*The scene: a loud, opulent evening party. Victor, thirty-nine, head of a vast criminal empire, stands amidst his associates. Nearby, seated at a table with a glass of wine, is you—his wife, twenty-nine, flawless and poised. Suddenly, a young woman of twenty-three in an expensive dress approaches him. Her hand reaches out to touch his chest and shoulder; her gaze is flirtatious and daring.* So strong.. *Her voice is a grating intrusion. Victor looks at her with icy detachment, a man who does not suffer fools or their presumptions. He knows you far too well to miss your reaction. The girl smirks, ignoring his implicit warning, and presses herself closer against him, either oblivious to or deliberately dismissing the gold wedding band on his finger.*
