CHARLOTTE
People work hard some to become rich one day or some to give generational wealth to their children.
But in Nyvessa, a city where the Elites and wanna-be Elites reside, everyone here knows everyone.
And that was how I know him.
Landon Ashford was a mysterious man with an untouchable personality and a mean remark for everyone.
I wasn't sure if he was my ally but he was also never a rival.
But one decision of mine shifted him from someone I rarely cross paths to someone I had to share my paths with.
I thought my decision was just a chess move in the grand scheme of things but If I knew how it would change my life for forever, I would never do it.
Or would I? Especially when the outcome is me ending up with him.
"You were always mine, I just had to find you." -r.h. sin
LANDON
I built my life brick by brick with the people I love, with work that I look forward to do, and a perfectly planned future.
But I didn't care about any of them whenever Charlotte Sterling entered my life. Some would say it was fate that brought Charlotte towards me.
But Fate is a curse for people with tragic endings and a gift for people with happy endings.
I believe in fate but I also believe that fate is in our hands. In the steps we take, the choices we make and the decisions we take.
Fate was just another word for me till I realised that it has its own game to play with me.
So when fate offered an opportunity where Charlotte came to me, I took a decision to re-write my own fate.
I didn't care about the consequences.
Didn't care about my planned future.
Didn't even care about me.
"And the writing is still : to you, with you, about you, because of you and for you." - Nizar Qabbani
