Chapter 1

Life makes us do things we hate the most. The same happened to Rosaleen Moore. She hated holy edifice of the church ever since her father died, her mother promised never to bring her there again but destiny played it's role. There stood Rosaleen just outside the foyer of the church, debating if it was necessary to go inside. She sighed and stepped in. Michelle, her mother died of a suspected heart attack. To die such a death is so painful but her mother had that faint smile on her face. Rosaleen stood just beside the casket, her arm crossed, placed over her torso.

She succeeded in not acting insane in front of so many family members but deep inside her every feeling was tangled. Aunt Linda, one of her closest family members, tried her best to comfort her. Some of them even offered her help with money and shelter but Rosaleen clearly denied, she never wanted to be a burden on anybody. After the burial and seeing off everybody, she turned around to bid one last goodbye to her mother.

"Hello?" She called out to the black figure standing there. As soon as she started taking quick steps it disappeared.

"I'm okay" She said to herself to control those feelings which were making her see things.

After a crappy weekend full of weeping, Rosaleen decided to finally stop weeping and get a part time job. So, it was decided that she would roam around the city after college.

After a couple of minutes, she was in the college, her eyes desperately searching for the one person, Stacy, her best friend. Stacy was at times, rude to her but she never took her seriously until today.

Rosaleen made her way through the crowd to the familiar short figure but she slowed down after seeing the person beside her. She pulled her arm.

"Hey, Stace what are you doing with him?" She said sternly her grip on her arm tightened.

"Get the hell off me and I'm talking with my boyfriend!" She shouted violently pulling her arm away.

"You're what?" Said Rosaleen wishing that her ears were mistaken.

"B-O-Y-F-R-I-E-N-D. Boyfriend!" She spelled it for her and smiled. The whole hall turned their eyes to the three of them.

Rosaleen slapped Stacy hard across her face and grabbed her jaw.

"Hey, Hey. Back off!" A pair of hands made her hit her back hard on the wall.

It was Alton Palpatine , popularly know as Ton, is the evil man slut, ready to make out with anyone, anywhere. Rose always had a problem with them being together because he causes trouble wherever he goes. He has many criminal records including murder, but he was always left well enough because his father holds a powerful position in the city, also, he screwed with her sister and left her to die with the baby in her womb.

"You stay away from her" Said he lifting her up by her jaw. She struggled under his strong grip, gasping for breath. He smirked and left her, causing her to fall on straight on the hard floor. Now you think that this news is going to the dean right? Of course not! The dean of the college was beaten in the middle of the road just because he summoned Ton to his office.

"What are you looking at jokers?" He turned around and shouted at the people. Everybody downcast their gaze and walked off the hall.

"Baby, I am right after you" He placed a hand on Stacy's shoulder. Stacy shot a look at her showing no care and she left leaving Ton and Rosaleen.

"YOU!" Said he as he walked towards her. She shrank back more and more until she reached the corner. He bent as low as her, sitting on his toes, running his fingers through her hair, her heart throbbed heavily against her chest. What is he going to do to her?

"I am sorry about your mother" He said pressing her arm.

"It's absolutely okay, no problem..hehe..I have to go!" She tried to escape but he made her sit again.

"Look, stay out of it. Let me do what I want because there are lot of hungry boys in here" He gently rubbed her hand on her thighs.
