Angelia, I See You

di Michal Rhodes (Autore)

Michal Rhodes, 2025

At seventeen Angelia is a ballet dancer and is hopelessly in love with her dance partner, Jordan. With him, a dream for many becomes her reality—acceptance into Julliard. The hope of them being professional dancers mainly lives in Jordan's imagination. Angelia wants to use her mind for intellectual pursuits, such as designing video games like her father. Jordan and her love affair ends in a tragic decision that Angelia doesn't know if she will ever recover from.Angelia is a fantasy—a seductress, a temptress captivating the eyes of all men who see her.Angelia falls in love with three very different men, who see her—her essence and beautiful inner being. They see not just what she shows to the external world that elicits desire but her intelligence, gentility, kindness, wit, and poise. Their attraction to her transcends physical cravings. To Michael—a world famous movie star, Angelia is a firefly. She is a bright flash, but in an instant gone. He wants her to be his entirely and is jealous that he must share the fantasy of her with other men. The tenderness he truly wants to show her is hidden within layers of control. One night his control and anger escalate. The next morning, she is gone, and he doesn't know why. She runs away, leaving beside him as he sleeps a tabloid cover of her with another man. To Jon—an Academy Award winning director, Angelia is a flood light. Whenever she is with him, her light draws him in. He loves her intelligence and wit—her ability to create. He loves the way he feels when he is with her or just beholds her. She is his fantasy that becomes reality. However, Jon fears vulnerability. Though he wants to worship her through the bonds of marriage, he is too afraid to ask. They share playfulness, flirtation, and a true love that lingers even after they part. To Jeff—a UCLA English Professor and an unsuccessful writer, Angelia is his field of roses. At first glance when she steps into his classroom, he sees her overpowering physical beauty and at once feels enrapture of passion, but a whispered warning of intuition tells him she is a broken angel to be mended. All he has of her are office hour visits filled with lengthy conversations. Professional honesty prevents him from telling her the depth of his feelings. When Angelia falls in love with a movie star he watches her life unfold in tabloids. Then when her face is no longer on the front of tabloid covers, Jeff wants to find her to tell her how he feels, but he does not know where she is. He feels compelled to write her a novel, hoping that if she reads it, she will know how much he loves and honors her. He longs to show her that her internal worth far surpasses her captivating physical being. He loves and sees her—just as she is, broken but beautiful. Angelia's life twists and turns. She loves and loses and loves again. She becomes an Academy Award winning screenwriter. The most valuable lesson Angelia learns is that she is whole on her own, a singular person who is defined not by the love of a man but from the love dwelling within her.
