Part 2: The storm did not let up all night. The pit creaked as if the entire mountain were breathing above Alma’s head. Snow piled up above, sealing the mouth of the shelter, extinguishing any trace of the outside world. Inside, the air was thin and damp. The small fire she had managed to light…
“I’ve come to collect the debt you owe my mother,” the girl told the mafia boss… The girl stood in front of the iron gate of the man whom the whole city feared. She had nothing with her except a soaking wet teddy bear and an address written on a piece of paper that the…
Part 1 —The president’s daughter ordered you to leave today. At 3 p.m., in the analysis area of Group, the thud of a folder hitting the desk sounded like a gunshot inside the office. Camila slowly looked up. In front of her stood Thomas, the data manager, a man who barely held a mid-level position…
