Where Souls Touch by Paper_Planes7

If it's one thing Phoenix Charles knew, it's that not all that glitters is gold. So when Kai Bae - Hockey superstar, 3 time 'Most Handsome Man' winner and all of Toronto's most eligible bachelor - suddenly took interest in her and only her, she knew something was off, she knew she should run for the hills. Fairytales, Prince Charming and happily ever afters were nothing short of a fantasy to coo little kids to sleep. Phoenix was sure. So how was one night, one conversation, one look in those brown eyes enough to have her sold? To have her muting the volume on her common sense that screamed at her to shut it down? She scored the jackpot! Or so she thought. Heartbreak is one thing. Couple that with betrayal and twisted secrets and even the most solid fairytale is not immune to coming to an end. Again Phoenix is reminded, there is no such thing as happily ever afters, no such thing as a prince out there waiting for her. She kissed the frog, married the beast, expecting the best, only to quickly realize he is nothing short of a fraud... or is he? ~•~•|•~•~ "There is a season for everything... A time to born and a time to die... A time to love and a time to hate" Ecclesiates 3:1, 2 and 8
