Welcome to the miserable life of Charlotte Raleigh. She is depressed, anxious, paranoiac, suffering from suicidal thoughts, she is me. Don't think I'm writing this story to get any attention. These "disorders", as most people would call them, are not chosen. They are part of us. They will always be. There is no such thing as a "cure" for these imperfections. Every day, someone is hospitalized, if not dead, for attempting suicide, and sent to therapy. A place I never want to end up. A place where I've seen people rot from the inside, out. A place worse than death. We don't need therapy. We need patient people that ACTUALLY understand our predicament, not just listen.
"The world is ugly, but you're beautiful to me." ~ Gerard Arthur Way

When bubbly Emerson Kachi Smith is offered a job as the personal assistant to the cold and handsome Lucas Hendrix, she's left wondering why. After all, she has no credentials to speak of, and working for a paranoid billionaire CEO who's impossible to please is far from easy. But a few weeks into her job, she begins to realize that she can't judge a book by its cover. Left alone to discover the mystery behind Lucas's cold exterior and to tame her uncontrollable desire to comfort him, she learns they have a lot more in common than she ever thought possible. Could their two lonely hearts share the same dream for happiness?
