"What's her name?"
"Alice."
"Last name?"
"I'm not comfortable sharing that," Jenny replied, feeling a sense of pride for skillfully handling each question with a plausible answer. Years spent working with the Bloody Sapphire had honed her ability to lie. The woman scrutinized her again, a subtle change in her demeanor, but the man remained impassive. Jenny realized it was the woman she needed to persuade.
"Right, but what are we supposed to think about you wearing shoes that cost more than my monthly rent?" she asked. "It's not just about money; I recognize that label. Only someone with real connections would wear shoes like that."
Jenny winced inwardly, regretting her choice of shoes that morning. The truth was that she had stolen them after a job. The woman didn't need to know that—she was dead. No one in the Bloody Sapphire had re

Straightening her back, she tilted her chin upward. The bar had fallen completely silent, as if everyone was watching the exchange between them. The couple at the bar stood there, nearly slack-jawed, captivated by the interaction."Out of town," she stated with confidence, delivering it like she was providing an address and zip code. Not wanting to share her personal history or background aligned perfectly with her story about running from an abusive ex, so she committed to it."That explains a lot, Georgina Wilson," he remarked, stroking his chin. His cold eyes softened slightly, a hint of amusement flickering in his expression. She felt compelled to stand taller. "Because any girl from around here would know what you just said is completely audacious.""Audacious?" Jenny echoed, nearly rolling her eyes. Of course a gang leader would use vocabulary she'd encountered in SAT prep."Yes," he answered, his voice shifting from weary to smooth and low. "Any girl from around here would unde

Jenny arrived at the bar promptly at five the following morning. To her surprise, Malia was already inside, bustling around the empty room despite the fact that the bar wouldn't open for over six hours. She knocked on the door, peering through the small window to catch Malia's attention."You're late," Malia said instantly as she opened the window. Jenny glanced down at her watch, noting it was just one minute past five."I was here—" she began, but the venomous glance Malia shot her made her words falter. "Sorry," Jenny amended quickly, "I'll be on time tomorrow.""We'll see if there is a tomorrow," Malia replied, moving behind the bar and slamming a clipboard onto the surface. The loud noise echoed in the empty space, and Jenny settled onto a bar stool in front of it."Up," Malia ordered without meeting Jenny's eyes. Jenny stood, having consciously opted for a simple pair of white slip-on shoes instead of her expensive sneakers this time. She wore a plain black t-shirt and comfortab

Malia handed Jenny a bottle of water, and Jenny took what felt like her first break of the day. She drank it all in one go, quickly feeling nauseous from the sudden intake. After a moment of steadying herself, she reached into the pocket of the apron Malia had given her and pulled out the wad of cash she had collected as tips.Holding it out to Malia, she watched as Malia raised an eyebrow, glancing first at the money and then at Jenny. "What?" Malia asked, taking a sip of her water. "You want me to blow on it for good luck or something?"Jenny blinked, glancing down at the money in her hand before looking back at Malia."Oh," she said, pulling the cash back slightly. "I thought we would split the tips, or you could take them...""That's your money," Malia replied firmly. "Never let anyone take the money you've worked hard for. You need it, right?" Jenny nodded. "Then keep that tucked away and don't let anyone see it. When you're working, keep that in your bra. Don't go flaunting wads

"I didn't catch his name," she admitted, glancing at the table. "But the woman's name is Malia. I'll gather more information tomorrow; she asked me to come in bright and early for my first shift.""That's great," Julius responded, and she could hear sheets rustling around him. She imagined him in his large, warm bed, and a longing for it crept in. Despite the discomfort and pain she had experienced there, it was a place she had spent considerable time since joining the Bloody Sapphire."He was intimidating," she continued, shifting in her seat and bringing her knee up, resting her chin on it while staring over the empty living room. "I think I handled him okay. I spoke with him trying to be confident, but it felt like he could change his mind and throw me out at any moment. He might even be scarier than Romano, or perhaps intimidating in a different way."Jenny was surprised by Julius's laughter, a sound so gentle and familiar over the phone that she raised her other hand to cradle he

As she lowered the knife, Dolf gave her a few light taps on the small of her back, his gaze intense. Public displays of affection were not their style, particularly in the bar, where other members of the Dark Wolves and patrons might notice. Dolf's subtle taps served as a signal that if they were alone, he would be doing far more than simply watching her.Malia grinned and shifted away, redirecting her focus to the bar top she was cleaning. Meanwhile, 'Georgina' had moved to sweeping beneath the booths—an infrequent task. Ever since Georgina started working there, the establishment had become the cleanest spot on the block.Malia sighed, glancing back at Dolf. "She's a hard worker," she reaffirmed, catching him staring at her. When their eyes met, he quickly shifted his gaze to her face, grinning sheepishly. Rolling her eyes, Malia turned back to Georgina, secretly enjoying the attention from Dolf. "That's all I said. I didn't imply that I think she's trustworthy."As a group of men e

