Cherishing Her During Adversity: A Friends to Lovers Romance

Read Cherishing Her During Adversity: A Friends to Lovers Romance Storyline:

'Follow your heart,' is the cheesiest piece of advice your mother can give you. But in my case, it was exactly what I needed to hear.  I was a young man when I inherited a multi-billion-dollar corporation from my parents. They had died in a horrible accident and I was left to tend to their real estate business. That's all well and good if the real estate had been something other than shopping centers. Because as soon as e-commerce came around, things went downhill. And all those people I thought were my friends while I was rich and famous disappeared in a flash. Leaving me with nothing. Or so I thought. Through thick and thin, I had Lola, my best friend. From childhood, we were attached at the hip. But no man wants to stay in that dreaded friend-zone so it was time for me to 'follow my heart.' I just hope it doesn't ruin the friendship I value so dearly because to lose Lola would be truly to lose everything. Maybe it was time for me to truly be attached to the hip with this girl — if you know what I mean — wink wink, nudge nudge.
