Aaron was nothing more than a man of numbers, contracts, and ruthless decisions. His empire was built on the sweat of others, his success a symbol of his unwavering devotion to business. Everything in his life boiled down to money, power, and control. His days were filled with endless meetings and negotiations where he allowed no room for weakness. Love, to him, was merely an illusion, a needless luxury. He was the alpha of his own kingdom, unshakable, and the very notion of vulnerability was foreign to him. Then, one day, he crossed paths with her. Eternity Granger. She was the perfect opposite of everything he represented. Her joy for life was contagious, her innocence a breath of fresh air in a suffocating world. There were no calculations in her eyes, only a genuine spark, a soft and comforting light. She seemed to float through life, bringing with her an indescribable energy, like a river running free, unbound. But behind that sweetness lay a troubled past, a burden she carried with strange grace. Eternity was no ordinary ray of sunshine. She was a blazing sun, capable of piercing the deepest darkness. And Aaron, so sure of himself, so master of his universe, was about to discover that even the most solid empire could falter in the face of love. A love he had never sought, but one that would eventually find him.

Eternity POV

As I gradually peel back the covers, I can't help but feel a bit sluggish. Blinking several times, I try to adjust to the sudden beams of sunlight streaming in through the window. It's that time of day when the sunlight feels a little too harsh against my sleepy eyes, but I know it's time to get up. Eventually, I manage to sit up, let my feet touch the floor, and rub my eyes vigorously. Arms above my head, I give a good stretch and let out a big yawn, the sound echoing through the quiet apartment.

Living in my own place here in New York City is pretty sweet, especially at the ripe age of 21. No need to worry about living with my parents anymore! I've worked hard to get to this point, and though it's not the biggest apartment on the block, it's all mine.

Eternity's Apartment

My bedroom may be on the smaller side compared to my living room, but it's still cozy and fits everything I need perfectly. My bed, which is larger than I probably need, takes up a good amount of space, but I adore having it nestled in the middle of my square room. There's something comforting about the way it dominates the space-like a constant reminder that this is my sanctuary, my space to unwind. You'll often find me curled up here with a good book, basking in the natural light streaming through my window. It's one of my favorite moments of the day, especially when the sunlight hits just right.

Hidden storage above my built-in wardrobe keeps things tidy, although most of my belongings are stored under the bed. I've always been one to keep things organized, even when my life can feel a little chaotic at times. A roomy black shoebox keeps all my footwear neatly lined up, and I have a mirror hanging beautifully above a small table on my off-white walls, always giving me one last look before I head out the door. My tall white dresser is full of clothing, and my bedside table holds an alarm clock, rose-red touch lamp, and a snazzy blue Bluetooth speaker that plays my morning playlist.

As I was scrolling through social media, I couldn't help but notice how ordinary everything seemed. The usual posts, the usual drama-nothing stood out. I guess that's just life sometimes, right? However, I believe that with hard work and passion, every day holds the potential to be extraordinary. I remind myself of this often, though it's sometimes hard to remember when you're caught up in the mundane.

In the morning, I head towards the restroom to take care of business before putting on my trusty sweatshirt and shorts. Comfort over style, that's my motto. It's not like anyone's around to impress, anyway. Then, it's time for breakfast, and I make my way to the kitchen to grab something from the fridge. I'm about to settle on some toast when-

BAM!

The sound of a door slamming open interrupts my routine, and I jump in surprise. My heart leaps in my chest as the door to my apartment swings wide.

"Surprise, Eter!"

The unmistakable voice of my best friend, Olivia, rings through the room. I freeze for a second, blinking as my brain tries to catch up with the situation. Then, I can't help it-I burst into a wide grin.

"Olli, you're back!" I exclaim, unable to hide the excitement in my voice.

Olivia stands in the doorway, grinning just as widely. Her bright red hair falls in loose waves around her face, and her eyes gleam with a mischievous spark. Her signature leather jacket and combat boots are the perfect contrast to the soft floral dress she's wearing today-proof that she can still look chic while being a little rebellious.

"I wanted to surprise my hag," Olivia says with a wink, making her way over and pulling me into a tight embrace.

The hug is warm and comforting, and I can feel the weight of the distance between us melt away. Olivia's been in London on business for the past few months, and while we talk every day, there's something irreplaceable about having her right here. It's like no time has passed at all.

We pull apart, both of us grinning like idiots, and I lean against the kitchen counter, still in disbelief. "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to be in London for another couple of weeks!"

Olivia gives me a dramatic roll of her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. "Yeah, well, plans changed. I couldn't leave my bestie hanging any longer."

I can't stop the grin that stretches across my face. "You're the best, Olli," I say, wiping away an exaggerated fake tear from my cheek.

She smirks at me, clearly amused by my over-the-top reaction. "I know. Now, where's the coffee? I need caffeine to survive this jet lag."

"Of course, right to the point," I laugh, heading over to the cabinet to grab her favorite coffee mug. It's a plain white cup, but she's had it since high school, and somehow, it's never chipped or cracked. I start making the coffee, while Olivia sits at the counter, casually scrolling through her phone.

As I wait for the coffee to brew, I can't help but ask about Olivia's trip. She's been dealing with all sorts of high-stakes corporate stuff lately, and I know it hasn't been easy for her. "So, spill the tea, bitch!"

Olivia puts her phone down, an exasperated look crossing her face. "Geez Louise, that was a total migraine-inducing situation, especially with our lovely branch manager there to make it worse. But I managed to keep my cool, despite the foaming at the mouth." She makes an exaggerated face, miming a dramatic, furious tantrum.

I chuckle, shaking my head as I pour the coffee. "You're a real champ for holding it together. I'm pretty sure that guy wouldn't have survived if you unleashed your inner Hulk on him."

Olivia laughs, tapping the side of her coffee mug in agreement. "Ha, you got that right. Let's just hope he never sees the dark side of me," she says, flexing her fingers with a slightly crazed look in her eye.

I can't help but laugh. "Good call. You might have him shaking in his boots."

There's a comfortable silence for a moment as we both sip our coffee, savoring the warmth of the drink and the companionship. Then, I remember something that's been on my mind for a while. "Speaking of things that we like, have you thought about that dress we saw last time we went window shopping?"

Olivia perks up at the mention of it, her eyes sparkling. "You know, I've been thinking about it every day since we saw it. I just can't decide if I should pull the trigger and get it or if it's just one of those impulse buys."

I grin, always the enabler. "Impulse buy. Do it. You deserve it."

"Well, now that you say it like that..." Olivia trails off, a sly grin tugging at her lips. "Maybe I will. But only if you promise to come with me when I do it. I need you there to make sure I'm not doing something stupid."

I chuckle, already knowing I'll be there beside her, encouraging her every step of the way. "You know I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Olivia leans back in her chair, a satisfied smirk on her face as she sips her coffee. "Good. Now that that's settled, I need to know-how's your love life, or lack thereof?"

I groan, dramatically covering my face with my hands. "Olivia, please. Not today."

She bursts into laughter, clearly enjoying my discomfort. "I had to ask. You've been single for far too long, and I'm starting to worry. Are you sure you're not becoming a cat lady already?"

"Don't even joke about that," I mutter, my cheeks flushing.

"Okay, okay," she says, laughing harder. "I'll leave it alone... for now."

As we settle into more easy conversation, I realize how much I missed this-how much I missed her. It's like having a piece of home back.

And maybe, just maybe, life is a little more extraordinary when you have people like Olivia by your side.
