Mercedes 'Coochie' Gomez is THE stripper to watch at Tequila; a famous nightlife spot in the heart of Los Angeles. She seemingly has it all - a voluptuous body, a pretty face and the favor of the wealthy club goers. But, what no one knows is that Mercedes is a choiceless slave, tied for life to Aleksandr Matiç, owner of Tequila and Russian Mob boss, as collateral for a debt her late parents couldn't repay. Now, though, she has caught the eye of another Mafia Don, Fabrizio Colpani. Torn between Aleksandr, the ruthless creditor who wants her for a wife and Fabrizio, the pervert who sees her as an object of entertainment, Mercedes chooses freedom and love with Giovanni, Fabrizio's son. But, this decision opens her and her lover up to many tricky, dicey and dangerous situations, amidst the fierce determination of Aleksandr and Fabrizio to have her at any cost.
View MoreIt had been a hectic day, to say the least, for Doctor Deona Fernando. Just that day, she'd had to deal with:A couple who’d come with seven children to get a DNA test; the man was raging, and upon inquiry, she discovered that he'd caught his wife of 11 years in bed with another man. And so, he'd come with all his children to decipher whether or not they were really his or if they were someone else's. The results were to be out in 5 days, but she was sure that if indeed the children turned out not to be the man's, there'd undoubtedly be hell at the hospital.A young lady who'd come with her sister and came to run a test due to how unwell she'd been feeling only to discover that she had been infected with staphylococcus.A woman who came and was pleading for the baby in her womb to be aborted, as she was a week away from her wedding and had just discovered that she was pregnant due to careless sex on the night of her bachelorette party. She was told that abortions weren't permitted by
“Happy eighteenth birthday to you, Amy..”Aunt Sarah said with a tinge of regret in her voice as she stood uncertainly by the door that led into the teenager's bedroom with a freshly baked, sweet-smelling cake in her hands.Amy, who was in a hoodie and baggy pants and had previously been on her bed, lying on her back and staring endlessly at the ceiling, raised her head a little to see her aunt in her baker's jacket and Barrett. It cracked her up a little, and she thought to make a small joke.“Thanks, Aunt Sarah... However, is the occasion worth the attire?”Sarah laughed harder than expected, not because the joke was ripping her ribs apart but because the whole situation was a very awkward, sad one and she was intensely nervous, so hearing Amy making light of a situation that was not hilarious at all was somewhat relieving for her as she hadn't known what to expect when she decided to make her way to Amy's room.“Come on in,” Amy beckoned to her, waving her in with a gesture of her
“Well, I've never really thought about it before... I've just been working and moving forward. Always thinking about the mission at hand and then the one after that and then the one after that... I've never thought about retirement.”Snyder was finding himself explaining to Bonita the reason why he had never thought about life outside of the FBI.“But.. that's not life, you know? Life is about more than just chasing and catching sickos like Aleksandr... There are family, love, and hobbies... There's a whole lot,” Bonita said. She had now finished bandaging him, and she was sitting opposite him on the bed.“Well, I... I do have a family... A wife... Well, I had a wife. We're separated now. But I have a teenage daughter, Amy,” Snyder said. As he talked about Amy, he smiled a little. Of all the shitty things he'd done in his life, both on and off the job, having Amy was the one thing he had never, ever regretted. She was his only achievement.“A child in her teens? That's great... What
“You all have five seconds each to answer the question I'm about to put forth, boys... And mind you, no lies, because if any of you dare to tell me any... I will make a delightsome example out of that fellow..”Don Fabrizio had gone into the general building and lined up all the men under his roof before him. He was now pacing slowly and methodically before them, his two hands held behind him, and a pistol being brandished in one of them. This was a classic Mafiosi pose, and it was one that was flexed only when there was serious trouble. Lucca stood behind him, a sneer on his face.“Which one of you has been fucking the stripper I stashed upstairs?” Don Fabrizio eventually asked after allowing the tension to build in the minds of his men for a few minutes, because the more afraid they got, the faster the truth would come out.All the men immediately began to look at each other with looks of surprise and innocence on their faces and Don Fabrizio observed them keenly.“I asked a questio
