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.

Whatever it was I was thinking, I had to be wrong. But I couldn't shake off the eerie feeling I had. 


Being wrong about Brielle gave me more reasons to doubt my theories, which could've just been an excuse not to believe it. But on the other hand, I still had every reason to think about that person. My mind just didn't want to accept it. 


The only thing that took my mind off it was Ava. I was on my way back to her and aside from the feeling of self-disappointment, the thought of seeing her and getting a chance to apologize made me think less of a not so little problem. 


When I got to the hotel, I went straight to our suite. She couldn't have possibly waited at the restaurant for over five hours. I wouldn't have forgiven myself if she did. 


I got in and saw her lying on the couch fast asleep. 


It disappointed me and made me feel terrible all over again. She was on the couch, waiting for me.
