That someone gives her something that has her believe in hope again and that brings back the strength that she had lost now. After she makes up her mind, her life will change. But will it be for better or for worse? * A mature story that contains strong language and sexual content.* **I realized that this doesn't happen in many books, or none (I haven't read a book where this type of writing was used) but I want to let you know that during the story and when the characters speak, the person's name is in between brackets before the speech.

When it was off, Hannah didn't make a move to return the kiss. Christian wanted to lower his eyes so he could finally see what he has dreamt of for so many times but he knew Hannah was worried about something. (Hannah) "What're we doing?" (Christian) "You were the one who kissed me!" - he laughed. She rolled her eyes and sighed, rubbing her forehead. That's when Christian knew it was something serious. (Christian) "Why do you have to overthink everything?" - he sighed too. She looked at him in disbelief. (Hannah) "Maybe because I don't want to get hurt! I know you, Christian. Relationship is not a word on your dictionary!" (Christian) "Maybe because you haven't give me a chance!" (Hannah) "You're a mobster! My mom died because of a mobster! You think I want to end up like her?!" (Christian) "I've told you that I won't anything happen to you." (Hannah) "You can't-" He interrupted her by kissing her. He wanted her to shut up and stop worrying about everything and he knew that kissing her would definitely make her stop thinking. * A mature story that contains strong language and sexual content.* **I realized that this doesn't happen in many books, or none (I haven't read a book where this type of writing was used) but I want to let you know that during the story and when the characters speak, the person's name is in between brackets before the speech.
