Description
Alethia Willows leads a "simple" and quiet life. She cooks, she cleans, she does the laundry. She does everything her Mother demands her to do. But Alethia is tired. Day after day her Mother throws insults at her. "You're ugly. Repulsive. Useless. A burden. " Alethia has heard it all. And there's nothing she can do to refute those accusations. You see, Alethia doesn't see what her Mother sees. In fact, Alethia doesn't see at all. ~~~~~ Prince Arryn lives in a grand home. He has his own butlers and chauffeurs, the latest gadgets, and not to mention, adoring parents. He is Prince in title only, for it was passed down throughout the generations. His father owns a multi-million dollar business to which Arryn is the sole heir. But Arryn longs for something more. His heart never completely healed after he was told his best friend died in a car accident. And their last farewell was less than favourable. When he is sent away to visit his ageing grandmother, Arryn stumbles upon a house hidden in the woods. A house surrounded by 10 ft tall concrete walls. And through a small crevice in the wall, he is reunited with his long-lost childhood friend. But things are much different this time. He can see her, but she can't see him. Will Alethia get past her insecurities and embrace who she is? Will Arryn find a way to heal himself and patch up a friendship he thought he had lost? Will Alethia open up to the stranger who seems all too familiar?
