A Fragile Reunion

Brittany was such a lucky girl at 18 years old, she had loving parents, and a cute best friend she was harbouring feelings for when something happened, she got acquainted with Lucas the son of her mother’s employer. Naive, they became friends and had unprotected sex and Brittany had to have an abortion since Lucas's father and family members threatened to harm her if she proceeded with the pregnancy. This left Lucas, who is now 30, to join the Marines after obtaining a law degree as well as running away from a dominating father. In the military, he suffers a traumatic event which leaves him with PTSD, then has to go back to his father’s business where he is pressured to marry and produce an heir. Later on, Brittany starts working on the Interior design of Lucas’s family mansion and they again meet each other. Lucas does not remember being with Brittany, but he later still feels the suffering caused by his family to her. Brittany and Lucas have a fake marriage to have control of the family business, but at the same time, Lucas fights with his PTSD and Brittany is devastated by the loss of her mother and betrayal by her family. They have to unmask Lucas’s cunning stepmother and demanding father to regain the title they both deserve and rediscover the bond they lost long ago.

Lines We Crossed

…we launched together, ate together and fucked together ( not each other, that would be gross.) 

Six years in the military and I already had the clarity that I needed. So many losses later, I had successfully put Brittany deep down in my heart. I was ready to take on the company until the shoot-out. 

Life played a joke on me because just when I was building stability, she resurrected, this time with a flawless face, wider hips and that beautiful hair. But I had one question; "Did our friendship mean so little to you?"

Brittany

I thought it would be weird to see Lucas in broad daylight after the exercise the night before. It was not a bit awkward at all. It was as if we'd done that before. 

He got up to go to the bathroom, I went to his kitchen to get him coffee like I've done that a million times. His cook, Chef, was so surprised to see me that she interrogated me.
