Do you remember those stories about how the Earth and life as we know it came to be? Whether it be from a scientist perspective, or a deeply religious person's. Well erase all of that, because it's all wrong. Your life lays in the palm of his hand. He is the cards dealer, and you are the gambler. You are the mouse, and he is the merciless lion. He is the hunter, and you are the prey. In the blink of an eye, he could make or break your life. He could give you riches, or make you dirt poor. He could flood you with illnesses that would make you cry for mercy, or he could make you as healthy as a horse. He could take away everything and everyone that you care about, or make sure that you all live a perfect little life. So, like I previously said: your life lays in the palm of his powerful hand; and as the fates would have it, my life was destined to intertwine with his.

You know when people say it's okay to make mistakes? That it's only human? That rule doesn't apply to Charlotte McVerry. Every mistake she makes defines her life. Every wrong step gets criticized and plastered across dozens of magazines. You know how everyone is born into the world for a purpose? Charlotte believes that her existence doesn't have a purpose. Her parents could care less about her and she felt as if her life was controlled. She was only a puppet on a string, around for solely the use of her parents. Charlotte used to want to become a professional photographer and leave her life behind. She wanted to travel the world, not including the occasional business trips her parents took her on. But most of all, she wanted to experience love. She wanted to know how it felt to be cared about so much. She wanted someone to hold her and hug her and someone to kiss her. It didn't take long for Charlotte's opinion of love to change. In her mind, love became a cruel, heart-wrenching feeling that only brought tears. After falling for Louis Tomlinson of One Direction, her mind convinced her that she was wrong about love after all. That it wasn't all about hugs and kisses. That falling in love was a mistake. What Charlotte doesn't know is that every mistake serves a purpose.
