The way the world works

In a harsh world, where survival demands a hardened heart and cunning ways, where all are bound by manipulation and ulterior motives.

A woman yearning to break free from the chains that bind her, desiring nothing more than freedom and a life of her own.

A man but a beast he is called for cold is the blood that runs in his veins and cruel are his ways.

A women trying to survive by any means and a man born to lead, Both carry scars, some visible and others hidden, bound by family and blood, but not by the heart.

As glasses cling and laughter sounds within the ivory halls, eyes meet and something grows, an unspoken connection that binds hearts and even souls.
