Angelina Williams, a 26-year-old marketing specialist from the small village of Cedarville, has always believed that love is a myth for her village, with a long history of failed relationships and heartbreaks. The villagers have come to accept that love is not in their fate.

Lina has resigned herself to the same belief, focusing on her work and building a life without romance, but her best friend, Bella, has other plans for her. Bella sets Lina up on a blind date with Daniel, a 30-year-old CEO from Everwood City, known for his cold and ruthless business tactics.

Their first date is a disaster, with Bella eager to ensure her friend's safety tagged along. Daniel, determined to prove himself, doesn't give up on Lina despite the disastrous first date. As they continue dating, Lina finds herself falling for Daniel's vulnerable side, hidden beneath his tough exterior. But her beliefs about her village's curse and Daniel's reputation as a heartless CEO threaten to tear them apart.

Can Lina and Daniel overcome their differences and break the curse of Cedarville's loveless history? Or will their relationship become another casualty of small-town superstition and big-city cynicism?

Can we just date

If I had known I would be going out on a date today, I would have gone to my parents' house yesterday or would have pretended to be sick all day. I feel like total crap; it feels like my face doesn't belong to me anymore. Like, seriously, I can't feel my face anymore... well, that's dramatic... 'cause she only applied light makeup on me, but still, I can't bite my lip because it's been painted, and it's annoying me already.

"HOLY MACARONI..." she screamed. "You look like a princess from Disneyland," Bella commented. Ugh, she's bragging. Why else would she call me a princess from Disneyland if not to show off?

"It's all thanks to you, queen mother," I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.

She pretended to wipe tears from the corner of her eyes. "Your words moved me to tears, my dear. You're flattering me," she said. Y'all see what I'm saying!

Bella can be bitchy sometimes, but right now I don't know if she's being loving or bitchy. She's setting me up on a date with a guy I don't know, dressing me up like a real lady, and applying makeup on me. I don't know what to feel or think right now.

"Babes, get over here," Bella called from the living room.

As much as I would really love to disappear and hide somewhere for the rest of the night, I can't. I just have to do what 'the great Annabella' wants, or I would be kicked out of the house, but believe me, it's just for tonight. Walking out of the room, I saw her staring at her phone in shock. I really, really, really hope the date was canceled.

"Bella, what's wrong?" I asked, pretending like I really care, and praying in my mind that the date really got canceled.

"He's here," she answered in a daze.

"Babe, he is here," she said, still in a daze.

"What the hell are you talking about, and who on earth is here?" I asked. Clearly, I'm getting frustrated.

"Oh, shut the fuck up. Your date is here, and he's here to pick you up... so buckle up," she said, coming back to her senses.

Now it was my turn to go numb. He's here, my date is here. The guy I haven't met before was here now, not as a random stranger but as my date. "Wh-what did you s-say?" I stuttered.

"Get a grip, beauty, it's time to go," she said happily, fixing my hair. Not like it really got messed up or something, just acting like the weirdo she is.

"Ummmm.. I really need to get my shit together. I'm not ready yet. Can you buy me some time?" I asked.

"Sure, anything for you babe. I'll just keep my brother-in-law busy," she said and winked at me before walking to the door. Brother-in-law, my foot.

'Who said I was going to marry him, I don't know maybe I would even like him or not. He must be so boring and annoying, yes he must be. All I have to do is just go with him, find fault in all his doings and never see him again, its not a big deal since I'm not being forced to like or love him, he must be a hot-face guy without brains' i said to myself.

Believing all those things I made up just now made me proud of myself and gave me the courage to move. Without thinking twice about anything else, I walked out of the kitchen and saw Bella sitting across from Daniel with his back to me. Good thing he wasn't facing me because I'm feeling kind of nervous now, but it's too late to turn back.

"Hey come over here, don't just stand there staring at his back. Dont tell me ure already crushing on his back" bella joked.

And just as I was about to say something stupid daniel stood up,turned around and faced me. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. And i could swear that the Daniel staring at me right now wasn't the same daniel I saw in the picture.
