Yn had always been a girl with a complicated past and a complicated relationship with religion. Perhaps that's what made her leave her small hometown at eighteen. Her father was a man deeply devoted to religion, and while it could sometimes be beautiful, it could also be devastating. For as long as she could remember, she had always known her mother to be ill. Her only treatment for her illness was her father's prayers. And at first, she believed them because her mother lived twelve more years, but never left her bed, her complexion pale. Even at fourteen, she finally understood that it wasn't the prayers or God, but the fact that her mother had fought against it. But what could a poor twelve-year-old girl say to her father? So she swore before God that she would leave her father when she came of age.
Dating has never been her strong suit. Studying, working, sleeping are surely her favorite words, reflecting her daily life, so having someone? Nope. Drinking isn't her thing either, but tonight she accepts, unaware that she'll meet her father's best friend (whom she's never seen before and without knowing it was him) and end up hook up with him, not knowing that she'll be seeing him again the next day at her father's birthday party
On the night of your Broadway debut, you least expected a pair of blue eyes to be watching you from the balcony. Your relationship with the grumpy Barnes is a dangerous and endless line. The MP is certainly not your beloved. He is your nothing... Just skin intertwined with yours, soft lips caressing your body. A soul that sometimes fills the loneliness of your gnawed soul. Your meeting was a mutual agreement, a friend wanting to play Cupid for one night, a chance encounter, two drinks at a bar, and a drop of dignity—that's all it took to end up entangled in the same sheets. In the morning, you swore to yourself that it was just a one-night stand. But it's like an avalanche; once it starts, it's difficult to stop it completely. After almost a year and a growth spurt in both your careers, the hotels have been exchanges for private places.
Starting a business is one thing... keeping it going is another. Bucky had succeeded without a hitch. Known for being an entrepreneur who remained steadfast in his silence. He had a reputation for being tough on his employees. He had never been afraid of anyone, never. Until you.
Living life isn't easy. Even less so with a student loan, rent, groceries, and only a student job. Being in New York is already a luxury, but living there? Much more so.
Visiting Greece was perhaps one of your biggest travel dreams, especially the city of Athens. Discovering a new culture, a new language, and new landscapes. You hesitated for a long time about making this trip alone, but the thought of going to a new country with a language you didn't know, despite your burning desire to go, never quite gave you the courage to take the plunge, or else the fear of being disappointed.
Bucky always knew he would become an important man. Ever since playing soccer with Steve in the streets of Brooklyn, he dreamed of wealth. He studied law and finance, graduating at the top of his class. After graduation, he founded his own company with Steve and Sam, a friend he met during his studies. A few years later, Barnes & Industrial was at its peak, thriving. But Bucky Barnes wasn't known for his gentleness, and he had a reputation for being tough on his employees. This is what explains the success of his company: he makes no concessions and shows no affection. He lives by merit and inheritance. He never calls anyone by their first name, except for Sam and Steve. In addition to owning one of the largest financial companies in the United States, he collaborates with Stark Industrial, another thriving business. Bucky had always had business on his mind, not love... so when he fell in love with his new secretary, it came as a shock to many. And after many months of their relationship, his secretary, now Mrs. Barnes... is you. For three years now. You decided to remain his secretary, partly because it was your field, but mainly to be as close as possible to his world. During the last three years of your marriage to Bucky, you had many separations, but you always ended up back together, and without ever divorcing.
She met him when she became his secretary. She never thought she'd be doing this job, but she lacked money and work. She met James Buchanan Barnes when she became his secretary. The famous Congressman, a former military man. At first, he was simple, only speaking to her about appointments or files, but that quickly changed. Meetings became dinners out, asking for a file became flowers, and he quickly declared his feelings for her. After a year of dating, marriage followed. But unfortunately, the first few years weren't as wonderful and pleasant as promised. They argued often, very often, and usually over nothing. What saved their marriage for so many years was surely their son, Steven, born during their third year of marriage. After that, the arguments continued, but were less violent. And they remained married for six years... until the threat of divorce became official, put on paper. A decision made together. After that, Bucky moved to another apartment in In New York, custody of Steven, now four years old, was shared equally, one week with Bucky including weekends, the other week with his mother. She found another job as a secretary for a political representative and they remained on good terms for their son's sake.