Jenny found herself on her hands and knees, scrubbing a particularly stubborn sticky spot on the floor behind the bar. It appeared that someone had dripped a mixer there ages ago and left it to settle, turning it into an unwelcome, permanent blemish. She scrubbed until her shoulder throbbed and her arm felt numb, but her determination only sharpened. All she could think about was getting that spot off the floor.Though she was bent over with her backside in the air, Jenny didn't have to worry about unwanted stares or lewd comments from the men in the bar. For one, most tended to leave her alone, and for another, the place was emptier than she'd ever seen it. Aside from a solitary elderly man sitting across the room, the bar was vacant.After what felt like an eternity of scrubbing, she finally struggled to her feet and glanced over at Malia, who was leaning against the counter, scrolling through her phone. Although Jenny owned a phone, it was only for contacting Julius or other member

"I don't know," Jenny said, glancing down at her feet. "I suppose, after everything I've been through, I just wanted to believe there was such a thing as a good found family. A group where I could belong—one that would be loyal, protective, and accepting of me, scars and all.""What scars?" Malia asked, her expression brightening as she laughed lightly. "Your skin looks perfect. I don't even see any shaving nicks on your legs."Jenny swallowed hard, weighing her options. The skin on her back itched, and without a word, she turned to grasp the hem of her t-shirt. This could help her gain Malia's trust, a way to communicate what she had to lose if she couldn't connect with the Wolves—even if Malia didn't fully grasp the extent of it.Taking a deep, steadying breath, Jenny lifted her shirt, pulling it past her bra. She wondered whether the older man at the bar had dozed off or if he was watching this peculiar scene unfold with curiosity. She couldn't help but think about what someone mig

Jenny stared at her in disbelief, her thoughts of learning more about Alexander momentarily forgotten as the revelation of Malia and Dolf's relationship sank in. Malia chuckled almost maniacally at the expression on Jenny's face."I... I had no idea," Jenny stammered, baffled by how she could have overlooked the romantic connection between them. They spent so much time together at the bar, but their expressions were often so stiff and angry that she hadn't imagined they could be affectionate with anyone, let alone each other. She puzzled over whether her failure to notice the signs was a reflection of her less-than-stellar espionage skills.Malia's previous remarks set in, prompting Jenny to shake her head and raise a hand. Although Malia had been somewhat distant at first, Jenny had experienced her kindness in small ways since she began working at the bar—offering lotion, reminding her to wear gloves, assisting with closing duties, and even suggesting she leave early for an extra hou

One year later."Thank you for coming," the lawyer said, glancing down at his paperwork while adjusting his predictably dull brown suit. Alexander sat beside Jenny, comforting her with a squeeze of her hand. Both were dressed more formally than necessary for the occasion, as they had a significant event to attend afterward."I understand it's been nearly a year since the passing of Eduardo, Jessica, and Julius Swift. We appreciate your patience while we collaborated with the police and other authorities to settle the estate. We are now prepared to proceed with the distribution."Alexander offered Jenny a reassuring squeeze of her hand and exchanged a supportive glance before she turned her attention back to the lawyer, eager to hear what she stood to inherit from her parents."Eduardo Swift's will stated that his entire estate was to be passed on to his wife, Sharon. However, due to her absence during the initial sorting, the estate was set to enter the public domain. Fortunately, a r

As Alexander finally stepped into the room, he laid eyes on Jenny for the first time in days. Guilt had overwhelmed him, fearing she might not survive the attack. He was both shocked and awed by Jenny's bravery when she pushed him aside and took those bullets with such courage. Never before had he witnessed such an act of selflessness, especially from someone so close to him.Alexander replayed the day's events repeatedly, haunted by the memory of Jenny being shot three times by Jessica, who was supposed to be her sister. But then again, Alexander considered, no one in her adoptive family had truly been family to her, except perhaps her mother.He often wondered if he could have acted differently but always arrived at the same conclusion. Jenny was unpredictable—a trait he admired but which also made it difficult for him to protect her from those who wished her harm, particularly Bloody Sapphire and her adoptive family.He could never grasp their family dynamic. How could they treat h

Consciousness rushes back to Jenny like a tidal wave. It's as if she's awakened in the midst of a snowstorm, or as if her body is engulfed in flames. Every nerve in her body screams, reminding her she's alive. Alive.Once the initial flood of overwhelming sensations subsides, she begins to notice the details in the room. First, she feels a smooth, small hand in hers, then hears the rhythmic beeping of a heart monitor to her right. The scent of antiseptic fills the air, and she suddenly realizes her mouth is incredibly dry."Water?" she croaks, managing to pry her eyes open, finding Malia standing above her, her hand shaking in Jenny's."Oh my god," Malia exclaims, turning and shouting into the hallway. Jenny flinches back into the pillow, unable to catch all of what Malia says, but it results in a swarm of medical professionals entering, all looking perplexed. Jenny feels like joking about the gunshots being a surprise to her, too, but her dry mouth prevents her from speaking properly

