Birthday Girl

Isadora "Uhh," I stuttered, taken unexpectedly. What the hell, Viktor.Ivan’s brows drew together. “It’s your birthday?”I cleared my throat, grabbing my coffee like it could hide me. “Yeah. I mean… technically.”“Technically?” Rafael repeated, a grin already forming.“I didn’t think it was a big deal.”"Wow," Ivan exclaimed, his eyes looking like he had been betrayed."It's really not a big deal, Ivan." I urged, trying to control the situation.Ivan turned toward me. "So you told Viktor but not me?”I blinked. “I didn’t tell Viktor.”Viktor shrugged, not looking even a little guilty. “You didn’t have to.”My eyes narrowed. “Wait— how did you even know?”He leaned back in his chair. “I listen when people talk. You mentioned it once, months ago.”Ivan frowned deeper. “Months ago?”Viktor nodded. “Yeah. During one of our 'personal' conversations. Said something about never really being celebrated on your birthdays so far and that you got used to not even mentioning it anymore. It stuck

The Strange Woman

Isadora“Okay, birthday girl. Don’t make me drag you.” Mariana nudged me with her elbow as I hesitated, standing in front of the entrance to the boutique.I rolled my eyes. “You already dragged me.”We'd left later for a boutiqueafter I had called her, and then a salon next, in preparation for the party ahead.She smirked. “You’re welcome.”“I said yes to dinner, not to being dressed like a barbie doll.”She gasped. “Excuse you, I pride myself in having an exquisite taste.”“That’s debatable.”Mariana snatched a dress off the rack and held it against me. “This. It’s giving cartel goddess.”“It’s giving too much skin.”“Perfect.”I stared at the fabric. “It’s see-through.”“Only in the right places,” she said, winking. “Try it on.”I groaned but grabbed it. “If I walk out looking a mess, I’m blaming you.”“You won't, trust me.”I changed and stepped out of the fitting room, crossing my arms as she turned and gasped.“I hate how good that looks on you.”“I feel naked.”“Hot naked.”“Is

Surprise Gift

IsadoraBy the time we got back, the sun had gone down and the house was bustling with activities.I kicked off my heels and dropped the shopping bags on my bed, staring at them for a second.Mariana was wrong. I hated birthdays.An hour later, I pulled my robe tighter and moved toward the mirror, touching up my already styled hair.I was debating red lipstick, because apparently a stranger knew what was best for me, when the knock came.Soft. Hesitant. I opened the door halfway.Ivan stood there, leaning on the frame like he had nowhere better to be. His eyes landed on me. “Hey.”“Hey,” I said back, pulling the door open fully. “I wasn't expecting you.”“I know,” he said. “Figured I wouldn't have any other time besides now.”I stepped aside. “Come in.”He walked in slowly, glancing around. “Where’s Mariana?”“Downstairs. Talking Rafael’s ears off, probably.”“Poor guy.”I smiled faintly. “What’s up?”He turned to face me. “I just wanted a moment. Before everything starts.”I leaned a

The Cake

Isadora“You’re stalling,” Mariana said sitting on the edge of the bed.“I’m taking it in” I replied, adjusting the thin strap of the black dress we'd finally settled on.“You’re glowing.”“I’m sweating.”She smirked. “Same thing.”I turned toward the mirror. The fabric hugged every inch, the slit high, the neckline criminal. “You sure this isn’t too much?”“For your birthday? It’s too little, honestly.”"Are you sure I look okay?" I asked, anxious."You look beautiful, Isa."A knock sounded. Mariana pouted. “That better be Ivan seeing the light.”I opened the door.Ivan stood there in a black suit, shirt unbuttoned, hair slicked back. Handsome more than enough to be illegal. His eyes landed on me, and stayed there.He blinked. “Damn.”I raised an eyebrow. “That your version of a compliment?”“No,” he said, his voice lower. “That’s me trying not to lose it." He said, his eyes locked on me.Mariana cheesed. "As he should."I smirked. “Behave.”“Not a chance.”Another figure leaned agai

Party Gone Wrong

Isadora“Back! Everyone back!”“Get her out of here—move!”There were screams. Glasses Shattered. Chairs scraping. Chaos.Ivan yanked me back. “Don’t look at it, Isadora—hey, look at me! look at me!”My eyes were locked on the cake. Or what was left of it. Diego’s head. His eyes open, the candle still flickering in his mouth like some sick joke.“Go! Now!” Rafael shouted, pushing through guests.“What the hell is going on?!” Viktor growled, grabbing my arm as Ivan pulled the other.“Clear the damn room!” Rafael barked. “Weapons out—secure the exits!”Guests were fleeing in all directions. Some screamed. Others cried.“Keep her between us,” Ivan said, his voice sharp. “No one gets close.”My heels scraped against the tiles as they dragged me. I felt nothing yet heard everything.“Isadora, come on, we have to go!” Viktor said, shaking me lightly. “Snap out of it!”We turned a corner. Mariana appeared, pale. “What the hell was that?!”“Stay with Rafael!” Ivan shouted.“No! I’m not leavin

