Summary
A lot of stories end with the girl marrying the man of her dreams, a perfect happy ending. But what those stories fail to show is what happens during the marriage, because marriage is not the end of one’s story but merely a new chapter in one’s life.
After five years of living in Birmingham, Roseline now lives the life that many women dream of. Her husband is a successful businessman, and they reside in a stunning mansion filled with numerous hallways and corridors that seem to stretch on endlessly. The house is filled with both used and unused rooms. Money is never a concern for her; she spends it freely without a second thought. Everything she wears now is fashionable and beautiful, and her jewelry adorns her like a second skin.
The man she is married to is the infamous Tommy Shelby.

Oh, I sing all day, and I love you through the nightThere ain't language for the things I feel
And if I can't have you, then no one ever will * -
