Confessions of an Elite Prostitute

Chapter 16: Deal with the Devil

I sit in the darkened room, lost in thought. Victor's suggestion of a larger operation never leaves my mind. On the one hand, it's a chance to make a big profit and advance your revenge plans. On the other hand, it's a risk that could cost me my life.

Victor came to me with this proposal on one of the most stressful days. The conflict between Elizabeth and Victor has reached a climax, and the pressure from the police and the press is becoming more palpable. The smell of danger is in the air, and every day feels like the last.

"Anna," Victor says, looking me straight in the eye, " I have a proposal that can change everything. We can organize an operation that will bring us a lot of money. But you must understand that the risks are also great."

I'm silent, considering his words. My head is a whirl of thoughts: can I go for it? Is it worth the risk? And most importantly, how will this affect my plans for revenge?

"I know you're hesitant," Victor continues, as if reading my mind. — But think about what it can do for you. You can not only take revenge, but also secure your future."

His words are tempting, but at the same time dangerous. I think back to all the dark deeds I've already been involved in, and I realize that this will be another step into the abyss.

Still, the need to push ahead with my revenge plans makes me think about going along with it. Could this really be the chance I've been waiting for? Or is this a trap that I can't escape?

I decide to ask Victor a few questions to better understand what's in store for me:"Tell us more about this operation. What kind of risks do you have in mind?"

Victor starts explaining the details. His plan is really large-scale and dangerous. It involves interaction with influential people, participation in smuggling and other illegal activities. I can feel my heart beating faster with excitement and fear.

"Do you realize that if we get caught, the consequences will be disastrous?"

"Yes," Victor replies without a shadow of doubt. "But the reward is worth the risk. We will be able to make so much money that we can get out of this business and start a new life."

These words make me think. A new life... isn't that what I dream of? But will I ever be able to escape from this world of crime and lies?

On the other hand, I remember my revenge plans and realize that money can help me carry them out more effectively. Perhaps this is really the step I need to take to achieve my goals.

After much thought, I decide to agree. Victor smiles at my determination. He knows I made a deal, and now we're bound by a common danger and a common purpose.

But deep down, I know that this deal could be fatal for me. It's like I'm making a pact with the devil, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to get out of it.

As the days pass, we begin to prepare for the operation. Victor assigns roles, explains what needs to be done, and monitors every step. I try not to show my fear, but a storm of contradictions is raging inside me.

Every day I ask myself the question: did I do the right thing by agreeing to this deal? Maybe it was worth giving up and looking for another way? But it's too late to back down now. We are too deeply involved in this plan.

Meanwhile, I continue to follow the events in the brothel and the actions of Michael and Sam. Their investigation is getting closer and closer, and I can feel the danger growing with each passing day.

I try to be careful, but at the same time push our plans forward. I have to balance between different interests, hide my true intentions and pretend that everything is going as usual.

Sometimes I find myself unable to tell right from wrong, truth from falsehood. The world around me seems shaky and unreliable, and I do not know who to trust.

At times like this, I think back to my plans for revenge and why I made this deal. It's like a lighthouse in a raging sea, which helps me not to lose myself and not go off the intended path.

But every day I realize more and more that the price of this revenge may be too high. I can lose not only my freedom, but also my life. And yet I am ready to go to the end, because for me it is a matter of principle, a matter of honor and dignity.

While the operation is being prepared, I live in constant tension. Every day can be my last, and I need to be prepared for any eventuality. But in my heart of hearts, I hope that everything goes smoothly and we can get what we want.

However, I know that hope is a faint light in the dark that can go out at any moment. And I need to be prepared for the fact that a deal with the devil can turn out to be a real disaster for me.

So I live in anticipation of the denouement, in constant fear and hope. I walk forward, not knowing what's waiting for me around the next corner, but determined to finish what I've started. After all, not only my future depends on it, but also the opportunity to finally find peace and, perhaps, true love.

But so far, these are just dreams. And reality is a deal with the devil and a path that can lead me either to the top or to the abyss.

