Chapter 1: A Chance Encounter
New York City, 2019
Nathan Harris, a 45-year-old billionaire, stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of his high-rise office, gazing out at the Manhattan skyline. His sharp jawline and piercing blue eyes seemed chiseled from granite, radiating an aura of confidence and power.
Meanwhile, in a small café in Brooklyn, Tatiana Lewis, a 38-year-old ordinary woman, sipped her coffee, lost in thought. Her long, curly brown hair cascaded down her back, and her bright green eyes sparkled with a hint of sadness. She had given up on love, tired of the disappointments and heartaches.
As fate would have it, their paths crossed in the unlikeliest of ways. Nathan, on his way to a business meeting, stumbled upon Tatiana, who had accidentally dropped her purse on the sidewalk. As he rushed to help her, their eyes met, and for a fleeting moment, time stood still.
Nathan's gaze lingered on Tatiana's face, and he felt an inexplicable jolt of attraction. Tatiana, however, merely smiled politely and thanked him, oblivious to the spark that had just ignited.
As they parted ways, Nathan couldn't shake off the feeling that he had just encountered something extraordinary. Little did he know, his life was about to take a dramatic turn, one that would challenge everything he thought he knew about love and himself.
Here's Chapter 2:
Chapter 2: Meet Cute
Nathan couldn't concentrate on his meeting. His mind kept wandering back to the woman he had helped on the sidewalk. He couldn't remember the last time he had felt such a strong connection with someone.
As the meeting drew to a close, Nathan excused himself and stepped out into the cool evening air. He took a deep breath, trying to clear his head.
That's when he saw her again - Tatiana, sitting at a small café across the street, sipping a cup of coffee. Nathan's heart skipped a beat as he felt fate nudging him toward her.
Without hesitation, Nathan crossed the street and walked into the café. Tatiana looked up, startled, as he approached her table.
"Mind if I join you?" Nathan asked, his deep voice sending a shiver down Tatiana's spine.
Tatiana's eyes narrowed slightly, but she nodded curtly. "Not at all."
As Nathan sat down, Tatiana couldn't help but notice the air of confidence surrounding him. She had met men like him before - arrogant, self-assured, and expecting the world to revolve around them.
But there was something different about Nathan. Something that made her feel like he could see right through her.
