Love Lost Love Found

“I only want you, Maximus. I already told my parents that I love you and I'm going to marry you. No one else.” Aurora indignantly exclaimed. Max was shaking his head from what he heard. “No. No. You’re not being fair, Aurora.” He felt himself losing his strength as well as any chance to change her mind. Max leaned his body at the back of the single chair, almost sitting on it. He tugged on his necktie, needing some more air. His gaze fell on the ground. He’s powerless against his father. He won’t be able to protect his girlfriend from his family. He didn’t notice that Aurora was already in front of him. He just felt her palm on his cheeks, caressing it gently. He looked up to her. “You’re not fair.” He mumbled weakly. Like a defeated child. She’s rubbing her thumb against his cheeks. “The world’s not fair, Max.” Shaking her head. “It’s never fair.” She commented breathlessly. “You get everything you want.” He ignored her actions. He’d gone numb all over. This girl was too much of everything. Too selfish to even understand how he felt. “No. I don’t have your heart.” Max swatted her hand away and stood up straight. He chuckled at her response and halted. He shook his head as he looked at her straight in the eyes. “You won’t. You don’t even have one.” ************** Aurora Fontalva got everything except the heart of a certain man. She only wants Max. But how can she make him fall for her when he already had someone? He loves his girlfriend. Maximus D’Arco can’t escape his family’s wish for him to marry the only Fontalva heiress. Worse, Aurora even blackmailed him, or his girlfriend would suffer. Why would he fall for someone who doesn’t even care about his feelings? Only his girlfriend does. Is there really a thin line between love and hate? What if the thread breaks? **************** AN: Be warned!!! This is not your typical romance. As the story progresses, it tackles family, career, toxic relationships, twisted attraction, love, hate, lust, and heavy drama. And there are cases in which you can be sensitive. Lastly, this is not for the weak of heart. Please read the FOREWORD. Thank you.

Do you think you'll ever live without the pain? What if you had one more shot to change everything? Would you take your chance and let it perhaps break your heart once again?. In the captivating world of "Lost & Found," one gets immersed into a place where love and loss interchange intricately to take all four remarkable people into equilibrium. Against the vast expanse of the sea, four royal siblings carry their sets of strengths and vulnerabilities with each one. He embodies authority and responsibility as he takes his siblings on a journey of brotherhood and discovery. He commands the way and gives it his all, making them go on a sailing tour of discovery. Beside him stands the Oldest Princess, a creature of elegance and wisdom. Her natural sense of sailing through problems with poise and insight is an evidence to her royal bearing. As fates' winds shift, and the storm comes around them, she has made decisions that have tested her resolve and redefine her in the family. There was something of the younger princess, her spirited temper and boundless curiosity-a ray of youthful exuberance to the group. There is something infectious in that laugh, optimism with a hope that their unities would guide them through tempests. And then there is the Youngest Prince-hope and innocence. This wide stare keeps all wonders within it; his laughter-like gentle music-he is nothing but a poignant symbol to the tragedy that unfolds for the siblings; he ends up being snatched up by waves his siblings will not be able to clutch onto. Among the ruins and devastation, four kings are faced with a painful reality: the youngest member of their family is gone in the arms of the sea. The survival expedition becomes a reunion quest, as their grief takes them to an uncharted island that has secrets of its own. The story then takes a poignant turn when destiny weaves their fates together with that of a young island girl. The island girl, as a symbol of resilience and empathy, finds the unconscious Youngest Prince on the shore. Her hands, which have crafted delicate jewelry, extend to a lifeless form, merging their destinies in this poignant connection. "Lost & Found" is a story of ties that are forged in the fire of loss and of the depth to which love can propel us to regain what is most precious. In this sense, it's like the ebb and flow of the sea around the characters as breathtaking landscapes and heart-wrenching encounters unfold around them and chart their way into unknown territories of self-discovery, compassion, and hope.
