Everything started five years ago. 

Elise Collins was framed, left everything behind, and ran away, never wanting to even take a glance at it again. However, news of her being pregnant spreads like a wildfire in the city, and her thought that someone will be able to help her, crumbles as everyone avoids her like she’s a curse.

Everyone seemed to know Grandpa. You. Dante." I gesture to my mate. "Thomas Martino was my best friend, Aly. In fact, he was the only true friend I had. This job doesn't come with much popularity."
