He leaned into me so our lips were inches apart, I stared wide eyed, unable to move my body but I leaned my head back creating a little bit of space between us. A smirk graced his lips as his eyes twinkled with unbridled mischief. "You'll definitely make for a good wife. Lucky me". He said and purposely leaned into me so much so his lips nearly grazed mine, I squeaked and shut my eyes in surprise but his forehead only pressed on mine. I opened my eyes slowly to meet his and I realized he was holding up a diamond studded ring. I looked back at him only to see him watching my reaction closely. "What is that for?", I hoped he didn't detect how shaky my voice had become because of our close proximity. "This is your engagement ring, my dear fiancée", he said and took a step back, burying one of his hands in his pocket and tilting his head. I just stared wide eyed at the ring in his right hand, it was all too real. "What?, You didn't expect me to kneel, now did you", he chuckled at his own words and took my hand, sliding the ring on it. •••• Trapped in a marriage of convenience by her father, Sifon must fight tooth and nail to come out unscathed but she'd damned before she lets him have the last laugh.

Two years of working a job she was overqualified for. Ezra had finally had enough! She wanted more for herself and her future. Seeing her boss's girlfriend get the position she had worked so hard for motivated her to leave and finally stand up for herself. However, what she didn't realize was Luca never wanted her to leave his side and would do anything to keep her closer to him! Even if that meant sabotaging her promotion. This wasn't the love story Ezra wanted, and this was not how she envisioned career path. She was a caged bird that desired freedom, and he was a man who had always loved her so much so that he was willing to destroy any opportunity that came her way. PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU STARTING READING: This is a dark romance and it's not a light hearted romance story. Meaning the way they fall in love isn't normal and is purely fictional. There are really heavy dark themes written throughout the entire book, if your someone who is easily triggered, please do not continue with reading. Thanks,
