Haunted by the shadows of love and the twists of destiny, Olivia found herself at the heart of New York City, determined to embark on a new chapter. Embracing a fresh start, she stepped into the role of Lucas Adams's assistant, a man whose tall stature, youth, and brooding demeanor captured attention. From the start, Olivia felt a strong pull towards Lucas, like fate had connected them. But Olivia resisted this attraction, aware of the complications that arise when you fall for the wrong man. Lucas, in this case, was like a package marked with danger, the kind you should be cautious about and stay away from. Lucas had a tough past, making him not trust women, thinking they only cared about money. Despite this, he couldn't resist being drawn to Olivia. She was a mix of everything that annoyed him at work but became the best thing to see in the morning. She was clumsy and always on the move, adding a unique charm to the office routine. But he knew better than to trust a woman and break his heart all over again...he avoided her at any cost. In the heart of New York's bustling chaos, their journey unfolded ā a sweet, but forbidden love where the universe seemed to conspire against their union. Lucas, grappling with his ingrained distrust, found an inexplicable connection with Olivia that challenged his beliefs.
Chapter 1 Prologue
The accident took a toll on me but most of all leaving behind all alone is worse because your soulmate thought of you as a burden. So he did the best he could do. He ran away the first chance he got.
That bastard not only broke my heart but also left with all my savings and stole my car for which I still have to pay installments because it's in my name.
I thought I was broken after my accident but when he didn't come to see me I realized it hurt more than broken bones.
I wish he had come to me and told me how he felt about my accident. I know doctors said my walking skills could hinder forever or the tremble in my hand could turn worse but I believed in myself. I knew I could make it but I guess he didn't believe in 'me' or in 'us' anymore.
Six months later;
"I am going to New York," I told my parents once I recovered from several physiotherapy sessions. A little tremor in my left hand was all left from my past. But I have come to terms with it. I know I can't give up just because my one hand slightly trembles when I get nervous, stressed, or when I am angry.
My parents looked at me as if I had grown two heads.
"Why do you wanna leave?" My mum asked when she realized I am serious about my decision. My dad didn't speak a word, he waited for me to clear my point.
"I don't know what should I tell you Mama that would make you feel at ease but the truth is I cant feel anything here. I can't live with my past and if I start working here I won't be able to move on. I think moving to a new place would be good for me." I explained softly. Hoping they both understand my position and don't stop me from leaving.
My dad got up and stood in front of me and held my hands softly as he noticed the trembling in my hand as I was stressed about their decision.
"You should never feel that we won't support you when you are thinking to grow and progress in your life Oli. We will always be there and we know how difficult this whole year has been for you." He said softly it instantly calmed me. I hugged him tightly.
"If you think you need to leave this town and go to New York then that's what you should do." He said with determination. My mother also agreed.
Now I only have to inform my brothers that I am going. I have three older brothers. I am the youngest sister and everyone worries about me a lot.
I smiled looking at my parents and thanked them for understanding and supporting me through my decision. I informed them about the appointment letter I got yesterday that stated I cleared the interview for Mr. Adam's assistant at Adams Publishing Company.
Soon I packed my bags and I left for New York leaving every bad memory behind. I hope leaving for a New state would be the best decision.
"I just didn't know what New York had in store for me. I met my Brown-eyed brute, The one who found me!"
New York, here I come!
