Life Begins Series #2
Life Begins When I'm Not With You
Four years apart, they were never meant to be.
Lucas Zhang - sole heir of the Zhang Empire, ruthless lawyer, Executive Director of the family's vast business holdings. Back in high school, he was the untouchable senior: cold, brilliant, out of everyone's league.
Ruthea Sarmiento - four years his junior, the shy junior who once watched him from afar with a secret crush she never dared reveal. Now twenty, she works as an assistant nurse, living a simple life far from his world.
One drunken night changed everything. An unplanned child, a marriage forced by obligation, not love. Lucas, heartbroken and betrayed by his first love, labeled her a gold digger, locking her in a luxurious golden cage where she had everything but freedom and love.
Both young, both broken, they shared only one wish: if only they had never met.
Until a tragic accident sent them back to the days before it all went wrong.
This time, they made a vow: they will stay strangers. No mistakes, no marriage, no pain.
After all, they truly believe... their lives only begin when they are not with each other.
