I was known all over Kingsford as the infamous ungrateful wretch. I was a nightclub singer, cherished by the young heir of the wealthy Foster family, yet I treated him like dirt. To make me happy, James had rented every LED screen in the city to declare his love for me. But I turned around and posted on my account about how cringe it was. When my enemies kidnapped me, he stormed in all by himself to save me, breaking two ribs. But after I was rescued, I shoved him away, complaining that he was being nosy. James even broke with his family to marry me, begging in the pouring rain for three whole days. Meanwhile, I was sitting on a mob boss's lap, feeding him wine, arm in arm. Everyone in Kingsford was placing bets on when James would finally see through me and realize I was just some vain, shallow girl. But in reality, I was an undercover cop working the drug squad. Blending into the nightclub scene was my cover, all so I could get close to Zack Jennings, the guy everyone called the Drug King. James's devotion was the biggest obstacle to my mission. I kept humiliating him, hoping he'd finally back off, but every time I knocked him down, he came back even stronger. Just when I was about to earn Zack's trust, James rushed in like a madman and nearly exposed my identity. My team decided that since I couldn't get rid of James, I might as well use my status as his fiancée to dive even deeper into the heart of danger. So for the first time, I broke my own rules and agreed to marry him. Three years slipped by in a flash. I still hadn't collected enough evidence against Zack. Then James brought home a sweet, innocent-looking girl and tried to throw me out.
