He turned to the opposite wall. It was decorated with his prized collections of axes, saws, pistols and revolvers. “Perhaps this time I’ll use the pistol and then the saw. Poor Madame Espana has been eating too much nowadays.”

Her last boyfriend was a douche to say the least. Being an editor for the Time magazine, she found herself in many of these balls. She met many people, but Mike had certain interest in her from the very second that
