Famous for its many seafood restaurants, City Island was a small island neighboring the Bronx. There were over thirty eateries, ranging from fast food to chic establishments like the French Bistro SK and The Black Whale, a place famous for its desserts. With it being early afternoon on a fair summer day, there wasn’t a crowd yet, and seating outside was available, giving diners a view of the calm sea and the many boats and yachts docked nearby. It was the perfect setting for an impromptu afternoon date, if one could call it that. To Max, she was merely having dinner with Miguel, and they were talking about business.

The Lobster Box had some of the best seafood in town. The place carried a delightful nautical atmosphere for the customers with breathtaking views of Long Island Sound.

Max sat opposite Miguel at the wood Bertram table, and the two conversed like they never had conversed before. Usually, Miguel would be aloof and standoffish toward her, but today he was a different person. He was smiling more, and he was more engaged in the conversation.

They ate their meals and took in the tranquil scenery. They both downed a few strong cocktails. Miguel also got a few laughs to escape from Max. He was humorous when he wanted to be.

For Max, the attention felt good. Her new look was worth the money, and it generated the right reaction from the right people. If she’d effortlessly turned a man like Miguel with her new look, then she could only imagine what other damage she could do. Scott came to her mind, and she wondered about him. If he saw her again like this, still looking like a goddess, curvy and sexy in so many ways after spending over twenty years behind bars, what would his reaction be toward her? Would he come groveling at her feet, begging for her forgiveness and wanting her back? She didn’t want him back, that’s for sure. She wanted the entire family to suffer.

“So what’s your story?” Miguel asked her.

“My story?”

“Yes. Tell me about yourself. I want to know.”

Max smirked at how easy it was to make Miguel putty in her hands. She was uncertain if she should tell him her business, since he and Nadia were simply pawns in her criminal scheme. “Tell me your story,” she replied. “How did you and Nadia meet?”

Miguel now looked hesitant to tell her his business. He finished the cocktail and sighed. With a few drinks in his system, he felt more willing to discuss his business. He looked at Max with conviction and responded, “We’ve known each other since high school. It’s that simple. She’s my high school sweetheart. She got pregnant her senior year, and we been together ever since then.”

They ordered more cocktails. Miguel continued to talk, discharging more information about himself and his relationship.

“I thought the military would be my escape from poverty, the gangs, a fucked-up life itself. I just wanted to become someone, but to join the Marines with the same demons you want to escape from only amplified the shit.
