Pregnant By the Joc RipleyGirls grow up believing in fairytales and love stories like Romeo and Juliet. As a little girl, you are a Disney princess until the day you look around and it dawns on you that your life is more like the tragic stories you hear in a bar.I grew up in a trailer park, an only child of a drunk mother who slept her way through all the losers in town.

A home filled with caring and love. I quickly realized that Jocobi Monroe is dangerous. He is making me believe in fairytales again. I just hope it’s not ripped from me, shattering my heart in the p
