Ella siempre estaba en sus sueños, su sonrisa, su mirada triste, su cuerpo, su figura, los hoyuelos de sus mejillas, la forma en que siempre lo curaba, siempre soñaba con ella hasta que todo se tornaba gris, ella lo soltaba de la mano y el caía en un profundo abismo de oscuridad.
Había pasado muchas veces antes, escuchaba su voz en la penumbra de su habitación y abría los ojos inmediatamente, giraba su cuerpo completamente y caía de la cama lleno de pavura y lágrimas, lleno de sudor y agobio miraba a todos lados a cada esquina de su habitación, la luz de la luna neón era lo único que lo alejaba de la completa obscuridad, pero aun así por unos momentos juraba ver su silueta entre la negrura de los rincones, juraba verla ahí, juraba que aun podía estar junto a ella de nuevo, su amada emperatriz.
Los gritos de agobio hacían que su madre entrara enseguida para encontrarlo vagando por el cuarto con la mirada perdida buscándola, ¿Dónde estaba? Preguntaba sollozante.
- Llévenme con ella, tráiganla conmigo, por favor.
- Hijo tranquilo, tranquilo, Aria se fue...
A musically talented teen with her sights set on the spotlight must find a way to get her life back when she falls in with the mob.
*****
In a city where con artists make the rules and aspiring females wear sequins and dance with a pole, Melody Holiday refuses to ride on the coattails of her semi-famous grandfather. She wants the freedom to choose her own path to showbiz greatness. When a chance meeting with a handsome stranger provides Mel with an opportunity, she thinks she's landed the big one. But her grandpa isn't thrilled with the direction Mel's career is going, and it's not until she stumbles across something she probably shouldn't have that this becomes clear. Perhaps meeting the stranger with the Rocky Balboa eyes wasn't by chance. Maybe Mel is rubbing elbows with the kind of people who could take away her freedom for good.
