Ice and Fire: When a Nemesis Loves

Synopsis~ Ice and Fire: When a Nemesis Loves

Grace was a normal African teenager.

The day she was born, it was said that the night was extremely cold that even forecasters predicted it would hail that night - in a country where snow wasn't even a possibility, to talk more of hail. It was even said that there was a cross shooting of stars overhead in the sky. It was also memorable and usually associated to her since she was the only baby born that day in the village hospital.

On her hair was a head full of white that eventually turned black from the root as she grew older but the tip was always white even as she tried to trim it. So soon, she let it be since there was no harm done and a medical report could always be used to cover the situation, despite the fact that there was never a logical, moreso, medical explanation for that.

Her skin was beautiful ebony that was an envy of all the dark skinned girls she knew and her eyes were like onyx that was spotted with gold in the middle. In short, she was as beautiful as an African goddess but she was never haughty about it, or rather, she was too busy to take notice about it.

In a typical West-African home where excellence was key and discipline ruled for judgement, Grace didn't have the time or strength to think of anything other than pleasing her hard to please parents and elder siblings but one incident was enough to render her entire efforts useless.

After the incident that stole her joy and happiness, Grace was deemed a monster and was ostracized by society. It was at the heat of the moment that _'they'_ came and _took_ her away to change her life from upside down to an entirely different page.

As Grace serves her new _family_, she encounters him for the first time. With flames hot enough to burn even her who was now the personification of ice, Grace encounters a new experience that would leave her hot, burning and panting for more – more burns, more fights, more misunderstandings and more flames. His flames.

Will Grace get what she wants after her rough game with fate or will she get more than she bargain for? Good or bad?
