Hindi ko alam kung anong pinasok ko. Basta ang alam ko, sinundan ko ang best friend ko kung saan man sya dinala ng mga lalaking naka-tuxedo. Basta ang alam ko, kailangan nyang pumasok sa Legerdemain Academy, isang prestihiyosong paaralan kung saan nag-aaral daw mga piling mag-aaral. Ayon sa bali-balita, misteryoso daw ang school na iyon. Bukod sa sobrang laki, kakaiba rin ang pamamalakad ng school at pati mga estudyante, kakaiba. Pero wala akong paki-alam. Papasok ako dito at....bahala na. "You don't choose the Academy.

She's the one that got away. He's the one she can never forget. "You will always want me, Kristina. You want me as much as I want you. Deny it as much as you want but you will never fool anyone. You can't even convince yourself no matter how desperate you are to believe your own lies," he said smiling derisively. The ugly truth hurt Kristina Ivanov like a motherfucker. After everything that happened to them in the past, she was still undeniably attracted to her ex-fiancé, André Decena. Maybe not romantically anymore, but sexually, yes. She was very, very sexually drawn to him. However, that doesn't change the fact that he's the last person she would ever want to be with for he was the man she hates from the hell and back. "Oh, I want you," she purred. "Just not in the way you think I do. I want you dead!" A lie but she spat the words with pure contempt while she was seriously mulling over commiting murder. Ten years ago they would have been married. But due to unpleasant circumstances they never got to that point. And now he wants her back. He would do everything in his power to make her his again. Even if that meant using violence to press her on bad corners that would leave her no other option but to sell herself to him...

In order to have power, there must also be the powerless. Without them, there is only delusion. He was used to power, dominance -- never having anyone dare question his decisions. But so too, was she. "His entire personality is a mystery to me. He lives and breathes for his work; his body is merely a vessel he uses to get around. I've yet to see him smile, or even become enraged. I've never laid eyes on someone so intriguing, yet so utterly empty." ---------------- When power meets power. She was everything he despised. Disobedient, strong minded, impulsive. But most of all -- powerful. "I don't doubt for a second that his power, entrancing demeanour and skin deep charm was enough to have women falling at his ruthless feet. The difference with me, is that I have more than enough power of my own. I don't need him at all. And there's nothing a powerful man hates more, than to be powerless. He simply isn't used to powerful women -- if only he knew how much 𝙛𝙪𝙣 we can be." After a grave mistake in a business deal gone wrong, two of the most powerful Mafia families in New York collide in a desperate attempt to deceive, and bury their mistakes. When the only option to save face is down to Sierra & Lucian, chaos is unveiled; as they are forced to form a relationship like no other. Passion, power & seduction. An enigma to one another; a hate fuelled explosion of heat and impetuous desire. In what began as a means to an end, she became 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

{𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥.} Losing the person who makes you... 𝘺𝘰𝘶. The one; who even in your darkest and most haunting times, makes you feel alive. Finding happiness in the little things again, Amara navigates her way from darkness and grief; reinventing herself, and finding out who she is - without him. Comfort can be found in the strangest of places, and when everything as she knows it changes; she seeks solace in the one who picked up the pieces. But where there's peace and serenity; there's an explosion waiting to happen. Until suddenly, it no longer remains in the place where it can be blissfully ignored. And without warning, it becomes the earth-shattering present once more.

He stepped toward her, lifted her chin in his hand and opened his mouth, but words wouldn't come out. "Connor..." "You could have been wearing something a lot similar to this while reciting your vows to Stephen." He wanted to sew his mouth shut when he saw the look of horror on her face. He had said something terribly wrong. "I forgot for a moment that you two are just friends and he gave you up because I love you so damn much." The dress was suddenly too much to bear. It weighed heavy on her, and the tiara on her head had her scalp crawling with beads of sweat. The lace on the gown made her entire body itch while the blinding white material burned her eyes to tears. "Get this off of me," she cried, desperately reaching for the zipper. A white dress and a jealous boyfriend were not included when she joined the agency.

If getting over him isn't enough, then get under someone else.

The Ice Prince of the Desert (Short Story) London had no choice but to cross the hottest desert just to see the Prince of the Kingdom of Al-Farhinah, Israel "Izzy" Yasin. He isolated himself from everyone and chose to live like a hermet in the middle of the desert. London travelled riding a camel, temporarily dyed her blond hair black and disguised as a man so she would not attract the desert bandits... until she arrived and met Izzy again. BUT he thought she was a deaf young boy who came to steal his black diamond. They fought physically until her headdress fell revealing her true identity.

Ten years ago, Isobel Clayton, daughter of a US Senator, loved Alex Smith with all her heart. But she knew her father wouldn't approve of Alex for he was a nobody.

Will Alex be able to prove his love, show her he could be more than her bodyguard and be her billion-dollar knight?

"You are mine!" He roars. "I will do whatever it takes to make you know that. Whether it means I lock you up in a prison and throw away the key." Footsteps come rushing into the dining room, and I turn to see multiple men--guards I suppose, flanking one another. Each of their hands rest on things within their jackets. Which i can only guess are guns. What else would they be? He waves them off and stalks towards me, standing behind my chair. I try to turn my head to look behind me, at him, but his hands move to the sides of my face, stopping me. "I can give you the world Mia. I am no fool. I know that love takes time, and I will give you as much as it takes. But you are mine." He says so calmly. -------------------------- When Mia Jones, a College student from Australia with a mysterious past is offered the opportunity to work as a translator for a man she had never heard of in New York City, she had assumed it would be a normal job, little did she know it would be the end of her freedom.
