"Sean - I - No - We can't date." She stood abruptly, bumping the table, making the bottle tip over. "I - No!" She stared at me like a small animal caught in the middle of the highway. Sean's rich. He's powerful. He's inherited his family's legacy ... the money ... the mansion ... the bloodshed ... but he's lost the only thing he ever truly cared about- his wife. He didn't think he could love again. He never tried. He wasn't looking ... then her. The new dancer at his strip-club is clumsy, smart mouthed, a terrible waitress and her performance on stage is ghastly ... but she's good at capturing his heart. Jessie never planned to be a stripper ... but life happens. She's on the run, hiding out, concealing secrets and the gentlemen's club on the wrong side of town seems like the perfect place. Denying Sean's advances are hard ... but she has to, because the truth would not only break his heart ... but possibly end her life.

"Why are you running away from me?" He pinned me to the wall, leaving no chance of my escape. I looked down at my feet, not being able to find the courage to talk. "Amelia," The way he took my name, sent down shivers through my body. "I asked, why are you running away from me?" I somehow gathered the courage to speak but couldn't look at his eyes. "I know you're gonna kill me. I saw those photos. I read those papers." I whispered as tears started rolling down my cheek. He sighed and turned away from me showing me his athletic and muscular back. I cleared my throat and spoke again looking at his back. "I don't want to die." He turned around and our eyes locked. There was no expression in his eyes. "I wish I can save you but, I cannot." He came closer and whispered into my ears. ---------- Beautiful cover by @bangtanboyzarelife ACHIEVEMENTS🏆 🏆2ND PLACE IN THE SPRING AWARDS 2K20 🏆8TH RUNNER UP IN THE GOLD AWARD 2K20 🏆3RD PLACE IN THE HONEYBEE AWARDS 2K20 🏆3RD PLACE IN THE SUNFLOWER AWARDS 2K20 🏆2ND PLACE IN THE WINNER AWARDS 2K20 🏆3RD PLACE IN THE RISING GEM AWARDS 2K20 🏆2nd RUNNERS UP IN THE PERDURABLE AWARDS 2K20 🏆3rd PLACE IN THE SKY'S LIMIT AWARDS 2K20
