Amelia had known Frankie Bianchi for more than a decade now. When he gave her that job fifteen years ago, she had always been thankful to him. Though Shadow had changed a lot compared to how it was when it first started, she had already gotten used to that life and there was nothing else that she could do outside. She didn't know what she signed up for and when she learned about it eventually, it was too late to turn around and walk away from it.
She had learned to turn a blind eye about the things she heard within the walls of Shadow and just tried to live her life far from her son. She had already made the mistake of leaving him. She certainly didn't deserve having him in her life now. The moment she walked out on him, she lost her rights.
Amelia wished that for Damien's sake, she had been stronger, that she had made a better choice, that she had been more mature to make the right decisions in life.
