My bestie got wasted and begged me in tears.
"Help me get into Caspian's bed! Please, spend whatever it takes, just get me out of this broke-ass life!"
God help me. Caspian was the most ruthless Don in Chicago.
I sighed. What could I do? I was her best friend.
But I had one rule: never spend a dime more than I have to.
The budget was set. The less I spent, the more I pocketed.
She gave me $5,000 to buy a dress that would seduce him. I pocketed $4,900.
So she wore a dress I made out of flea-market silk scraps. Her pitiful, broke-girl act completely won the Don over.
Thrilled, she shoved another $1,000 into my hands to buy top-tier birth control.
I skimmed $999 and bought a two-dollar bottle of multivitamins.
Clutching that positive pregnancy test, my bestie looked at me like I was God.
Later, the Don's ex, Cassandra—pure mafia royalty—came back for blood.
Furious, my bestie threw $50,000 at me.
"Ruin her! Aria, you're the only one I trust to handle this."
But at the family dinner, that bitch struck first.
"She hired thugs to attack me in the penthouse! They're hiding inside right now!"
Yet, when Caspian kicked the door open.
The woman's smug smirk froze.
"Freaks... are you fucking freaks?! Who fills a room with life-sized creepy Halloween wax figures?!"
