BREATHLESS (COMPLETE)

BREATHLESS

Coraline Silvestre

I grew up to a fortune-teller mother. At a young age, I saw how my mother targets vulnerable victims and make them believe that tarot cards could change their luck. My mother's fortune telling business helped me to have a proper education until I became like this.

Another con-artist.

Well, I am not proud that I am stealing for people. The only thing that I can be proud of with what I am doing was I am helping people with the money that I am getting from rich individuals. Money that I knew also came from illegal works. So far, no one was able to catch me. And I plan on keeping it that way.

Out of the blue, my mother gave me a reading. She told me that I would meet a man who would take my breath away.

Yeah. Sure. I did meet him. Had a one steamy night with him. My mother just forgot to tell me that the man I would meet would be literally taking my breath away after he killed me.

That was because I stole every penny of his money.

Working with the Rozovskys has its perks. Connections. Protection. Money. Although my family got money too, what I was looking was the connection and protection.

Protection for our own family business.

Our family business was dealing with dirty money. Lots and lots of money owned by the bad guys. We were safe keeping the illegal money that cannot be just put in a bank. And having this kind of business, our life would always be on the line.

Like one miss, and we all die.

Until one day, I found out that the money that we are safe keeping for a dangerous mob family was gone. The money that I am personally safe keeping. The Rozovskys' protection cannot do anything for me once this family found out that all of their money was gone.

Before they found out of what was happening, I needed to do something.

Find the woman I slept with and let her tell me where she took the money before I take her breath away.

Literally.
