1. Lost

Ava Sánchez, just eighteen, trudged through New York City's twisted streets, her body worn thin by the relentless grind of survival. Her dark eyes, once lively, now mirrored her exhaustion, and her brown hair, streaked with the city's grime, framed a face drained of color. Hunger and anxiety pressed on her frail shoulders, each step forward a battle against the desperation gnawing at her insides. Clad in tattered clothes that did little to fend off the city's biting cold, Ava moved through the night, driven by the hollow ache in her stomach. The bustling noise of the city assaulted her ears, a disorienting blend of chaos against the quiet despair she carried. New York's bright lights, so dazzling to others, only heightened her sense of isolation, the vibrant cityscape contrasting her bleak reality. Poncholes, a high-end restaurant, stood out like a distant oasis amid the urban sprawl. Its warmly lit windows glowed invitingly, casting a golden hue on the street. Soft strains of piano

2. Oops

With its subtle charm and busy atmosphere, this place offered her a new beginning. She would prove herself worthy of this chance. This chance she didn't deserve. The city had been cruel and indifferent, but she had found a small light in the darkness. Her first night had been grueling, each muscle in her body aching from the work. Dishes scrubbed, floors mopped, tables wiped clean. Ava pushed through, driven by something more than the need for money. When Jorge, the owner, approached her, she braced herself. He pulled out some bills and placed them in her hand. "You did well tonight," he told her. "There's a hotel nearby, the Newyorker Inn. It's decent. This will cover the room and whatever else you need. They know you are coming." Ava blinked, surprised by his kindness. She'd expected nothing more than a quiet nod of approval, if that. But here he was, offering her a safe place to rest. She thanked him, trying to mask the emotion that threatened to overwhelm her. Jorge smiled at

3. Carver Troy

"He's a local real estate tycoon," Jorge said. "He's been coming here since he was a kid. It's his favorite spot. He often picks up his order after hours to avoid unwanted attention." Ava's stomach dropped as she realized her mistake. "I… I didn't know," she managed. "I'm so sorry, Jorge." Jorge shook his head. "I know you didn't mean any harm, but this is serious, Ava. Mr. Troy values his privacy, and he trusts us to keep it. There aren't many places he can go where he gets that respect. He'll be back tonight, and he'll expect an apology." Ava nodded as fear tightened around her chest. Facing someone so powerful was terrifying, but she had to make it right. "I'll apologize," she promised. "I'll do whatever it takes." Jorge nodded as well. "Just be sincere. He's fair. He'll understand." The hours dragged by as Ava's anxiety grew with each passing minute. The restaurant bustled around her, but she only thought about meeting Carver Troy. He was a legend in New York, known for his

4. Hotel

The owner placed his hand over hers, shaking his head with a smile. "Don't worry. I'm not kicking you out. You've been moved to the Presidential Suite." Ava blinked, struggling to process his words. The Presidential Suite? The most luxurious room in the hotel, usually reserved for celebrities and dignitaries. Why was this happening? "But... why?" she finally whispered. "Someone requested it for you," the owner replied, shrugging. "They've paid for everything. Six months in advance." Ava's chest tightened. Who could have done this? Carver? He was the only one she knew with that kind of money. The thought was both exhilarating and terrifying. She made her way to the suite, her legs shaky. Opening the door, the sight stole her breath. A king-sized bed with a sparkling chandelier above it. Everything screamed luxury, a world apart from the small room she had been staying in. She wandered through the suite, trailing her fingers over the soft fabrics and cool marble. Her emotions surge

5. New Confidence

Ava awoke slowly, the soft sheets reminding her of a reality she was still grasping. Memories from the previous day flickered in her mind, a blend of luxury and fantasy. Anticipation built up inside her, a sensation so novel and exhilarating. She slipped out of bed, smiling as she took in the gleaming surfaces around her. The bathroom beckoned, its array of makeup and hairstyling tools like an invitation to a world she had admired from afar but never entered. For the next hour, Ava immersed herself in transformation. Each brushstroke brought out a confidence she hadn't known before. Applying makeup was more than vanity. It was a connection to desires and dreams she had kept hidden. As she experimented with colors and contours, she felt something shift within her. An awakening of potential that had seemed out of reach until now. Each glance in the mirror revealed more than a change in appearance. It reflected the growth of her inner self. The spark of confidence ignited into someth

