Background: Vivian grew up in a lower class family. At 8 her mother died and she was left to be raised by her father who grew to be abusive and violent after her death. At a young age she had to learn to defend herself at a very young age. Her father died when she was 10 and she was left alone. She lost the house of course and was left on the streets of Birmingham. Everyday she went to random houses in the neighborhood. After being turned away from every house she traveled to Northwich Cheshire knowing she may have better luck. She traveled 12 hours by horse over the course of 2 days. She decided that looking for a place to stay was useless and was homeless for 10 more years. By 26 she had made a name for herself, know as The Killer Queen, she took part in lots of illegal activity, mainly selling cocaine. However, you name it, she's done it. Who once was a nice and caring soul, became one of the most heartless and ruthless people in Birmingham after leaving Cheshire.

This is my first attempt at a serious story so I hope you enjoy.
This does not follow the plot of the story with Grace at all. She doesn't exist here lol.
Like said in the description Violence and Drugs are a big part of this story and there will be mature content later on (I'll label those chapters in the title)
If you could share my story I would greatly appriciate it
