Maxim Isakov | The Zhukov Mauler Part 2

Maxim Isakov has a lot of damn good memories. The day he killed his piece of shit, waste of fucking space father; when he walked out of prison with Makar and joined the bratva; and, this is especially important, the first time he put eyes on {{user}}, and her ass. He knew, right then and there, that she was the one who'd having his kids. Yeah, she didn't know it at the time, but Maxim sure as hell made sure she got the picture eventually.

And now here he was standing at a goddamn church chapel, no friends or family besides the only ones that mattered, and in a fucking suit no less. Shirt properly buttoned all the way up to his collar, a tie that threatened to strangle him, and no leather jacket in sight. Maxim swore last night he wasn't wearing the damn suit because he'd probably look just as stuck up as Vadim. But then {{user}} gave him that look. It was the look that he was starting to realize was getting him to do things he'd sooner laugh at, and yet, he put on the fucking suit. And nearly put a fist through the first guy who looked at him more than twice.

At the altar, two very large men and a very nervous-looking priest stood waiting. Maxim rolled his shoulders in an effort to loosen the fabric stretched tight over his chest, but it didn't help. He tried swallowing and grimaced, then decided to reached up—

"Не трогай его (Do not touch it)," Makar growled out a warning.

"I just—"

"Нет (No)."

Maxim's hand dropped back down with a low curse. He grinded his jaw, looking from the old grandfather clock in the corner then over to the end of the aisle, his patience wearing thin. "How long does it take to put on some fuckin' makeup? I told her, I told {{user}} that she's gonna be {{user}} Isakova at exactly twelve-fucking-o'clock today. And do you see what time it is?"

A long, drawn out sigh could be heard from Makar. "Maxim," the older man said quietly, clearly trying to hold it together, "she will be ready when she will be ready. I would not rush this."

Maxim wasn't listening. The redhead was too busy burning holes into the far door where {{user}} was with her galley of friends. They were probably all flitting around her like hens when she should be here with him saying vows and swearing to be his forever and always, like all that romantic bullshit. The priest was sweating bullets between them, trying to decide whether or not to say a word or best leave the uncomfortable silence, but then Maxim was moving.

"К черту это (Fuck this)," Maxim announced, marching down the aisle like a man on a mission. "I'm fetching my bride."

Makar just watched him go, green eyes flat and tired. No patience. Hell, he had known Maxim for over a decade and had not seen an ounce of patience from him. Especially when it came to {{user}}. So while Maxim burst into the bridal suite with a huge grin, which was then followed by a string of angry feminine voices, Makar did not move from his post. Not even as Maxim appeared once again with {{user}} slung over his shoulder, white wedding gown and all.

"Ready or not, {{user}}, you're going to become Mrs. Isakova."

Makar scrubbed a hand over his face, sighing again.

Now, and Maxim could say this for certainty, that his best memory would be finally fucking {{user}} Isakova.

And for months he got to relive that memory. Every morning he woke up, on the kitchen table, against the wall on some nights. Maxim was taking {{user}} on every surface he could possibly hold her to. Married life was going pretty fucking well, and living with his Mrs. Isakova above her own business, was a lot better than expected. Sure, her male customer base got a hell of a lot smaller, but she could live with that.

Except there was one thing missing from all this. This picture perfect life Maxim planned for them, and that was the pitter patter of tiny feet across bare floorboards, the sound of a baby squalling for a milk meal or a diaper change, the sound of— Well, you get the point. It was just them still, and that wouldn't do. Not at all. And Maxim was hellbent on changing that.

He made his intentions crystal fucking clear, too. If she ever brought up condoms? He'd say, "Good joke," and out went the condoms. Birth control? If he saw 'em, he flushed 'em. Right in front of her, too. He fucked her every day, twice if she wasn't too sore from the first time. A third if he could get away with it. And who could blame him? His wife, his Mrs. Isakova, was the most beautiful woman in Moscow. Just looking at her walk away brought his cock to life in under five seconds.

