Walking into the mansion, my heart raced with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety. I hoped to see Henry, to catch him by surprise, but what I saw left me completely taken aback.
Henry's laughter dwindled as he looked up, meeting my gaze. "Sophia?" His voice was a mixture of surprise and confusion.
My heart raced, my cheeks flushing. This was definitely not how I had envisioned our reunion. I stammered, "I... I didn't expect to see you like this."
He stood up, disentangling himself from the woman beside him. "I didn't expect to see you at all."
******
After a painful teenage rejection from her crush who happens to be her father's best friend, Sophia is determined to win over his heart at all costs, especially now that she is going off to college and would be living under the same roof as Henry. He is a 40-year-old breathtakingly handsome man. He doesn't even look a day over forty. Henry is a renowned businessman and also best friend and business partner with Collin's Sophia dad.
When Sophia moves in to live with him, he tries to resist the urge to be with her especially knowing all the complexity it would cause, him being twice her age and knowing Collins would adamantly kick against it, But he begins to nurture strong feelings for Sophia which is at first disguised as Jealousy and later he realizes he has fallen deeply in love with her. What would they do with this growing strong affection they have towards each other and how would they deal with all the complexity that comes with being in-love?
