Like everyone else, Christina Drake has a lot of secrets. The only difference is hers are a lot harder to conceal. For instance, her real name isn't even Christina Drake.
In order to keep those secrets, she has a lot of training. She has learnt to disarm, to charm and how to be as nondescript as possible, so ordinary that nobody would have the recollection of ever meeting her.
She has learnt black from white and to her, they are so distinct that there are no grey areas. Though she may not be in total control of her life, everything is simple and she is just fine with this arrangement. Or at least...until she meets someone who turns her world upside down and whose moral compass is as grey as smoke.

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you. I would die for you and you clearly wouldn't do the same." - Trinity's planner didn't originally have "falling in love with Aaron Florence" on it, but after a heated night and multiple dates, it became a daily thing.
