A woman reminds me of one popular internet quote: “As we grow old we realize it becomes less important to have more friends and more important to have real friends.” So, if you are old enough, you must be well aware of the importance of real people in life. Aren’t there a very few people whom we can actually rely on?

And we all know that feeling when the people we love the most break our trust. Such past experiences become the reason why most of the people struggling with trust issues. Something similar happened with a Florida resident, Cheryl Treadway whose situation became critical enough that her, as well as her three kids’ lives, were at risk. What made it worse was the fact that all of this was coming from a person whom Cheryl loved the most.

All that we can tell you right now is that Cheryl’s story is one that goes far beyond ones’ imagination.

Cheryl TreadwayWoman Was Held Hostage, Then Came Up With an Idea How to Escape

A hardworking and creative woman named Cheryl Treadway was so caught up in her work affairs that she rarely got a chance to live a life of her own. She was young, enthusiastic, and career-oriented. A woman who did anything and everything either with complete dedication or not at all. She had a passion for reaching her desired goals in life. But one unplanned date changed everything for her. 

The Lost Woman

Every person that walks in our life either leaves with lessons or memories. Cheryl Treadway, a resident of Highlands County, Florida was living an ordinary life until one day, the arrival of one guy changed everything for her. This guy’s presence was about to change everything about Cheryl, be it her priorities or be it her perception of the world. Her ordinary life transformed into an extraordinarily romantic one.

Ethan Nickerson

Ethan Nickerson was the name of a sincere man who once coincidently met Cheryl. He seemed like a smart guy who too believed in working hard and keeping people around him, happy. He was a man of his words and with good looks. Isn’t that what most of the girls expect from their perfect life partner? Well, Cheryl was going to get all that she needed when she wasn’t even looking for it.

An unplanned meeting of these two strangers was all that was needed to bring them together.

Just An Eye Contact

The day when Cheryl and Ethan met for the first time, it felt like taken straight out of the movie, “The Vow”. Guess what? It was the same kind of feel that Channing Tatum’s character felt for Rachel McAdams. They both just knew there was something more to their little interaction. Despite their strong first interaction, they didn’t even get to know each other’s name but can that stop two people from reuniting?

Love At First Sight

Both of them were grabbing a cup of coffee before starting their hectic day. In the first look, Ethan felt like love at first sight for the girl who was so lost in her work that they didn’t even exchange names. What were the odds that Cheryl left her wallet at the front table and Ethan knew this could be the only chance to get to know this girl. He was a believer of signs and he knew that it was a clear sign.

Contacting Her

Ethan got to know her name from the driving license inside her wallet. Guess what? The man reached her doorstep to hand over her wallet the same evening. Cheryl was taken by surprise to see a stranger taking out time to return her wallet. From there started a story of love and togetherness, fun and family, that would soon end at suffering and fear, separation and punishment.
