Alina's Backstory:

Alina Maddox was a brilliant kid. She was very smart, independent and the favorite kid in the family. Her Mother wasn't around much in her life because she was a doctor and her shifts would be long, and her father would raise her and her siblings, and teach them all he could.

Their father, George Maddox was a Billionaire, he owned his businesses and most of Los Angeles. He was rich, so Alina and her family lived a luxurious life.

Her siblings always loved their life, but Alina was determined to work for what she wanted and not depend on a penny. That's what she did.

Alina always knew her father got caught up in mafia gangs, and got associated with dangerous people. Her father was friends with Xavier Turner, CEO of Turner Enterprises and owned most of the Country. Little did she know that her father would be manipulated, used, back stabbed, and Killed by Xavier and his son Tristan.

Ever since she found out about her father's death, her pain was unbearable. George was her best friend, he raised her, loved and cared for Alina, and she knew that he was a busy man but he knew he was a father, and he made sure that his children came first even if he didn't need to. George and Alina had the strongest relationship out of all the Maddox kids, and Alina took his death the hardest.

Every single day that passed after his death was hard, and every single second was misery. Her pain would get more stronger and eventually all she felt was Anger. All she ever wanted was to seek revenge on Tristan for what he and his father did to George.

'Whatever happens is what happens, but I promise on everything I love in this fucked up world that I will make you understand, make you suffer, the way you made my father suffer.' She Thought.

Only she did not know that she would fall for her enemy.....

Tristan's Backstory:

Tristan Turner is the eldest son of his Billionaire Mafia Leader father, Xavier Turner. When Tristan was a kid, he had a good heart, loved and cared about people, he wanted to change their fate and make this world a better place but that all changed in the blink of an eye.

Since Tristan's family was a Mafia Family, doing the right thing and being the good person never worked out for him. His fathers and uncles would beat him until he was blue in the face, and his cousins would use him as their pet, making him do whatever they wanted. When he wouldn't do what they wanted, they would blame him for things and Tristan would get beat.

Eventually, Tristan started to become a cruel person, not caring about anyone or anything. People thought of him as weak because he was always a good person. His family were cruel and it proved their power and strength, and Tristan wasn't.

He wanted to show everyone that he wasn't weak, that he will one day rule everyone in this world and he decided no more good guy. His father was using his friend, George Maddox, for more profit and to take over his businesses and everything he ever earned and owned. His father ordered him to kill George, and he did just that. Ever since that day, he showed that he is worthy, that he is strong and eventually will take up after his father and the family business.

Soon he became a very important person. CEO and Billionaire, owning half of every state in the United States and even a few out of the country. Some people loved Tristan and some people didn't, but he didn't care. As long as he was in charge, he could care less what happens to anyone.

Only he didn't know that a girl would change his heart, that he was the reason behind her pain and wanting to be better for her. Only if he knew that he would fall for her and be consumed by every single thing she does, he would have warned himself....

Chapter 1 :

ALINA'S POV:

It has been 5 years since my fathers death, but the pain is still there. Since he died, everything in my life changed. George was the person who loved me unconditionally and made sure I was always happy.

I never really needed much of a family, because at a young age, I was already an independent person. I could care for myself, but I loved my father and the effort he had put into raising me and my siblings when our mother wasn't home.

He was a busy man, and he always had something he needed to do, and that's the reason I have always never depended on other people.

My mother couldn't always teach us what a mother should, because she was constantly working late shifts every day, and when she would come home, I would sometimes already be asleep and when I woke up, she would be gone.

My father was there for us though, he always put us first and even when he didn't need to, he did anyway. He was the definition of a father and a friend. I was always closer to George than he ever was with Bryce, Victoria, or Ashley.

I also took his death the most painful because of it.

Victoria was the oldest, Bryce was the 2nd oldest, and Ashley was the youngest. Ashley thought of me as a second mom because I was always there for her when mom wasn't.

I taught her things she needed to know in life, and Ashley always looked up to me because of it. She depended on me, and after our fathers death, everything was way harder for all of us.

They needed me to be strong, but I was the one who was hurt the most, and I never could hide how I felt. When our mother heard the news about our father, she was hurt but she was still the same Malinda Maddox, intoxicated and addicted to her work, never abandoning her work for her children who needed her the most.

Our Mother could care less about us. She always felt we were more of a burden than a help, but we were fine with her gone. She never did much for us, we could only depend on ourselves, each other, and our father.

When George died, our family became distant, especially me. I don't feel bad for being distant, I needed the distance from my family.

