i do not own any of the characters but alyssa parker.
JJ was no stranger to hard work. The boy had practically worked his entire life to pay for food and bills.
Natalia was an angel compared to JJ. She was an angel compared to anyone. JJ didn't deserve an angel. He was a broke, no good high schooler with a tendency to get in trouble. Natalia didn't deserve to be tangled up in his troubled life, so he promised he'd become better. He promised that he'd work to better himself and give Natalia the love she deserves.
But JJ is a Maybank, after all. It's in their blood to destroy the people they love the most. JJ wants to push her away, to keep her far away from his destined future. But as time goes on, the harder it becomes to keep his desires to himself. And if JJ did anything, it was acting on impulse, and both his brain and his heart were set on the same thing. Natalia Thornton.
Could you blame him? After all, the heart wants what it wants, right?
