Abstract

Fighting the archaic world she came from, Lizzy was running away from a pre-determined destiny set-up by her parents. On the run when she met a man to whom she was attracted, she did not know whether to give in to the temptation or return to her previous life and behave as was expected out of her. After all he did seem like 'a dream come true'.

Andy was a maverick at heart. He loved his family immensely, but their love suffocated him and he always looked for reasons to be away from them. No ties, no commitments - that's the way he liked his life, his relationships. Until he met Lizzy. She made him see dreams he never thought he would. She made his life finally resemble 'a dream come true'.


But will Lizzy and Andy follow their hearts' true desire? Or will they acquiesce to what their family decrees their destiny to be? Will they trust each other enough to share their secrets? Will they achieve in life what most just dream of - a life which is 'a dream come true'. 

Storyline

Lizzy saw him for the first time in a bar on the other side – one of the bartenders. He exuded raw male sexuality. Too attracted to him. But she never acted on her impulses. She was not raised that way. She was rather shy. In fact she rarely frequented bars or went clubbing. And even though for a moment she imagined what it would be like to throw caution to the wind, she decided to turn her face away. But not before he looked straight at her. He was as attracted to her and he recognized that she was attracted to him as well. Once he looked at her, she could not withdraw her eyes from him. She was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. She went up to his side of the bar and ordered a drink. He smiled a little deviously and made her drink. Distracted by another bartender. She gulped down her drink. He turned to see. Raised an eyebrow at her. She shrugged. He placed another in front of her. She drank this one too in one gulp. She was never a heavy drinker. A glass of wine generally would what she had. These two drinks loosened up her senses and made her do what she wouldn’t have found the courage to do in case she was not drunk. She flirted with him throughout the night. He was amused, but he flirted right back. When number of patrons started to dwindle he took her out of there and upstairs to his pad. They had a steamy night of passion. Next morning she left.

Papers declared her to be the fiancé of the heir of Sanders empire – Andrew Sanders. That made her grumpy. A bell rang. She went to open the door. No servants as she was on holiday and had taken up this bungalow by herself. He was standing out. Angry. She tried to say something. He shoved the paper in her face. Why did you lie to me?

I did not. If nothing else, I was truthful to you.

Tired. Defeated. It bothered him. She went inside and he followed. It was an arranged marriage. She had to go through it. She had not met her so-called ‘fiancé’ yet. Last evening, she came to know about her marriage. She felt that last night was her last chance to live her own life. She didn’t regret it but was sorry if she hurt him. He was quiet. Then he gave in. She was here for few more days before she had to go back to her real life and do what the family wanted. He offered a respite. They had a steamy affair.

At the end she is in love with him and heartbroken at the same time coz she cannot be with him. But she cannot go ahead with her marriage too. She goes to break it off. Finds he is Andrew. Angry. He pacifies. All well.
