LOVE ISN'T SOMETHING I thought I would ever find, especially at the young age of nineteen. I was never looking either. I also never believed in fate, or finding your "soulmate." I never witnessed anything other than simple toleration of your partner because I never had parents that were madly in love. But when I met the criminal threatening everything I love, I never expected him to take an interest in me, especially because we were supposed to be business enemies. I was considered a relatively good girl because I'd never done anything wrong, underage drinking, drugs, getting into fights, nothing. Although I was a spitfire when I wanted to be one, nobody thought that was considered anything out of the ordinary, except for that one criminal that wouldn't leave me alone. No matter how much I thought I wanted him to exit my life forever, he stayed. A good girl and a criminal, not a good combination, or so I thought.
