I continued to walk back and forth across the room, nervously nibbling at my fingernails. "Come on, Halle. Are you going to open up about what's bothering you? I've been waiting here for ages," Jessie turned to me, fixing her gaze on me as she cradled a glass of wine in her hands. Swallowing hard, I finally mustered the courage to confess, "Jess, it's hard to put into words, but I think I've fallen in love." Jessie gasped in response, "That's fantastic news! Who is it? You have to tell me," she urged, smirking and moving closer to me, prompting me to let out a heavy sigh. "Both of them," I admitted, bowing my head just as the glass tumbled from her grasp. "You've fallen for both of them?How did it happen?" ******************************************* When admitted to Gleewood Arts, an elite college for the exceptionally talented, Halle's life takes a dramatic turn.

Chapter 1 Prologue

Halle's POV

Struggling to rise from the hospital bed, weakened and unsteady, Jessie's voice echoed, "Where are you going?" Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, "Please wait, we need to talk." She held me back, urging me to calm down.

Restlessly, I wandered the hospital, searching for what was never lost-my reflection. Finally facing a mirror, panic seized me. "I thought it was all going to be over. I'm still the ugly beast, the one in my own story. I thought it was all going to be over."

A gentle squeeze on my hands, tears flowing uncontrollably, and Jessie pulled me into a tight embrace. "I'm never letting you go, Halle. I couldn't protect you, but I won't let anyone hurt you again."

"You're the only one who truly loves me for me, the ugly beast I am," I confessed to Jessie. "Why are you doing this to yourself? Losing your mind over a tiny error. I wish you could see how perfect you are; you're beautiful just the way you are," Jessie said, and we turned to face the mirror. She smiled at me as I touched the huge scar covering half of my face and managed a fake smile.

"Scars might leave marks, but they keep reminding you of yourself. One day, you'll heal," She whispered.

Andrea Deciding that I was going to skip a day at work so I could have first time sex with my boyfriend seemed like the most absurd decision I could ever make. Or at least that was what I'd thought. Until I'd walked in on my said boyfriend cheating on me with some redhead and decided to get my revenge by losing my virginity to his wealthy billionaire father instead. Crazy, right? Trust me, I know. Like that's not enough, things take a drastic turn for the worst after I realized I was in love with him and pregnant with his child. Before I could get the chance to come clean about every including my feelings formhim and the pregnancy, he finds out about my trickery. Alejandro's not one to condone being lied to and deceived so he immediately tells me he doesn't want to see me again. So what do I do? I pack up and leave the country. But it seems like the universe isn't done with us just yet. . . Alejandro I should have known better than to get involved with someone way younger than me. It was something I've never done before. But like the saying goes, there's a first time for everything. The first time I met Andrea I was captivated by her beauty. More than that there was this innocence in her that called out to me like a moth to a flame. I ignored all the warnings in my head and went after what I wanted. And what I wanted was her. Unfortunately what she wanted was revenge against my son. I told myself that it had to be some kind of mistake. There was no way she had been playing with my feelings and planning some silly revenge this whole time. But she had. It had taken a surprise visit from my son for me to find out her true intentions. Even then it had been hard to believe it. But I couldn't deny that she'd fooled me real good alright. So naturally I cut ties with her. And that's supposed to be the end, right? Wrong. Turns out that our story was never destined to end just there. . .
