Summary
One meeting in a dingy bar on the cheap side of town. One sighting of you. The raw sadness in your eyes drew Valeria in. A parasite attracted to the taste of your tears. She'll chew you up and spit you out, but what she doesn't realise is you bite back.

Summary
It’s the height of the cocaine boom. Gritty, flashy, hedonistic, and full of cocaine. Palm trees and neon lights. When negotiations with one of the most notorious Romanian mob families go awry, they lose at least ten million dollars worth of coke stolen and used. How do you atone for the sins of someone else’s mistake? How do you pay back the most notorious woman in the country alone? Simple. You can’t, not without offering something worthwhile.
Sunshine. Palm Trees. White lines. White lies.
***
“Are you telling me she is worth ten million dollars of Coke?” Her voice cuts through like ice, yet it is rich in timbre and smooth.Silver-like eyes fall on you, inspecting, carnivorous and predatory like. Different than at the diner. The snap of her finger. You’re thrust towards her. She grips your chin. Her tongue roved the inside of her mouth. You stare up at her, terrified, confused, and queasy, feeling the day's heat seeping through the desolate warehouse's walls. Your legs quivering beneath.
“I’ll keep her as collateral.”

Summary
It was the first time that the lady of the house had noticed you - properly that is. Not to insult her memory, or her in general, but you doubt she cared much about you when she hired you (judging by the flippant tone in which she conducted your interview). This - this - was the first time she had properly noticed you; and, it had been an accident.
Or, when you accidentally insult Lady Dimitrescu and she gives you increasingly impossible tasks (and gets soft on you in the process).

Summary
Five years on from a tumultuous divorce, a string of misfortunes lands you at the doorstep of your estranged ex-wife.
She has it all: the house, the kids, a successful career, while your life lies in tatters. Abandoned by friends and lovers through your own terrible choices, she is the only one left to whom you can turn.
With the ghosts of your shared past ever-present, the idea of reconciliation seems absurd - no, impossible. What could possibly be salvaged from the wreckage of a marriage so volatile, so fundamentally broken?
***
"Do you even remember why you married me in the first place, Alcina?"
"I remember why I divorced you. I'm reminded every time I look at your damn face," she spits. "You're completely insufferable."
"Charming. I was about to say the very same thing."
