Ava. The rest of the night went by a blur. And by the time I was back at the dressing room my legs were aching badly, and I had totally forgotten to pull down my clothes. I got a little conformable in them that I had forgotten about it.  Being a waitress wasn't as easy as tv shows made it out to be, I had come in contact with rude men, arrogant jerks and proud women. I wanted to yank their earnings out of their ears.  I also learned the difference between drinks and had memorized their names. While I still made mistakes serving them the wrong ones, I soon learned them right. And despite the large number of rude guests, there were still a few nice ones.  Like the young man who helped me stand when I stumbled once more. I remember his soft smile telling me to be care

Ava. I left the hospital feeling sad and broken. After spending a few more minutes watching over Avery it was already afternoon and I had lunch with Jayden just before I headed to work.  I walked into the hot sun feeling it heat against my skin. I suddenly regretted wearing this black shirt and washed jeans with blue sandals which I had sewn together many times.  I had left my hair down for once, and it fell on my shoulders in a wavy length. I raised my hand to shield my face from the burning sun and walked down the road heading to a bus stop where I would get a bus to the restaurant I was supposed to meet Jayden.  I stood at the bus stop for a while and the bus came. I hurried in taking a seat by the window and placed my purse on my lap.

"Thanks for dropping me off." I said, getting down from Jayden's car and waving at him from the window.  He smiled softly, "It's fine. I'll call you tomorrow. Ok?"  "Sure" I watched as Jayden drove off the street, and I blushed slightly. Lunch had been great not only because the food was awesome. I haven't had such a great meal in a long time. But also because it finally felt nice talking to someone other than Avery.

I appreciate all your votes ♥️Ava.In an hour, the club was already filled to the brim. It was the weekend so there were more people than on a Friday night. And I haven't even had the time to head to the bathroom to stand still even if it was for a minute. Mia who had tried making my life a living hell was succeeding perfectly, my only saving grace was that the head mafia table was still empty. In one hour, I had encountered drug lords and messengers who barely acknowledge

**This chapter is dedicated to Choo Ana, for the amazing comment you left in the lady chapter. And to those who reached out on Insta You are appreciated in every way. ♥️ Ava. I cried softly as Mikhail took me out of the club, the cold air hit me as I realised we've stepped out, but I didn't raise my head, instead I snuggled closer to him, shivering slightly. I felt humiliated and used, and even though the Mafia hadn't touched me, there was something about my dignity that had broken and everyone watched. A part of me felt angry at Mia or everyone else who couldn't come to my rescue and while I knew that they couldn't challenge the Mafia, a part of me was upset they just watched silently. I sudde
