He was the man I once fought for. I watched him in the crowd, his tall figure looming over the others. He still looked the same from the day he left me, his hair was different, it was a shade darker from before and it appeared to be tousled and messy, his sharp jaw was neat with no stuble left, and his dark eyes still held the same sharp and cold gaze. But as his eyes met mine, I was overwhelmed by the memories I once forgot, they were all coming back to me like a tide on the waves, my heart pounding with each memory. And as I blinked, trying not to believe that I had seen him, he was suddenly infront of me, a warm smile on his face. His lips parted, and I became nervous. His words were never the truth, they were lies drowned in feeble vows, ones that would never come true. He was the one who left me, left my heart to bleed for him. I had suffered for the past two years, and I wasn't going to let him into a second chance with me. I would not let myself to be stupid once again. And with my eyes locked on his, I raised my hand high, and slapped him hard on the face. It had been two years. After having an affair, a one night stand, and being left by the man she loved, Abby had told herself to forget the man who broke his promise, the man who promised he would come back. She had moved on, had a stable job, and a perfect relationship. But she soon finds herself in the midst of a crowd, standing infront of him, with her boyfriend beside her. The stakes were higher this time, and the world would be watching their every move. He had come back for her, and he wasn't going to stop until she wants him back. -Book two of The Billionaire Series-

Keira Delaney never thought she would find someone she liked enough to go on a date with. She never thought she'd find someone she could tolerate enough to move in with.

But then again, until she was seventeen, she had never met Logan Leahy, who she wanted to date, to live with, to spend seven years with. Logan Leahy is the love of her life and that, quite frankly, scares the girl who, for years, was known to be heartless. It scares her that she might wake up one day to find him gone. It scares her to think that Logan might fall out of love with her some day. It scares her to her very core that he doesn't want her the same way she needs him. But what she doesn't know is that, since he was seventeen, he's truly, madly, deeply been in love with Keira Delaney. And all because of that bloody red dress.

Justin Antonio Martínez, a wealthy and powerful businessman, the owner of the Martínez Fashion Industry. His arrogance and unrelenting ambition was well known to the prying eyes of the media. As Justin searches for the perfect woman to hire as his wife, he meets Isabella, a woman who unexpectedly challenges the emptiness of his carefully controlled life. ✦✦✦✦ "You're relentless, wife." I muttered, running a hand over my face. "And who's a good boy?" She teased, tilting her head at me like she was addressing a misbehaving puppy. I smirked but kept my mouth shut. Silence seemed like the best defense when she was like this-mocking, playful and completely unrelenting. Her smirk only grew at my refusal to engage. She leaned in closer, her voice softening to a coo. "Is the good boy angry?" That was it. Restraint? Gone. Before I knew it, my hand was at the back of her neck, pulling her closer. Her eyes widened as her breath caught, her face mere inches from mine. "Justin." She whispered, barely audible, her hand gripping mine like she wasn't sure if she wanted to push me away or pull me closer. "Yes, wife?" I asked, my gaze flicking between her wide eyes and her parted lips. "Justin." She said again, pouting this time, her cheeks turning a shade of red that I couldn't ignore. "Hmm?" I couldn't help myself. I leaned in, pressing a quick, firm kiss to her soft lips. The way her eyes widened and her blush deepened-it was priceless. She froze for a moment, like she couldn't believe what just happened. I released her neck but kept hold of her hand, guiding it downward. "I've got your good boy right here." I teased, my voice low as I placed her hand over the hard bulge in my sweatpants. She looked so flustered, so completely off her game. And damn it, she was tempting. Too tempting.
