When Life Decided to Hate Me
Have you ever felt like life had a personal problem with you?
Like every time you finally started to heal, something else came along and reminded you that happiness was never guaranteed?
For Ella Clarke, losing her father was only the beginning.
She never got the apology she wanted.
Never got the conversation she needed.
Never got the chance to tell him that beneath all the anger, she still loved him.
Now, carrying the guilt of wondering if her father left this world believing she hated him, Ella leaves Jamaica behind and moves to America hoping for a fresh start.
But life has never been kind to her.
A new country brings a new school, a new family she struggles to trust, and Lucas Hayes - the golden boy everyone loves.
Lucas has everything Ella doesn't.
A perfect reputation.
A beautiful smile.
A life that looks effortless.
But Ella quickly learns that perfection is just another thing people pretend to have.
Lucas is arrogant, frustrating, and determined to get under her skin. He's the last person she expects to understand her.
Until he does.
As two broken people slowly find comfort in each other, Ella discovers that Lucas is hiding secrets of his own.
Secrets that could change everything.
Because sometimes the person who helps you heal is connected to the pain that broke you.
And when the truth finally comes out, Ella will have to decide whether love is strong enough to survive betrayal.
Or if some wounds never truly heal.
