"I did a full territorial assessment last month," he said. "Before the —

“You’re a complete nerd. Do you even know how to play cards?” I shook my head. “Nope. I’ve been studying all these years. When would I have time to learn?” I said openly and honestly, as if I were there just to ruin her vibe. Taylor rolled her eyes. “If you can’t play, then get out. Don’t dirty our place!” “Though I may not know how to play, I do have money. And not just money, I have property too.” I pulled out my phone and the title deed, showing her exactly what I brought to the table.

Maps covered his massive desk, red marks indicating territories, blue for allies, black for contested zones. "Sit," Giovanni ordered when they arrived. Dante took one chair. Arabelle deliberately chose the one farthest from him. Clara sat between them, literally and figuratively. Giovanni studied the arrangement with knowing eyes. "Still at odds, I see. Good. Use that tension. Channel it into this project." "What project?" Dante asked. "The Northern expansion I mentioned Friday." Giovanni spread out a larger map. "Three territories currently in flux—the warehouse district, the port access roads, and the entertainment zone. All previously controlled by smaller families who've recently... coll

The room had answered. The room had built. The room had carried it to where it needed to go. Finn looked at the notification. At the routing map. At Whitevale in its color at the northern edge.

At the web that had grown from eight. Sixteen now. Sera looked at the map. At all sixteen territories.

"Do you need assistance finding your table? The VIP section is toward the east terrace." "Oh, I know where the table is, thank you," Tamara murmured, her sharp, dark eyes moving slowly down the front of my gray trousers, taking in my low heels before locking back onto my face. "I actually wanted to steal you for a minute. The finance directors are making a terrible mess of the seating rows, and I always prefer talking to the people who actually run the logistics."

Silas stood at the head of the table, his hands planted firmly on the marble edge. I stood entirely by his side, the midnight-blue velvet of my gown pooling against the harsh iron grating of the floor.

Shaun The tavern bustled with activity as Shaun looked around, his gaze sweeping over the crowded tables filled with warriors and citizens engaged in lively conversation, while all the hostesses scurried around them. The air was thick with the scent of ale and the murmur of endless chatter. Shaun stood behind the bar counter, his presence unassuming yet observant. Despite the lively atmosphere, time seemed to pass differently within the tavern's walls, as if the outside world held its breath in anticipation of the next moment.

He tried to divert but it was a bad idea. Alex mouthed NO MORE SEX and Emery knew he was screwed. "Zee I am gonna call back later. I have to make up with Alex. Bye". He hurry rushed to Alex before he closes the bathroom door. It was going to be no fun if they were in Maldives and Alex deprived him of sex. ******* Tabby

I spotted an open table in the corner, so I tapped Tyler on the shoulder to let him know where I was going, then scurried over to snag it before anyone else could.
