Heartfelt Roses | ✎

Thalia Alpenheim.

She was a lone rose embowred in her own green leaves, basking under the subdued rays of hope as the swift wind of life tosses her around. Round and round she swirls in the endless loop of her past like a dance of snow in a dazzling drift. Now, standing in the midst of rich kids after receiving a scholarship to an all too expensive private school, she feels even more weak and thirsty, gradually falling back into the warmth of her own shadows. She doesn't believe in fate. Nor did she believe anything or anyone would risk bleeding just to save her from the thorns that choked her.

That's where heart-throb Denzel Herlitz falls into the story.

There were no 'butterflies' or 'exploding fireworks' when they first crossed paths on a random street in Lucerne. Just simmering annoyance and insatiable hatred bubbling in their veins, and they only hoped to never cross paths again. But I guess the universe wasn't in their favour because she happened to be the new scholarship student at his school.

He wants to make her life miserable.

She wants to stab him till he bleeds.

But with a splash of fate, they both find themselves partnered up for a one-month project all whilst being surrounded by their mutual friend group. Their hatred never died down, it only fueled-especially his hatred for the azure shades of her eyes.

Well, that's what they both wanted to believe.

What started out as blood-boiling and simmering hatred turns into electric attraction and growing affections as tender as the flush of a rose leaf. And just as the color of a fading rose deepens, their affection may just deepen twice as much.

One month. One project. Two intertwining souls.

There might be hope to be found again.