Bang

“Wake up, Isa."Ivan’s voice cut through the fog of my sleep, rousing me as I stirred, my eyes sleepy.“What time is it?” I mumbled, rubbing my eyes. I'd barely been able to fall asleep all night, and it felt like I'd just slept for a few minutes before being woken.“Early.”I sat up slowly. “Why? What's going on?" I was tense immediately at his serious tone, anxious that there'd be even more bad news.“Rafael just called. They found the strange guy Luis saw, the one who apparently brought in the cake.”That got my attention fast, every ounce of sleep fading away.I blinked. “What?”“He’s in the interrogation room. Viktor’s with him.”I swung my legs off the bed. “I want to see him.”Ivan didn’t argue. “Figured you would.”“Where’s Rafael?”“Waiting.”I was already halfway to the door before he finished, grabbing my robe as I threw it around me. Ivan followed behind. We stepped into the hallway. Rafael was leaning against the wall, arms crossed. His face was stone-serious.“You got h

Cracks In The Foundation

“What the hell was that?” Rafael barked, turning to Ivan."Ivan, speak!"“You just shot him!” Viktor snapped. “In the face!”“Can you all just relax? I did what needed to be done, I had no choice,” Ivan said calmly.“You always have a choice,” I shouted. “You made the wrong one.”“Excuse me?" He faced me, his eyes looking hurt. "He had a weapon,” Ivan said, already walking toward the body.“Now you come up with that?” I scoffed.He crouched beside the man, checking his waistband.Rafael folded his arms, watching. “There better be something.”Ivan reached under the corpse’s belt. “There.”He pulled out a small, curved blade smeared with fresh blood from the impact.“I saw him, maybe if you paid more attention, you would've noticed. He was going to use this on you when you stepped closer,” Ivan said, standing up.I stared at it, my expression softening as I hesitated a little. Then I crossed my arms, furious again. “He was tied to a damn chair.”Ivan stepped forward. “He was loosening t

An Anonymous Image

A knock landed on the door. I didn’t move.“Isadora?” It was Mariana.I didn’t say anything.“Can I come in?”I sighed, still sitting on the edge of the bed. “Door’s open.”She walked in slowly, glancing around like she wasn’t sure if she belonged. Her hands were tucked nervously into the pockets of her jacket.“I heard about what happened downstairs,” she said gently.“Of course you did. Probably everyone in the house did.”She closed the door behind her and stepped in further. “I just wanted to check on you. You okay?”I let out a short, humorless laugh. “Define okay.”Mariana gave a small smile and walked over. “Can I sit?”I nodded, and she dropped onto the floor in front of me, legs crossed like a kid.“I saw Ivan in the hall. He didn’t say much.”“Yeah,” I muttered. “He never does.”“You wanna talk about it?”I stayed silent for a few seconds. Then it all just… spilled out. “I’m just tired,” I said. “So damn tired.”Mariana looked up at me. “Of what?”“Of everything. The chaos.

When Doubt Creeps In

"You good?” Mariana asked again.I didn’t answer. She stared at the screen a second longer. “Do you wanna get out of here? Just clear your head?”“Where?”“Club. It’s not very busy tonight, I confirmed.”I didn’t respond right away, hesitating as thoughts of the image and the mysterious woman lingered.“Come on,” she said gently. “It’ll help.”I looked at the photo one more time, then locked my phone.“Yeah. Fine.”The music played low, more for ambiance than anything else. The club was half-lit, the bar glowing a soft blue, tables empty except for us and a few other people. We slid into a booth near the corner. Mariana ordered something non-alcoholic. But I hadn't touched my drink yet.“You sure you wanna sit here and drool?” she asked, sipping hers.I nodded, eyes on the glass in front of me.“Do you want me to stay?” she asked after a few seconds.I glanced at her. “It’s fine. I know you've got work to do."She hesitated. “Okay… just holler if you change your mind.”I gave a tiny n

A Name To The Face

I didn’t take my eyes off her. The woman, same black hair, same unsettling calm, walking toward me confidently. Poised.“Isadora,” she said smoothly. “We meet again.”I blinked. “You were at the salon.”“Among other places,” she replied, smile faint. She turned to Viktor. “Viktor.”“You are?” he asked politely, nodding."Elina."He paused for a moment, then cocked an eyebrow. "Petrov, the Elina Petrov?"“I suppose so,” she smirked, her eyes flicking back to me.“You two know each other?” I asked carefully.“Not personally,” Viktor replied. “She’s… been around.”“A pleasure,” she said, offering her hand.I shook it briefly, not missing the cold undertone in her voice. “Likewise.”“I’ll give you two a moment,” Viktor said, already backing away. Elina slid into the booth across from me, where Viktor had been.“You’re very pretty,” she said.I tilted my head. “What is this? A game?”“No games,” she said smoothly. “I just figured it was time we officially met and had a talk. Woman to woman
