章 88: HOLY

Let's have a rundown of the real life soap-opera that is Melody Jones' life. In the beginning of the school year, I was a normal teenager going to a rich kids' school.

Things started taking a turn at the tail end of the year when I got involved in an accident, had the police tell me that my boyfriend is somehow involved in the mafia, the said boyfriend went MIA, I was assigned a bodyguard because someone wants my head on a silver platter and I started falling hard for the boy I wanted to throttle.
