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.
Adrik was laying across the bed, lost in thought as he waited for me to finish drying my hair. 1 hader’s planned on washingt after Misha and I got back from our run this morning, but since Adrik couldn’t keep his hands off me in the dyr, my hair was washed and now needed to…
“How long do you need to figure out some sort of plan and have an idea of what you’ll need to handle the fallout if we can’t stop the plan?” Viktor asked. “I should know within a day or two. I’m going to need to have some serious discussions with the doctors, nurses, and administration…
I noticed Giana’s eyes went wide when Sephie mentioned her uncle. Armando looked at her, a stern look on his face, almost like he was silently saying “I told you so.” I waited for her to look at me. I knew she would. She was practically incapable of not staring at me at some point…
“Can we take the long route today?” I asked Sephie as we were stretching for our run the following morning. She looked at me, a serious look on her face. “Misha, is something wrong? You’re volunteering to torture yourself now? Is there something I need to know?” I chuckled, then shrugged my shoulders. “It’s been…
“How organized are the dealers? Are there clear leaders we can work with?” I asked. “Yeah, they organized quick. There’s a few guys that are taking the lead.

“He’ll get what he deserves, doc,” Stephen said. I could see the anger on his face, which surprised me. Stephen was always so quiet, but this one seemed to really get under his skin for some reason. Dr. Williams ran his hand through his blonde hair. “I can’t believe you found him so quickly. We’ve…
“I was a kid the first time someone tried to get to my father through me. They ran the car we were in off the road. It killed the driver instantly and the bodyguard that was with me had severe injuries. I was small enough that I somehow survived, although I still don’t know how.…
“You only have yourself to blame for that one. I kept telling you I could’ve given you a normal hug that whole time, but you wouldn’t let me. So, really, it’s entirely your fault.” I heard Adrik laugh behind us. I poked him in the ribs as I laughed too. “Where’s everyone else?” I asked.…
“Sorry for the unplanned and completely unnecessary entertainment everyone,” I said as we walked quickly out of his office. I was a little taken aback by Adrik’s behavior. Once we were on the elevator, I looked up at him. “Is everything okay?” He was silent for the short ride up to the penthouse, his jaw…
“You’re what’s kept me from ordering the destruction of half the city in the pursuit of destroying the other bosses.” “Maybe that’s not a good thing. It would be over with by now that way,” I said, “Not necessarily. I would’ve unleashed my own chaos on the city. Chaos is loud. It’s disordered. There’s always…
