"Contraception will do you well for our future encounters Mio dolce amore.” He says sternly as he runs his hands through my hair. “Contraception?” I pull back and look up at him. “I thought this was just a one-off thing.” I frown. I watch his eyes change with anger flaring through them. In a barely controlled lowered tone and through clenched teeth. “This was never just a one-off thing for me Vanessa.” He huffs. “I want to continue to find out where this chemistry between us leads. Even if you are prepared to drive us into a train wreck!" My name's Vanessa Maddison. I once was a lonely soul with nothing to look forward to. I have an amazing best friend called Chrissy. She's been the anchor to my sinking ship, desperately trying to breathe hope back into my lifeless heart. My existence was a battle and it was a war I was slowly starting to lose. That was until Luca Venturi walks into my life like a raging storm. He has the ability to explode everything up around me, like a bullet-shaped torpedo gliding through the ocean hitting its target. Me!. He tells me we have something special together, something raw and beautiful. I was hesitant to let him into my heart, and when I did... I soon learned about the web of lies my love for him was built upon. That something he described as special, raw, and beautiful had nothing to do about us. The life I thought I knew was a lie, the man I fell in love with wasn't real, and that something special, raw and beautiful was taken from me a long time ago and I didn't even know it existed.” lg...

VIOLA I’m in love with love and I love couples who are in love. They are my bread and butter after all but that’s not why I love them. There’s something so magical to see a couple choose to go into the future together, to face life’s challenges together, and rise above it all to come out on the other side stronger and more in love than ever before. I love it so much that I became a wedding planner. Watching couples young and old committing their lives to each other is something that’s just so special. No couple is the same. There’s something different about all of them that makes each one special. I never get tired of seeing couples stare lovingly into each other’s eyes as they plan, prepare and execute their wedding ceremony pledging their undying love to one another for the rest of their lives. I haven’t got there yet myself but watching other couples keeps my dream of finding Mr. Right alive. But life doesn’t always see things the way we dream of them turning out. It sure didn’t see it my way when he crossed my path. RICK I don’t believe in love. If it really exists why are there so many broken relationships and people in the world? Not that I care… about the broken relationships I mean. After all, they are my bread and butter. And those events called weddings are my hunting ground. After all, people lay the foundation for the demise of their marriage before they’re even married. Prenups and all sorts of agreements are designed to protect their wealth and their assets and force others to stay with them even when they don’t want to anymore. Weddings give couples the right to punish each other when they don’t want to be together anymore for whatever reason. So, when anyone tells you that it starts with a wedding they’re wrong. It starts with a lawyer. And if it ends… well, it ends with a lawyer too. Funny that. Often the people that I work for before their wedding, come knocking on my door a few years down the line. Repeat business. So, love is great and it is for me but just not for me if you get what I mean. When I met the wedding planner she was incensed at the thought that we might collaborate. Other planners have no issue with it. Why she should have, I don’t get it. Normally I would just walk away but the universe seems to have other plans…lg...
