Love is what we believe love is, whatever it might be. Love teaches its hardest lesson to Josephine and Hero. Their loves for acting, their loves for creativity, their loves for families, friends and life; and ultimately their love for each other have been test time and time again. Will their versions of love win in the end? Their denial on love for each others might ring true to the fate drafted by God upon them, OR, would it be otherwise? Whatever the outcomes may be, they will eventually find the love they seek for so long; either elsewhere or in each other.

Josephine Langford needs a husband. If she is to keep a roof over her siblings' heads, the prim rector's daughter must wed by her twenty-first birthday. When she finds a mysterious stranger with the face of an angel and the body of Adonis unconscious in the forest and with no memory of his name or his past, she decides to claim him for her own. Little does she know that her fallen angel is really the devil in disguise. PS: This isn't my original story so all rights goes to the author. I just rewrite it in a different way and I hope you all enjoy it.

"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022

She knew who she was and that was enough. But when she met Hero, a mysterious quiet kid, who only read books, had always his headphones on and was obssessed with waves, another name stuck to her: "The deaf kid's protector" And that time she decided to pay attention to that name and actually act on it.
