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.
Viktor’s phone beeped. Sephie just held it out for someone to grab, without moving her face from my shoulder and neck. Viktor took it, looking at the message. “She’s telling Martin. They’re all going to think Armando is dead by tonight,” he said, somewhat amused. “I mean, is it a lie though?” Andrei asked. “He’s…
Sephie studied him for a moment. “You want to try talking to her by yourself, Bubba? You’re sure about that?” she asked. Adrik “We all ha te her, but oddly enough, most of my ha te for her died with Tori. I can’t explain it, but I’m pretty apathetic toward Giana since the night I…
“I’m surprised they left the safes. I would’ve thought they would have moved those, thinking they’d be able to break into them later,” Stephen said. “Same. I had our guys move the safes here. I’m not above cutting his finger off and popping an eyeball out to get it open,” Ivan said. I coughed this…
“Unexpected from the du mbest Colombian to ever walk the earth,” Ivan said. “He’s still vacillating between semi-smart and du mb as f**k. His plan for Giana is actually pretty solid. I did not expect such strategy from him,” 1 said. Ivan was thinking over what I’d just said, running his hand over his goatee…
“At least we know where she is right now. I’m a little more worried about Trino, Martin is clearly moving against him. Trino either needs to get out of there or he needs to get nd of everyone around him and he needs to do it today,” Sephie said. She saw the smirk on my…
“I think we need to give it a day or two, though. I’m not sure we’ll get anything useful right now, because he doesn’t know what the he II to do yet,” I said. “And also, I’m scared of seeing him thinking about her graphic text from earlier. I don’t need that seared into my…
“She might’ve been, but she holds her liquor better than he does from what I saw. She had to help him out of the club,” Stephen said. “Did you see her leave with him?” Viktor asked. “They left the club together. What happened outside the club, I don’t know. She might’ve sent him back to…
“I don’t necessarily care if they steal from Armando. Serves him right. But I want to know if Martin is bold enough to think he can operate in my city without my knowledge. If that’s the case, I won’t need to tell Trino anything until after I’ve ki lled Martin,” Adrik said. “Giana is asking…
“You’re not wrong, Squish,” I said. “It would explain quite a lot. I’m starting to question whether you guys have been telling me the truth about my extra spicy side though. Seeing it in Giana doesn’t seem very fun.” “Not even in the same ballpark, gazelle,” Misha said. Adrik held me tighter, saying quietly, “never…
“The guys that are on her said she never asks about him. Like literally not once.” Viktor said. “I feel like that’s weird,” I said, turning toward the guys. Adrik kept his arms around me, pulling me back against him. “It’s definitely weird,” Stephen said. “We know their relationship wasn’t at all what it appeared…
