Adrienne Beverly

Everyone said she should forgive and forget, but Nicki doesn’t think she can.

Nicki swore she didn’t have an anger problem. She only trashed her cheating boyfriend’s tattoo shop. Okay, he wasn’t her boyfriend, but he was her boss, and maybe he didn’t cheat, but he stood her up to spend the night with another woman. He deserved it. She, however, didn’t deserve to get arrested and fired. Did she also mention she lived in his apartment above the shop? Now she was evicted too.

Nicki planned to exact revenge by opening a rival tattoo shop of her own, except she was broke. Her dad offered her a job at his new restaurant, the same dad who abandoned her as a baby. Nicki wanted nothing from him, but she needed to money, so she reluctantly accepted.

Get money and get out of there.

That was the plan.

Darren Walker was not a part of the plan.

Bane of existence to lovers, Darren taught Nicki what love is, but she isn’t sure if she can.
