Haunted by their painful pasts,  Alex Miller and Addisson Brown found comfort in each other's arms. He wanted something to protect, she wanted to be protected. He was her rock. She was his sanctuary.  But when high-school ends and real life kicks in, what sacrifices are Alex and Addisson willing to make to keep their relationship from falling apart? Are they going to be just another high-school couple with sweet memories and no future? Or  are they the ones who would go through every challenge infront of them and still remain steady? Are they forever?

Chapter 1 Prologue

"Please" Addison heard her mom plead. It was always this way. Countless nights of hearing her parents fight had left her numb now. On second thoughts, "fight" wasn't the right word. It was more of her mom begging her Dad for permission to do simple things like wanting to go out to the mall, wanting to hangout with her friends, etc.

Addison hated it.

She spent those cold nights tucked under her safety blue blanket, promising herself one thing. She would not live this life.

At 12 years old, all her friends had a lot of stories about the expensive gifts their Dads bought them, the adventures they went for in the weekends and how they are proud to say that they are their Daddy's princesses.

All Addisson had was the daily drunken yelling of her Dad, the sobbing and begging of her mother and a broken furniture each day. She muffled the sob which escaped her lips. She can't let them hear her. They can't see her broken.

Once Addisson is old enough, she would leave and she would not come back. Not for anyone or anything. That wish was what made Addisson get up each day.

That wish was what kept Addison going.

Until him.

The kiss grew more passionate as he felt her warm supple body pressing against his chest. He couldn't believe how soft she was. He was gentler this time, making love to her with a slow, languorous pace, pausing now and then to check the expression on her face. Kira was. transported. She no longer felt the fabric of the sheets underneath her. One moment, she was floating in the air, cuddled by cotton candy clouds. The next, she'd become one with a dinghy, bobbing up and down with the undulating waves. His scent enveloped her. He was on top of her, using his arms to support his weight and avoid crushing her. She snuggled up closer to him, safe and snug, cocooned in his warmth. Kira had always marvelled at Austyn's stamina, but he outdid himself tonight. In the midst of overwhelming rapture, Kira still had the presence of mind to broach the subject she'd been meaning to bring up. 'My dad's medical bills.' Austyn paused. He frowned as he looked into those beseeching eyes. 'It'll be taken care of by the end of business day tomorrow,' he said with a bit of an edge in his voice. Kira breathed out. ****** She is a 21-year-old college student who dreams of becoming a journalist. He is the heir of the McCarthy family and president of a business empire. She is bright-eyed and vivacious, a glass-half-full kind of gal. When life throws her a curveball, she knocks it out of the park. He is the archetypal alpha male, aggressive and domineering. Endowed with both brains and brawn, he steamrolls over his enemies and rules his company with an iron fist. The two would never have crossed paths if not for a cruel twist of fate. Kira's world was turned upside down when her father was hospitalised after a car accident. The medical bills were astronomical. Austyn McCarthy offered her a way out. The price: becoming his contract wife. At night, he consummated their marriage but called out another woman's name. Who was she? Why did Austyn marry Kira if he was in love with someone else? Kira was his lawful wife, but she had no right to ask these questions. Then one day, the woman showed up in front of her.
