--------------------------------------
According to a myth, we were born with a pair - a person we're destined to fall in love with. The gods tied a red cord to each person's little finger to connect him/her to the one he/she is fated to love. This magical cord will stretch and tangle but would never break. But what if you want the red cord broken? What if you do not want to fall in love? What if you do not believe in fate? Read the story of Alexander and Alexa to find out.

Red String of Fate
*******************************************
Hello, readers!
This is my second story. It's a heavier drama compared to Mistakenly Meant For You. No, I have not forgotten Fire and Ice and they will continue to make you laugh, amaze you, make you cry and make you want to fall in love (if you have not fallen in love yet). But I'd like to share something new with you, something that I've always been a great believer of (told you I'm a hopeless romantic). Hence, this new story.
What is the red string of fate? It is a cord that connects two people who are destined to be lovers regardless of time, place and circumstances. Sometimes it gets tangled with other red strings but in the end it will lead you to the person who's fated to love you.
Meet Alexander and Alexa -- one is eager to be a part of the other's life while one would rather not have anything to do with the other. It's a complicated. It's love. It's fate.

Chapter 1: Instant
*******************************************
Alexa smiled as she looked at her housemates dancing seductively with the men they've just met. They were inside Dance Freedom, a posh bar on Harvard Square. At kahit nakangiti sya at parang nag-i-enjoy, ang totoo ay inaantok na sya. Hindi nya alam kung bakit ang ingay naman sa loob ng bar at puno naman ng taong nagsasaya ay inaantok pa rin sya. She saw Michelle, her blond, Business Management roommate, roam her hands all over the guy's chest and she arched her brow. Ang wild talaga ng babaeng to. She thought as she looked away. Alexa's a nerd and she loves being one. She's an ordinary twenty-one year old girl na mahilig magbasa, mag-aral at masaya nang kumakain ng popcorn habang nanunuod ng reruns sa TV. Mas gusto nya ng simpleng buhay, walang komplikasyon at walang sakit sa ulo.
"Attorney Lianna Alexa Carbonel, why so boring?" Michelle asked with a pout. "Girl, seriously you look like an old maid sitting there by yourself!"
"Michelle, I'm having fun!" Alexa answered unconvincingly. Hindi talaga sya mahilig sa bar at parties. She's not a big fan of clubs, noise and crowd but she thought one night of clubbing wouldn't hurt her. "Go back there and dance, your partner's waiting for you!" She shouted over the noise with a smile.
"Jeez." Michelle said before she sashayed back to her partner. Ano ba to, kelan ba matatapos tong gabing to? Alexa thought feeling bored. She saw Sheila, her Comparative Literature roommate, and she nearly choked on her juice when Sheila's partner's hand crawled under her roommate's skirt. Mas wild pa pala tong isang to. She murmured to herself. Alexa and her roommates are as opposite as night and day but she and the girls are actually very close -- they let her study and she lets them party and borrow some of her shoes and clothes.
