It was the most powerful love until the day he destroyed it. He didn't mean to hurt her, but he lost her.
A lifetime passed and fate waited.
Now, one of the wealthiest businessmen in NY, he needed her help, and she agreed reluctantly to work with his assistant. It was business and there was someone in her life. Her full life.  
So, why wasn't fate done yet? And why did he never tell the truth about what happened the day that he lost her? Who was he trying to protect?
When an accident brought them face to face again, the years felt like only hours for him. As she realized time didn't heal old wounds, she kept herself safe from him, but this didn't keep her safe from everyone. He wants to help her, but will he only hurt her again, or will fate finally get its way?

They were never supposed to meet again, but fate had other plans. They were never strangers. They just became people who knew everything about each other, Except how to fix what they broke.

But silence never erased the way they ended. And when fate threw them back into the same room, One bleeding, Other one breaking, The past didn't knock. It kicked the door down. This is not a story of falling in love. It's what happens after.

~Trust Me ~ by insanelysane2552

"I want a divorce." And just hearing him say that my whole world that seemed to revolve around him stopped. Gathering myself I barely managed to speak in a voice that even I could not recognise. I couldn't comprehend anything going around me. "Wh..hy?" As soon as the words left my mouth he threw the file and the photographs spread across the floor. And those photographs had me in compromising positions with not one but several men. Looking at those photos I looked straight into his eyes. Disgust and hatred. The only emotions I could see. Taking a deep breath I composed myself and tried to keep my face void of the emotions I felt at that moment. Hurt and immense pain. If he didn't trust me then he has no right to see me vulnerable too. "Is this the only reason why you want to divorce me? No other except this?" It was foolish of me to ask him but I had to make sure. Also for me trust comes before love. If he doesn't trust me I don't even want to save the relationship. "Is this not enough you whore? What else can I expect from a slut and a gold digger like you! I knew it from the start that all you showed was just a facade. Your innocence, kindness, it was all fake. I just don't believe how can I be so dumb." Was I hurt? No I was broken beyond repair. My heart ached. I felt like I was seconds away from collapsing. I had far exceeded the limit of hurt and pain. I was so powerless in that moment that I couldn't even fight with him. Love makes you strong. I have heard and felt that countless times but they always forget to mention what comes after that. Love makes you weak too. I couldn't shout at him because I loved him. But I had to be brave. For myself. ************************************************** Is love enough for two people to be together or is there something more important than love? This is story of Xander and Sophie who loved each other but still couldn't be together. Because more important than love is trust. © All rights reserved

Rob asked looking down at her with a sweet smile "Nothing, just how long it's been since I've had such a good time with someone else. I don't want it to end as cheesy as that sounds." Madi told him. "It doesn't have to be the end, you know? We still have tonight, and tomorrow. Remember when I told you once by accident, twice by chance and three times a pattern?" Madi nodded at him. "I think the fourth time is by choice and anything after that is fate." with that he finally leaned down and their lips met with a sweet and soft kiss. He felt familiar, like coming home after long hard day, like the first warm breeze of Summer and the last frost of Winter before Spring. He made the guilt disappear, made her feel like she could get more than one chance at love in this life."
