Hopelessly Devoted

Mikhail Melnik was the top realtor in all of Texas. He loved what he did and excelled in every avenue with his older brother by his side.

Matvei Melnik was significantly rough around the edges when compared to his angelic younger brother, but the varying strengths they brought to their Realty and Construction business made it the success it was.

Matvei handled the building of the homes, while Mikhail handled the selling. They had a well oiled machine running and for years everything was status quo. The two had work figured out to a tee, but their love lives were in shambles.

Mikhail was too much of a lover and gentleman for the women he encountered and Matvei was a hit it and quit type of man. Mikhail wanted more and Matvei took joy in easy and noncommittal flings.

They got the shock of their lives when Alyssa Jacobs stormed into their office one afternoon angrier than all get out.

Mikhail was enamored the moment their eyes met and he heard her very southern voice. Matvei immediately knew he'd hate her for the feelings she pulled out.

Sometimes love doesn't look like how society tells you it should. Sometimes love has its own narrative that is unique, flawed but special nonetheless. However, regardless of how love looks you know it's good when it's hopelessly devoted.
