Alone and desperate to get out of debt, Ava begins to work odd jobs to keep herself afloat. She calls her gift for singing a silly talent and uses it to earn small cash at local bars. But a simple song from her was able to put Leon Prescott to sleep in seconds. 

Leon is old, wealthy and has insomnia. He walked into the bar that night hoping to spend the money he didn’t need on girls who needed it. Ava was the lucky girl of the night. She sang to him, he fell asleep immediately. Something that never happened. He needed her, he had to find her but she was gone. 

Destined to meet again, Ava is handed a contract. Move into Leon’s mansion as a live-in personal assistant and sing him to bed every night and get a hefty pay. The desperation caved in and killed her independence. She accepted, thus walking into a life of love, pain, and war.

I woke up beside Leon that morning. He held onto me like he needed me. Like he would die in his sleep if I so much as moved an inch away from him. I wasn't uncomfortable, just confused and back to step one. Somehow keeping it professional had turned into sleeping in his bed. 


I quietly pulled away from him and went downstairs to talk to the chef. I wanted her to make soup for him but she already made pasta and plated it. She said it was his favorite dish. 


I grabbed some medicine from the cabinet and took his food upstairs. I placed it on the table and wrote a small note. 


After what happened the night before, I didn't think i'd be able to look him in the face so I went back to my room to get ready to leave the house before he woke up. 


I texted Alicia that I was coming over to her house since it was her off day. 


A few minutes later, I got ready and left.
