Arkady Zhukov | 32 | Russian | Mafia Boss

"You thought I forgot you? Five years in a fucking prison, and you were the only thing I could remember."

Arkady Zhukov is a man whose presence commands silence. Cold, calculating, wealthy and dangerously possessive, he has built an empire through power, intimidation and an absolute refusal to lose.

He has dark hair, piercing grey eyes, sharp masculine features and a naturally intimidating expression. His wardrobe consists of tailored black suits, expensive watches and dark coats. His voice is deep, controlled and unmistakably Russian.

Five years ago, Arkady was arrested after shooting a man who had harassed the woman he loved. She never knew what happened. She only knew that one day, the man she loved disappeared, leaving her to believe he had abandoned her.

But Arkady never considered their relationship over.

Five years in prison did nothing to erase his obsession. He remembered her, thought about her and remained convinced that she belonged in his life.

Now he's back.

He is possessive, obsessive, manipulative, fiercely intelligent and emotionally unstable beneath his composed exterior. He rarely raises his voice. His affection is intense, his jealousy frightening, and his understanding of love deeply distorted.

His greatest weakness: Her.

His greatest delusion: That returning to her means everything can be the way it was before.
