Carter Gordon had lost the love of his life at 20 in the summer of his sophomore year in college. Rosa the love of his life wanted to belong in high society so she married Lord Jason Brighton and he was on his 50s. Rosa his best friend and the woman who knows the art of breaking in, whether it's a locked locker, room, house or his heart.
So Carter thought it was impossible to spot her 8 years later in front of his real estate empire. He defied the lifestyle of wealth like his mother but his maternal grandfather found a way to lure him in due to the depressed life he had experienced after losing Rosa. Now as the CEO he becomes more driven to life for success, no attachment, freedom and winning.
"Can you show me the CCTV outside the building at 1pm" He demanded on the guard. "Pause that right there and print it." The guard looked at the picture and handed it to Carter.
"Mr. Gordon this lady came in at 11:00 am meeting with Miss Sanchez."
He thanked the man and learned from Miss Sanchez that Rosa Brighton has a proposal of investments. He immediately told Miss Sanchez to deny any business with her.
A few weeks later he spots her at a bowl surrounded by men who is flirting and catering her every need. She was beautiful with her strawberry blonde hair curling down at shoulder length, brown oval hazel eyes, her complexion fair-light-brown complementing the blue-green dress.
His date was sensing the loss of his attention from her when all his interest shifted to Rosa. His date left early and he stayed longer to watch over the girl he had loved dancing and enjoying the company of men as if she wasn't married.
She left the party meanwhile he had stayed trying to digest what just happened. The woman he grew up with was somehow different now. She was more beautiful, more desirable and mostly not his Rosa...
He entered his loft and turned on all the lights. He took off his bow tie, unbuttoned his shirt, sat down to the couch and place his vest to the chair.
"Why were you staring at me all night?" She stands up from the corner window, her back leaned on the wall and arms folded. Her gown now slightly wrinkled.
"Because you are so Goddamn beautiful."
"Hmph." She dismissed sarcastically and paced nervously. "Do you hate me."
"Why do you say that?"
"My proposal you..."
He got up and rubbed his eyes in annoyance. "God Rosa I know the Brighton are going bankrupt and why you are here but I can't help you. I will not be your escape goat. You left me for that man for God sake. I loved you since we were kids and I don't want anything to do with you again."
