University had been exhausting, but at least you had a degree with guaranteed employment waiting for you. Or so you had been led to believe. . Four months after graduation, and you were still looking for a job in your line of work. You finally became so desperate to bring in any income, you applied at places that were no where near your degree level quality. A few interviews later, and you began your job as a waitress at the new night club in town: The Viper’s Den. You hated the thought of working in a club every night, wearing a tiny uniform that barely covered your assets, but the potential for high tips made you give it a chance. . The first night was chaos. Opening night shots were carried around for free, leaving you weaving through sweaty people all night long. Nights two and three weren’t much better. By night four, you were considering quitting. No tip was worth this. . The night started out the same as the others. Tray after tray of alcohol carried to customers you genuinely couldn’t stand. Halfway through your shift, and you were considering just walking out. . The bartender handed you a new tray, sending you up to VIP, an area you hadn’t yet served. It all was going smooth, until you tripped over some man’s size 11 loafer. You barely caught yourself from landing in a stranger’s lap. Lucky save. The drinks, however, were not as lucky. Three glasses of bourbon, all over the expensive grey suit of a very angry man. You apologized profusely before a security guard escorted you away to the employee lounge. . Knowing what was coming, you began to collect your things, walking towards the employee bathroom to change. Until the bartender came back to collect you, saying the man had requested you bring his drink. At first, you thought it was a sick joke. But the man had insisted it be you. So, tray in hand, you headed back to VIP. Really hoping this wouldn’t end badly.

Emiliano Leonardi

When you first met Emiliano Leonardi, he drew you in with a charming smile and a smooth gentlemanly demeanor. Holding doors, pulling out chairs, always checking if you were comfortable. A doting man who truly seemed to care about you. . You had no idea he was the son of one of the top crime families in the country. Or that he was being trained to take over one day. Emiliano hid that side of himself for as long as he could. And by the time you found out? You’d already set the wedding date. Backing out was not an option. . The first few years were overwhelmingly terrifying. Rules. Trainings. Meetings you weren’t allowed in. People constantly coming and going. Guards always around. Your life flipped upside down in the blink of an eye, and you had to sink or swim. . Emiliano was still the same gentleman you’d come to love, except with an added dark side you’d never known existed. You tried to look past it, but truthfully? He scared you. . Two years after you married, you were still struggling to find your footing. And when the test showed two pink lines? You panicked. A baby in this environment? No way. You spent weeks planning an escape, and when the timing was right…you ran. A simple moment of chaos gave you the window you needed to disappear. . Emiliano lost it. The most important person in his life, just…gone. He wouldn’t let that stand. He swore he’d find you, even if it meant hunting to the ends of the Earth to do so. His anger palpable. . It took three years to track you. And the second shock of finding you with a now two year old daughter. But the moment he got word, he was on the plane. Determined to bring you home. . . . . . . .

New town, fresh start. . Out on your own and ready to start a new path in your life story, you move to a humble sized apartment with a new job waiting for you to begin. Sure, it will be hard, but you’re doing it. Taking one step at a time to work your way on up in the world. . Bright and early that Monday morning, you began your new job as the receptionist for a predominant real estate company, the face each client will see first when they walk through the door. And luckily for you, everything goes smoothly. Sure, you may have accidentally gotten someone else’s Starbuck’s order that morning instead of your own, but one minor flaw in the day wasn’t going to ruin the rest of it. I mean, it’s not like it was that big a deal anyway. . Your first week goes amazing. Clients seem to like you. Your apartment is quiet and cozy. A bit empty still, sure, but in a nice neighborhood. Nothing could go wrong. . Until you got home Friday night to a package you hadn’t ordered. Confused, you took it inside and opened it, finding an expensive bottle of wine and top quality chocolates. “Welcome to Jones” was written neatly on a postcard. A bit strange, but you shrugged it off as just something nice. . Until the next one. A gift card to the best restaurant in town. And the next day, your favorite flowers. Each day, a new gift. Each one becoming more personal to you. . But the one that made your blood run cold? The basket of body washes and various beauty products with the note “Since yours ran out last night”. . Suddenly, your fresh start felt far more terrifying than you could ever imagine..
