Beautiful Disaster
Cameron and Ella are opposite in every way possible; she from the Middle East and he
American, poor and wealthy, a mute and a businessman. But somehow, as all love stories
proceed, their worlds soon become entangled, and before either can take control, their
relationship spins out of control. But Ysabella has secrets of her own, and she's not sure
Cameron is ready to embrace them.

Cameron is the son of Isaac and Emma Ford and brother to four other siblings that comprise of the Ford name. Born from a family of politicians, to fashion designers, and television personalities, Cameron was taught to withhold the family name by attending the best private schools across the country followed by a degree in business from the highly prestigious school of Columbia. Now he is the executive manager of his father's business, Ford LLC, a highly-praised law firm spanning in 195 countries around the world. Still, contrary to popular belief, Cameron is unlike most stuck-up rich kids with opportunities practically thrown in his lap - his father made him work for the family title before it officially became his the year he graduated college. He is currently dating Miranda Churchill, a heiress to her families' multi-million dollar trust fund, the daughter of famous modeling firm company founder Gillian Churchill and internationally renowned film producer Everett Sykes. They had been childhood friends ever since they could walk, and their relationship was something highly anticipated by both families. After all, there was a certain reputation to obtain, and the joining of two prestigious families was exactly what the media craved. Even though a marriage isn't exactly what Cameron strives for at the moment, his parents prod him about it incessantly, hell-bent on setting up dates. Other than that, he is your average humbled guy that hates to be thought of as the 'rich kid' and enjoys hanging out with friends at the local bar whenever time allows.

Ysabella was born to to a Yemeni mother and father; severely premature at birth, her presence was hidden from the world. Her mother feared that the war raging beyond their door would swallow her daughter whole, and thus Ysebella never experienced much of the world. Her more prominent childhood memories are of the bombs blowing nearby, and her mother screaming as her father beat her.
Ysabella was only five when her father shot her mother in the chest, and the image of the pool of blood still haunts the grown woman to this day; since that day, she has not spoken. His only reason was that he suspected the blue-eyed girl of belonging to another father.
Ysabella's father, Tarun, carted his young daughter around the Middle East, smuggling her through wars and barricades between nations. Knowing that her muteness often frustrated the man, she often wonders why he hadn't just taken her life as he had her mother's. But instead, he smuggled her about, often escaping to northern nations as refugees. His treatment of her was awful, however, and the mute girl had little defence against the three-hundred pound man. He humiliated her in public, forced her to wear a hajib, and used her as a toy rather than his own daughter.
When Ysabella was eighteen, she escaped into the Iraqi night; and since then, she has never seen or spoken to her father. After six months she was able to access a ticket to America, a refugee from a war-stricken country. And despite the loss of her old lifestyle, Ysabella keeps most of its aspects in tact; she still refuses to speak, and always wears a hijab.
Four years has passed since Ysabella (who is more commonly known as Ella in America) escaped her world and her father, but her fears and roots remain strong. Through a series of thoughtful people she managed to acquire a job as a maid and a home, and she takes each day one step at a time. She lives every day in fear that her father will discover her, and kill her like he did her mother.
