A romance women's fiction story about Sophia Thompson, a successful businesswoman who inherits a resort in Hawaii. As she navigates the challenges of running the resort, she finds herself drawn to the charming owner, Henry Lee.
Sophia Thompson stared out the window of her high-rise office building, her mind a million miles away from the spreadsheets and financial reports that littered her desk. It had been three months since her grandmother's passing, and Sophia was still struggling to come to terms with the loss. Her phone rang, breaking the silence. Sophia hesitated for a moment before answering, hoping that it wasn't another call from the corporate office. "Sophia Thompson," she said, trying to sound more confident than she felt. "Sophia, it's Rachel from the law firm.
I hope I'm not interrupting anything important." Sophia's heart skipped a beat as she wondered what the call could be about. "No, it's fine. What's up?" "I'm calling to inform you that you've inherited a property from a distant relative. A resort in Hawaii, to be specific." Sophia's eyes widened in surprise. "A resort in Hawaii?" "That's right. The resort is called Love Paradise, and it's located on the island of Kauai." Sophia's mind was racing as she tried to process the news. She had never heard of Love Paradise, and she couldn't imagine why she would inherit a resort from someone she didn't even know. "What's the story behind the resort?" Sophia asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. "From what I understand, Love Paradise was built by your great-aunt, Lucy. She was a bit of a free spirit, and she wanted to create a place where people could come to escape the stresses of everyday life." Sophia's eyes misted as she thought about her great-aunt, whom she had never met. She felt a sense of connection to this woman, who had built a resort that seemed to embody the very spirit of aloha. "I'd like to learn more about the resort," Sophia said, her voice filled with determination. "Of course, Sophia. I'll send you everything we have. In the meantime, I recommend that you start making arrangements to visit the resort. You'll need to decide what to do with it, and it's always better to see things in person." Sophia nodded, even though Rachel couldn't see her. She felt a sense of excitement and trepidation as she contemplated the journey ahead. "Thank you, Rachel," Sophia said, her voice filled with gratitude. "You're welcome, Sophia. Good luck with everything." As Sophia hung up the phone, she felt a sense of wonder and excitement. She had no idea what the future held, but she was ready to take on the challenge.
