He'd never had such obscene thoughts before, not once in all his life Thoughts about things like that sometimes repulsed him, in the past whenever he thought about things like that, he would almost wanna throw up, his skin would crawl in disgust and a very painful and sour memory would surface, but now all he could think about was how thrilling it would feel to explore something like that, not just that but to explore it with Spade. He sighed out, his eyes moving back to Spade's back. He took a left turn again and they stopped in a corridor, bigger than the usual ones and not too long. It had two doors facing each other on opposite side. Spade stopped in front of the one on the right and he

Yeah, he'd learned to practice patience, but dealing with the police while they questioned Betty had just about driven him to the edge of reason. He opened the car door for her, holding her elbow as she climbed in. Daylight had waned, and the parking garage was dimly lit, the sound of other hospital visitors echoing through the cement structures. Betty listened for other things. Furtive footballs on the pavement. The click of a gun safety being released. The slide of fabric or the soft huff is a breath. Someone had tried to kill Dan just a few weeks ago, and there was no reason to believe that person would be content to let him live. The road went quiet as he stepped around the car. The soun

If Meekey was going to carve out a future for herself—maybe even earn a sliver of space in her daughter’s world—she had to do it the right way. Build a life. Get clean. Stay steady. And hold onto her leverage—not as a weapon, but as protection. She finished her cigarette, crushed it under her boot, and went back inside. She worked until close, then walked the six blocks back to Vanessa’s apartment with her hoodie up and her head down. Inside, the house was quiet. But on the table, a folded note waited for her. Meekey, Some guy came by asking questions. Said he knew you. Said his name was Rome.

I had once heard of the biggest hotels in our city, and I had been to so many of them, but I guess the one he brought me to was the biggest among the hotels in our city. The two men followed us into the big room of the hundredth floor, and stood by his sides of the sofa, while he sat down, and left me standing before him. He crossed his legs like British nobles would do in British movies, and one of the men in suit offered him a big brown cigar that had been lit. Most big mafias I know smoke pipes, but this one smoke big brown cigar I could bet he would never finish even within the space of a week, unless he leaves it to burn.

She manages to deceive him for a whole year until her cup finally gets filled. After four months he goes to a nightclub and brings back a lady. They do their thing and the lady leaves the next day. Bella, as usual, goes to kill her. She has no idea the lady is the daughter of one of the deadliest mafia bosses in Italy. Killing her isn't easy because she fights so well, but Bella still manages to get her down. She is about to leave the place only to come face to face with Conrald and his men.

I seethed, so over her fake display of fear. “Yes, that's Alyssa Waters. The renowned Author. I don't know how much you know but her career ended last month because a beta reader read her latest book and saw chapters about heavy incest and rape. Mind you, this has been her oldest beta reader. Personally, she should've told her to change it instead of accusing her and saying she supported child molesters.” “Hmm.” I replied, stroking my chin with my hands and my eyes were fixed on Alyssa's picture on the document.

I left the house and rode straight to Triumph Hotel. I booked a room directly across from 701. We had plenty of cameras at home. I brought a small one with me. I was going to catch them together. Ten o'clock. No one. Eleven. Midnight. Nothing was going the way I expected. I stayed up until dawn, my eyes burning. The door across the hall never opened. Chloe never showed up. Had I been wrong? Did she really not betray me? Were those messages and photos all in my head?

Then New York would be a safer place and these dark times would be over. She looked up from the pile of paperwork on her desk which she was trying to get through ,yawning because she was beginning to feel a little sle

The lights flickered on one after another the moment we crossed the threshold. My breath caught. “...Oh my God.” The room was enormous. It stretched so far into the distance that I couldn't immediately see where it ended. Rows upon rows of shelves lined the walls, each one filled with neatly stacked gold bars that gleamed beneath the bright lights. Several steel cabinets stood against one side of the room, while dozens of fireproof safes occupied another. Wooden crates bearing the Blackwood crest were stacked neatly in one corner. On the far side of the vault sat shelves packed with carefully arranged files, leather-bound folders, cash, jewelry and paintings.
