Nicole is a 19 year girl lost in her pain. Thinking she was obligated to the position she was in after everyone told her to walk away. What happens when she meets Reece Gordon? To her a wealthy Scottish businessman at least she thought. What secrets...
Why is it that people choose to fight battles they know they can't win? Mafias, little gangs, and people who have already lost a war to your parents and their children choose to come after you. That is what was happening now. A rival mafia that Reece's father destroyed years ago wanted to come back for more. The sad thing was Reece has been Don for nine years since his stepmom killed his father. The bitch was evil, killing his father after he announced he was passing the torch to his first-born son beside her son that wasn't even his. In the end, Reece killed them both in revenge for his dad. Or was it for himself?
"What do we know?"
"Nothing really, just that UK mafia wants to finish what they started. Either of us under them or dead. Neither of which is going to happen. That I know." Lance said as Reece nodded his head. He was right about that neither one of those things was about to happen.
"You know they are going to try everything in their power to stop you from marrying. Once they find out about Nicole."
"The only thing Nicole and I are doing is living together. It's been fucking six months, and she still jumpy at times," Reece said, sighing as Lance tapped his fingers thinking.
"She needs therapy cousin."
"I know that and I've been trying... Nicole is refusing claiming she is fine," Reece said. Each time he mentions talking to someone her answer is always no.
"She in denial... You know we never let her know he is dead. Shit Reece the muthafucker been on ice for six months. Maybe that would help," He said as Reece automatically picked up his phone calling the morgue waiting for Josh or Levi to answer.
"Don, what can we do for you?"
"The John Doe you have in the morgue tell the Chief we are ready to release the news."
"On it now."

Nicole lost both of her jobs six months ago, and Reece refused to let her find work. He was always talking shit that he would care for her, and still, she wasn't allowed to leave the house unless he, Lance, or Greg was with her. Neither one of them would tell her why. So, Nicole started making use of her time at the house by being out in the yard since it was springtime. She loved being outside, taking pictures, and it was something she always enjoyed doing. Plus Reece had a beautiful backyard.

Once finished, Nicole went inside to her favorite place in the living room, sitting and watching the news. It was always something happening in New York, and if someone blinked, they would miss it.
Tonight, on the six o'clock news, a body was found in the Heights Apartment. According to the apartment's manager and neighbors said that the man had been missing for some time now, but his bills and rent were getting paid on time as they normally did. Neighbors also said that he had a twenty-year daughter living with him that moved over right before he stopped being seen.
