Julian was six, living with Nina Greatman (his mother and a single mom) in a rough side of the country, when a war broke out and took Nina's life.  


Before all that, Nina and Julian lived in poverty despite the fact that His mother earned good money from her work at a strip club. Julian doesn't know Nina's actual work at the strip club and that wasn't the only thing he didn't know about her. 

His life turned 360 degrees when he was saved by a soldier after seeing his mom shot and watching her lifeless body falling down the water fall when they tried to escape.






"Mommmmmmmyyyyy!!!!!!" I scream as my mom's body goes limp and falls down the water fall. Before I can jump too, a soldier carries me and runs into the bushes. It is all my fault. We would've crossed to the other side if I wasn't scared to jump on the stepping stones and mommy would still be alive. I clean my tears. 






That was the incident that changed his entire life.  Follow Julian as he walks through the journey of the dangerous path this cruel world put him through.

I yelled but before I could breathe in I was pinned to the wall. I gasped. Staring into his dark blue eyes made every bone of my body weak. He smirked, knowing exactly what he did. "You got too comfortable with me, doll but I didn't show you what Ace can really do." He mumbled. He broke the eye contact we were having and leaned closer to my neck. My heart beat was racing his and each breath he took sent electricity all over my body. I bit my tongue, scared of what my brain could make me say. "And I don't think you want to know," he whispered so close to my ear sending shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath, trying to collect my thoughts. He moved back to stare into my eyes, wanting to see his effect on me but I didn't give it to him. I smirked, pushed my chin down and looked up at him.

24 parts Complete Mature
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.
