Irene retired from her career as prima donna at Warsaw's Imperial Opera and now lives in London, where she's publicly known as a former actress.
But that's just her cover story. What actually sustains her is a second life as a courtesan to Europe's richest and most powerful men—royalty, nobility, the kind of people who matter. In those circles, she's simply called "the woman," and everyone knows exactly who that means. It's her real profession, her real face.
The brilliance of Irene's operation is that she doesn't just trade in intimacy; she collects secrets. She keeps detailed records of her clients' private lives, their scandals, their weaknesses—basically anything that could ruin them. It's insurance. As long as she holds those cards, she's untouchable.
As for her other side hustle, she's also apparently a thief. And if rumors are true, she's never once miscalculated a job. Her timing is flawless.
