The waitress' eyes grew wide at the crumpled paper the woman had handed with the money.
"Help," it read.
When she looked up, the woman was gone...
Determined to assist her, the waitress, Alyssa, managed to find out that the woman, Grace, was trapped in an abusive relationship and had no family to turn to. Alyssa pretended to be an old friend and gained Grace's trust, eventually discovering her home address.
With the help of her brother Kyle, who was the leader of the local mafia, managed to free Grace from her tormentor by buying her freedom. Alyssa and Kyle offered her a safe haven in their shared villa.

In the following days, Grace adjusted to her new life with Alyssa and her brother, Kyle, feeling grateful for the love and protection they offered. Although Kyle developed feelings for Grace, she was committed to preserving their friendship and not complicating their bond.

Despite his emotions, Kyle respected Grace's wishes and continued to be a supportive friend, finding comfort in their close connection. Alyssa, on the other hand, noticed the subtle dynamics between them but understood the importance of maintaining harmony within their trio.

Over time, Grace's confidence grew, and with Alyssa's encouragement, she pursued her passion for art, which had been suppressed during her abusive relationship. As Grace flourished in the nurturing environment, her creations inspired those around her.

Alyssa and Grace's sisterly bond grew stronger as they supported each other in healing from their past traumas. Grace's presence brought joy to their home, transforming it into a place of warmth and happiness.

Despite his lingering feelings for Grace, Kyle realized that her happiness was paramount, and he treasured their platonic friendship. Together, they proved that genuine care and understanding could mend even the deepest wounds, forming an unbreakable bond.

In this story of resilience, love, and support, three souls found strength in each other. Grace's plea for help led her to a new family, where love and shared experiences forged lasting connections. Together, they faced life's challenges with unwavering support, proving that even in the darkest moments, hope and friendship could prevail
