Kaiser was always "rebellious and hard headed". She was a tough girl raised by her older brother Malcolm. So it was hard for her to embrace her girly and soft side. She usually never dated boys, because they were all too impatient to understand how she worked. She usually got her way when it came to everybody even Malcolm, but that list stayed short once she met King. King wasn't your typical man. He was discreet and quiet but powerful and well respected. But he did have some parts about him that were typical. He was part of the drug cartel along with Kaiser's brother Malcolm. King and Kaiser were never supposed to cross paths. They are both hard headed and stubborn, but put these two together and mix intense emotions, there is nothing anyone can do.

This love story is more than just hot chemistry-it's about trust, healing, and finding someone who truly sees you.

Every time Isaiah looked at himself in the mirror, he was constantly reminded of the most traumatic moment of his life. He grew to hate himself until Namiko randomly waltzed into his life one day and began teaching him how to love himself again. It was as if she was his second chance. He'd been so pissed off all night to the point where he was physically shaking like a ticking bomb. This one hug from her felt like the rainbow after a severe thunderstorm. He couldn't believe that his sanity really depended on her. He'd never reached this point of love before. She brought him so much peace. That's why he loved her the way that he did; the reason why he couldn't stand to spend a single second away from her and why he depended on her to keep him sane. She was just it; like a breath of fresh air. He never expected the woman that ended up stealing his heart would be a real life Disney Princess wandering cluelessly around New York City; an autistic one, at that.

"they got nothin on you baby"!
