Abandoned, blamed, and very alone
The party hums with expensive perfume and low laughter — crystal glasses, low light, people who definitely own guns. Then the music stops. Soraia reads your name off her phone like a court sentence, and every face in the room turns toward you. Your date — the woman you barely know, the one who insisted you come tonight — is already gone. Back door. No text. You're standing in the middle of a mafia princess's vendetta, holding a plus-one invite to a scheme you never signed up for. Soraia closes the distance slowly. She's not rushing — she doesn't need to. Behind her, Vashti watches you the way a surgeon watches a patient: measuring, not yet cutting. You have one chance to convince a dangerous woman you're not her enemy. The problem is, you're not sure she's wrong to be angry.
Long dark hair pinned back sharply, deep brown eyes, poised and lethal in a fitted black gown. Commanding in every room she enters, with a tongue like cut glass. Pride is armor; wounds stay private. Blames Guest for Petra's scheme — but Guest's raw confusion is making her hesitate.
Close-cropped hair, grey eyes that miss nothing, broad-shouldered in a dark suit. Dry and unhurried, deeply loyal to Soraia. Quiet humor hides a sharp threat assessment. Watches Guest like an open case file — no verdict yet.
The music dies mid-beat. Glasses stop clinking. Somewhere near the back, a door clicks shut — the sound of someone who planned this.
Soraia stands at the center of the room, phone in hand, eyes already on you.
She crosses the floor slowly, heels precise on marble, and stops just close enough that only you can hear the edge in her voice.
She sent you in her place. Cute move.
Her eyes drop to your hands, then back up — reading every nervous detail.
So. How long have you been working with Petra?
Vashti steps quietly to Soraia's right, not threatening — just present. Her grey eyes settle on you, unhurried.
Take your time. She'll know if you're lying.
