"The Caregiver and the Mob Boss" ❦ Avelina makes her money by taking care of those who can't take care of themselves. When she is handed a case about a man who had needed a personal caregiver, she accepts. One thing Avelina never anticipated was the dangerous lifestyle he lived. Not only that, but she didn't expect for him to be so incredibly good-looking. Adrik Zolotov, the Russian mobster that everyone called "Mad Hatter". His insanity and crave for blood left him the most feared man of all. All he wanted was power and those around him to fear him. For a man recently diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, everyone believed him to be emotionally incapable of ever loving anyone. . . Imagine their surprise when he meets Avelina. ❦ "Mr. Zolotov, I have to make sure you bathe before I leave. It's apart of my jobs protocol," she said softly. The truth was that he made her feel nervous. There was so much coldness and evil in his eyes, it left a chill to run down her spine. "Fine," he stated before walking over to his bathtub. Her eyes followed his movements as he pulled off his shirt causing her to lick her lips and quickly look away. She could hear the sound of more clothes falling onto the ground until the sound of water running littered her eardrums. "You assist when asked, isn't that right?" He asked. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see that he had already gotten into the shower. "Yes," Avelina answered. "Bathe me." ❦ Dangerously far from cliché

"What does one plus one equal?" I asked with a slight smug forming on my face, teasing him. "A child," he replied with a satisfied smirk. - Irene Anderson and Archer Everton. At first sight, they seemed like polar opposites. Though they were in the same grade and had similar classes, they were nothing like each other. Archer Everton was popular, athletic, and rich- everything was handed to him on a silver platter. Irene Anderson was invisible, always busied herself with work, and had to support herself since the start of high school. So when Irene agrees to tutoring Archer, many things could go wrong. Opposites shouldn't mix together, but they do. They can attract each other like many people say, or they could possibly do the exact opposite of just that. But as the saying goes, some things go deeper than the surface. © 2020 aspen
