Complicated Fairytale

Complicated Fairytale
Addison Hayes is living what seems like a picture-perfect life, engaged to a successful lawyer and building her dream event planning business. But when a chance encounter with the notoriously charming Kade Jacobs throws her world into disarray, Addison finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew. Is Kade just a cocky playboy, or does his audacious honesty reveal a truth about her own 'fairytale' that she's been too afraid to see? Dive into a whirlwind of unexpected romance, professional ambition, and startling betrayals where the line between fairytale and complicated reality blurs.

The blare of my alarm ripped me from a much-needed sleep. Six a.m. came too early, a constant reminder of the demanding work that awaited. Yawning, I dragged myself out of bed and into the shower, the mundane routine a stark contrast to the dreams of a life that felt increasingly out of reach.

After dressing in my usual black dress pants and a pink button-up blouse, I headed to the kitchen, the scent of coffee a beacon in the quiet apartment. Just as the first sip hit my tongue, the front door swung open, and in stumbled Darby Madison, my best friend. Her blonde hair was a chaotic mess, and she clutched her heels in her hand, a tell-tale sign of another late night.

“Doing the walk of shame early this morning, aren’t you, Dar?” I teased, a grin spreading across my face. She just groaned, cementing the familiar rhythm of our mornings.
