JUSTINA

It was dark by the time we arrived. As we got out of the Mercedes, I looked up at the house, old but somehow timeless, and let the boldest bone in my body speak. "Now some things about you are starting to make sense."

The mansion in the distance was massive, old, renovated so many times it barely counted as classical anymore. Much like Gregor Vallis: an enigma that felt closer to a cancer. A man of many talents, wrapped in trouble and danger. I let out a breath just thinking about what

    GREGORHe looked up at her, then at me, then back at her. "Yes, ma'am."The ma'am sounded wrong in his mouth, too formal, too careful. My mother's smile flickered, uncertain how to process this small, polite child who wasn't rushing to embrace her."Well… I'm your grandmother," she added, as if he might have forgotten."I know." Adonis tried to smile. It didn't reach his eyes, but it was enough. It was brave.My mother reached out and took his hand in hers. Her fingers engulfed his, making him look even smaller, more fragile. She turned to the housekeeper who had appeared in the doorway. "When we get inside, take him upstairs and get him into something appropriate," she instructed. "The blue set I bought should fit."The housekeeper, a woman named Clara who had worked for my mother for over ten years, nodded and reached for Adonis.I stepped forward. "What's wrong with what he's wearing?"My mother turned, her eyebrows arching. "Polyester, Gregor. He's wearing polyester."I laughed de

    GREGORThe phone buzzed against my thigh as I was shrugging into my jacket. I fished it out, expecting Marina with an update on Justina's shopping expedition, or perhaps the restaurant confirming the reservation I'd made twenty minutes earlier. Instead, the screen displayed a number I didn't recognize, local but unfamiliar."Gregor Vallis," I answered, slipping my other arm through the sleeve."Mr. Vallis, this is Elite Care Sitters. I'm calling to confirm that our sitter, Emma, is en route to the address you provided. She should arrive within fifteen minutes."I glanced at my watch. "Good. My mother will be there to receive her.""Excellent. Ms. Emma has your contact information and the child's emergency medical records. Is there anything else we should know about Adonis before she arrives?"I paused, looking toward the living room where I could hear the clatter of plastic against wood. "He's observant," I replied. "He notices things adults think he's missed. Make sure your sitter kn

    JUSTINAThe blonde opened her mouth, then closed it. Her shoulders dropped. She turned to her attendant. "Fine. Continue."The attendant looked at Stacia, who nodded. The woman approached cautiously, resuming the facial with trembling hands.Marina sat back down at her table, a smug smile playing at her lips. She caught my eye and winked. Grudging respect warmed my chest. She was good. Better than good. She was terrifying in the most useful way.For a few minutes, the room settled into an uneasy truce. The sound of gentle music played from hidden speakers, something with flutes and running water. The attendants worked in silence. I closed my eyes, trying to find that relaxation Marina had mentioned, but my muscles remained coiled tight.Then the blonde spoke again."Oh, shut it, chink," she snarled at her attendant, who had apparently asked her to tilt her head back. "I will move at my own fucking pace."The attendant flinched, her hands going still on the blonde's temple. Something c

    JUSTINAThe brunette's smile faltered. "Excuse me?""You heard me." I swung my legs over the side of the table, my bare feet touching the cold tile floor. "If you're going to insult me, at least have the decency to believe your own bullshit. It makes for better theater."The blonde opened her eyes. She looked at me with something that might have been surprise, or just irritation at having her relaxation interrupted."Careful," she warned. "You're showing your rough edges.""Better than showing my fucking ignorance," I countered.Marina sat up fully now, her sheet clutched to her chest. She looked between the models and me, her eyes bright with anticipation.The door opened again. Stacia entered, her perfect smile fixed in place, though her eyes moved quickly across the room, assessing the tension. She clapped her hands together, a sharp sound that broke the spell."Ladies," she announced, her voice warm but firm. "Everyone here is a valued customer. We have a strict policy regarding t

    JUSTINAOne of the three said something to her friends in a low voice, and though I couldn't make out the words, the way their eyes flicked back to me told me enough.Marina's hand found my wrist under the table's edge and stayed there."Ignore them," she said, quiet enough that only I could hear it."I wasn't planning on doing anything.""I know. I'm not talking about you." Her thumb moved once against my pulse point, an absent, anxious little motion, like she was the one who needed steadying. "I just don't want this turning into something.""I do not go looking for trouble, Marina, and they're just standing there.""For now." She glanced at the women again, then back at me, and some of the tightness in her jaw eased when she saw I wasn't about to give anyone a scene. "Let's just get through the facial. We don't owe them a reaction."That… I agreed with. So we did just that.The robe clung to my damp skin as I settled onto the treatment table. The paper liner crinkled beneath my shou

    CHARISSA"This is about my boredom," he corrected. "You interested me for exactly as long as it takes to eat a plate of octopus. After that, you're free to go back to starving yourself for people who'll forget you the moment a fifteen-year-old from Minsk walks through the door."The cruelty of it should have sent me straight back out onto the street. Instead I laughed, short and startled, because it was the first honest thing anyone in that industry had said to me in years, delivered without the softening people usually wrapped around insults meant to sound like advice."You're not very charming," I told him."I've never needed to be." He refilled my water glass without asking, an automatic gesture, the kind of thing a man did when he was used to managing tables full of people who couldn't manage themselves. "Charm is for men who need something from you. I don't need anything from you.""Then why buy me dinner?"He considered the question longer than I expected, his fork resting again
