surprised when Monica chose to become a lawyer, and started pursuing her career like everything else in her life.  At that point in Monica’s life, she had started to realize that the image of success required more than A’s in school and a fast rising career.  She already had the looks, however, so all she needed was the perfect candidate.
    That was when it had all started.  Man after man came and went from her life.  They were all handsome and successful people, with great perspectives and matching desires for success.  Monica chose them carefully, and even thought that she loved one or two of them.  Unfortunately, it all ended in the same way – the man would quickly become bored of her and her behavior, and leave her shortly after that.
    It killed Monica to watch them go, and from those first years she felt the strong desire to keep them at all costs.  The stalking usually started shortly after the separation, and continued in two of the cases for almost a year.  But then Monica still had some control over her emotions, and the men usually had no idea that she was stalking them.
    When she met Rick, however, things changed drastically.  There was something unique in him that made Monica act out of character.  The first two, three dates, she was the sweet and gentle woman that was about to fall in love.  She really liked him and Rick, being Rick, liked her back.
    They were both successful young lawyers with very promising careers in front of them, and in a way they spoke the same language.  Things only became worse after a while, and only because Monica saw Rick talking to another woman.
    The mere thought of him seeing someone else awakened in her the fear of being left alone and forced her to act out.  Monica changed drastically.  She became demanding, oppressive, and very much a constant presence in Rick’s everyday life.  He could see her at every meeting, in every restaurant, in every coffee shop he visited.  At first he found it amusing, but the woman was not laughing.  She demanded explanations, and refused to listen to them.
    All other women in Rick’s life were carefully examined, and she even dared to tell him to stop seeing the ones she considered dangerous.  Somewhere at that point, Rick decided that Monica was not the woman for him, and started keeping his distance.  The actual separation, however, took a bit of time, as Monica would choose not to listen when he spoke about it.
    Well, after the moment when for Rick it was all over, the woman continued to consider him her boyfriend and showed up uninvited at his house and office.  Rick was not really worried then, but Monica’s behavior was causing him a lot of other problems.  His colleagues and friends were constantly joking about her love for him, and a few of his female acquaintances were feeling harassed by her.
    By the time Rick met Allison, things had calmed down considerably, and he had started hoping that all was over.  Monica, however, had other plans.  She had never stopped following him around, just had become better at it.  She knew his program, and followed him everywhere he would go.  There were nights when she stood in her car in front of his house, waiting for him to pass near the window, so that she could see him for just a moment.
    And then Allison arrived!  This new woman was an unexpected complication in her well designed plan to get Rick back.  She was different from the other women Rick knew, and she was very different from Monica.  That made her especially dangerous.
    Monica needed to learn about her, she needed to know her better that anyone, so that she could fight against her.  Unaware of the danger, Rick and Allison were slowly falling in love.
    And now, after all that Monica had done to keep Rick away from her, she dared to come here and tell Monica that she would never have Rick again.  How mistaken she was!  There was nothing in this life able to keep her away from him.  Not even a woman like
