Gia knew Isaac as her adopted sister's boyfreind. A boy with a bad reputation and who liked to tease her for her place of birth and race (sort of). She didn't like him. She spent as little time with him as possible. But then she was kidnapped, and Isaac right along with her. Thrown into an, at first, unknown situation, she was forced to depend on someone she hadn't ever thought she would have to, even more so when the unknown situation became clearer. They were taken by a cruel couple, a cruel couple who couldn't adopt or have children of their own. An insane, wicked couple who decided instead of going the way of surrogacy or find willing participants, and instead force two unwilling people to conceive and birth their children for them.

Five out of Ten, that was her score, that was Luca Mato's given score for how well she was in bed. It was a senior prank, one that went horribly wrong when she ended up pregnant. Nessa Tyler had never had a an easy life, she didn't trust and she didn't hope. She made a mistake, her worse one yet, when she allowed Luca Mato to be a part of her life. Now, their lives are to be intertwined, and with trust broken and hope gone, it will be especially difficult, especially considering Luca's life isn't exactly one anyone would want to be dragged into.
