Summary:

 

A Special Thank You to MINX for the AMAZING banner.

Alicia meets Nick and they begin a Journey full of love, forgiveness and Passion. From two different worlds their love bridges the culture gap and emotional walls come crashing down. This is a Story of faith and love in its purest forms.

Alicia is in her third year of nursing school, at 23 she is more than ready to take on the real world after moving to New York far away from her overprotective family where she is learning to depend more on herself and taking big steps to her independance.

Nick is a first generation Chinese-American living in New York, at 25 he is done pleasing everyone but himself, he was to be a doctor like his father and for most of his life he spent his days and nights studying and working at that goal... In the last year before his graduation from medical school Nick decides to take a break and
somehow how ended up buying a club with his bestfriend Sean. one year later Nick is conflicted though he loves his life the one he made for himself he misses his family and he even misses medical school. After his little detour from the path his father wanted him to take his family relationships are strained at best. Alicia teaches him the meaning of forgiveness and shows him that its time to let go of the past to embrace the future.

Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6

First I'm enjoying the story, the chapters are a little short could be lengthened. After what K did to her there is no way in heck I'd have that vulture in my house and I'm saying that if she was sporting two broken legs. If Alicia is really into Nick as he is to her she better protect that blooming relationship or she'll be on my list. Look forward to more updates. JV

Author's Response: They would be if I had time ,at the moment I stay up later than I should, but it is something ill have to work on. Thanks for the review.~

Title: Chapter 2: Burning the Mask

I enjoyed the first chapter I am not so sure I get why David would want to meet in such a public place since the media frenzy would only increase? If it was only a chance encounter between David and Glory, why is she considered a hypocript, I thought maybe they were cauglt in a moment. Will enjoy seeing where this goes.

Title: Chapter 1: Whatever Happen's in the Dark comes to Light.

My bad, obviously I read chapter 2 thinking it was one, okay Glory was wrong as two left shoes, the encounter was in deed a set up for her and David to meet up again. Good beginning, and Glory leading a double life and flriting with and older guy, just wrong.  Yet I like the premise and now I'm really looking forward to see if Glory will find her own way or continue to live the way her mom wants her which isn't really a bad thing, LOL
