Every rendezvous with Marcel Maxwell brought with it some kind of chaos, but there was something else that also came along for the ride… God has a way of bringing unexpected gifts to our doors, and I believed Marcel was mine, until…
Marcel - When my younger sister came home one day and told me that I was being watched, I was worried that the cops were all over me.

Turns out, the danger was a pretty Christian girl who saw something she shouldn’t have. Now imprinted in my mind is the face of an angel, Norma Tesoriere. I knew I should have stayed away. I’m not good. There’s evil in me. I’m a gangster. And yet, the moment Norma’s mesmerizing eyes met mine, my entire world crumbled before me. Then Death came knocking at my door; was loving Norma worth it?
