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.
“It’s possible she was there, just ahead of you, or she was a part of the sea of people that were suddenly around you two. It would’ve been difficult to pick her out of the crowd. The bigger question is whether she was there by chance or by design. And we still need to figure…
Sephie I woke up curled up under the covers. I didn’t even need to check the bed to know that Adrik was gone. I only needed covers when he wasn’t in bed with me. He was like having a personal heater next to me all night long, to covers were never needed. It’s partially why…
“He’s meeting with business associates of his, Armando, and a few business associates of Armando’s as well. They’re all people. he regularly does business with. They’ve been working on a project for a while now,” Andrei said. “Sounds exciting,” I said, sarcastically. “That’s probably why Adrik left a somewhat open invitation for me to interrupt…
He pulled me closer to him, kissing me again, this time more passionately. “You should come to all my meetings, solnishko. You offer valuable insight,” he said. I laughed. “I don’t know why you put up with me and my inability to control my mo uth.” Adrik I was lost in my own thoughts about…
Ivan put them at ease. “It’s healing. It looks much better now.” They all visibly relaxed when they heard the news. They, like me, were still carrying some guilt over what had happened to her.

I laid under her for a while longer, running my fingers through her hair and over her body, enjoying the peace. I didn’t have anything scheduled until after lunch, so I could afford to spend extra time with her this morning. I felt her fingers start to play on my chest. I smiled, knowing she…
“So, what did you do?” Ivan asked Adrik. “I made sure Andrei didn’t want to pursue anything further with her and then I fired her,” he said, smiling. Ivan stood up, both hands in the air, “YES!” I couldn’t help but laugh at his excitement. Even Andrei laughed. “I’m going to enjoy going to the…
We all laughed. Ivan looked very seriously at her. “Name the time and place, Ms. Jackson. We will gladly accompany you.” Viktor nodded in agreement. She blushed, laughing. “Lord, I don’t think you’re ready for the number of heart attacks you’ll be responsible for.” We spent a few more minutes visiting with them both before…
“Sephie,” Viktor started, but paused. “You’re just… fuc king awesome.” Ivan said, “you should’ve seen the tantrum she threw on her way out of the building. She was pi ssed. I have to say I’ve been wanting to be able to throw her out of the building for a long time now. Thank you for…
Adrik added, “I was a little worried about how Sephie would read this situation too. I wanted to hold onto her, you know, just in case.” He laughed, looking at my shocked expression. Viktor picked up the story. “We were all worried but had no reason to be. Of course, Sephie saw through the bu…
