Paradox Love: Paradox Love Book 1 - Plot & Excerpts
She had been born as a single flame, her combustion so powerful that it had propelled her well beyond the birth journey of any soul on Castellans. She knew it was a blessing and a curse. She was an overachiever. She expected a lot from herself. She knew that her life experiences of late had been exercises to work on her weakness. And that weakness was an expectation that everyone else should work as hard as she did. During her last time on Earth, she had become a mother with just that conviction. She was driven and she wanted her children to be equally driven. She’d been too critical, too persistent in her wishes that her daughter push herself to the breaking point for the sake of this or that achievement. In the end, it had cost her dearly. Unable to sustain the constant stream of her mother’s criticism, Abigail’s daughter eventually withdrew from her, until by the time of Abigail’s death, the two were not even speaking. She knew that she would continue to be presented with situations that would help her to let go of her consuming need to drive others to achieve. It was clear that her friendship with Gabriel was also in part designed to address this weakness. He was easily as accomplished as herself. And yet, he had no difficulty whatsoever in forfeiting the benefits of his achievements. In fact, he seemed to delight in thwarting advancement in exchange for the simple pleasure of seeing to Grace’s happiness. For ages, it had irked and befuddled Abigail. His indifference to his own growth was the epitome of foolishness. There were times when her frustration had her feeling that she needed to save Gabe from himself. There were times that she simply felt that she knew better than he what was good for him. And this latest situation was a prime example. Once again, she was playing that role, protecting him from his own foolhardy decisions.
