Author’s Note: This is the sequel to Selfish Intentions although I doubt you would have to read that story to understand this one. This is dedicated to J Paine, who asked for the sequel. Go check her out.
This is about Rainer and Ivory’s daughter Ashlee.

Prologue
My life sucked. You ask why. It’s because after seventeen years of being married my parents are still in love. I’m the only person in my school whose parents aren’t divorced. I don’t even go to counseling like everyone else. You hear me! I’m different because my parents are happily married. I wish they weren’t. No, I take that back. I’m thrilled they are blissfully happy, but I wish they wouldn’t kiss in front of me. It’s just wrong.
I attend school at Richfield Prep, a school for the rich and spoiled. It’s a boarding school although I don’t board there—another thing that made me an outcast. My parents have me live at home, which was scandalous for the rich kids at the prep school that were used to parents wanting to get rid of their kids. I have wonderful parents so sue me!
My dad Rainer Urban was this awesome D.A. Then he managed the Urban family estate on the side. His family was made out of old money, new money, and a heck of a lot of money in between. I’m daddy’s little girl. I can talk him into buying me anything. He was the cool kind of dad that would get down on the ground and play like another kid when I was little. There has never been a doubt in my mind that my parents love me.
My mom Dr. Ivory Clarkson wasn’t a blueblood like my dad, which was another thing that made my life miserable at Richfield Prep. Everyone had blueblood parents. They can’t make me be ashamed of my mom.
I hated my grandfather on my mom’s side. He claimed he had changed after he abandoned my mother with my crazy aunt (who she believed was her mother). Can you tell my mother’s life is very complicated? Garret Aire (my grandfather) will NEVER change. He just apologized for the sake of public relations. His children Dierks and Diana agreed completely with me. His other son Erin had died in a drunk driving accident. Erin was a lot like Grandfather Garret because Garret was an alcoholic and had been in a drunken accident himself. After my parents’ graduation from med school and law school, they had gone out partying and Garret was supposed to be the designated driver. He was the driver all right, but he was drunk off his butt. His drinking and accident resulted in my dad having a leg injury that caused him to limp even after eighteen years.
My mom tried to convince me Garret was a good person. I didn’t believe her. My dad never said a word about his father-in-law.
I didn’t realize that there was a lot I didn’t know about my family and how cruel people could be, but I was about to find out.

Author’s Note: This prologue is just to give you a bit of background information. Please do not judge the story on this alone. When people don’t review I assume it’s because it was so horrible they couldn’t say anything nice about it. Please when you review do so kindly. No flames.
People who review Selfish Intentions even though it’s complete will get recognize in this story so check it out. It’s the first part of this series.
Generally if you are a fellow writer I return the favor. Please leave a review so I’ll know that someone wants an update. Encouraging reviews led to faster updates and a happy writer. If you want to see more let me know.
