By the time she woke up the next morning, the strange man from the night before he disappeared leaving a note that read,"It's dangerous inviting strangers into your home princess, but thanks for the treatment and I hope you like the breakfast see you soon"Just as she had finished reading the note the doorbell rang thinking it was her roommate who had left her keys in the apartment again. Leah went to open the door with her bed hair and pyjamas.As she pulled the door open, she saw a middle-aged man dressed in a black button-up shirt paired with black pants and dress shoes, he had a black apron tied around his waist and a tiny scar on his left side eye"Good Morn… " She didn't allow him to complete the greetings as she shut the door and ran back to her room changing out of her bum shorts and a crop top into something more decent before going back to the door, she composed herself and put on a smile as he opened the door once again to see the man still standing by the door."Good morn

"Why did Aaron shift the closing hours upwards?" Leah asked noticing the new sign hanging on the counter and the new board at the entrance of the cafe as she walked in with a backpack"Haven't you heard?" Matt asked his gossiping mode switching on as Leah got closer to the staff area to drop off her things and get changed into her work uniform,"Romano and Moretti are at it again!" he exclaimed"Who are those? The names sound familiar but I can't remember who they are." Leah returned and stood by his side at the counter, overlooking the almost empty cafe"The two big groups in the state?""Ah, yes. You once told me they are rivals or something, they are fighting for something. It's been peaceful all this while why the sudden hostility?" she asked absentmindedly as she scrolled through her phone"Yes, they are!, And you know when those big groups fight it affects their surroundings. Plus, I heard the Romano tried to kill someone on the Moretti's turf just last week" Matt explained in a

"You don't look too good" Stephen pointed out as he walked into Leah's apartment, followed by Anthonio who decided to tag along. Anthonio as usual, was carrying two brown bags filled with food. He dropped them on the table and sat beside Stephen in front of Leah."Are you okay?" Anthonio asked, concern laced his voice as he took in Leah's dishevelled state, her hair looked like it hadn't been combed in days and her face looked red and swollen from how much she had cried. "You look… homeless" he added"Did your boss send you to get me? I'm not done packing my things yet. Can you wait a bit?" Leah asked, her voice sounding hoarse and tired as she was about to head back into her room to complete her packing."Why would the boss send us to get you? What's wrong? You are not in danger are you?" Stephen asked pretending to be unaware of what was happening."Has someone been stalking you? Did someone threaten you? Did those Romano scum come to look for you?" Antonio asked and she shook her

“Your name?” The stern-looking middle-aged woman with curly blonde hair demanded as Leah stepped into her office. She had been so focused on her work that she only glanced at the younger woman before returning to the pile of files before her.“Leah Watson” Leah provided nervously, her eyes roaming the minimalist yet expensive-looking office decorated with framed pictures of dresses, suits, and models.“You are one hour early; do you live close by?” the older woman asked without taking her eyes off her work. Her hands scrambled on the paper as she signed a document.“No, ma’am. I live forty-five minutes away,” she explained.Stephen had come to get her this morning to make sure she wasn’t late for the appointment, as he repeated to her that her boss hated tardiness and that as long as she followed instructions she would enjoy working there.Leah's eyes landed on the nameplate on her table, and she silently read out the name “Kylie O'Connor." Her eyes widened as the name rang a bell. Ky

"This is your monthly pay, but due to the agreement between you and the Morettis, you will only get twenty per cent monthly for your expenses, and eighty per cent will go to Moretti to pay off your debts until it is fully paid," Lily explained as they went over the employment formalities. Leah looked at the document she was meant to sign, and her eyes went wide at the figures that were written as her salary.She looked from the document to Lily, who had a smile on her face. "Are you sure this one is for me? The twenty per cent is what I would normally make in three months at my old job; shouldn't it be less now that I'm repaying a debt?" Leah described making sure that she was reading the right document.Lily chuckled lightly, her eyes twinkling in amusement at the confused look on Leah's face. "You are working for Moretti now; there are lots of risks in the job as well as exhausting long and stressful hours of work, so the pay isn't much. Besides, it will increase after you become a
