Chương 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. I had a boyfriend I loved to pieces, held down a job like a champ and was in an ongoing feud with a boy that irritated me to the core of my bones.

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.

Now, it seems like I wasn't the only one that was falling with no safety net.
