Brittany was such a lucky girl at 18 years old, she had loving parents, and a cute best friend she was harbouring feelings for when something happened, she got acquainted with Lucas the son of her mother’s employer. Naive, they became friends and had unprotected sex and Brittany had to have an abortion since Lucas's father and family members threatened to harm her if she proceeded with the pregnancy. This left Lucas, who is now 30, to join the Marines after obtaining a law degree as well as running away from a dominating father. In the military, he suffers a traumatic event which leaves him with PTSD, then has to go back to his father’s business where he is pressured to marry and produce an heir.

They have to unmask Lucas’s cunning stepmother and demanding father to regain the title they both deserve and rediscover the bond they lost long ago.

A Fragile Reunion

…all the names of the soldiers were listed and 'deceased' was written in front. Only Lucas did not have 'deceased' written beside his name. It dawned on me how much Lucas has lost. At a point in his life, he has lost everyone he cared about.

I quickly replaced the photograph so he wouldn't find me sneaking into his privacy. Aside from the Duchamp's painting, there were other artworks from popular artists. I didn't keep up with the world of art after we relocated to Canada. Imagine my surprise when my roommate turned out to be an artist.

With careful steps, I went downstairs expecting to see Lucas or dinner but they were both absent. I was about to yell out his name when he appeared from a door that I hadn't noticed before, looking forlorn.
