Vince's pov.
She walked in like she owned the place.
My eyes went over her in one glance. 5'6" tall, redhead, perfect makeup, nice curves, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
I could tell because I rarely got any shade of happiness around me.
She sat there drinking quietly and staring into space. For some reason, I could not get my eyes off her and the woman beside me noticed it.
"Vince, I miss you." She said softly. "You should come to Los Angeles more often."
I turned to look at her. "What does LA have?"
"Me."
She reached out for my hand, playing with the tattoo on it. I knew what she wanted, but I did not feel like it today.
"Let me make you relax." She continued. "We can go all night."
"You know you never really satisfy me, Alicia." I smirked, watching her face darken.
"I'll try, I will give it my best shot." She said looking unsure.
I picked up three stashes of dollars and handed it over to her. "Not today, I really am not in the mood."
She knew what would happen if I got upset, she knew me very well.
"Thank you Vince." Alicia said as she stood up, from the VIP lounge I had rented out for just me.
My eyes went back to the redhead, that was hell-bent on drinking herself to death. She must have noticed someone was staring, because she turned around and our eyes met.
She walked up to the VIP lounge and sat directly opposite me and continued drinking. I could perceive the stench of alcohol on her. My men made a move to take her out but I signalled them to let her be.
"You really have some nerve, you know." I said out loud to her, because of the loud music. "Can't you see that this space is reserved?"
"I do not see anyone, apart from the bad man talking to me right now." She said.
"Did you just call me a bad man indirectly?" This night was definitely going to be an exciting one.
"All men are bad!" The drunk woman continued. "You are a man, so automatically that makes you a bad person."
She poured the last drops of Captain Jack liquor into her shot glass and called a waiter to bring one more for her. That was her second bottle for the night, I had been observing her.
"I think you have had enough, you should head back home." I said in a firm tone.
"Why?" She laughed out loud. "Because I'm a woman? Why don't you tell that to your fellow man?"
She pointed at a man who had gotten wasted, at the entrance of the club.
I shook my head. "Why are yo...."
"Shhhh." She hushed me. " You talk too much."
My head was spinning at this point. I could not believe my ears.
"Be my therapist for the night, I'll tell you how I feel. All you have to do is sit there and nod like a good boy."
I touched my pocket, feeling if my gun was still in the right position. She could be a spy from my enemy or a gang eyeing my position. There was no way I would let my guard down.
"Sure, how much do I get paid for that?" I asked, taking a closer look at her facial features.
"$100."
She looked proud and I almost laughed out loud, but one of my men interrupted us.
"Boss." He stopped, but I gestured for him to continue. "There is no need to fly over to Russia, our men handled the situation."
"Does that mean, I have tonight and tomorrow morning free?" I asked him, before focusing my gaze on her.
"Yes boss."
"You can leave." I dismissed him.
"Can we start the therapy session now?"
"Sure." She looked upset. "How do you deal with someone you're engaged to cheating on you?"
"Are you paying me for answers too?"
"Haha! Someone is very greedy!!! Fine, I'll pay."
"Kill them, but do it slowly. If you have the time, you should skin them alive." I told her honestly.
Her eyes lit up, then dimmed when she processed it. "Do you mean that literally?"
"My clients interpret my words in different ways, do whatever works for you."
"What if you've given your all to that person? Will you still skin someone who is with your heart?" She looked sad as she asked.
"I'll take my all back and yes, I'll skin them without thinking twice. I can't forgive a friend who betrays me."
"You are a bad therapist! Can I change your job?" She was pouting after asking that question, making me wonder what was on her mind.
"Pay me first."
"Humphhh!" She passed five hundred dollar bills to me. "Can you make me forget him for the night?"
My eyes twitched, I was certain she did not just ask me to do that.
"What?"
"Make me forget about that bastard that cheated on me, I don't care how you do it."
"We are from two different worlds, I don't think we should be involved in any way." I warned her.
"I can see and feel you." She said, moving closer and running her fingers on my arm. "I'm pretty sure you can see me too, so what world are you talking about?"
She reeked of alcohol but still had a faint scent of lavender on her and the proximity between us was making my cock get hard.
"Are you going to pay me for that too?" I had no idea why I was asking dumb questions.
She smiled, revealing her pearly whites. "You like money way too much."
"The world respects money."
"I'm out of cash but I can get some more in the morning, unless you prefer a transfer...do you?" She asked, lifting her brows.
"No, I'll take cash." This was spontaneous, but life shouldn't be boring. "How do I make you forget him?"
"Fuck me." She barely whispered.
I smiled and pretended not to hear. "What was that?"
"Fuck me, handsome!!" Her voice was slightly raised now.
I thought for a split second. If I left her here in this vulnerable state, someone else would take advantage of her.
I picked up my phone and made a call.
"Make everyone leave, Phil."

