1. Chapter 1

She never expected her romance to end up as such a scandal, who would? It's not like she liked being the, quote on quote, 'trophy' in the battle between her two lovers. Her story is almost so messed up, who could unscramble it, well, we can. here is the real story behind Louella Rose.

To get everything straight, we are going to have to start at the beginning, and i mean the very start. The first day of Louella's new life in New York, that's where the story starts.

Louella rose was a small town girl who, when she turned 19, took all of her money and moved to New York. It was her chance for a new beginning, her opportunity for a brand new start. All Louella wanted to do was find a new life in New York, but by chance the first joint she walked into was an old speakeasy in astoundingly good shape. Fat Sam's it was called.

You see, Louella didn't even mean to end up in that speakeasy that day, she just wanted to buy a book from this small little bookstore she found on the corner of one number and another. She didn't mean to pull out the book that opened the door to the speakeasy, and she sure didn't mean to be so curious that she decided to investigate.

At first, the loud music and flashing lights of the underground establishment were too much for Louella, but in reality she began to enjoy it within less than a minute. This is what she had seen in New York, wonderful secrets and surprises around every corner. Louella walked over to a table in front of a small stage where dancers kicked there legs in tassel covered costumes. She set down her purse on the table and watched the dancers.

'What pitiful souls,' was the first thought that entered her mind. She had never understood entertainers, or really enjoyed the profession. Once in a while she would admit it could be fun to act out a little white lie, but that didn't make her a superstar. She only wanted to settle down, and that was the truth. The dream was to be a housewife to a wealthy man, and she knew she could achieve it. She pulled a small hand mirror and light pink lipstick out of her purse, re applying it on her lips. she was proud at the way it contrasted with her brown dress and brown hair, and matched her pink shoes and purse. When Louella put down the mirror she saw that someone was sitting across the table from her.
