I Could Be the One Your Love Could Save

Prologue

It was really no secret to his family and friends that he was involved in a life of crime, but that didn't stop me for falling completely for him. All it really took was a couple of trips to the grocery store. It's funny how life seems to sort itself out and everything falls into place after a long stretch of turmoil. For him, his entire life up until a few years ago proved more so than others. He was Niko Bellic, an Eastern European man who has delt with the most challenging life any human has had the displeasure of living. After all the pain he has had to live, I think it was high time he had a more enjoyful life filled with happiness, love, and just him feeling comfortable in his own skin.

It was in the after glow in our passionate lovemaking, did I drift off into how I met this man. As improbable as it may seem how a "retired" criminal wound up with a girl like me seems to be a cheesy love movie. I say retired because who can really retire from being a hired hitman? Well, that's how he called it. He cut off all ties from the people who needed his services and decided that it was time for him to try to change himself. The calls, the texts, the e-mails from all buyers paying for him to erase their problems stopped, and he was a free man at last.
