Why does love feels so uncomfortable
Why does love feels so uncomfortable
“-- Lara Smith, the only daughter of the influential Smith family, had never truly owned her life. Even though she was born into wealth and privilege, her parents saw her less as a daughter and more as a bargaining chip. When their company teetered on the edge of bankruptcy, they used her as collateral in a desperate deal - a move that would entangle her with two men, William and Rufus, both chosen for her benefit, though she felt nothing for them. Her heart, however, had always belonged elsewhere. The day Tomson - her childhood sweetheart - returned, old emotions came rushing back. It felt like destiny had given her a second chance at love. But that chance turned to ruin. Tomson shattered her, playing her heart like a pawn in a chess game, using her vulnerabilities against her until she was left broken and humiliated. In the wreckage of her trust, Liam appeared. Unlike anyone she had ever known, Liam was patient, kind, and unwavering. He didn't just speak of love - he proved it in every gesture, every glance, every word. Slowly, he rebuilt her faith in something she thought had died forever. With him, she began to heal, to dream, and to believe again. Then tragedy struck. A plane crash. Liam was gone. The news ripped through her like a blade, leaving her hollow and numb. But grief soon turned into suspicion. Something didn't feel right. The pieces didn't add up. Her instincts were right. Liam wasn't dead. His "death" had been fabricated, his body replaced with that of a dead police officer. And behind it all was Olivia - Lara's rival and Tomson's bitter ex-girlfriend. Olivia had orchestrated the lie, weaving it into a web of deceit designed to destroy Lara's happiness, fuel old misunderstandings, and keep her trapped in a cycle of heartbreak. But Lara was no longer the naive girl who could be moved around like a game piece. Fueled by determination, she set out to uncover the truth. Each clue brought her closer to the heart of the conspiracy, unraveling the schemes and betrayals that had haunted her for years. In the end, she exposed Olivia's lies, dismantled the manipulation, and reclaimed her life. Liam was freed from the shadows of the plot, and together they emerged from the chaos stronger than ever. Against all odds, Lara and Liam finally found the peace they had fought for. And for the first time, Lara wasn't just living for her family's name or their fortune - she was living for herself, and for the love that had survived every storm. ---”
