RoseI should stop being hopeful, really. Nothing ever gets better. I don't know why I even try. I was trying hard to do my job, but the mysterious stranger has become more of a stalker. The man won’t stop showing up at the club to watch me. He didn’t want to chat. He just wanted to watch me. He was always in the VIP section. The place is secluded and private. Most people don’t even know he is there. It's creepy. I blame Blade. “Hey,” Lola hugged me, “Don’t mind him. He will leave.”“When?” I whispered. “He has been here for a week now. The man is really sick. He needs help.”“Who cares?""I do. He needs to mourn his wife some other way." I scowled."He is not causing trouble.""And yet I feel uneasy every time he shows up here." "You are lucky you are not going to the parties. I’m exhausted. I'm not as wild as I used to be.” "Please," I roll my eyes, "you live for the parties."“True," she grins."Then stop complaining. Go on. We don’t want Blade calling us to the office.” I sigh

Rose I was staring at the ceiling in the guest room. I couldn’t sleep here and I had no plan of escape. Mik was trying to keep me as a “guest” but I was a prisoner who was waiting for my older brother to come murder me. I was thinking of maybe forming an alliance, but there was no way in hell he would entertain the thought. He would be glad to drag my ass to Antonio and gut me in front of him. I sharply exhaled and placed my feet on the floor. This was no time to get ahead of myself. I have survived this long and I can do it again. Samuel was an idiot who can’t decide without Antonio holding his hand. “Oh Fabio, your son will not be pleased to see me tomorrow.” I sighed. I only saw Samuel twice. The first encounter was okay because we were children. Antonio hadn’t brain washed him then. The second encounter was very bloody. I don’t like to even think about it. ***Flashback*** I had opened my eyes and heard screaming. The door burst open, and I saw uncle Jason holding his gun
