Valerie's eyes gleamed with determination as she spoke to the Mafia boss. "I want you to take Sophia back," she said her voice firm.

I gave Alex my words that if he meets his end of the bargain, I would stay out of his business, and he has done just as I asked, so I wouldn't want to steal his precious Sophia from him."

"So why does that matter? Aren't you a criminal? Besides, since when do criminals keep to their words?" Valerie retorted. "Just get the job done."
