It was a nude-brown flowy dress with sleeves, made of luxurious fabric. "Girl! He’s planning to take you on a date!" Misha squealed. "Shush, Misha!" Shiela complained, making me laugh. "It’s so elegant, Lyrica. It suits you perfectly," Misha added, ignoring Shiela.

" Deal? Who the hell told him I had a deal with her? Miles was always attentive, so his finding out about the deal didn't shake me up. Still, I acted dumb. " what do you mean by the deal? " I filled my glass up with some red wine and gulp down half of it. " I meant, what's up with you and her being in a "relationship" out of the blue? Aren't we still consoling you over your divorce from Rachel?" Rachel. her name alone got the blood rushing to my head.

The font was so small and unreadable that I squinted hard before I could see it clearly. “The devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know.”

The terms were on her desk by seven, in type, squared to the edge. Elena read them standing up, then sitting down, then out loud to Luca, who ate the corner of page three and improved it.

“Do we have a deal?” “Ten million dollars. One million in cash. Four million to the account I will provide, and five million in bitcoin. I’ll call you when to meet, no cops, no extra heads. If I found out you’re bringing your buddies from Osmium, the deal is off.

“Yeah?” “You know that new guy I’ve been seeing? He works at the bathhouse, and he overheard some cartel guys talking.” Her eyes were wide, a mix of excitement and fear. “There’s going to be a drug trade tonight at that new club—and it’s going to get messy. Like, a bloodbath.” “What new club?” I asked. “Uh… what’s it called again? Yeah—Ortega.” Something prickled at the back of my mind. Where had I heard that name before?

"Great. Make yourself at home." "You know what I want, Aria." He spoke in a deep voice with his smouldering gaze fixed on me that for a second I thought he meant something else. I swallowed hard and took a step back just to maintain a safe distance between us. I was hard to think when he was close to me. The Deal. He was talking about the deal. Pull yourself together!
