What happens when two special people run into each other in an unconventional way? Adonis, an unusual kingpin, prides himself on staying out the way and keeping a low profile. Unfortunately, throughout the years of growing his empire, he has found himself alone while raising his teen daughter. Aphrodite, still placing the pieces of her life back together after the man she expected to grow old with abandons her, has only two things on her mind. Ensuring that her two children are happy and well taken care of. By chance, the pair meet and sparks fly so high, leaving one running for the hills but the other ready for the chase. Can the unwilling party continue to keep their distance, or will the other win this relentless battle? In this short story, a love that has transcended from the times of Greek Gods and Goddesses has found its way to the modern day. Can this Valentine's day be the start of forever? Follow Aphrodite and Adonis on their short journey, I assure you, they are who you've been waiting on.
