Riley's mother was killed the night before she turned three. She was put into foster care and now lives with an alcohol-addicted father. She practically lives with a monster. She tends to sleep in the local library or the school so that she doesn't have to deal with her foster father. 

       A new kid shows up in school, Max, and just about every girl is head over heels for him, and the only girl he has eyes for is Riley. Though Max's older brother, Octavius, has stolen Riley before Max could ever get to her.

       She finds her mother's killer and things don't end very well, for her or anyone. She pushes people away. Octavius gets her out of her funk eventually. He proposes to her and soon after he is drafted for a war going on overseas. A year passes and Octavius is listed as Killed in Action.

       Riley soon moves on from her past and marries Max and has two children. Five yours pass and Octavius returns home to find the love of his life has moved on. Death soon became inevitable for both of them.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʙᴇʟɪᴇᴠᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʀᴜᴇ ʟᴏᴠᴇ? ᴄᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜ sᴏʟᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍʏsᴛᴇʀʏ? Murder... The word that people despised. It brought not only loss but stands for death. One of the many things that scares humans; as their was really no way to control it... One of the many things that changed her life forever. ~ "Please don't leave me." I pleaded, looking down at my my limp mother. Her blood went around us, staining the floor. This is all my fault... If only I had locked the door that night. The intruders words rang through my head, over and over again; like a broken record. "This is all your fault." My father spit. Breaking anything in his path. That day the old him was gone, never to return. The nightmare of this day would haunt me in my sleep; as my life was never the same. Life was unfair, the world is a horrible place. It was like everything came crashing down at one moment. The only person I had left after that was my best friend... We slowly grew apart as he didn't know what went on behind the doors of my house. Years passed, as the day still made my life worse. Not having the money to move I was still stuck in the same house... By the same river. Soon anouther murrder happened, the same way as... My mother's. Suspicions spread though the small town. A twenty minute ride to there. I would live in town to if I had the money. That day when the decective came to the door; it was just fate. As I didn't know it then... But, he would save me. It... Was just something about the way he looked at me; that made my heart go a mile a minute.
