The Long Way by Alice Tribue

Life lesson number one… If you find the love of your life, fight for him.

Life lesson number two… If you’re dumb enough to let the love of your life go, don’t let years pass without trying to get him back.

Life lesson number three… If he does come back, don’t help him take over your father’s multi-million-dollar company…even if your father had it coming.

I fell in love, had it all, and lost it all in the blink of an eye. I was young, naïve, and not in control of my own life. I was resigned to the fact that I would never see Sam again. So when I attended a meeting with the unknown buyer initiating a hostile takeover of my father’s company, I was stunned and horrified to come face to face with Sam. Only this wasn’t the Sam that I remembered. Gone was the sweet, romantic, kind boy I loved, and in his place was a cold, ruthless, and calculating man. Maybe I was right. Maybe I would never see my Sam again… or would I?
