Chapter 1 Mia's World

Mia observes the vibrant city below from the window of her rooftop apartment, with the gentle glow of the evening lights illuminating the cityscape in a warm tone. Savouring a rare moment of tranquilly amidst the bustle of her hectic life, she takes a sip of her wine and lets the delicious flavours dance on her palate. The room is filled with the monotonous sound of her heels pounding on the wooden floor, serving as a continual reminder of her never-ending efforts and unwavering quest for achievement.

Tonight, though, is different. Mia gives herself permission to enjoy the luxury of silence and reflection tonight. She's at a crossroads tonight, drawn as she is between the attraction of the unknown and the comfort of familiarity.

Her phone vibrates with a message as she stands lost in contemplation, jolting her back to reality. It's from Sarah, her closest friend, asking her to spend a night out. Mia is hesitant because she can't decide between the adventure that lies beyond her door and the seclusion of her apartment.

Mia considers her options for a moment before accepting her friend's invitation. She is ready for a change of pace and an opportunity to get out of her head.

Mia and Sarah are tucked away in a comfortable corner booth in the softly lit lounge of a hip downtown pub, catching up on each other's lives with the gentle glow of candles casting shadows over their features.

"So, please spill it," Sarah replies, her mischievous eyes sparkling. "What's been going on in the world of Mia?"

Knowing that Sarah always manages to sift through the chatter and get right to the point, Mia smiles. "Oh, you know, the usual," she says as she takes a drink of her mixed drink. "Work, meetings, more work."

Sarah shows her scepticism by raising an eyebrow. "Come on, Mia, there's got to be more to life than spreadsheets and board meetings."

Realising that Sarah is correct, Mia sighs. She's been feeling stuck in a never-ending loop of productivity lately, with her days merging into a fog of deadlines and responsibilities. However, there's a restlessness bubbling beneath the surface-a yearning for something more, something she's not quite sure how to describe.

Before she can reply, excitement lights up Sarah's eyes as she points to the bar's door. Her tone is amused as she exclaims, "Well, well, well, would you look at that." "It looks like tonight just got a whole lot more interesting."

Mia follows Sarah's gaze and spots him, the man who would shortly set off the most significant turning point in her life. Amidst the crowd of partygoers, he stands alone at the bar, his dark eyes sweeping the space with a subdued intensity that makes Mia shudder.

As their eyes lock, there's an invisible awareness that sends a shockwave through her veins, a comprehension of something fundamental and unfathomable that transcends words.

As Mia observes him from the other side of the room, she realises that her life is about to take unexpected turns.

Andrea Deciding that I was going to skip a day at work so I could have first time sex with my boyfriend seemed like the most absurd decision I could ever make. Or at least that was what I'd thought. Until I'd walked in on my said boyfriend cheating on me with some redhead and decided to get my revenge by losing my virginity to his wealthy billionaire father instead. Crazy, right? Trust me, I know. Like that's not enough, things take a drastic turn for the worst after I realized I was in love with him and pregnant with his child. Before I could get the chance to come clean about every including my feelings formhim and the pregnancy, he finds out about my trickery. Alejandro's not one to condone being lied to and deceived so he immediately tells me he doesn't want to see me again. So what do I do? I pack up and leave the country. But it seems like the universe isn't done with us just yet. . . Alejandro I should have known better than to get involved with someone way younger than me. It was something I've never done before. But like the saying goes, there's a first time for everything. The first time I met Andrea I was captivated by her beauty. More than that there was this innocence in her that called out to me like a moth to a flame. I ignored all the warnings in my head and went after what I wanted. And what I wanted was her. Unfortunately what she wanted was revenge against my son. I told myself that it had to be some kind of mistake. There was no way she had been playing with my feelings and planning some silly revenge this whole time. But she had. It had taken a surprise visit from my son for me to find out her true intentions. Even then it had been hard to believe it. But I couldn't deny that she'd fooled me real good alright. So naturally I cut ties with her. And that's supposed to be the end, right? Wrong. Turns out that our story was never destined to end just there. . .
