Talia Wright is a strong willed and determined woman, she is the girlfriend of mafia leader Mason Farrow.
When he is set up and given 5 life sentences she wants to pick up the pieces with his business and stay close to him, while trying to stay sec...
".... Hey baby." Mason said as he took a call from Samira.
" I was just wondering when I was gonna hear from you again... I am desperate for somebody to help me with Zain... he's swearing, he's being very derogatory towards women, and I feel like I'm losing grip of him...
"he is a teenager... you're reading too much into it.. and I don't know why you're calling me... I'm stuck here, what the fuck can I do from here.."
" I'm just trying to gauge you and get some support... our son could end up in trouble, I just think you should know...
"Do you think I should sit at night in my cell and ponder the fact that my son could be in danger, that he's out there doing God knows what and there is nothing that I can do about it because I'm stuck in that fucking cell... why don't you think about that Sami..." he snapped.
"I'm sorry... I guess I didn't think..." she said.

"Speak to yo dad and also speak to Riz or Conrad they can talk to him... I will try to call him.. but you have got to stop calling me with this kind of shit, because there is nothing I can do from here.."
" I'll tell you what, I'm just gonna go... I can tell that you're in one vile mood today, I'm here missing the shit out of you, and you're on the phone talking to me like I'm a child... When I'm trying to get some support from you for our son... Forget it Mason, You deal with whatever you've got to deal with in there, I'll just take care of everything else out here..." she hung up on him out of anger.
She paced angrily, she was sinking worrying about their son. She knew only one person who knew her son well and would be able to help her. She had Zain's coach's number and she hovered her thumb over it for a second and then she pressed to call. The call connected. "Hello?."
"A couple of days ago, you asked me about maybe going out to dinner, is there any chance we could meet tonight... I really am losing control of my son and I'm getting no support and help from anyone... I need to speak to somebody who knows him, and may have some kind of Intel, on what he's like right now what he's going through, how he's feeling...
"you know I can help you, Zain is a great kid, yes, he is going through it, I'm not gonna lie to you.. I am trying to keep him on the straight and narrow at practice every single day. Why don't I swing by and pick you up about 8 pm, I know a lovely lil Italian restaurant, I'll book us a table and we can go there. It is nice and quiet, somewhere where we can talk.."
"Thank you." She said. "Really, thank you.."
"It's no issue Samira... I'll see you then..." he said and the call ended. She knew that in no way would Mason be able to know that she was going to dinner with Coach Carson, so she needed to slip the detail that he had on her and the family for one night.

Riz had dropped Talia back at her place hours ago. She had bathed, soaked in the bubbles in her sunken bath tub and remembered her time with Mason. She knew that she needed to get to work at Dancers Elite tonight but she also knew that Riz and Conrad would have eyes on her so she needed to work out a way to get herself out unseen.
She knew there was a basement to this apartment, but she didn't know where it led. She decided she would try and find out and slip out undetected by Mason's men.
There was a knock on the door, she peered out through the window and saw someone young on the doorstep with their hood up. She went to the door and opened it. "Amelia?." She said as he sister looked up at her from where she had been staring at the floor. Her face bleeding and bruised. She bunched her hoodie in her fist and dragged her sister inside. "What the hell!.. fucking Blake again... this time I'm gonna kill him...."
"Can I stay with you, please..." she asked her, with begging eyes.
"Wait here..." Talia said and she rushed outside and down the drive to the car parked across the street. She pulled the passenger door open and got in.
"Talia?." Riz said with a smile. "Get the fuck outta the car.."
"How about you do something to help me out with my sister for a change ... instead of watching my every move..
"Amelia?." He said with his brow furrowed. She nodded. "Why!."
"Blake is using her as a punching bag and I have already warned his ass just yesterday.. she just turned up as you well know, her face bleeding and bruised... Mason would have been all over his ass by now... you all like my lil sis I know you do, so please help me out before he kills her..." she asked.

"Can I come in and talk to her for a minute?."
"Yes you can." She said, sick of Blake now who just wasn't listening to her.
They both walked into the apartment. Amelia smiled when she saw Riz. He just looked at her face and frowned. "Millie.. what the fuck!..." he lifted her chin and got a good look at her bruised and beaten face.
"Can you please frighten the life outta this kid.." Talia asked him. "Mason would if he was here... and I still am very much his girl as he pointed out.."
He sighed. "Yeah, give me his address..." he said. "But stay here Talia.. don't give me a headache tonight..."
"I'm not going to not now Amelia is here for the night.." she said and hugged her sister. She gave Riz the address. She waited until he had left and then she grabbed what she needed for the club.
"Listen Amelia, I need to pop out...
"Stripping again?." She said with sarcasm.
"Paying the bills, yes...
"Why is Riz watching your house!." Amelia asked.
"My man wants to make sure I'm safe here..." she said. "If he knocks when he gets back tell him I'm in the tub or something." She added and left quickly while she had the chance.
Amelia sat back in her sister's cosy apartment. She smoothed her hand over her plush warm sofa, she loved it here, Mason had given Talia a nice place for sure. Amelia's cellphone rang, she looked at the display thinking that it was Blake but she smiled when she saw who it was, she picked up. "Hey...
"What are you up to?." The voice said on the other end.
"I'm staying at my sister's place... what about you?." She asked.
"I wanna see you... can you get out...
"Blake hit me, I can't leave here for now.. why don't you come and see me..."
"Okay.... Send me the address..."
".. Zain, you'll need to leave before my sister gets back..."
"Girl, it'll be fine... He said and ended the call....
