Chapter 1

"Flo, table six needs more coffee." I grabbed the half-empty pot and hurried across the diner floor, dodging a toddler who'd escaped his mother's grasp. My feet ached in the cheap sneakers that had seen better days. "Coming right up," I called, plastering my customer service smile on my face immediately. The man at table six barely looked up from his phone as I refilled his cup. No "thank you," not even a nod. Just another invisible service worker in his world. But I was used to it. "Anything else I can get you?" I asked. He shook his head without looking up. "Flora!" Marge, my manager, beckoned from behind the counter. "Your shift ended ten minutes ago. Don't you have somewhere else to be?" I glanced at the clock above the kitchen door. Crap, I thought. If I didn't hurry, I'd definitely be late for my night job. "Thanks, Marge." I untied my apron and stuffed it under the counter. "See you tomorrow." "Get some rest, honey," she called after me. "You look dead on your feet."...

Chapter 2
FLORA The office door closed behind me with a soft click that sounded like a death sentence. I stood frozen, staring at the massive desk that dominated the room. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the glittering city skyline, but all I could see was the reflection of a terrified woman: me. "Sit," ordered the towering bulk of a man who had dragged me in. I managed to lower myself into a leather chair without collapsing. My mind raced through escape scenarios, but each one more seemed more impossible than the last. The office had only one door, and Mountain Man stood in front of it like a boulder. "He'll be in soon," he said, crossing his arms. "Don't try anything stupid." Stupid would be sitting here waiting to be murdered. I nodded meekly, trying to look defeated while my eyes darted around the room. There had to be something, anything I could use. "I need to use the bathroom," I said. My voice was barely above a whisper. Mountain Man frowned. "Hold it." "Please," I begged, cro

Chapter 3
FLORA The drive to Dante's home felt like a dream, or more accurately, a nightmare. I sat rigid in the back of a luxury SUV with tinted windows so dark they were practically black. Rex drove while Dante sat beside me, close enough that I could smell his cologne but not touching me. The silence stretched between us like a rubber band that had been pulled too tight. "Call your mother," Dante said finally, handing me a sleek phone I didn't recognize. "Tell her you won't be home tonight." I took it with trembling fingers. "What exactly am I supposed to say?" "That you've been offered a live-in position with better pay. Nothing about what you saw." His eyes locked with mine. "Nothing about me." I dialed Mom's number, each ring worsening my anxiety. What if she didn't answer? What if this was the last time I ever spoke to her? "Flora?" Mom's voice was thick with sleep. "Is everything okay? It's after midnight." "Hey, Mom." I fought to keep my voice steady. "Sorry to wake you. I... I h

Chapter 4
FLORA "This is a business arrangement," he corrected. "One that benefits both parties. You get financial security and medical care for your mother. I get loyalty and discretion." "And if I refuse?" His expression hardened. "Then you become a liability rather than an asset." We both knew what that meant. I flipped to the last page, where a signature line awaited. "You're asking me to sign away my freedom." "I'm offering you a way out of poverty and your mother a way out of pain." He reached into another drawer and pulled out a syringe and a small vial. "Speaking of which..." My breath caught. "What is that?" "Your mother's new medication. A recent development from Europe. It hasn't been approved by FDA yet, but it is highly effective for stage three kidney disease. It halts progression and can even reverse some damage." I stared at the vial, while hope and suspicion took turns flaring up within me. "How do I know that's real?" "You don't." He set the vial down beside the contr

Chapter 5
FLORA I woke up with a start, my heart pounding against my chest. For a moment, I couldn't remember why I felt so anxious. Then it all came crashing back—the execution I witnessed, the deal I made with Dante Romano, and my new job which was starting today. It was still dark outside. The clock on my nightstand read 4:30 AM. Sleep had been impossible at first as my mind had been racing with thoughts of what I had gotten myself into. Working for the most feared man in the city wasn't exactly on my career vision board. At least I had won the small victory of staying in my own apartment. The way that negotiation with Dante turned out had surprised even me. "You're moving into my mansion," he had stated the day before. His tone made it clear he expected no arguments. "No," I replied, crossing my arms. I don't know where I found the courage. Maybe it was the desperation of having no other option than working for him. His eyebrows shot up. Nobody said no to Dante Romano. "Excuse me?" he

