Chapter 1
Katelynn POV

smarty-pants students you always see with books. Nor am I one of those spoiled brats of rich parents. I don't have any free time to enjoy with friends and explore the outside world. But it's fine.

All I can think is what did he do?

The man chuckled, and said he owes me six grand, sweetheart. s**t, I curse, umm mr? I replied, without knowing his name. It’s D’Angelo but you can call me Mr. Moretti. Ok ummm mr. Moretti we don’t have that kind of money. I say well sweetheart, you better find a way. He say emotionless. and before I can speak another word, he cut the call, leaving me angry and defeated
