Sephie is just a waitress trying to survive her late shifts, joking with her charming bartender friend Max and finding comfort in her kind neighbors. But once a month, she serves the city’s most dangerous crime bosses: a job that pays well but comes with risks. Tonight, as black SUVs arrive, she braces herself, unaware her life is about to change forever.
Stephen thought for a few minutes, in his usual serious way. “That actually holds up to her personality. I always thought Andrei was too nice for her. I think that’s why she didn’t like him as much as she thought she would once they started dating. He’s so quiet, but he looks like the stereotypical…
We stayed behind while they left to grab Niko. The whole thing was over in under twenty minutes and Niko was on his way to a separate safe house from Vito. Adrik I couldn’t help but feel a huge relief once I knew Niko and Vito were in our custody and unable to escape the…
“Maybe we need to adjust our plans and take care of Martin first,” Andrei said. “If innocent people are dying, we shouldn’t leave him to last.” “Agreed,” Ivan said. “I also agree. I want to find out what Trino knows. We’ll meet him tomorrow night. I’m not sure he knows the extent of what’s happening.…
I smiled at her, some of the irritation from earlier managing to come back. She searched my eyes for a moment, then asked, “you’re just irritated with him? Not anything else?” “Having my mind go back to your time in the hospital was unexpected,” I said. “I see,” she said, chewing on her bottom lip.…

She turned to look at me, her sweet smile on her face. “I never thought about it like that before, but you’re absolutely right. I might love this dingey little apartment a little more right now,” she said. “I, for one, am grateful for it. It’s proven to be very useful,” I said, pulling her…
“I could go have a conversation with him,” Ivan said, knowing full well that was not going to happen. “I have an idea,” Sephie told me. “Stephen, how many car lengths between where this idiot is posted up and the entrance to the garage?” “One, two…five,” he said. “And what does the car look like…
It had been a few days since meeting with Doug and Eric when Viktor walked into my office, followed closely by Ivan. “We just got word from Battista that Niko and Vito are coming back. They’ll be here in two days,” Viktor said. “Is Battista still here?” I asked. “No, he’s on his way back…
Viktor walked ahead of the group to check both Eric and Doug, making it look like las checking for weapons. The rest of us watched as their auras lit up while Kostya was fixing them. He made quick work of it. Luckily, neither man needed tooh work. Doug’s aura had started to heal itself after…
Andrei and Ilya were both pleased with themselves when their match was over. They both stepped out of the ring near me, as Sephie and Ivan were now standing with me waiting their turn.
