"Soulmates in the City" follows the lives of two individuals, Alexandra "Lexi" Thompson, a successful event planner in her late 20s, and Ethan Patel, a talented musician in his early 30s, as they navigate love, loss, and self-discovery in the bustling city of New York. Lexi, having given up on love after a string of failed relationships, focuses on her career and building a life with her close-knit group of friends. Ethan, on the other hand, is still reeling from a painful past and finds solace in his music. When their paths cross at a charity event, they feel an inexplicable connection, but their fears and doubts hinder them from exploring it further. As fate continues to bring them together, they must confront their inner demons and learn to trust themselves and each other. Through a series of serendipitous encounters, heartfelt conversations, and shared moments of vulnerability, Lexi and Ethan discover that they are soulmates, meant to be together despite the chaos and uncertainty of city life.-

Chapter 1 A CHANCE ENCOUNTER

Lexi Thompson rushed through the crowded streets of Manhattan, her heels clicking on the pavement. She was already running late for a meeting with a potential client, and the last thing she needed was to get stuck in a sea of tourists. Her event planning business, Thompson & Co., was on the verge of taking off, and she couldn't afford to make a bad impression.

As she turned the corner onto 5th Avenue, she collided with a tall, dark-haired man carrying a guitar case. Apologetic smiles were exchanged, and Lexi's eyes met the stranger's for a brief moment. His piercing blue gaze seemed to see right through her, and she felt a shiver run down her spine.

"Sorry about that," Lexi said, adjusting her bag and trying to compose herself. "I'm always running late, it seems."

"No worries, I'm the one who should be apologizing," the man replied, his deep voice sending another shiver down her spine. "I wasn't watching where I was going. I'm Ethan, by the way."

"Lexi," she replied, taking his hand in a brief handshake. "Nice to meet you, Ethan."

Their eyes locked again, and Lexi felt an inexplicable jolt. It was as if time had slowed down, and all that existed was the two of them, suspended in a sea of strangers. She quickly looked away, attributing the sensation to her frazzled nerves.

"I have to run," Lexi said, already moving away from Ethan. "Nice running into you, though."

"You too," he called out, his voice fading into the city noise.

Lexi didn't look back, but the brief encounter lingered in her mind like a whispered secret.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
