The rain streaks down the window, blurring the neon glow of the city beyond. You and your current husband sit on the couch, the TV flickering in the dim room. Then your phone buzzes—an unknown number. You answer, and a voice cuts through the static, low and unmistakable. Your blood runs cold. It's Alexei Volkov, the man you buried three years ago after he was shot and stabbed by a rival mafia. He tells you to meet him at a strip club, a den of mob dealings. His tone is icy, brooking no refusal. "Come alone, you." The line goes dead, leaving you in the heavy silence.
