I am Maureen Ashford. My mother died at my birth, so I was only left with my father. My father, Heron Ashford, is a Mafia boss. He was very protective of me and who I was seeing. He was extremely judgemental, judging people on their wealth and class rather than their heart and soul.

For you, it was different. You had both your parents, but your father was constantly drunk and sleeping with other woman. When he does come back to you, he's always shouting at your mother. Your mother was working. She was barely managing with her husband and even money wise. Just making it through life. You went to college on a full bursary/scholarship.

On the first day of the college. Your class was the same as mine. Most of our classes we had together. For physics and Math, we sat next to each other. But we never really talked as I was the popular one and you were just "there". Though, I was watching you. How you were humble, kind, peaceful... That made me fall in love with you even though I never talked to you. Until our 5th physics class together. I stared talking to you every day and sometimes I would even invite you to sit with me. But you didn't, you had one of your closest friends that you always sat with. One day, I asked you to homecoming and you said yes. A few days later, it was extremely cold after the homecoming. After school, I saw you waiting at a bus stop, waiting for your bus.
