Love at First Sight

She was running from a man who owned her past. He was the man willing to fight for her future. Cassie Davidson doesn’t do love. At least not anymore. A talented cook with a locked heart, she lives by one rule: never get too close. But when George Sinclair, a soft-spoken billionaire with sharp eyes and a quiet fire, walks into her life, her rulebook starts to crack. George sees through her walls. He doesn’t ask questions but also never misses a detail. And when Cassie begins to let him in, she feels something she thought she lost forever... Safe. Just when she's beginning to breathe again, her nightmare returns. Xavier, the ex she barely escaped, is back. And this time, he's not playing fair. Caught between the ghosts of her past and a man willing to rewrite her future, Cassie must decide: will she keep surviving, or finally choose to live, fight? Hearts Unchained is a slow-burn billionaire romance pulsing with emotional tension, deep healing, and a love worth breaking chains for.

Chapter 1: First Cut
CASSIEIt was a new day and I had taken a cooking class all because I wanted to run to the one place what I loved was reachable. The scent of garlic, bay leaf and butter filled the tiny cooking classroom, I inhaled deeply letting the aroma settle in. This was the one place I could act like I had my life all together, that I wasn't drowning from how my life was turning out, that my bank account wasn't a circus, my dreams weren't slipping away from me and my parent's voice weren't and echo in my mind, reminding me how much of a failure I was. It is what I'd call a temporary escape from the chaos my life had become.I stared intensely at the onions on my cutting board which were meant to be diced. Rather, they looked like large uneven chunks that had been chopped with a blindfold on."You're holding the knife wrong".I froze in my steps. I heard a deep, steady unfamiliar voice that didn't sound like the usual members I knew in this classroom who were just as clueless as I was.I turned s

Chapter 2: Unfinished Recipes
CASSIEThe next time I saw him, I was ready.I had spent the entire week convincing myself that George...yes, I had Googled him and he was just another rich guy looking for entertainment. I'm certain he had taken the class on a whim and wouldn't show up again. Our brief, strange interaction was nothing more than an oddity in my otherwise predictable, downward-spiraling life.But there he was.Standing at his station like he owned the place.His sleeves were rolled up, exposing strong forearms. His hair, dark and just a little too perfect, was slightly tousled. He looked effortlessly put together, while I had spent the past ten minutes scrubbing flour off my shirt from a failed attempt at kneading dough.Unbelievable."Look who decided to come back," I said as I grabbed a mixing bowl from the counter.His mouth twitched. "Missed me?"I scoffed. "Hardly. I just didn't think billionaires had the time for community cooking classes.""I make time for things I find interesting."I swallowed

Chapter 3: Cracks in the Walls
CASSIEI thought to myself. ' I shouldn't have let him in.' I knew better how things like this go... it never goes well for me.I studied George meticulously as he sat across me at my kitchen table like he belonged there, completely unbothered by the fact that my humble abode was far beneath his taste.And worse? I let him stay.I cleared my throat as I pushed my plate away. "So… you just decided to show up here? Don't billionaires have better things to do?"George smirked. "Define. better.""I don't know, literally anything else." I shot back.He crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, with amusement flickering in his eyes. "I wanted to check up on you."I blinked. "Why?""Because you looked like you needed someone.The air shifted.I wanted to laugh and brush it off. But there was something about the way he said it… he sounded sincere and that made my stomach twist.I hated that he was doing this.He saw me in a way no one else did. And if I were being honest, a tiny part of

Chapter 4: A Date
CASSIEThe café was unusually slow for a Saturday morning. A few regulars sat by the window, nursing their drinks. The old cranky lady that was somehow always nice to me, the nerdy college student in the middle of the café with his croissant and black coffee who was always lost in calculus, the couple who came here every alternate day and today just happened to be their day but other than that, it was oddly quiet.Too quiet.Which meant I had no excuse to avoid the new customer, I sighed to myself.It was George.I busied myself behind the counter, wiping an already-clean surface. I could feel his eyes on me as he sipped his coffee.I should have been annoyed.Instead, I felt warm.God, this was a mistake.I sighed and finally turned to face him. "You're not going to leave me alone, are you?"He smirked. "Not unless you want me to."Honestly, I liked his company, and apart from my friend, who was miles away and always busy with her degree, I had no one else around. Regardless, no one

Chapter 5: A couple of Dates
GEORGEShe was nervous.I saw it in the way she kept shifting her weight, in the way her fingers curled into the hem of her sweater like she was holding herself together and in the way she constantly avoided eye contact with me.She didn't seem like she was ready to trust me but she hadn't sent me away either; so, I guess I'll take my chances.I stepped back, giving her space. "I was going to take you somewhere fancy, but you look like you need something low-key."She arched a brow. "So, what? You're taking me to a five-star restaurant in my sweater?"I smirked. "No. I was thinking something simpler. A drive. A walk. No pressure.She hesitated, her guard flickering. "Just us?""Just us."Cassie exhaled, looking away for a moment before finally nodding."Okay."I shouldn't have felt relief.But I did.I took her to the docks, where the city lights reflected over the water in a way that made everything feel softer. Less sharp. I had

Chapter 6: Breakfast in a penthouse
CASSIEI should have left.I should have said goodnight, walked away and ended it there.Instead, I found myself lingering around his presence. His company felt warm, soothing and calm.What was I thinking? Am I in love?I really didn't know, but I liked his presence.George leaned against his car, watching me like he was waiting for something. I felt his gaze carefully studying every bit of me. There was no hiding any part of me, I was like an open book in his eyes."I had fun," I admitted. The words felt foreign, like I wasn't supposed to say them.George's lips curled up slightly. "Yeah?"I nodded, shifting my weight on my feet. "Yeah."A beat of silence in the air, deafening but calm, took over.Then…"Let me take you home."He wasn't asking.Maybe that's why I nodded.The drive back was quieter than before. Not awkward, just… calm.It felt like we had crossed some invisible line neither of us wanted to acknowledge

Chapter 7: An Unwanted Familiar Face
CASSIE I told myself last time was the it was the last time. I would never see him again. That after last night, after breakfast this morning, that'd be it. I would put some distance between us. I would get back to my normal life and stop whatever this was before it turned into a wild beast I couldn't control. But George, he showed up at the café again. And at this point I couldn't detect if I was angry or I was just trying to play hard to get. His exuding warmth filled the room like he belonged there. Like he belonged with me. And for the first time, I wasn't sure if I wanted him to leave. I stayed behind the counter meticulously watching him, pretending I wasn't hyper-aware of his presence. While he sat in his usual spot, one arm resting casually on the table, his phone placed right in front of him but untouched because he wasn't paying attention to it. He was watching me as I cleaned the counter for t

Chapter 8: The Impact
GEORGE Cassie went pale faster than I had ever seen anyone go pale. It made me almost reach for her. Her eyes were locked on a figure across the street, her entire body turned as stiff as a board. I turned my head, following her gaze. There was a man standing by the bus stop. Approximately in his Mid-40s, looking unkept, unshaven and wearing a cheap pale blue jacket. I didn't quite understand why she froze this badly, he wasn't even doing anything, but something about him made her freeze. "Cassie," I said calmly. There was no response. She didn't move neither did she blink. And that's when I realized. Whoever he was, he wasn't just a stranger. CASSIE I couldn't move, I couldn't think, everything thing in my body system had shut down. I could see my world had fallen apart, and suddenly, I wasn't standing outside the café with George anymore. I was back in my past life, where ev
