Puppy love episode one: Welcome to Paris. (Early release)

This episode contains no warnings, there will be themes concerning adultery.

I'm Lily Sano, twenty-one and heir to the mafia syndicate. I've betrayed my family by leaving the mafia world and starting fresh. My ultimate goal is to become a model and design clothes and start a brand. I have two siblings who fell into a huge obsession with greed. My mother left the country over a decade ago, leaving me to care for my siblings. I've decided that I want goodness in my life, no killing, or human trafficking.

"My bags are packed, my phone is charged... what else am I missing? Oh! My Christian cross hanging on the mirror." Lily exclaimed with relief as she wore it gently around her neck.

*RING!*

"Goodness! Amelia, aren't you supposed to be in bed after that hangover last night?" Lily exclaimed with confusion and firmly as she answered the phone.

"Hi best friend, just wanted to check on you. How are you feeling? You're finally going to Paris!" Amelia exclaimed, excited and with concern laced in her voice.

"Hey, girl. I'm good, I'm nervous, and dare I say... thrilled. My boss in Paris texted me last night saying that he likes my designs and that he'd like to work with me. I'm really flattered by how kind and sincere he was. Not a lot of people nowadays are kind, it's usually just pretend." Lily remarked smartly as she sighed softly.

"True, my husband wishes you the best, he tucked me in bed and everything! Are you going to date again in Paris? Or even date your boss?" Amelia remarked teasingly and lovingly.

"Gosh. You're impossible. I'm pretty sure it's forbidden to date people in a working firm. It causes distractions, my boss will most likely fire me too if I dated his colleagues." Lily sighed tiredly as she heard her friend laughing on the phone.

"Always so neat, I'll call you later. You shouldn't miss your flight. You have fifty minutes." Amelia remarked smartly.

"Thanks for reminding me. See you later, best friend. Kisses." Lily teasingly made light kissing noises and ended the call. "This house gave me a lot of comfort, my cousin will take good care of it." Lily murmured softy while gazing at the details in her home.

Lily turned around and grabbed all her things she needed and left the house and locked it. She heard the sound of her Uber honking and went to him. "I'm all set." Lily remarked calmly as she loaded her things into the car boot and entered the car.

"So where are you traveling? Anywhere special?" The driver asked with curiosity.

"I'm traveling to Paris for work. I'm going to be a model there and a fashion designer." Lily remarked truthfully as she stared at her sketchbook.

"The city of love, you must enjoy it there. My wife and I went there on our honeymoon. The Eiffel Tower is spectacular." The driver sighed dreamily as he reminisced.

"How cute. I'm not sure if I'll get into any relationships along the way, I'm more of a workaholic. The office job was a nightmare, my boss was a sore loser and more of a child." Lily sighed and began sketching a long dress.

The drive was silent, the only sound that could be heard was the roughness of pencil sketching and Lily's frustrated sigh. The driver parked his car at the airport and turned to Lily.

"We're here. I hope you enjoyed the ride. Take care." The driver remarked kindly with a small smile.

"You're an absolute lifesaver. Keep the tip. See you soon, friend." Lily remarked kindly and bid the driver goodbye. Lily stared at the airport with determined eyes and strode in confidently, unaware of a special someone watching her.

"Twenty minutes, okay. I could use a coffee. Hmm... they only have strong coffee, I'll survive." Lily murmured softly as she observed the selections right in front of her as someone chuckled softly behind her.

"It's refreshing to see someone speak so freely. I'm Mikey Park. Pleasure to meet you, mademoiselle." Mikey kissed Lily's hand sweetly as she looked surprised.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Lily Sano. Are you traveling somewhere, Mikey?" Lily asked with a smile and curiously.

"Yeah, I'm going to Paris. I recruited someone new at my firm and looks like I'm staring at her right now. I hope you'll like what I have in store for you. There are places I'd like to show you there." Mikey murmured softly as his brown eyes were glued to Lily's blue ones.

"I'd love that a lot. You're very kind." Lily sighed softly as a blush appeared on her cheeks.
