"Bela" meaning destruction in Hebrew, sounding like and often mistaken for "bella," Italian for beautiful. Both at completely different ends of multiple scales, one a verb, the other an adjective. An action word, a describing word. But still, why is it that they are so easily confused to be the other? They're pronounced the same. Yup. Simple as that. An English teacher would tell you to "dig deeper" and you'd probably pull some crap out of your ass; destructive people's behavior is often mistaken for beautiful hence the irony in the blah blah blah. 0/10. F. Fail. That's wrong, you're wrong. My Bela, she's nothing. The prime definition of empty space. She drowns in her surroundings, forever enduring the state of nothingness, herself. I'm not an English teacher though, and this isn't an assignment.
Levi Ansaldo. Continuing with our pattern of names and their meanings, Levi = joined or attached. Ansaldo = god of power. 1) Levi Ansaldo is not physically or emotionally joined or attached to anything or anybody, so that's just inaccurate. His parents would have gotten a fat zero on the assignment too if that's reassuring in any way. 2) He is powerful. The last name is at the very least something. Would that earn them a bonus point? Out of fairness? You don't care? Cool. Lol.
Is this a love story? Yes. A very very complicated one, but one nonetheless. Sometimes a friendship, at times a tragedy, and always a comedy. Bela and Levi. Perfection? No. Poisonous? Not always. It's simply, beautiful destruction.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
