After five years away from America, Alison was invited back as a screenwriter for Evokx Future Group to promote the upcoming drama 'Dear, How Are You?'—a collaboration with Luminary Lights Agency.
Alison removed her sunglasses and looked at the blue sky, a smile forming on her lips.
She had never imagined she would return to America one day.
Now a famous screenwriter in Rome, her scripts had all been turned into hugely popular dramas. Luminary Lights Agency's leader, Kaiden, had been eager to collaborate on her novel.
Evokx Future Group is a powerful family conglomerate in Rome, a company that commands the business world with its influence and prowess.
Evokx Future Group's vast business realm stretches across the continents of Europe and Asia, yet the American market remains a cornerstone of their strategy. A considerable portion of their formidable investments flows into the United States, guided not solely by fiscal pragmatism, but swayed too by the tides of Jasper's lover.
Five years ago, Alison met Lane while paying respects at her mother's grave.
Livia and Alison were the first set of twin daughters born to their mother. But bliss soon soured when their mother discovered their father's betrayal, leading to a painful divorce. The court awarded custody to their father. Tragically, six years ago, Livia died in a car accident.
Alison had never met her mother. It wasn't until her father was on his deathbed that he revealed her mother's place. However, the old address was long obsolete, and after much searching, she found out that her mother had remarried a Roman man and passed away. Later, she discovered that her mother had married a man from Rome the year after the divorce. The man Alison met at the columbarium turned out to be Lane, the son her mother had with her second husband, Roman expatriate Jasper. Thus, Alison and Lane are half-siblings.
Five years ago, Alison faced a life-threatening incident when someone tried to kill her. At that critical moment, Lane whisked her away in his car, altering the course of her life forever.
Her half-brother, Lane, immediately took her to Rome. During these five years, Alison was always puzzled about who wanted her dead. She had never had any grudges with anyone.
Could it be because of Xavier? That seemed even less likely. She and Xavier were just colleagues with a simple working relationship.
The only connection was her unrequited love and that night of passionate intimacy!
