Santi opened the car doors for them, but Manuela exited on the opposite side. Uno walked ahead, Manuela behind him, followed by Santi. As they walked through the mall, Manuela noticed people staring and following Uno. She couldn't blame the women for gawking; he was handsome and had a great physique, but Manuela stood by her earlier teasing remarks. "Hello!" A woman stopped Uno. "Aren't you Uno Juaquin Urquio?

I frowned and looked at her, “what do you mean by that?” “Our rivaling company always gets the contract each year,” “What company?” I asked taping my fingernails on the desk. The only company I knew was big enough to rival ours was that of Henrys and the other one that took deals through bribery. “The one of Mr. Henry Baldwin, “

"He's all used-up, and you're still acting like he's a treasure? You must be really desperate! What's the difference between that incubus and a dog in heat? Someone like you should just find an honest guy willing to take you in!" Tracy Rowe was standing outside the county office with Jamie Stephenson, arguing with me at the top of her lungs.

"As per our agreement, 50 million dollars has been transferred to your account through legal channels. Now, initiating the final step—Restoration of Emotions."

"Mr. Kane... please understand. The company was in the middle of a five billion dollar restructuring during your divorce. Your ex-wife was looking for any vulnerability to break the settlement terms. We discovered a tipped employee from a low end diner had spent a night at your private penthouse. She showed up in the lobby weeks later, demanding to see you." Gabriel’s heart stopped. "And what did you do?"

"And I've been managing it alone because telling anyone changes the shape of it and I'm not sure I am ready for the shape to change." I stare at him, trying so hard not to move or even reach for my wine. I just hold his gaze across the fire and let him see that I'm still here, still on this side of whatever he's about to say, because this is the moment and the worst thing I could do right now is move.

Nino didn't have a care in the world, eating his dinner like it was his last. Malachai and the rest looked from Scuderi to me with uninterested eyes. They knew what was about to happen and they couldn't care less. This was an ordinary Saturday Night. I swirled the red wine in the glass, my movements calculative, giving the illusion of control. Not illusion—I am in control. "You owe a lot of dangerous people money. So you decided to cut my product for a quick buck," I continued. "Now because of you I'm down supplies and people are asking questions they're not supposed to be asking. You see my problem here, don't you?"
