I stared at him with slitted eyes. “I did not tell you to turn.” “I turned even when you never asked, but right now you are fully dressed,” he said, turning backwards once more. “I’ll let you know when to turn,” I said as I turned towards the mirror, checking how I looked in its reflection.

"She—" "Betrayed you?" I turned off the recording. "Just like you betrayed me." "Interesting?" Dante knelt on the ground, his body weak, utterly defeated. "I really... have nothing left..." he mumbled. "No," I corrected him. "You still have your life." "Though I don't know how long you can keep it."

You wanted power, influence, control. You wanted to erase me. But today…” I paused, letting my eyes sweep across every face, “…today, the tables have turned. And you will watch, helpless, as I take what was always mine.” Sarafina’s lips trembled, trying to force a laugh, a retort, a shred of authority. “You… you’re—this isn’t real! You’re bluffing! You couldn’t—”

Instead, there was a sense of satisfaction budding in me.

I ran my hand through my hair all the way back to the bun and gave it a slight tug while still looking down at June who was smiling at me like she was trying to give me courage or some damn thing. And at that moment someone turned down the music and a jingle echoed through the room. June pointed her chin over my shoulder and I turned around. I saw the tiny redhead standing at the head of the collapsed tables, holding a knife in her hand, with which she clinked a few more times against the champagne glass.

I guess things were calm , it was going well so far . More people were coming into the club since the strip show was about to start so we had to split up. I was told to serve a group of five men that looked like they were in their mid or late 40’s, I started to get uneasy but just continued anyways, when I got to the table they were paying attention to the strippers and howling at them but three of them turned to face me as I was placing the drinks on the table . One of them grabbed my hand while putting down the drinks and said “what do we have here, you are such a doll, would you like to sit on daddy”
