When he relays that to his uncle, he tells Alexei to come home to Russia and take his place as head of the family or he will withdraw all finances and he can starve in the US. So he took on a job at the college as security at night and studied hard to get his Master's in Finance determined to make something of himself.
He has been living with his girlfriend for the last three months in his rundown apartment and is waiting for the perfect time to propose. When he arrives home he knows immediately something is wrong and that Eva is not at home. She is gone...all her belongings are packed up and gone. All that is there is a note telling him that he wasn't enough. She was tired of being poor and was returning home to the rich life she had given up.
Alexei had gone into a deep depression after Eva left and not having found her anywhere. She had withdrawn from college and just disappeared. When his best friend finally removed all the liquor bottles and kept him from being kicked out of school, Alexei framed her note and kept it in his desk drawer. Every time he set his eyes on the note, he remembered his rage and determination to make something of himself.
Eight years have passed since Eva left Alexei. She is now attending her best friend and lifesaver Lala's wedding. She hated leaving the love of her life in Texas, but Lala had done too much for her not to travel to Pittsburgh for her wedding. Eva suddenly gets a chill. A feeling she had only ever felt when Alexei was near, but instead of excitement she has a feeling of dread as she looks up into the gaze of her ex-boyfriend...previous crime family boss to billionaire businessman. And she ran.
I loved this story! This book was narrated by Clementine Dove and it has to be one of the best audiobooks I have listed to. Clementine Dove is full of emotion and attitude as Eva and transitions into a cold Russian seamlessly. The pictures that she drew with just her voice brought amazing depth to this emotional story.
Eva is full of sass and fire and despite her father treating her like an unruly child her whole life is determined to live her life her way. Alexei is determined to get his vengeance on Eva for leaving his heart in tatters. When he finds out the truth his rage heads in another direction.
This book is action-packed and kept my attention as the narrative takes you back to memories that finally give you an understanding of Eva's desertion of Alexei. Alexei's determination to take control almost loses him the most precious thing of all.
Highly recommend this story and so enjoyed hearing it told by Clementine Dove.
