“I want my wife,” Miguel says with determination in his voice. “We’re going to make a baby Marina.”

I rolled on top of Miguel and straddle him. I Then looked in his eyes as he entered me. I kept reminding myself that I won’t be doing this much longer and by the time it is over, he’ll likely pay the steep price.

The next morning was one spent in silence for the most part. We had breakfast quickly, which is where I made a pathetic attempt to ask my husband to ensure he was home for dinner. After Miguel said he would, he got up and kissed me on the forehead quickly before leaving.

I wasted no time in asking Ed to take me to the warehouse. I smiled to see that SAM was waiting for me.

“Here’s the file. I saw that the list was extensive. It encompasses Adonis Construction, Alpha Galleries, Newwek Records and even Blue Metals. Are these all the companies that Lorenzo is putting pressure on?”

“Yes,” I confirm. “They’re paying him on a regular basis. SAM, I want you to find out what he has on each of these companies and get back to me as soon as you can.”

“I can do that,” SAM confirms. “Do you want me to stay for the meeting with Ice?”

“Yes I do,” I quickly replied. “I want purchase a case of glocks, 22, and some semi automatics. Does she still move diamonds?”

SAM nods to answer my question.

“Marina, you weren’t kidding about getting revenge.”

“No,” I say with a serious look on my face. “I’m getting in so deep this time that the only way out is dead. My plan is to open the dock and control the importing occurring there on Thursday.”

The intercom buzzed, distracting me from my current thought process. I’m told that Ice has arrived and I asked that she be sent in immediately. She walked in and sat across from me after we shook hands.

“Good to see you Ice,” I say. “I need to know if you can get me the following things. I need 100 glocks, 50. 22 and 100 semi automatics.”

Without batting an eye, Ice agrees to provide me with the laundry list of items I rattled off.
