BEING REWRITTEN THIS IS THE OLD VERSION You haven't learnt anything until you learn monsters have nightmares too. Paint me as a villain and call me a monster but I am the architect of my own destruction and that will forever remain engraved inside me. -------------------------- "We need to get you home" he says attempting to keep me standing.

It has a mixture of drama, love, forgery, murder, assassins, mafias, betrayal, lies and secrets.
