Anna finds Tatiana's journal. Anna discovers from the journal that a man named Semyon from the Russian mafia has prostituted and raped Tatiana. Anna goes to confront Semyon. Semyon promises to direct Anna to the family of Tatiana if she agrees to give him her journal and never speak of it again.

Anna gives Semyon the journal, but Semyon does not reveal the location of the Tatiana's family. Instead, Semyon insists that Anna keeps the baby in London.

Semyon's driver Nikolai impresses Semyon and Semyon promotes him. However, Semyon sets up Nikolai to be killed by having him go to an awry meeting with mad business associates. The business associates attack, but Nikolai kills them all.

It turns out that Nikolai is a FBS agent. Nikolai and Anna must expose Semyon for what he did to Tatiana and take him down.
Best part of story, including ending: This is a great story because of the revenge that is taken for Tatiana's abuse. The people that were responsible for her rape and drug addiction faced justice and that made this a good story.

Best scene in story: My favorite scene was when Nikolai killed all the Chechens. It was very unexpected because he was outnumbered. It seemed like he was going to die but he surprised everyone and came out on top.

Opinion about the main character: What I liked most about Nikolai was that he was a very powerful character. He started out as a driver but worked his way to the top, only to turn out to be an FBS agent.