They didn't understand how I actually felt. More hurt than they could ever have been, and they never understood me, even when I explained to them.

I had a few friends: Anastasia Clark, Romelo Butera, Rachel Adams, Maxwell Johnson, and Carla Anderson. I haven't talked to them in a few days, mostly because I have been busy with my Job at the office.

I lost my Job 3 years back at the diner for slacking, and eventually a few months later, I got an offer to be the personal assistant of billionaire 'Douglas Black' CEO of Black Enterprises and International.He was understanding of my situation and how I felt, he was patient with me and gave me space, so we always got along well.

To say he was strict, he was very nice to me and I appreciated how he was calm and cool with everything I was going through.

Although I dedicate myself to my Job and stay isolated from the world as much as possible, I can't get sidetracked from my actual plans. Since I found out who killed my father, I have been planning my revenge on them for years.

Xavier Turner and his cruel son Tristan will pay for what they did. They can't just think they can kill innocent people and get away with it? They took the most important person out of my life, and they will not walk away from it so easily.

I will make them understand how it feels, I swear that I will. Fucking killers! They should be ashamed of what they are and what they do!

I'm currently at work finishing up my tasks for my boss. Why he gave me all these files to look over at once, I don't know, but i'm not gonna complain about it.

I am snapped out of my thoughts by hearing my phone ring disturbingly loud on my desk. Ugh! why do I keep forgetting to put this stupid phone on silent. I quickly answer the phone annoyed at whoever is calling.

"Hello?"

"Alina where are you?!" My best friend Rachel screamed into the phone.

"Um hey Rachel, I am at work. Is everything okay?" I asked her

"Oh I'm sorry for disturbing you, I know how you get, sorry!"

"No it's okay but what are you calling for exactly?"

"We can talk later, you should go back to whatever you were doing, sorry for bothering you lina"

"No! You called me, tell me why and then i'll go back to my work." I stated to Rachel. I will never understand why they do this.

"Um I just passed by your house to see if you wanted to go get lunch but it's okay, no worries. I'm sorry, I forgot you didn't have another day off."

"Oh it's okay, is that all?"

"Well....."

"Well What" I asked her

I really don't have time to sit and hear her stutter all day, I have things to do and she is wasting my time.

"I.. I um..."

"Please spit it out Rachel, I really have to get back to work"

"I was coming down from the house to leave when I noticed there was a car by your house, and 3 guys walked out. They all had sunglasses on, so I didn't see them clearly but the one in the front had asked for you. I told him you weren't there and he asked where you were, I said I didn't know and he just left."

"Did he give you any name?"

"No, he just left after I told him I didn't know where you were"

"Oh ok, Thanks for telling me, I will figure it all out later. I need to go though"

"Ok I don't want to hold you. Call me when you leave"

"Sure thing Rachel"

I ended the call afterwards and sat it back down on my office table. Who were those guys? And what did they want? Why were they at my house? Do I know them? I had so many unanswered questions that I was eager to answer, but I couldn't.

I can't think of anyone or a reasoning on why they needed to see me. I surely will have to figure this out.

The rest of the day, I was too consumed in my head trying to figure out who those guys could have been. I didn't get much work done today because I am still curious about those guys, but I don't need distractions.

Finally it was time to pack up and go home. I apologized and told my boss I didn't get much done and he was nice enough to let me finish it at home. Hopefully I can finish it, there are so many other things I have to figure out.

Getting into my 2020 BMW X7 M50i , I head to my house. The guys probably won't come back. But who could it be? I still have no clue and it's killing me not to know this. Those guys could be anyone for all I know.

You know what, I'm just gonna forget all about this, because I'm not getting anywhere trying to figure everything out.

Once I get home, I finally finish reading over all the documents and adding some notes for tomorrow. I don't live with anyone besides my cute little pup Abigail, she is very fun to play with but very nice and calm, but I don't have any people who live with me. I love my space that I have. People are too chaotic for me, so when I get peace and quiet, I savor every single second of it. I fixed some chicken Alfredo for dinner, and afterwards went to go take a shower. Once I got out of the shower, I put my night clothes on and checked the time. It was 10:18 at night. I needed to go to sleep if I wanted to get out of bed tomorrow for work, so I made sure to feed Abbi before getting into my bed. My mind is still going through all the possibilities on why 3 unknown guys were coming to see me, but I need to go to bed and I can worry about this tomorrow, and eventually my mind eases and I drift off to sleep.