“So... I believe all you've said and I appreciate you saving me from myself, but, but why did you do it? I mean, what you've done for me has essentially made you an enemy to your boss, a man as dangerous as Aleksandr Matiç, and you've done this for me, a heady, nosy FBI Agent who you don't even know. It surely can't be out of the goodness of your heart that you took such a great risk, so why did you do it?”Bonita cracked a smile on her pretty face and leaned forward on her chair before asking cryptically:“Who says I don't know you?”Snyder, now more confused than ever, asked, “Well, do you?”Her reply was simple:“The WestSiders... Human traffickers... Three years ago... Does that ring a bell?”And of course, it did.The WestSiders had been a group of Polish thugs who had been involved in kidnapping and trading young girls to rich and immensely criminal individuals for incredible sums of money. He and Ruby had worked on the case because they had terrorized the city and the case was
“He crumbled like a pack of cards!”Don Fabrizio had been hysterical ever since the meeting the previous night at Tequila, relishing how powerless Aleksandr had been and how he'd been forced to make his men lower their weapons, even if that was the last thing he wanted to do.Right now, he, Gio, and Sensi are on their way to the airport in Don Fabrizio's Lincoln with Gio and Sensi being forced to sit through and listen to Don's laughter“But you realize that if it wasn't for me and Sensi, he might have killed us, no?” Gio asked, bursting his father's bubble.“Well, I knew how valuable you both could be, and that's why I brought you both along. I knew you would have roles to play, and you played them extremely well when the time came. I was pleased,” Don Fabrizio said, sounding proud of them.His tone surprised Gio, who had never gotten any form of approval from his father since he was born. Well, when you save a man's life, you tend to win his trust. However, with Don Fabrizio, one ne
“Only a fool would say he doesn't know the reason for this meeting, and while I'd like to believe that we're all smart, sensible men, I am well aware that fools are everywhere, so I will reiterate this discourse's purpose to us all..”Aleksandr's first words were very brutal, direct and fearless and they drew disgruntled murmurs from the Uomini Marrone men, most notably Sensi, who would've loved nothing more than to be allowed to punch the guts out of this Serbian motherfucker. The men were seated in a VIP section of the club, around a small, round table, with men from each crew sitting directly opposite each other, leaving a noticeable gulf in between them,a clear sign that they were not on the same side.Sensi quickly observed this and summed up that,since Gio was on his far left, if a fight was to break out, he would have adequate support.But this was a meeting for peace, so he kept his opinions to himself and allowed the meeting to flow with Aleksandr, resuming his speech:“I, a
Detective Dan James was standing in his office, holding a picture that was about three years old, which was one of him and Naomi after they'd just returned from a raid.As he looked at the smile she had on her face and the exhaustion that was etched on his, he got emotional and began to tear up. To think that this had only been three years ago and he remembered it so vividly, and to now see how much things had changed since then, with Naomi killing herself and now he cleaning out his locker, quitting the force, and walking away on the job of his dreams, was wild. Who would've thought?After Naomi had seen his daughter, Fiona, on the night when she'd come to his house to kill him, she'd been unable to pull that trigger and she'd given him a final warning before leaving: 'Get out of town for good’. And while he loved his job and didn't relish the idea of leaving it, talk less of leaving the city he'd known all his life, he knew better than to spurn the words of a woman who'd just sacrif
“This is the third day since I handed you the invite from the Serb, Father... You have said nothing about it to me or to anybody else since then... You've simply kept mute and moved about here, pressurizing the still recovering stripper who you kidnapped, who is the unmistakable cause for this meeting, and you have felt comfortable eating, sleeping, and taking shits like there's nothing wrong, when we all know there's something wrong and a goddam war brewing. I.. No, we... We demand a response from you, Father.”Gio was done. Ever since he had shown his father the handwritten note he'd been served by Vlahovic and the rest of the Serbian goons, Don Fabrizio had been stone silent, and now Sensi and Gio had come to interrupt him while he was having a meal of Turkey and a special Italian sauce to go with fries.He looked at his two sons with disdain and took a sip of the wine he had before him with which he'd been washing down the aforementioned combo before saying:“You two have no atom