I can feel the tension in the air growing more palpable. Michael Ryan is getting closer to solving the mystery surrounding the brothel and its inhabitants. His tenacity and insight frighten me. I realize that I might be the prime suspect in his investigation, and I start devising a plan to throw the detective off the scent.

The days pass in anxiety and reflection. I keep a close eye on the news, trying to anticipate Michael's actions while trying to solve other problems that constantly arise. The conflict between Elizabeth and Victor continues unabated, and my own plans for revenge require attention and caution.

I understand that I need to act cunningly and prudently. Michael is an experienced detective, and it will not be easy to deceive him. But I'm willing to risk everything to protect myself and my interests.

First of all, I decide to gather as much information as possible about Michael himself. What kind of person is he? What are its weaknesses? What motivates him in this investigation? I instruct my friends to find out about his past, family, and habits. Every detail can be important.

Meanwhile, I continue to watch Michael's actions. He often appears in the area where the brothel is located, talking to people, studying the situation. I try to stay away from places where he might notice me, but at the same time I want to understand what kind of evidence or evidence has caught his attention.

One day, I find out that Michael is interested in one of the brothel's former clients who recently left town. I decide to use this information for my own purposes. Through my channels, I spread the rumor that this client is actually alive and hiding in another state. I'm counting on Michael to get on the wrong track and leave the brothel alone, at least for a while.

At the same time, I am considering how to protect myself from possible charges. I review my notes, destroy potentially dangerous documents, and change some details in my stories that might attract the attention of the police. I know that the slightest mistake can be fatal.

One evening I meet Victor. He is also concerned about Michael's activism and suggests joining forces to protect their interests. We discuss possible strategies, analyze risks and benefits. Victor suggests bribing one of the witnesses or even arranging a false accusation against an innocent person to deflect suspicion from us. I hesitate, because such actions can lead to unpredictable consequences, but at the same time I understand that in our situation all means are good.

"We must act decisively," Victor says, looking me in the eye. "Michael won't stop until he finds out the truth. And the truth can cost us too much.

His words make me think. I know Victor is right, but I still feel bad about the idea of hurting innocent people to save ourselves. Nevertheless, I agree to his plan, knowing that now is not the time for moral reflection.

We develop a detailed action plan and assign roles and responsibilities. I'll take on the task of diverting Michael's attention by putting him on the wrong track, and Victor will organize other aspects of our opposition to the investigation.

Soon I begin to implement my part of the plan. I arrange a few minor incidents in different parts of the city that might attract the attention of the police and distract them from the brothel. I spread rumors that point to the involvement of various marginal groups that are not related to our case.

Every day I live in anticipation of exposure, but at the same time I feel that our measures are working. Michael appears more and more often in places far from the brothel, his attention is scattered. I'm beginning to hope that we can throw him off the scent and buy him time to solve deeper problems.

However, I know that this is only a temporary respite. Michael is a smart and persistent detective, and he will definitely return to the investigation when he has dealt with false leads. So I keep my guard up, develop new defense strategies, and look for weaknesses in our enemies ' positions.

In the back of my mind, I wonder: is all this struggle worth it? Maybe there is another way that will allow me to avoid danger and find true happiness? But right now I don't have an answer to this question. Right now, I have to focus on surviving and protecting my interests.

I continue to move forward, step by step, trying to anticipate each move of the opponent and get ahead of him. My life has become a constant game of cat and mouse, where the price of a mistake is freedom, and possibly life. But I'm ready for this challenge. I have to pass it to have a chance for the future.

Nevertheless, in moments of calm, I often think about my dreams of true love, of being able to start all over again. These thoughts give me strength and hope that one day I will be able to break out of this vicious circle and find my way to happiness. But for now, my path runs through the dark alleys of New York, where every step can be the last.

Still, I don't give up hope. I believe that one day I will be able to put my dark deeds behind me and start a new life. But to do this, I need to survive the current challenges and come out of them victorious. In the meantime, I continue my dangerous game, trying to stay one step ahead of my enemies and fate.
