The house was nothing but bones now. Charred wood. Crumbled stone. Ashes scattered like ghosts across the floor. Every breath I took carried the bitter taste of smoke, though the fire had died decades ago. It was the perfect place for a killing. Quiet. Empty. Forgotten. I stepped across the wreckage, eyes sharp, and focused steadily. Tonight was supposed to belong to me. My target. My mission. My silence. Then a voice rose from the shadows. Low. Calm. Unwanted. "What are you doing here?" I froze. My head snapped toward the sound. Out of the dark, Liam Kaiser emerged, his eyes catching the faint light from a broken window. I narrowed mine. "That's my question. What are you doing here?" The air between us tightened, the silence heavy. Finally, I said it. "I'm here to kill someone. Someone important." That was when I heard it-soft at first, then clearer-the crunch of footsteps pressing into the ash. Shapes moved. Five men stepped out of the gloom, surrounding us. Guns lifted. Smiles carved onto their faces like they already knew how this story ended. I glanced at Liam. He glanced back. We didn't need words. This just turned into something else. Then a new voice filled the ruins. Smooth. Measured. Dangerous. "Well, well. What a surprise... to see you here, mafia lord." My stomach dropped. I turned toward the figure stepping into the faint light. The world narrowed. My throat tightened. "Dad?" I whispered. The word echoed into the hollow house, vanishing into smoke and ash.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.
