People looking at my life would think ‘wow she’s so lucky’ but I’m far from it. Five years ago my entire world changed. The older I get the more I start to think that maybe what I know about my family is all an illusion. Maybe the family business isn’t just what it looks like on the outside, but the cause for my devastation when I was sixteen. I never thought five years later my world would start to unravel around me. Some parts amazing, other parts a nightmare. The amazing part was hard to let in. He was everything I wasn’t looking for but turned out to be everything I needed and more. The nightmare was… well let’s just say a nightmare. Something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I knew I would need to fight with everything that I had to make the nightmare go away. My name is Gabriella Ashford and this is my story. 18+ WARNING contains bad language, violence and some explicit sex scenes.
