Chapter 1: An unexpected meeting

Chance is a word void of sense; nothing can exist without a cause 
One rainy day of November Liz was walking down the streets of London. This was something she liked to do everyday, walk alone and observe the falling tree leaves. 
She was deeply buried in her thoughts when all of a sudden a strange man appeared in the corner and started to run toward her. 
Before she could realise what was going on the man approached her and got under her umbrella.
"I need your help." said the unknown but very attractive man. He was well-dressed and seemed to be about 30. He was wearing black shades and hat, as if he tried to hide from someone. She also noticed that he had a weird necklace, something like a triangle with a horizontal line.
"Excuse me, do I know you?" Liz asked surprised. His face seemed familiar to her.
"No time for that" he said and then gently put his arm around her waist. 
"What do you think you're doing?! What the-" screamed Liz and tried to push him away.
"Don't be afraid. Walk with me." he whispered. Looking at her terrified face, he took off his glasses and pulled her even closer.  
Liz was speechlless staring at his dazzling blue eyes. 
Before she had the time to react, about a dozen of people holding cameras appeared. They were in a rush and seemed to be looking for someone. 
The man lowered the umbrella and kept walking with her. He realised that the people with the cameras were suspiciously looking towards them.
"Kiss me" he said. 
 
His gorgeous eyes were hypnotizing  and his lips magnetizing her. The unknown man with the angelic look seemed very appealing.  
She didn't resist as he leaned his head forward, slowly touched her lips and then kissed her passionately. Like waking up from a dream, Liz felt dizzy, her vision was blurred such as her judgement. 

The others had gone. The two strangers were alone in an empty alley. 
"Thank you my lady. Au revoir!" said the man and hurried to leave the same way he had come. "But...wait! I don't even know your name!" yelled Liz desperately.                                           "You don't need to. One day maybe we'll meet again, if this is the will of fate." said the mysterious man and disappeared in the dark. 
Liz stayed there for a couple of minutes gazing toward the way he had gone.For the first time in her life she has experienced something unique. Some may call it 'love at first sight' but she prefered to believe that she had just met her soulmate, or was reunited with her husband from her previous life. She couldn't explain how intense the feeling was. 
After all the excitement, she was overwhelmed with sorrow as soon as she realised that there was no way of seeing him again.

But no one really knows what the future holds...
