Chapter 1: Worlds Collide

- Octavia, I tell you I'm fine! I do not need to go out to clubs and pubs, I'm a little to old for that, don't you think?

- For God's sake Lexa, listen to me for a moment, it seems to me that you are living in the sixties? Lexa Jane Woods! You are 32 years old! What the hell woman ?! You have to leave your cave, or seriously you will become a caveman! Cheer up, it will only for be a couple of hours. Lincoln and I want to see you, we promise to take you back to your cave, so you don't get lost... You know, as you don't get out much, that maybe you need a GPS.

- Danmit O! How the hell do I tell you no...?! Okay, but only for a couple of hours and I don't need you to take me back home. Exist something call taxi in the city. And I'm not a hermit who stays locked in my apartment. In case you forget, I drive my car to the clinic every day from Monday to Friday, and I go running through Central Park every morning.

- Wow!  Oh yes, I know all about your big adventures outings from the cave. But I won't complain anymore. I'll see you tomorrow at 8 at the door of "Polis".

- All right! Yes, we are good!

- Good night grandma.

- Fuck You O!

Lexa ended the phone call with her many years now friend, Octavia Blake, with a smile on her face. It was a cold autumn night in New York City, but Lexa felt even colder inside.

Losing herself in the lights of the city, that she contemplated from the window of her penthouse floor, in a very exclusive building in the heart of Manhattan, on the fifth avenue.

The famous Dr Alexandria Woods had everything, a fortune, and was one of the most recognized ophthalmologists not only in the US but in the rest of the world.

She had the body of a goddess that she trained and cared for daily and that was the downfall of any woman who crossed her enigmatic green eyes, with which she attracted women of all ages.

Dr Woods was about to patent a new treatment for the recovery of sight in certain cases, in which the patients were almost completely blind, which would put her name in the historical pages of medicine, for which she was very excited, but not for the recognition , but thinking about the amount of blind people that could have the possibility of seeing again.

But not everything that shines is gold, and certainly, in her life, there was a great void. Love, that feels so strong when it finds you in life, so powerful, it makes us lose our minds, and our bodies feelings elevate us to paradise, and that other person at our side becomes second part of our being.

Love became something non-existent in Dr Woods' life five years ago, when a car accident took the life of that being who was everything in her life, her best friend, her soul mate, her sexual mistress, her better half, her great love, her beloved wife Costia Wilder, a brilliant literature professor at the prestigious Yale University.

Since her loss, her heart became cold, with no desire to be revived by anyone, her mind soon found the perfect distraction in her work, travelling the world, attending meetings, revolutionary studies that were making it possible for many patients to have that wonderful possibility of to see again.

For many, Dr Woods, or better known as Lexa Woods, was not simply a doctor specializing in vision, but was something like an "Angel of light", the light that those blind patients finally managed to see when the hands of the famous doctor touched them.

Her work helped with a large part of her loneliness, of that emptiness in her soul, and her casual bed partners covered the physical part of her life. But she did not bond with anyone, Lexa was always clear with her companions that she did not get into relationships, she only lived for moments of pleasure.
