Prologue

This is simply the story of two lovers, separated by fate.

This is the story of Spot Conlon and Risa Winter. Together for a short time, the two became famous as the King and Queen of Brooklyn. But all was not right in the kingdom. For there was a man, a man unhappy with their love, a man who loved the Queen as much as the King. A man who would do anything to get her.

This is the story of a man gone crazy with love, crazy with passion, crazy with the lies he told himself. This man tore the kingdom apart, searching for the King and Queen. When he found them, he tore them apart just as well. He took the Queen for his own bride, he took her to have his children, to love him as she had loved the King. He tore apart the fairytale, he took away their happily ever after.

But this man made one mistake. He did not dispose of the King as he should have. He let him live, but he held onto the King's secret as a key. This man did not realize that keys can be stolen, and locks can be broken into. This man did not realize that karma has a way of catching up to you. This man did not realize that in the end, true love conquers all.

This is simply the story of two lovers, separated by fate.

A/N: Alright, I'm sorry to say that there won't be any more updates for a bit. I put this on here to see how people respond to it and such, so please reveiw! I had up to chapter seven, but then I went crazy and changed everything around, and now I'm rewriting from Chapter One and so forth, so it'll be a while. Please review though! Criticism is very much wanted, and needed!
