Hank Clegg had always been aware that he was born under a star of misfortune, and therefore, no woman had ever left her footprint in his life over the past twenty years.
He couldn't drag others down with him, couldn't disappoint them, but most importantly, he couldn't promise anyone love.
Yet, Victoria Talkington came along.
Her presence upset his stability and beliefs.
He tried to push her out of his life, but in the end, he found that she had made her way deep into his soul.
He couldn't let her go.
If he couldn't let go, then the only option left was to accept.
So, starting from now, his life had a new mission.
That was to find the safest place between his career and love.
He feared losing her, especially worried if anyone knew about his fear.
He had never been afraid of anything in his life, but now he was afraid of losing her.
