. It was a light beige color, and the shutters were all white. Seeing how grand the outside of it

looked, I was both nervous and excited to see the inside of it.
