CHAPTER ONE

Alisa Perez pushed away from her small, wobbly dining table and rubbed her eyes. She threw her head back and stared at the stain on the ceiling. Slowly her tired eyes traveled from the stained ceiling to the cracks in the walls and around her tiny rented space. She looked at the peeling paint and heard the drip, drip, drip from the leaky tap in her bathroom.

She sighed. This place wasn't much but the rent was cheap. Still, without a job, she might not be able to keep this flimsy roof over her head for much longer.

Wrapping her arms tightly around herself, she winced and was about to spew out another vicious curse when she stopped herself in time.

She wasn't going to waste her breath cursing and swearing at her ex-boyfriend. She had wasted years, and even more tears on that creep. Alisa clenched her teeth to stop herself from spitting out their names.

Alisa pressed her palms to her forehead and sat down heavily on the plastic chair. Tears threatened to fall but she fought them back. She wouldn't cry. Not for them. She wouldn't cry for them, but she wanted to cry for herself. Was she really such a loser?

Her ex-boyfriend had run off with her ex-best friend. God, she had been so blind! How could she not have known?

And not only had the creep dumped her, he had emptied their joint account.

Alisa stared numbly at the flickering light bulb overhead. She had no love, no friends, no money and no job. The eatery where she had worked as a fry cook had closed down unexpectedly three weeks ago. With the exploding population in the city, there were more people than jobs. She had tried to find another job, God knows she tried. But there just weren't any openings.

With a sniff, Alisa sat up straight and stared at her battered, second-hand laptop. She had been looking through all the job sites, filling in countless e-applications. She tried not to lose hope but she knew that she would not hear back from any of those companies. She had been checking her inbox every ten minutes, but nothing arrived.

Swallowing hard, Alisa stared at the torn calendar on the wall. The dates seemed to stretch out meaninglessly before her. Nothing was circled on the calendar. No interview dates, no important events and milestones worth celebrating, no happy holidays, nothing.

Her adoptive parents had been kind and loving, but they had passed away. She had spent the first ten years of her life in an orphanage, and the next ten years in a loving home. Her adoptive parents weren't well off, but they loved her with all their hearts. But now she was all alone once again. She'd always been introverted and quiet, and didn't have many friends. She was so happy when she got to know Lucy, who was fun and loud and bold. And when she met Ben, she felt like the luckiest girl in the world.
