Annie Miller sat hunched over her tiny sewing machine in the backroom of a small boutique in New York City. The dim light flickered above her as she carefully stitched the hem of a dress, her fingers working swiftly despite the fatigue creeping into her bones. Outside, the city buzzed with life-women in designer heels strutted past the boutique's window, their laughter mixing with the honking of yellow taxis.
Annie wished she could be one of them, not for the wealth but for the freedom. The freedom to chase her dream without worrying about rent, late shifts, or whether she could afford fabric for her next design.
"Annie! You almost done with that dress?" called her boss, Mrs. Langley, from the front of the store.
"Almost!" she replied, biting her lip as she guided the last stitch into place.
She longed to design her own creations, not just alter overpriced dresses for wealthy clients who barely noticed her existence. But for now, this job was all she had.
As she carried the finished dress to the front of the store, she caught sight of a sleek black car pulling up outside. The kind of car only the city's elite could afford. Annie didn't pay much attention-until the boutique's bell chimed and he walked in.
A tall, impeccably dressed man with piercing eyes and an air of quiet authority. The air in the boutique seemed to shift as if the temperature had dropped a few degrees. He glanced around, unimpressed, before locking eyes with Annie.
She had no idea that this moment would change her life forever.
