When my dad cut me off and locked my bank accounts, my so-called life was so-called over. Thank god for my uncle Carter who gave me a roof over my head while I figured my shit out. Where does a guy who never worked a day in his life even begin rebuilding? A cheap-ass apartment complex, of course.

Enter Lauren Monroe. We met in an elevator and I felt her hatred immediately...which naturally pulled me in. I latched on to her to teach me the way of the poor, and in doing so I developed something I never felt for a girl before.

Real feelings.

Just when I thought life had thrown me the biggest twist, I went and fell for a girl that hated me. But that wasn’t the worst part.

The hardest part was finding out the truth and not being able to do a damn thing about the fallout from it.