When our family empire crumbled, my sister and I were sold off as collateral to the Chicago Outfit.
My fierce sister Frankie was forced to marry Damien Moretti, the terrifying Don. I was shackled to his brother Leo, a notorious, degenerate playboy.
I thought my life was over, but the real nightmare began on our wedding night. A terrified maid handed me the wrong room key. Exhausted and numb, I crawled into a dark honeymoon suite, praying my new husband would be too drunk to find me.
Instead, the heavy door opened, and a man fueled by a drug-laced drink stepped in. He was ruthless, punishing, and entirely stripped away my dignity in the pitch black.
When the morning light finally broke, I turned my head, expecting to see Leo's boyish face. Instead, I saw a profile carved from ice.
Damien Moretti. The Don. My sister's husband.
The very man who had previously called me a "liability" and ruined my life. When he realized who I was, his eyes filled with absolute, chilling disgust. He dragged me out of the ruined sheets, threw me onto the floor of a freezing shower, and demanded to know why I had sneaked into his suite.
"You ruined me. How am I supposed to look at Frankie? You should have just killed me. Kill me now, Damien. It would be a mercy compared to this."
I sobbed, the freezing water mingling with my tears. He just stared down at me with cold, unreadable intent. I was now trapped in a house of monsters, carrying the Don's darkest secret, and I had to figure out how to survive without destroying my sister.

I was only fifteen when my venomous family orchestrated my doom by forcing me into an arranged marriage with mafia heir Javier Velasquez.
On our wedding night, Javier paraded strippers into our suite to show his absolute contempt, turning me into the ultimate joke of the underworld overnight.
But being a joke was a luxury compared to what came next.
Three years later, Javier needed to be a widower to marry into a heavily armed family and secure their backing for a coup.
He didn't grant me the mercy of a bullet.
Instead, he dragged me to an abandoned underground safehouse, locked me in the damp, rotting dark, and told the world I had been assassinated.
For six months, I starved in that dungeon, surviving only on the desperate hope that my family was safe.
Then, on the day of his lavish new wedding, a cruel maid kicked a plate of spoiled food onto my floor and delivered the final, fatal blow.
"Annabel is dead. Pined away and died of a broken heart two weeks ago."
My gentle mother was dead, all because she actually believed his lie about my tragic murder.
Driven by pure agony and an all-consuming hatred, I shattered crates of smuggled chemical solvents and struck a match, letting the roaring inferno turn their bloody wedding into my funeral pyre.
I thought the fire was the end.
But when I opened my eyes, the suffocating smoke vanished, replaced by the biting chill of a Long Island winter.
I was standing in the snow, back on the exact day my descent into hell began.
This time, the terrified girl was dead, and I would use their own ruthless rules to tear their empire apart.

"Don't you dare touch me. You bloody monster," Eric whispered glaring at me, which only turned me on the more.
A beautiful smile crossed my lips; luckily for us, his fake mother was so focused on Katherine, she did not know I was fucking her son before her eyes.
"So I am now a monster, huh? That was not what you said yesterday. Or have you forgotten about our hot night?" I asked as I traced my way to his lap again, approaching his groin area.
He swallowed hard, his eyes roaming around. "Damien. I am Katherine's fiancé. your niece" He reminded me as my hands reached his groan, caressing it through the layers of his trousers.
"Yesterday you were Mike's boyfriend, and what did I tell you? I don't give a fuck!," I whispered back. "Now be quiet and try to control yourself" .

I am a top-tier assassin. My ultimate target is Apollo Buck, the ruthless billionaire head of the Ninth Circle, known in the underworld as Thanatos.
To infiltrate his impenetrable fortress, I used his dying nephew as bait, disguising myself as a pathetic, terrified janitor with a ghost identity.
It worked. But Apollo has a deadly secret: a cursed Wyvern mark that makes him violently despise women. Yet, the moment his skin touched mine, his agonizing pain vanished. Obsessed with this unnatural peace, he dragged me into his heavily guarded estate. But when night fell, the trembling maid vanished. I broke into his exclusive club to slit his throat, only to realize I had walked straight into a trap.
The real Thanatos was waiting for me. We engaged in a brutal fight on the roof. His strength was inhuman, and he nearly killed me, slashing my thigh open with a combat knife.
How did he anticipate my every move? And why did his murderous rage suddenly falter the second he smelled the cheap mints crushed in my pocket?
Bleeding out, I barely managed to scale his electrified fence and crawl back into my oversized maid uniform just as he kicked my bedroom door off its hinges.
"Don't shoot! Please!"
I sobbed hysterically, perfectly masking my agonizing combat wound as sheer terror. As Apollo grabbed my collar, desperately searching for the assassin who had just fought him, he only saw a fragile, trembling girl. The hunt had just begun.
