In a world where freedom of speech is forbidden in the city, Elodie Crawford finds refuge on a farm in the Middle of Nowhere, United States.
The Change, as they call themselves, have taken over centralized society and are slowly encroaching on the outskirts of Semblance City, or what used to be New York City. They're taking rights and lives and cannot be stopped.
On the farm, Elodie meets Clark Jameson, the farm owner's son. He's hard-working, charming, caring, but above all, runs a secret operation that is working on a way to destroy The Change.
Together, Elodie and Clark will work together to restore society back to the way it once was. They will face challenges that will test their partnership, and along the way, their bond might become stronger than they ever thought it could be.

Did he misunderstand me for someone else? "How dare you push me? Do you even know who I am?" He asked, angrily. "Don't give me that shit of 'Do you know who I am?' I know who you are, but how dare you kiss me without my permission?" I spat back. My statement fueled his anger, and now he was extremely furious. He had his hand balled into a fist. He slowly came closer to me and stopped just inches from me. "You lousy mouse. You are nothing but a slut. Do you hear me? You are.a.slut!" he whispered into my ear from my back, holding both of my hands tightly. I could no longer take it, as I was beyond furious at this point.

Trapped In Love ✓
"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god!
