LOGINRhona grew up watching her mother's marriage fall apart. After her parents' separation, she decided not to let her mom's love life destroy hers and promised herself to find a love that's worth her decision Then she meets Adrian Cole at Westbridge University. A dark, handsome, confident, intelligent, w wealthy, and impossible-to-comprehend young man Given with all his attributes, Adrian slowly becomes the person Rhona never believed she'd fall for but his mixed signals, cocky nature, manipulative act leaves her with more questions than answers, just when she started to believe that there might be something real between them even when they were not dating Adrian leaves her to pick up the broken pieces after months and weeks of giving all her love and duties to him Years later, Rhona and Adrian had become successful lawyers, and they met again without recognizing each other at a club, but the connection felt strangely familiar, and before Rhona could understand why, she found herself drawn to the man she had promised herself she'd forgotten That leaves Rhona to decide whether some love stories deserve a second chance or whether the love she promised herself she'd find was never Adrian.
View MoreRhona ignored Adrian's text for two days, she kept wondering why she ignored them or why she was angry because she doesn't have the right to get angry.Hey, you disappeared. You good?That's all it said. Simple, Casual. Like he hadn't just been in the library kissing someone who looked like they belonged in a magazine.She didn't respond because she didn't know how to respond. What was she supposed to say? "Yeah, I'm great, just watched you kiss your girlfriend right after asking for my number, so that's cool"?She couldn't do that. So she just didn't do anything.Priya noticed immediately, of course."You're being weird," Priya said on Friday morning, while they were getting ready for class."I'm not being weird.""You've checked your phone like thirty times since we woke up. That's weird."Rhona didn't argue because Priya was right. She was checking for texts from Adrian even though she'd decided not to respond to the one he'd already sent."Did something happen in the library that
Rhona spent two days working up the courage to do what Priya had suggested.Two days of sitting in Contracts, thinking about how to make it not obvious that she was looking for a reason to talk to him. Two days of Priya texting her things like "just ask him already" and "you're overthinking this" and "he literally answered your last question, he's not going to bite."By Wednesday afternoon, she'd decided that if she didn't do it today, she wasn't going to do it at all. And she was tired of not doing it.She found him in the library around 3 PM, sitting at one of the study tables with his laptop open and a stack of case files beside him. He looked focused, in his own world, the kind of concentration that made her think about interrupting him feel like a big deal.She walked over anyway."Hey," she said, and then immediately felt stupid because "hey" was the laziest way to start a conversation.He looked up, and something in his expression shifted when he realized it was her. Not a bad
The conversation about case law shouldn't have stuck with Rhona the way it did.It was just a question, a clarification, the kind of thing any classmate could have answered. But the way he'd explained it — like he actually gave a shit about whether she understood it or not — had stayed in her head throughout the rest of the dayShe found herself replaying it in her head while walking back to her room, which she knew was stupid. He was just a guy who answered a question. That was it."You're doing that thing again madam rhona," Priya said the second Rhona walked in. She sat comfortably on her bed ,with her laptop open in front of her, probably procrastinating on readings she had due tomorrow."What thing?" Rhona replied"The thinking thing. The one where you look like you're mad at something but you're actually just confused.""I'm not confused.""Okay, so you're mad."Rhona dropped her bag by her bed and didn't answer, which was apparently answer enough because Priya closed her laptop
ADRIAN’S POV Adrian Cole had a problem he couldn’t solve, and it was sitting three seats over in a back row of Contracts.He’d noticed her the first day of classes — actually, he’d noticed her before that, at some point during orientation when he’d walked past a circle of students and caught her laughing at something someone had said, the kind of laugh that seemed to come from somewhere genuine instead of the practiced social performance most people defaulted to. He’d kept walking, hadn’t thought much of it at the time.Then she showed up in his lecture hall, and suddenly not thinking about her became significantly harder.The staring wasn’t intentional at first. It was just — she sat there, took notes like she was having a conversation with her own handwriting, asked sharp questions that made the professor pause before answering. She had this way of tucking her hair behind her ear when she was concentrating that made it hard to look anywhere else once he'd noticed it.After about a
