The Trouble With Love Is
Summary: Las Vegas, 1952. James Buchanan Barnes is the newest, and youngest, Capo in town. But amid the glitz and shadows of the Strip, he never expects to find you, the beautiful singer who vanished from his life six years ago without a trace. After a night of passion you hurry home and Bucky follows. He finds out your secret. And he's not going to let you keep it to yourself.
Pairing: Mafia!Bucky Barnes x Lounge Singer!Reader

The moment you sensed that Bucky knew about you and Jamie, you knew you needed to leave.
You didn’t send Jamie to school that morning. Instead, you packed light, a single suitcase with only the essentials.
On the way to the station, you withdrew the money you’d been stashing away for years. Just enough to disappear. One-way tickets north, straight to Canada.
You didn’t call the club. That would tip Bucky off.
Beyond that, you didn’t let yourself think about what came next.
Not about the ache in your chest or the weight of the past.
Or the night you spent with Bucky.
You just had to keep moving.
