"A week." "So, what're our strategies for his unexpected arrival." "A bullet is all I need to welcome him." Taking another sip of his expensive looking wine, Silvio leaned back on his chair as Dante gave a curt nod. "So, you plan to surprise him?" Dante said unfolding his arms, and sitting opposite to Silvio. Silvio raised his glass as he looked at half wine filled glass. "A stone for stone...a life for life."

Dating meant staying by his side, attending the public events, wearing fake smiles and pretending to be a happy couple. And I didn’t want to do any of that with a man I intended to destroy.

"Paparazzi being their usual selves," I leaned back on the leather seat. She disregarded my response, "Yet you bring someone home, and they spend the night?"

Everyone turned to see Carl Hornsbeck standing behind them, his arms around the shoulders of the two women he’d entered with. Smirking at Lewis, he said, “Our friend Lewis here doesn’t stand a chance once the judges see my movie.” His gaze drifted to Brooklyn, and he winked at her. “You should hang out with better people,” he told her. Beside Brooklyn, Cort tensed. She put her hand on his arm and sniffed at Carl. “I only hang with the best people,” she told him. “I’m not some sort of groupie just hanging on to someone hoping to get my fifteen minutes of fame by proxy.”

Dynaris nodded her thanks, and with a deep breath, she led us forward. After hours of walking, we came to a clearing, and in the center of it stood an enormous stone door, adorned with intricate carvings of dragons and ancient runes.
