She has ruptured the wall he's built around his heart. She stepped in and deformed his cold aura. He restricted his disarming self but little did he know that this petite creature had resistance to his demeanour; the cold facade.
He never expressed, she forced him to.
He never felt, she got him to feel. 
He never cared, she made him care. 
He was all broken, she fixed him then...
...but what when the roles are swapped. What when she's broken, what when she doesn't care, what when she isn't able to feel or express? 
Would he be able to help her get her old self back?

How will the two battle against the odds and make it through or will they just ignore the sparks?

Jenna was joyous, bubbly, lively, secretive, nerd and all in all a happy go lucky person. She found pleasure in making people smile and helping them to enjoy the goodness in life. She wasn't perfect but her imperfections sparked her persona. To the world she lived an ecstatic life but little did they know...

Gabriel was rude, cold, heartless, a freaking BILLIONAIRE. He had a reputation, one which people were petrified at the thought of. He cared less. Anger was his solemn characteristic and happiness was far from vision. Nothing mattered to him other than his companies and his work. He mastered the art of reigning emotions to the point where smiling turned rare until...

Both are polar opposites but fate and past has planned something else..

One Decision by theoleslie

"Why don't you let something cross that face of yours?" This guy was tough work. And that made me even more determined. "Do you have any idea how humiliated I felt to wake up in an empty bed and find out from a guard that you left for God knows what?!" I shouted into his face. His eyes turned into literal slits that only the grey could be seen. A menacing dark look crossed his features, too strong and harsh that I started to doubt my own actions. I was slammed against the wall, with Ace looming over me. His angry face came up close, making my breath hitch. The grey eyes stared into mine, his strong hands stopping me from moving my wrists that were pinned against the wall beside my head. His lips were in a thin line as it came near me, hovering over my lobe. "You will break yourself trying to break me. We don't want that now, do we?" ###### #1 - husband #1 - wife #1 - romance #6 - humor #16 - arrangedmarriage #1 - billionaire #3 - featured #2 - sadromance #5 - dramaromance #1 - past #1 - emotionalrollercoaster

In desperate need of rest, relaxation and self-discovery, Jenna loaded a plane, destined for Aspen. She was going to salvage the girl she lost along the way. She'd find that fire inside of her that had been extinguished by heartache. Hunter had lived a hard life - abused, neglected, discarded and hardened.

With his revenge-seeking father's upcoming prison release hanging above his head, Hunter knew his days were limited and he had accepted it. He wasn't looking ahead, not for happiness or love anyway. Until he saw her. Fate had brought them together. Passion consumed them. She brought the sass and he brought the danger. He began to see a life with her that he didn't believe he deserved. She found her purpose - heal him, love him, give him the gift of family and unconditional love. They went to Aspen in search of peace and an escape from the hometown heartache...but they found love along the way. 20 Questions is a story of unbreakable love, redemption, and overcoming tragedy. It's about blocking out the corruption in the world so you can see the virtuous.
