Sometimes those who you think love you, are the ones who hurt and poison your heart the most.
I needed him because he was my life, he had become the air that I breathed, sucking his way into my heart and mind, living nothing but a void. I had lost all my strength, yet no matter what he done the love I felt for him could shatter and diminish the greater gods if it must. He become my life support and no matter how bad he hurt me or took those closest. I couldn't leave, he was my life now.
I needed her because no one else could. She was mine and mine to claim, whether it was out of lust or love, maybe even hate. No one could have her or take her from me, I would take all the things she needed to survive and give them to her myself. I breathed the life into her by saying a simple 'I love you' the simplest compliment or mere bit of attention and she was mine; she was fulfilled. But if I couldn't have her, no one could. Even if I didn't want her, someone so weak so fragile, I guess it was cute.
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?