Chapter 6
FLORAI barely slept that night. Every noise made me jump as I kept wondering. Was it Dante's men watching me? Or someone else entirely? By morning, my nerves were shot, and the coffee I gulped down only made my hands shakier.Rex arrived at exactly 8 AM, and his face was expressionless as he held the car door open."Good morning," I said, trying to sound normal.He nodded in response. The whole drive was silent until his phone suddenly rang."Yes, sir," he answered before glancing at me in the rearview mirror. "I'll tell her."When he hung up, he cleared his throat. "Mr. Romano wants you in his office immediately. Not at your desk. He wants you to go directly to him when we arrive."My stomach dropped. "Did he say why?" I questioned him."It’s not my job to ask questions, Ms. Flora,” he responded.Great, I thought. Something told me this wasn't about my filing system.When we arrived, the office was eerily quiet. Vivian wasn't at her desk yet, and the lights in the outer office were

Chapter 7
FLORA I stood frozen by the intercom with my heart pounding loudly in my ears. What would Vivian be doing at my apartment this late? And what was that she said about me being in danger? None of this even made sense. The knock on my door made me jump. I peered through the peephole and blinked in surprise. The woman standing there wasn't Vivian at all. She was younger, around my age, with long dark hair and olive skin. And those eyes. I recognized them immediately. They were Dante's eyes, although these ones were warmer and framed by long lashes. I kept the chain on as I cracked open the door. "You're not Vivian,” I pointed out. She smiled, and something in my chest tightened. Her smile transformed her face, making her stunning rather than merely beautiful. "No, I'm Sofia Romano. Dante's sister." "Why did you lie about who you were?" She held up a paper bag that smelled amazing. "Would you have let me in if I told you I was Dante's sister?” she replied. “I brought dinner." My sto

Chapter 8
FLORA"Curiosity killed more than cats in my world," Dante said. His voice was dangerously soft as his fingers wrapped around my wrist firmly.My heart hammered against my ribs as I contemplated my situation. I had crossed a line, and we both knew it. The question was what Dante would do about it.His dark eyes studied me for a long moment, and I just stood there, holding my breath as I thought about what he would do. Then, to my surprise, he moved my hand away from the panel and pressed his own palm against it instead. There was a faint click, followed by the quiet beep of the keypad as he entered a code."What are you doing?" I whispered, more out of shock than anything."Satisfying your curiosity,” was all he said. The safe door swung open. "Since you're so determined to know my secrets, let's get it over with once and for all."He stepped aside, allowing me to see the contents of the safe. Stacks of cash were neatly arranged on one shelf. It was more money than I had ever seen out

Chapter 9
FLORA I was still staring at the broken glass on the floor when my apartment door burst open. Dante walked in, flanked by three men with visible gun holsters. I hadn't even heard him coming up the stairs. "Are you hurt?" he demanded. His eyes immediately scanned me from head to toe. I shook my head as I pulled my robe tighter around me. "Just scared,” I admitted. He nodded to his men, who immediately spread out through my small apartment, checking the rooms and securing the flimsy windows. "Show me the note," Dante said. His voice sounded calm, but I knew he wasn’t. I handed him the crumpled paper. As he read it, his expression hardened, and a muscle ticked in his jaw. "Pack a bag," he ordered, handing the note to one of his men. "Both of you are coming with me." "Both?" I asked, blinking in confusion. "My mother is at her house with the nurse." "Not anymore. I've already sent men to secure her location and prepare her for transport." "Transport? You can't just move my mothe

Chapter 10
FLORAI stared at the ceiling of the guest bedroom in Dante's penthouse, unable to fall asleep despite the comfortable silk sheets and memory foam mattress. It had been three days since the attack on my apartment forced me to move in here, and despite the luxury surrounding me, I still felt like I was a bird in a gilded cage.The digital clock on the nightstand showed 2:17 AM. With a sigh, I threw off the covers and walked to the kitchen for some water, careful not to make noise. To my surprise, a light was already on."Can't sleep either, dear?" Mrs. Rossi, Dante's housekeeper asked. She was sitting at the kitchen island nursing a cup of tea."No," I admitted, reaching for a glass. "It's too quiet here."Mrs. Rossi nodded in understanding. She was a short, plump Italian woman in her sixties with kind eyes that seemed out of place in Dante's world. Over the past few days, she had become my only real ally in this strange new life."Sit," she instructed, already pouring me some tea. "Ch
