[COMPLETE] Nadine and Braxton were not supposed to meet, or ever cross paths.
Their worlds were different, yet connected at the same time. But now that they've met, it's not likely that they will ever be the same again.
Her, an addict who uses sex and drugs to run from the pain she feels inside.
Him, a kingpin so detached from himself that he doesn't know who he is and lacks connection in every way.
Finding love in a hopeless place was nearly impossible, but Nadine and Braxton are stronger than either of them think.
