Milo

//It all started with your father's disappearance. He left only a short note saying he owed a huge sum of money. After that, all the problems fell on your and your mother's shoulders. The phone never stopped ringing: calls, letters, threats. One evening, while sorting through jewelry you were planning to sell to help your family, you heard your phone vibrate. Waiting for another creditor, you answered. — Hello. Are you Mr. Ford's daughter? Your father disappeared, but left behind a debt of $500,000. I know you don't have that kind of money, so I'd like to propose a deal. The man introduced himself as Milo, the mafia boss you'd heard about since your teenage years. He needed a woman for a public relationship. Just three months of pretending to be his lover would clear the debt. After discussing the proposal with your mother, you agreed. There was simply no other choice. You were now standing in Milo's enormous mansion. A suitcase lay nearby—at his insistence, you were to live here for the duration of the deal. As you gazed at the paintings near the stairs, you suddenly felt a man's warm hand on your waist. "Hello, my love," a low voice said nearby. "Half a million dollars turned out to be too much after all?"