"But—" Jenny began as Jessica lifted the gun toward her. She raised her hands in a gesture to halt Jessica. Her plan would fail miserably if Jessica shot her now, something she might actually do. Jenny glanced at Nancy and Luther, the guilt almost overwhelming. If they hadn't met her, they wouldn't be caught in this tragedy. Drawing a deep breath, she steadied herself."Let them go.""What?" Jessica said, her tears momentarily halting as unkempt hair fell across her shoulder. It was nothing like her usually impeccable style."Listen," Jenny urged, closing her eyes. "There's a safe behind that painting. It holds enough money to give you the life you dream of."Jenny had discovered the safe one day while cleaning and had hurried out to keep Alexander from knowing she saw it. She had once watched him access the safe, revealing stacks of cash and gold."If you release them," Jenny continued, sensing Jessica was listening intently. "I'll tell you the code. Alexander shared it with me in ca

Meanwhile, Jenny arrived back at the sprawling log mansion, which served as Alexander's secluded retreat for himself, his most trusted allies, his mother Nancy, and Luther. Her heart tightened with worry at the thought of innocent, defenseless Luther. It was her fault he was caught in this predicament. She needed to act quickly to save that precious boy; otherwise, nothing would ever be the same for anyone involved.She hurriedly stepped out of the car she had commandeered and sprinted along the path toward the mansion's entrance. Gazing up at the moon, she whispered a silent prayer for Luther, recalling the sparkle in his eyes and his sweet, warm smile, before stepping into whatever chaos awaited beyond those doors.A wave of dread washed over her as she entered. The mansion was littered with fallen guards. Moving quietly into the foyer, she navigated around Alexander's fallen crew, careful and respectful of the somber scene.A soft, choked sob emanated from the center of the mansion

"As soon as I'm done with work," Alexander had reassured him, wrapping Luther in a warm embrace. "I'll come right back. You and me, we'll go fishing, okay?"Luther nodded, hugged him tightly, and told him to enjoy his fishing trip. Alexander kissed his head, oblivious to the idea that someone might find Luther there. He reproached himself now for not fortifying security, knowing he had plenty of enemies. What had he said to Jenny about it?"People with a lot of enemies are usually crushed under that weight. People with a lot of enemies sometimes get set on fire."The vision of his home, his son, and his mother in flames filled him with blinding rage and anxiety. He shoved past a few allies in his haste, knowing he'd apologize later, once he knew Luther was safe. Few in the Dark Wolves, apart from Lemuel, Malia, and Dolf, even knew of his son. Rushing past Anton on a stretcher, Alexander couldn't focus on anyone other than Luther.He skidded to a halt in front of his SUV just as his ph

"Yeah," Alexander replies, moving behind the bar in search of a good bottle of whiskey. Lemuel settles onto one of the barstools. Meanwhile, their team continues rolling up bodies and taking them to the incinerator they had discovered—likely used by the Bloody Sapphire for disposing of their unwanted. It's a more discreet option than transporting truckloads of bodies to the river with dawn approaching."He must have caught wind," Alexander speculates, shaking his head as he pours their drinks. Even though the operation went as smoothly as planned, he can't shake the feeling that something is missing. He knows he won't rest until the head of this adversarial group is found and eliminated.Just then, Alexander spots a shadow moving stealthily through an upper area of the tavern he hadn't noticed before. Without a second thought, he raises his gun and fires, certain that none of their men would move with such secrecy. If they had discovered access to a concealed upper floor, they would h

The Bloody Sapphire were taken completely by surprise when Alexander and his team arrived at their location shortly after three in the morning. They had sent two men ahead to release poison gas into the tavern, with Lemuel assisting the team in fitting their sleek gas masks securely before they entered, allowing the gas time to disperse.Inside, nearly every man in the main area of the bar was found slumped over tables or crumpled on the floor. Alexander's team swiftly eliminated them with silenced bullets, avoiding any unnecessary delays. True to his promise, Alexander ensured the women were left unharmed. He noticed them collapsed over the men, some unconscious with a man's hand inappropriately placed.The women were carefully removed from the pile of bodies and moved to the side, where they were handcuffed to a radiator, in case any harbored loyalties to their group. After the situation was controlled, they planned to bring Jenny in to speak with them, hoping they would recognize h

Jenny catches a glimpse of Dolf and Julius still clashing across the room but disregards them as she lunges at her father's legs, knocking him down hard. She hears the sound of his chin hitting the ground along with a muffled curse before scrambling back on top of him. This time, she aims for his eyes, but he raises his forearms to block her fingers. A primal rage surges through her, a tidal wave of anger.As she lashes out, the memories of all he's put her through flood her mind: Julius's assault, the constant surveillance from the bodyguards, his refusal to believe her even when the truth was self-evident, blaming her for her mother's death, and punishing her by sending her to work for the Bloody Sapphire as if it were an appropriate response.Jenny rains down her fists and elbows upon him, aware that she's screaming but feeling disconnected from the sound escaping her throat. She feels like a whirlwind, a tornado, a storm poised to engulf him. She wants him to experience every ounc
