The Lover - Jori

by cherrybabyyy22

Tori was an extrovert actress who shared an apartment in Los Angeles, when by fate meets Jade: an important personality - and intimidate - of the same city, who wants to get revenge on her husband. An alternative universe of the tv show "Victorious". (Actually a translation of my own story, the original version is on my profile on Wattpad @cherrybabyy22).
