Chapter 1Amelia's P.O.VI'm in the plane now very scared sitting by the window looking out in the opening, with my best friend sitting by me very nervous about a new country to start a new life without our parents. We haven't left our country our homeland Spain where we were born and this is our first time being alone with no adult supervision. Well my name is Amelia Cruz a seventeen-year-old girl leaving her country to look for a better life for her parents and little brothers. You see my family lives in the poorest part of Spain, my mom is only a waitress working 16-17 hours a day to provide for us. My dad is only a shoe maker and doesn't earn much. I have three younger brother who look up to me, so this decision is what was best for us. I know I'm a minor but we need a better life and I'm going to make it happen. My best friend Kathy is also in the same situation but her dad left her mom for another woman when he became rich leaving her and her mom to cater for themselves. Ou

Few months laterIt has been six months I came to New York and stared working at " The Phoenix". Things have been eventful, Brittany and I have become good friends , well she knows our secret but she promised not to tell anyone. My 18th birthday was last week and only Brittany, Kathy and I got to celebrate it with me. Marco and I have also become good friends and I think he has a thing for Brittany but she can't give in because she has a daughter and we can't date coworkers. Her daughter Evie is the cutest 2 year old I have ever seen, it is a shame her dad didn't want her. Well, Brittany had an affair with a married man and later dumbed her.I don't blame her tho, the heart want what it wants. She is still in love with him tho. I met some of the other worker, some were nice and some were rude. Justine the rude girl was the bosses formal personal dancer until Joana came long and the boss fell in love.I heard he was the biggest player in New York and even USA. We are yet to meet him.

It has been two weeks since my encounter with the boss and since then I haven't crossed his path. I have gotten my cheque and right now I'm on the phone with my mama,"Mija, I hope you take very good care of yourself. Please eat and don't stress yourself too much" she says in a worried tone."Mama, please I'm taking good care of my self. Don't worry too much. Plus i have sent the money to Papa's account so you can finally send Leo to school" I tell her"Yes my baby, you don't know how happy he is. I'm so sorry for being a bad mom, this should've been me working to take care of you not the other way round" she says in sobs" Oh mama, I'm doing this for the family. You know I don't want you to stress out much" I tell her, I hate it when she cries.As I was talking to her and my other family members, Miss Mendes comes in to the room with a worried face. "Mama,I'll call you back. Love you" I say and ended the call. " Miss Mendes what is wrong?" I ask her "I know we aren't friends but

I'm nervous as hell right now, I'm standing behind the curtains and on the other side is Mr. Miller waiting for me. Julia did my make up for me and I look different, I even feel confident in myself for once. I feel pretty, I'm now wearing a long caramel dress with white heels, well the bosses personal singer is privilege to wear any dress of her choice, I was excited to hear that but I'm still worried about what happened between Kathy and I. To top it up my boss hates my gut. "Oh Kehlani, the boss is waiting for you. Don't worry you'll do great" she whispers softly to me."Okay I can do this"I say to myself. I calm my nerves down and then opened the curtains I see the boss having drink but he was looking in my direction. I stand beside the microphone and they start to play the beat of the song I decided to sing.🎵🎶Song 🎶🎵(Please the song is in Mexican Spanish.Déjaló ir by Margarita la diosa. Good is that I got both the Spanish and translated part but you can listen to it)

has been almost 2 months since that incident and I haven't seen the boss since then. Isabella said he had an emergency call in one of his business in Australia and so he had to leave. To say I was excited was an overstatement, I was finally free his insults and hurtful remarks. Yes I know I'm not beautiful but he doesn't need to rub in my face. I have finally started school, I passed my online high school final year class and now I have started college,goods news was that I was offered a scholarship in Yale university. I know I would be stressed out but Isabella was generous enough to get me a car to drive my self. Isabella and I are getting really close and we tell each other everything, plus she has also spoken to my parents and brothers. They loved her.Kathy moved out a week after our argument. She now leaves in one of the lavish pent house her sugar daddy got for her but she still works for Mr Miller. She hasn't spoken to me but she is says nasty things to me when I pass by h
