A stripper, Aphrodite, who does what she has to to provide for her three year old daughter, Athena.
Nicolò Romano, the rich businessman who watches from the audience at a strange "business meeting". He can't keep his eyes off her.
Will she keep hi...
Aphrodite Martinez After work around Midnight I was dressed in my regular clothes and makeup washed off my face. I was ready to go. Nicolò appeared next to me. "Let's go pick up Athena." He said, sounding almost excited. We walked outside and he grabbed my hand and led me towards a limousine where a man hopped out and opened the door for us. As we settled in the back the driver got in. "Where to Mr. Romano?" The man asked with a deep voice. I told him my address in the bronx and we headed out. "I'll come in with you make sure you have anything you need." Mr. Romano said eyeing me. "What are you staring at?" I asked putting my hands on my waist and looking up at him. "I didn't thing the woman I saw on stage would have a daughter, or dress like you."

"Thanks. " I muttered under my breath letting us in the building. When we got upstairs and I entered the apartment she came running. "Mommy!" She cried out happily. "Mrs. Jensen what is she doing up?" I asked laughing. " Well she was sleeping but she woke up fifteen minutes ago and said "Mommy's bringing someone home. And refused to go to bed." The old woman chuckled. "Turns out she was right. Smart girl you have, just like you." "Thank you Mrs. Jensen." I said. "My pleasure darling. I'm down the hall if you need me." She left. "Athena baby, this is Nicolò. We are going to stay the night at his house for the night okay?" "Okay mommy." She walked over to him and reached up. He picked her up. "What can I call you? Your name is hard to say." Athena poked his cheek. He looked at me and I shrugged. Figuring we won't be around my new boss too often. "Call me Niko." He told her with a grin. "Okay." She said. "Niko, you like mommy?" I looked up from the bags I packed surprised. "Yes, your mommy is very nice." He said. "And pretty." Athena giggled. "Yes pretty too. Do you wanna go get a snack for the drive?" He laughed. "Ohh yeah! Down?" He bent putting her down and she ran to the cabinets. "Mommy what snack can I have?" "No junk food baby. You should be asleep. What do you want?" "Celery with peanut butter!" She ran for the fridge. I walked over and pulled a container from the fridge and handed it to her. "There you go baby." She grabbed both their bags, Athena, the car seat, and her keys. "Here." He took our bags, and the car seat. I closed and locked the door behind us. Sighed and followed him out to the car.
