Richard Johnson, a multi-billionaire feared in the underworld, has everything—power, money, and influence. But beneath the iron mask he wears lies a torment he cannot escape. Haunted by chronic insomnia and blinding migraines, he hides his weakness from enemies who would use it to destroy him. The pills prescribed by his doctors offer little relief and come with a cost he can no longer bear. In the middle of a Mafia war, his sanity hangs by a thread.

Amanda Peterson knows pain in her own way. Abandoned by her father for another woman, she grew up with rejection etched deep in her heart. Yet destiny leads her back to the man she once adored from afar—Richard, her childhood crush, now a dangerous figure in a world of blood and betrayal.

When their paths collide, sparks ignite between them. To Richard, Amanda becomes more than a memory—she may be the cure his body and soul have been searching for. To Amanda, Richard is both the dream she once held close and the danger she should run from.

But in a city ruled by violence, love can be the greatest risk of all. Can Amanda truly be Richard’s Sleeping Pill—his peace amidst the chaos—or will the darkness of his world consume them both?

Chapter 1
The Manson of Johnsons is in uproar since morning. The young child and the only son of Mr and Mrs Mark Johnsons is coming back for the first time. He has never been in New York before. He was born in Europe. Mr Johnsons the grandfather of the family, had two sons; Mark and Michael. His two sons has married and was staying with their families in the big Johnsons Mansion, apart from Richard Johnsons who had never returned home since he was born. His parents forced him to come back as grandpa has threatened to remove him from his inheritance. His father Mark had begged him to come back for three years now but he had refused to come back. And his parents had threatened him with their lives if he refused to come back this year. Mark had put in a lot for the growth of their family business and cannot sit and watch as his sweat would be given to his elder brother after he had refused to join the family business when it was struggling to grow. He rather be dead than see his elder brother and his children take away his sweat from him. It bleeds his heart than his only son is not interested in the inheritance and has refused to come back, even when his father has requested for his presence. That was the reason he told his son that he rather be dead than watch his elder brother Michael and his children take over his sweat. Richard had really been refused to come back because of some little inheritance. If not that his parents has insisted that he should be back and the value they had placed on the wealth he wouldn't have thought about coming back because of it. What his parents didn't know is that, he was one the most powerful and richest multi-billionaire internationally. He has many multi-billion companies and businesses across the world. And that was the reason he found it ridiculous that he needed some little inheritance in his life now but because of the love and respect he has for his parents, he has decided to come back home so that his parents would be happy. His grandpa Johnsons, has pleaded with him to come back for a long time now but he has refused to leave his business which was suffering a little then. But now he has stabilized it and he has decided to come back for a while and also attend to his business here as well. Today is the big day that everyone awaits the return of the youngest child of the family of The Johnsons. Everyone here in the mansion were busy. Even grandpa who hardly show any emotions was also busy directing his men on what to do. Indeed it was as if Jesus was coming. Many and different dishes were prepared for his home coming. Every nook and cranny was cleaned. Every maids and servants were instructed and assigned what to do. Amanda What's going on? l couldn't stop asking myself this question, everyone was busy as a bee. I couldn't comprehend what was going on. I resumed my duty this evening. I had been on my off days for a week. Only to resume and found out that everyone and everywhere is so busy. I'm wondering what celebration they are preparing for again. This family love partying like craze. Anyways I will find out soon, what big celebration they where preparing for. People are seriously running here and there preparing for what I don't understand. Everywhere is so busy,even more busy than any party or celebration l had seen them prepare for before, since l started working here last month. It was my friend Bliss that helped me get the job. She has connections and she talked to her uncle who was a Steward here and boom, l received the job to work as one of the chief here. And their pay is also very high and good. Even if it's stressful, it worth the pay. I'm a graduate of one of the prestigious university in the country. I'm a first class graduate with an outstanding result. I'm good at my job. I love cooking a lot. Cooking is like music to me. You rather starve me than ask me to not to cooking. As l keep on advancing into the mansion, l was seriously looking around for my bestie who was my colleague. I went straight to the kitchen department to start off my duty for the day. The head chief was there already giving orders. When I entered the massive kitchen, I spotted my bestie as she was peeling onions. What's going on? I asked her even without greeting her. Evening, she responded my question with a greeting. Forgive my manners but what exactly is happening today please? I apologized. You don't know? She asked. Know what? I replied with a question. The youngest child of the Johnsons is coming home today. Infact, he should have been back already. Everyone is expecting him. He should have been here but no one knows what's holding him, up till now. Grandpa's birthday is tomorrow and he should have been back. I just hope he wouldn't disappoint them as he used to do, she complained. Let's hope he comes back and celebrate Grandpa's birthday tomorrow. He would be very happy if he would come back before grandpa 's birthday, l reasoned with her. Before we could finish our discussion, Ma Sara came up to us. Don't tell me you too have started gossiping already, even when everyone is so busy, she shouted at us and we immediately dispatched. Amanda she called me, have l assigned Amy duty to you? She asked me in a serious tune. No at all, Ma Sara. Then l have to assign one to you immediately before Richard comes back. She brought out her list and went through it . You would be in charge of serving the youngest Master throughout his stay here. She instructed and went out of the Kitchen.