6. Trust Your Gut

Ava looked up, trying to read the situation. "Yes, Jorge?" "How would you feel about becoming a waitress? I think you have what it takes. Your grace, attentiveness, and genuine care for others are exactly what we need." Ava froze. A waitress? The idea was exciting and terrifying, a plunge into something completely new. But deep down, she knew she was ready. "I would love to, Jorge!" The words tumbled out. "Thank you so much for this opportunity." Jorge nodded, pleased. "I knew you'd be up for it. Come, let's get you your employee meal and the new server uniforms. We've got a lot to discuss." As they headed toward the kitchen, Ava's heart raced, a mixture of anticipation and excitement coursing through her. Jorge led her to the employee lounge, where a meal and neatly folded uniforms awaited her. While Ava ate, Jorge started talking about Carver. "I've known Carver since he was a young boy," he shared, his thoughts drifting back. "Before the businesses, before the money. He's a g

7. Sharp Edges

Time seemed to stretch and distort as Ava's mind raced, panic threatening to overtake her. This couldn't be happening. Not now, when everything was finally falling into place. But the cold steel against her neck was real. One wrong move could end it all. She forced herself to stay calm as she reached into her purse, her hands shaking as she dug around in it. She needed to find a way out, but nothing made sense. The robber's breath was hot against her skin, his body tense. Her fingers brushed against her new bracelet, a symbol of hope that now seemed laughably out of place. "Hand it over now!" The robber's demand cut through the silence, sending a fresh wave of fear crashing against her senses. She fumbled with her purse, the reality of her situation tightening around her like a vice. The street was deserted, so no one was around to help. She was trapped, alone with this stranger who had no concerns about killing her. The blade pressed harder against her throat, a thin line o

8. What Happened?

Carver watched her closely, as if she were a fragile piece of art in danger of shattering. His scrutiny was both intense and gentle, a combination that unsettled her. "Go take a bath, Ava." He didn't ask. He commanded. "You need to calm down. I'll be right here." She nodded mechanically and headed to the bathroom. As she shut the door, she saw him reaching for his phone. His demeanor had shifted. He was now tense and serious, and it radiated from every pore. The water filling the tub provided a welcome distraction, a gentle melody against the storm of emotions inside her. She couldn't shake the memory of Carver standing over the robber. His actions were precise, and his power was undeniable. The contradiction between the man she knew of and the one she witnessed was baffling. As she slid into the warm water, she heard muffled sounds through the door. Carver was on the phone, his tone controlled. Phrases like "security" and "immediate" slipped through, giving her a glimpse into a

9. One More Suggestion

Carver studied the room as they moved to the sitting room's couches. Ava noticed how his broad shoulders moved with each step under his casual clothing. Each time before, he'd been in a suit. Now she could see so much more of his body and couldn't stop looking as his muscles moved below the fabric. The space around them felt heavy with unspoken thoughts as pressure started building between them. He reached into the mini-fridge, carefully pulling out two cold water bottles. The coolness of the bottle contrasted sharply with the warmth of his hand as he passed one to her. She realized instantly he'd done it so he could touch her. His movements were careful, almost calculated. "So," he started, as he settled onto the couch, "How long have you lived here, Ava?" The question seemed simple enough, but Ava knew more was behind it. She hesitated, feeling the weight of his inquiry tugging at something deep inside her. She could sense he was searching for something more than just a timeli

10. Decisions

Carver's fingers drummed a steady rhythm on the arm of the chair, a restless beat that betrayed his inner agitation. Ava studied him, her curiosity mixing with concern. What could possibly be causing such a powerful man to be so agitated? After what felt like an eternity, Carver spoke. "Ava, I've been thinking about your safety," he began, carefully choosing each word. "I want to suggest something that might seem... unconventional." Ava leaned forward. Unconventional? The word alone made her more anxious. "I'd like you to move into my penthouse," Carver continued. "There's a guest wing you could use. It's a secure location, and it's closer to your new job." Ava's thoughts spun wildly. Move into Carver's penthouse? The suggestion was beyond anything she had ever imagined. Her eyes flicked back to Carver. He seemed almost calm, but how his hand gripped the armrest told a different story. This wasn't just a casual offer. It was something deeply personal that mattered to him more th
