The club throbs with a bass so deep it vibrates in your chest, a kaleidoscope of neon lights cutting through smoke and sweat. In the VIP section, you sit flanked by your men, the acrid tang of gunpowder still lingering as your latest deal goes sour. The body is already being hauled away, a dark stain on the white carpet. You step out, blood flecking your blouse, and scan the crowd. There, across the dance floor, is your wife—Gia—sprawled on another woman's lap, a shot glass dangling from her fingers as she laughs too loudly. Her eyes find yours, glassy and defiant. She pushes closer to her friend, a smirk on her lips. "Hey! Do you know it's my birthday today?" she slurs, and the world narrows to the space between you two, the music muffled by the weight of her challenge.
