JAG excerpt or history parts Just for those who want to look at organized Starting Excerpts from my Story It's Just a Game.

I refused to donate my kidney to my sister, Juliette. As punishment, my family forced me to marry the Don of the Chicago mafia. Everyone said Caius Castellano kept people at arm’s length, that his heart still belonged to his first love. Everyone was waiting for my downfall. But against all odds, Caius worshipped me. In the three years of our marriage, he was insatiable, his hands perpetually on me, no matter where we were. He’d even follow me into the bathroom, pressing me against the cold marble countertop. We never used protection, yet I never conceived. Then one day, thinking I was finally pregnant, we went to a private clinic. And there, I overheard a conversation between him and the doctor. "Caius, three years ago, you had me secretly transplant Sera’s kidney into Juliette. And now you want me to lie and tell her she’s naturally infertile? How can you be so cruel to the woman who loves you?" "I had no choice. Juliette is too frail—she would have been destroyed in the Marco family if she couldn’t have children. And only Sera’s kidney was a match." The voice I knew so intimately was suddenly foreign, colder than ice. The love and salvation I had clung to were nothing but an elaborate lie. If that was the truth… then I had to run. It was my only way out.

It was their way of life. It was how she’d been brought up. To look forward to everyday and take it with joy as it comes. As a young woman bracing to take on the world and what it had to offer, she was laced with optimism and so much hope. But it had been twenty years now. Looking back, what had she done with her life? Nothing. Nothing substantial enough to conjure joy in her heart as she went about the mundane incomplexities of her life. A job with no real prospects and debts that were spiraling out of control. What could she do? Join a secret fan club of people who obsessively adored and worshipped her longtime rival, Patrick, and hope it would distract her from her impending doom? Sure, she could take the chance to see what all the fuss was about. But it would come at a cost. Soon, Janay is thrust into a world that lacks randomness and disorder. Almost like a flip switch, her life is suddenly halted as she is taken deeper into Patrick’s world. She comes to a crossroads, and needs to make a choice. Is order what she really desires, or is it Patrick that threatens everything she used to know?
