Summary: (Part Five of the 'Obsession' Series) George King had been bright and successful—his entire life was ahead of him. Then a betrayal shook his fragile world and he gradually lost his sanity. Eventually he would become Jackson Rippner, a master assassination manager, and the obsession would begin—an obsession that would become Lisa Reisert's worst nightmare. (Prequel to Do My Part)

Prologue

George King had graduated high school a year early and at the top of his class. He had scored in the top percentile of all of his exams and was decidedly charming. Women were very interested in him—he had looks, brains, and money—yet he was only concerned with his own success.

He worked with computers and ended up employed by a private company and received nice fat paychecks while he worked on earning a college degree.

He had never needed anyone to care from him in his life. George was self-sufficient, after having spent most of his life living with uncaring relatives following the demise of his parents. His parents had not been real winners either. They had been drunk and arguing in their car until it had run off the road, wrapped around a tree, and exploded in a ball of flame.

Of course, everything in his life had changed when he married Sofia Warren. In the blink of an eye, George King was a caring man and less of a workaholic than he had been in his entire life. At the same time, his mental problems were weighing heavily upon his mind and the need for normalcy pressured him into new situations.

Then, the sharp sting of a betrayal had sent him spiraling down the dark path he had been trying to ignore since his birth.

George King was about to disappear and Jackson Rippner was to rise from the ashes.
