Tales of the Heart

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” – Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice. She was a princess, born with a silver spoon in her mouth and a crown on her head. She had everything she ever wanted, except for one thing: freedom. She longed to escape the palace walls and the expectations of her royal family. She dreamed of living a normal life, going to school, making friends, and falling in love. He was a normal young boy who had a love of creativity and a knack for fiction writing from birth. He had nothing he ever needed, except for one thing: hope. He dreamed of becoming a famous author, reading his work in front of a big crowd, making fans, and falling in love. They ran into each other by chance inside the spacious library of their university. She was there to study for her Biology exam. He was there to do research on a new genre he planned to write his new novel in. They shared a lamplight, a smile, and a spark. They didn't know each other's names, backgrounds, or secrets. They only knew they felt something they never felt before. They were from different worlds, but they had one thing in common: love. They were willing to risk everything for it, even their own lives. They were the star-crossed lovers of the modern age, and this is their story.
