Velvet Eyes

Did you ever need someone so much that you forgot to live in the present and could only dream about the future? Antonio Gonzalez, a Mexican superstar, was indeed Andrea's future. At nineteen years old and alone in the world, Andrea lived and dreamed of her idol, never fearing that he was too far or that she may never reach him-because she did. When the last member of her family died, Andrea left her home country to conquer the man she believed would love her enough to give her a new home. Andrea didn't know what lay ahead of her or what she was leaving behind-like Radu. He watched her driving away, leaving him to his demons, depraving him of tomorrow. At nineteen years old, forced to live in a monastery and become a monk, Radu allowed his inner demons and his flesh to take control once more. Why should he repent for hating enough to kill when no one cared enough to give him even a little hope to dream? Why did no one's heart beat with love for him? Would they love him, those who were so blind with pride and fear of what they knew but didn't want to hear? He made sure, too, that it wasn't about when and where they met him, as long as they remembered him.
