Always Broken (Book 1 and 2)

Overview: Always in Love (Book 2)

Comment a lot this chapter. As always, I would like your opinion. Before I begin this first official chapter of the prequel, I would like to say thanks for all the support. Also, Always in Love takes place thousands of years before the story of Always Broken so that means it takes place in like the BC time period. It's historical. I want to make that clear because I don't want anyone confused. I'll post the synopsis at the end of the Overview/ first chapter. Now, let's roll.

Lorena Eliakim

My mother always taught me that love is something remarkable. No matter what, she always reminded me that love is just about the cure to everything.

But here is the unfortunate part of myself.

I do not believe in love.

I might be a princess and yes, I was taught by my parents that if you are a good and pretty looking girl with no flaws, that some prince will sweep you off your feet and that you will fall in love. And if you are lucky, you could live happily ever after.

But I did not believe it. There was so much lies and deceit in this world. Who could have time for love? Who would make up such a silly idea? I was a Jewish girl, raised in the religion too, and from a young age I was taught that Jehovah created the heaven and the earth and that he made humans in his image. I believed that.

If God made humans in his image, then why are they so evil and so cruel? If humans are made in God's image, then why was one of the villages in our city burned to the ground yesterday by some evil humans? And that's exactly why I did not believe in love- because the world was just too cruel to have it. It was a horrible idea but it was just the sad reality of this life.

I did not expect to find love at all in this world because I thought my theory was right.

But a certain man challenged my idea. His name was Sahem Awa and the moment he laid his eyes on me, he would not leave me alone. He continued to haunt my dreams at night and come for daily visits to see me and it confused me. He was our sworn enemy- an Assyrian but yet he continued to associate himself with a Jewish girl, a Jewish girl who's father was the sworn enemy of his. Why couldn't he just stay away? He continued to say how I was beautiful and how I was the most pure woman he had ever seen and those things were forbidden for him to say. Why would he say things like that?

After all, if I were to be caught associating with a man other than my betrothed, the price was death. My fiance was a very unkind and non-Godfearing man named Joseph. He was a wealthy man and my father had married me off to him because of the simple fact that he was very rich. I was a princess, as my father said, and I needed to bear him heirs for the throne because he was in his old age.

I had no problem with my duty as a princess until Sahem came along, throwing my perfect world into one of chaos, continuing to make acquaintances with me against my wishes. My world went left field and I told him to stay away but nothing could keep that man away. He still persisted to be my friend.

Over the months of our friendship, things had started to change and I had started to feel things I had never felt with anyone but he was the enemy of my people. If I dared to act upon how I feel, both of us would be given the death penalty for treachery and being a traitor.

That was the worst thing that could happen to either of us because I would not be able to do anything to help either of us. So, for that simple reason, I turned him away. Plus, my duties as a princess had to stay.

But little did I know, things were about to get much more complicated and it was not just with Sahem. It was with everything in my whole life.

My name is Lorena Eliakim and the story I am about to tell you changed  my life forever.
