When Paths Cross Again

Fated billionaire meets lost love; is obligation stronger than desire?

The Jealousy and Ownership POV: “She has another’s ring on her finger, and the thought is a poison in my throat. I see the ‘comforting predictability’ of her life and want to shatter it with a single touch. It infuriates me that a man who doesn’t even see her fire gets her safety, while I, who sees only her, am left with nothing but longing.”

The Billionaire Confronts a Prior Commitment: The romantic tension is amplified because Summer is caught in her own “web of commitments” and is bound by a “promise to another”. This immediately creates a conflict where Gabriel, who is used to getting what he wants, has to confront a moral and emotional wall. The plot becomes intriguing as Gabriel is forced to navigate a situation where his immense wealth cannot simply buy her freedom, leading to intense internal and external battles over desire versus obligation. 💔
