A Binding Of Desire • HS

"Gen, please," His tear seconds away from being released. Never in a million years would I have thought I would see a man so strong, so uptight, cry; being on the verge of a breakdown.

"I-I can't. I'm so sorry. I just can't anymore. I can't take this. After everything you can't possibly expect me to accept that. I have to be there for her. I don't want her to have false hope. No."

I hurt him. I know that. The look on his face is more than evident of that. But how dare he! I have been through thick and thin with this man and he still asks such a stupid fucking question.

"Why, baby, why? Haven't I proved myself enough?" The closer he gets the more my heart races. I'm closed in. No where for me to hide. No where for me run. It's all him.

"Genevieve, please." I can't look him in the eye. "Why are you being so selfish?"

My head snapping back to look at him, my tears paused, "Me? Selfish? Are you really fucking kidding me right now? The fact that YOU, with all the power and influence you have over the world, over people, you truly think that I'm someone you can manipulate just as easily? Oh fuck you, Harry!"

"Since you asked so nicely."

His lips smashed against mine. His very, very soft lips, may I add. As much as I want to, I can't fall for his empty promises. We can't afford it.

Genevieve Rye has been a single mother for almost five years now. When she first had Estelle, she didn't think she could handle the parenthood lifestyle. But she did. And all at the mere age of 19, with just having to begin her freshman year of college and her D2 Volleyball scholarship, her hands were full.

All thanks to a summer fling with a man she thought she knew pretty well for 8 weeks, having fallen head over heels for and not ever knowing if he truly felt the same.

Mix in multi-billion dollar corporations, exes, love affairs, a little illegal activities, and a whole fuckton more, you've got yourself a classic Telenovela!

Or so we think...
