I come to a halt at the sudden red light, and madly tap my fingers on the wheel. My eyes wander up to the forest green signs proclaiming the streets. One catches my eye--Airport, it proclaims, thirty miles.
Right then, an idea hits me. One so brilliant, so stupid, so crazy, so right, that I nearly run over a group of pedestrians with my phenomenal revelation.
My escape.
A series of dramatic, shocking events forces whim-driven Stella Fox to leave her complicated life at home.
She's got everything planned out, for once, and is hoping to escape her normal life. One vacation, a couple free days wandering the streets of Italy.
That's when everything comes crashing down.

A Vegas Mishap (#2)
I stared at the person sitting on the chair in front of me. That instant I realised that I didn't know this person at all. This was not the person I have been living with. This person just looked like that person. There was nothing same except the looks. The pose, the expression, the emotions in the voice, nothing matched. I couldn't believe that it is the same person. "Doesn't mean anything?" I asked with a low voice as anger filled me. "Yes, it was only a Vegas Mishap." ********************************************************************************** When Ophelia Russo traveled from Italy to the United States, she had no idea what was going to happen to her. Wanting to forget all her worries and the stress of managing a fast growing business, one night she finds herself in a bar in Las Vegas, and in the company of the very handsome businessman, Ethan Welsh, who himself is on a vacation for a break from his womanizing life in Greece. Two hot people, one lively night in Vegas and a few drinks down, what do you expect to happen? No, no. If it was just a one night stand that had happened, it wouldn't have been this bad. What had actually happened was no less than the worst nightmare for Ethan and Ophelia. Suddenly, it becomes more than just a vacation for the Italian girl and the Greek man when they wake up married to each other. What follows is a love story, you think? It's a messed-up destiny, I bet. After all, it can't be just A Vegas Mishap. ************************************************************************************************** Warning: Contains mature scenes and swearing.

"To prevent us from falling for each other, let's refrain from sharing any personal details about one another. I'm not going to tell you my real name and you shouldn't either. And when we leave this place, we forget any of this happened." Remy thought he would be able to follow through, but by the end of summer, he was deeply infatuated by this stranger that he was convinced they were soulmate.