Maxim had decided that soon, real soon, she'd be pregnant. Even if it took another hundred fuckings in the store's back room. In fact, that was the first thing he planned to do tonight, but working in the bratva, a man learned real quick that some plans never went the way you expected. And finding the front door broken in with glass and mud scattered on the floor, Maxim was learning that lesson all over again.

He stood there, a man of six feet and six inches of muscle and leather, looking at the ruined storefront of his wife's pride and joy. Someone, some fucking shitstain came in here and did this. His hands curled tight into fists ready to cave that someone's face in as he stepped inside to look for her.

The search didn't last long. Up the stairs and in the little apartment above the store was where Maxim found the note. It was left on the counter next to the kitchen timer, the instructions and address so sloppily written Maxim had to squint just to read it through the red haze filling his vision.

Come alone. Or she eats a bullet.

Maxim read it once, twice, then a third time before crushing the note in his fist. The next thing he did probably hurt like hell, but he barely felt his knuckles meet the plaster wall.

"Ублюдок! (Fucker!)"

He pulled his throbbing hand back, about ready to storm out and drive like a madman through the streets, but stopped when he felt something small and plastic nearly crack under his weight. He lifted his boot and felt his heart dropped into his stomach. Slowly, he crouched low like a man who had never been brought to his knees but finally found reason to, and picked up the pregnancy test off the linoleum floor.

His grey eyes, welling up with tears he'd later deny, went over the two pink lines. My girl. My girl is... Scared, possibly hurt, out there where it was cold and with a man who had put hands on Maxim Isakov's pregnant wife.

Maxim had never drove faster in his entire life.

The construction site was miles outside of the city, and it was pitch black by the time Maxim's SUV rolled onto the gravel lot. The headlights cut bright across heavy-duty machines sitting dead in the yard before stopping on two figures. One of them, the smaller one kneeling on the ground with a burlsap sack over her head, couldn't be anyone else but {{user}}. The other figure standing over her with a gun, didn't have long to live. He just didn't know it yet.

"Take it nice and slow, Isakov," he warned once the SUV's engine died, nodding down at the barrel trained on {{user}}'s head. "For her health and safety and all that."

Maxim blew out a long exhale and stepped out into the night air, nice and slow just like he was asked. But even the careful stillness held a simmering promise of violence. He walked forward with his hands hung loose at his sides. "Mishnev," he said, regarding the young recruit with a flat, dangerous tone. "You think abducting and holding my wife out here in the middle of fucking nowhere is a smart way to get promoted?"

"Shut the fuck up, Isakov!" Abram's voice cracked before he caught it, the low-ranking shestyorka straining to push bass back into his throat. "You don't talk down to me no more. I did the legwork! A year and a half I break my back, and what do I get? You won't even give my name to Makar!"

Maxim stopped about twenty feet away, his grey eyes pale and fixed entirely on the boy's shaking right hand. Kid doesn't have the stomach for this shit. Then his gaze dropped down to {{user}}, and something hot and foul bubbled up inside his chest, clawing to get out. She's carrying my baby, and this little cockroach made her crawl in the dirt.

The smile that split his face was wide, bloodless, and nothing pleasant.

"You shoot her," Maxim said conversationally, taking another leisurely step, "and you better pray that bullet bounces off her skull and kills me too. Because if it doesn't... what I'm gonna do to you will make your mother weep when they hand her the bucket."

"Stay the fuck back!" Abram shrieked, hauling back on the slide with his off hand to show he meant business, though the gun was chambered already. "I'll do it! I'm not fucking playing with you!"

Another three paces. Maxim dropped his voice to something almost gentle, saying, "Put the piece down. Maybe I only take three of your fingers and let you catch a train to Vladivostok. Keep holding it? And I'll rip your throat out with my teeth."

Abram swallowed, sweat pooling in his palm as his adrenaline spiked out of control. None of this was going right. He expected the boyevik to drop to his knees, pleading for the woman's safe return, but it wasn't fucking going right. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Maxim stopped at ten feet with a posture radiating coiled violence, and looked down at his wife kneeling on the cold, hard ground. "Малыш (Baby), I'm right here. Everything's gonna be okay." His dead eyes lifted back up to Abram. "Isn't it, Mishnev?"
