She wanted to be good because she understood the bad in the world. Her way of contributing to society was to study law so she could leave the world a better place by getting justice for those that were wronged — not just any law; criminal law. But her taste in men has proven to be questionable and it shows when Ace Astor begins to take a liking to her. He's cocky yet charming — charming enough to get any girl he wants so why does he want her? She knows it's wrong. He's the very definition of what she stands against and yet he's always there; even when she doesn't want him to be. He'll never give up what he does because, to him, he's doing his part in making the world a better place but she doesn't approve. So what happens when this woman who strived to be good her entire life has to make a tough decision? She could either save Ace or lead him to his downfall. What will she choose?

Léonard m'avait aimée autrefois. Pour créer un lien du couple avec moi, il m'avait avoué son amour 99 fois. À la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième, j'avais finalement été touchée. Le jour où nous avions célébré le rituel de marquage, je lui avais offert quatre-vingt-dix-neuf cartes de pardon, avec la promesse suivante : « Je te donnerai quatre-vingt-dix-neuf chances d'être pardonné. Tant que tu ne les as pas toutes utilisées, peu importe tes fautes, je te pardonnerai toujours… Et je resterai à tes côtés. » Pendant les six années de notre lien du couple, j'avais rarement eu besoin de ces cartes. Mais depuis un an, son amie d'enfance, Julie, était revenue. Et le nombre de cartes de pardon que j'utilisais avait commencé à augmenter. Quand j'ai utilisé la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième carte, Léonard a remarqué que j'avais changé. Je ne pleurais plus. Je ne me disputais plus avec lui à cause de Julie. Je le regardais simplement, avec un visage calme, et je lui ai demandé : « Si tu vas la retrouver… Est-ce que je peux utiliser une carte de pardon ? » Léonard a hésité un instant, puis a repris son ton habituel : « D'accord. De toute façon, t'en as utilisé quoi… Une cinquantaine ? Si tu veux, utilise. » Je n'ai rien répondu. Je l'ai laissé quitter la maison. Mais il ne savait pas que c'était la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième. Il ne lui restait plus qu'une seule chance. Et une fois la dernière carte utilisée… Je le quitterais pour toujours.
