"Go home Bloom and don't return to this place." "You don't own this place and you don't have the right to tell me where to go and where not to!" She shouted. She was annoyed at how mean he was toward her. "Get this straight Bloom, someone like you doesn't belong here, don't try coming here if you love your life. If the people here find out who you really are, you will be dead in a blink of an eye." "Why?" She asked. "Just stay away, don't ever come back. You have everything you need already." "You know nothing about me, you think I have everything?!" She yelled. "I don't care, go." He said emotionlessly and turned to leave. *** Bloom was the hidden daughter of the President who was kept in the White House and hidden from the outside world. Homeschooled and given everything she wanted, she never bothered about what life outside the walls of the White House would feel like. To her, her life was perfect and it was the safest place she could be. After her best friend persuaded her to sneak out of the White House for a glimpse of real life, the consequences were greater than she expected. She met someone mysterious, someone, who knew her more than herself. Someone who knew things about her she couldn't remember. She didn't know him but he knew her like the back of her palm. What happened to his sunflower? No one knew or maybe someone did.

Adrian x Belvina book. Adrian Parker has always been the rock-steady, reliable, the friend who would drop everything to help others, even when his own world was crumbling. Beneath the smiles and jokes, however, lies a man haunted by the weight of past betrayals. The impostors, the cheaters, the liars-Adrian has seen it all, and each heartbreak has left a scar deep enough to make him believe that love was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. Now, he wears a mask, and behind it, he's built walls so thick no one can penetrate. No room for love. No space for pain. Or so he thought. Then came Belvina Gallardo. Belvina has lived by one rule: trust no one. After being burned by betrayal, she swore off letting anyone get close enough to hurt her again. Her heart? Locked up tight, guarded by walls only her closest friends and family have managed to breach. But Adrian Parker is different. He's persistent. Relentless. And, somehow, she feels something stirring inside her-a dangerous temptation to let him in. Both Adrian and Belvina have been broken, their trust shattered by the ones they loved. In a world where casual hookups and burying yourself in work is easier than risking another heartache, neither of them expects anything to change. They've both sworn off love for good. But sometimes, the heart doesn't listen to reason. And the one person you swear you'll never let in may just be the one who can heal you. When trust is shattered, can two broken souls learn to love again? Or will they simply break each other in the process?
