Prologue

To Whom It May Concern

Why do people automatically think of happiness when the word love is mentioned? Love quickly opens your heart for hurt and grievance. Why would someone knowingly open themselves up to this? I wish I had known that if I had never fallen in love – none of this would have happened. But, if I look back on everything, no matter how bad it got, no matter how many people were hurt. I'd do it again. Just to have my tranquil life in the orphanage back. Even if it was only for a little while. Learn from my mistakes. Benefit from them.

Sincerely Hypocritical,

Bella
