She stared at Levent's words. The idea of someone taking over her business hadn't even occurred to her. If she stepped down Amy was afraid the people under her power wouldn't know what to do, and even if she did back away her actions would force her to accept that power. Only being around those who didn't know her would give her the true freedom she sought. As it was Amy chuckled at his words. No, I'm not afraid of an usurper. They wouldn't be able to keep the control long enough. If I step down, there won't be anything for someone to take over.
That wasn't the whole truth. Amy knew that there other criminals out there who could wield just as much power. The difference was the kind of rule, and the actions of the ruler. Even if someone claimed her territory it wouldn't be from a takeover. It would be from another's campaign for power. She could understand Levent's words though. Many in power were afraid of being usurped. Her problem was that the only way to get away from her power would be to leave Europe.
Gently Amy tucked into the meat. It was the best the restaurant had to offer, tender with just a little blood in it. Chewing Amy turned Levent's words around in her head. Could she really do it? It would take courage to leave everything she knew behind, and Amy didn't know how far she'd have to flee to leave behind those with connections to her family. If she tried though, there might be a small chance. A glimmer of hope showed in Amy's eyes.
