In this fictional story, Lena Portabella regales a series of events in her life as she grows from an innocent young 16 year old girl to a resentful hard driven divorce attorney. Her story began when she first met the charming, handsome, and athletic Maze Alfred on a winter vacation in the little town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. After a ski accident, Lena is left at the hands of Maze, who is also a medical student and the heir of a massive fortune. Despite their age difference, Maze falls in love with Lena. He thinks that she is the most beautiful girl that he had ever met. Lena was completely taken aback by his grace, his charm, and his chivalry from the start. Their physical relationship continues to grow until Lena soon discovers that Maze is controlling and demanding of his own sexual gratification. She becomes clueless to the fact that he has an expensive drug addiction that eventually leads their relationship down a rocky road of mistrust and abuse. In reality, Lena always forgave, but never forgot. Lena's decision to finish law school in another state created more problems with her controlling boyfriend. Instead of being the faithful young man that Maze promised to be, he took her absence as an opportunity to escape the relationship with his own hidden agenda. When Lena finds out, the hard way, it rips her world apart. Lena carried the secret of his controlling ways and abuse ways with her to escape and never look back. Yet, the beautiful young college sophomore had a secret beyond what Maze was aware. She only hoped that time would erase the memories and the love that she had for Maze until she, once again, comes face to face with her past... Will she let go of the past and forgive him? Has time really changed him? Only Time can tell...
