Arya, as a character, has always been with me for as long as I remember. She is my alter-ego. Cadrez, on the other hand, is my kind of guy - tall, caring, gentle, a man of few words. I wrote this story when I was in college - such a long time ago! If you like first love and action, this story is for you. I have kept the language as I have used it when I wrote it. I intend to keep this story as a memento of those youthful days... ********************************************************************************************* Synopsis: Cadrez and Arya shared a dark secret. Both had families dealing in the underworld. After a brief meeting and being separated for five years, they met again under forced circumstances. Can both get away from their past and build a new beginning?
