Chapter 1

This isn't a story of a perfect life with a happily ever after ending.

Prince Charming won't ride up in a fancy carriage and whisk the fair maiden away to a stone castle where they'll be safe forever.

This isnt a tale where you know everyone is safe and out of harm's way.

This isn't a fairy tale.

This isn't a dream life.

This is a real life; a real life in which no happy ending lies.

Where Prince Charming comes too late to save the girl.

Where the so safeguarded castle comes crumbling down at the least opportune moment.

This is a story of hate and crime and misleadings.

This is life.

An amazing life.
