"Alec Nicolaus Armstrong, America's heartthrob was caught in another fight with the paparazzi last night, the Greek singer seems to have been drinking again," The anchorwoman says, a video footage of a drunk Alec cursing the paparazzi shows up, before the anchor woman speaks again. "The reason for his recent behavior seems to be his mother's death." "We were informed by a source that he wants to quit singing as he lost his inspiration, and doesn't feel like singing anymore, so he's going to join a new school, they failed to give me the details of the area as Alec Armstrong wants to have privacy and a normal life, a-" I switched off the tv, I was trying to do my chemistry homework. I never liked Alec, his personality and his playboy reputation. I'm not like the other girls who gush over him, write fan mails or stalk him on social media. On the contrary, I wouldn't even want to know him. Little do I know, he was actually going to join our school, and I, Summer Moore, was going to be his guide. A/N: Sorry for all the typos and grammatical errors, the book is not yet edited! Thanks for reading! Copyright © December 2016

There's something about Jasper that pulls me in even as I want to escape. Maybe it's his piercing too-blue eyes that hide a lot of secrets.

Because no matter how safe and protected he makes me feel, he is dangerous. And he is hiding something. And I really need to start being responsible. But then again... Where's the fun in that?

#99 Romance [20/12/2016] An independent woman proposes an open marriage to her deceased brother's best friend to help pay his company's debt with the money her brother left her in his will as a 'wedding gift'. * * * * * * * * "Let me help you, Owen." Alice swivelled on the desktop to be sitting facing him directly. "We can get married right now, get the money and file for divorce the next second." She was nearly leaving him no choice. But then again, his concern wasn't fully about the money. "And... and what about us?", he inquired in a low voice. "What about us?", Alice told him innocently. He grabbed the forearm she rested her weight on the table and shocked her by pulling her down onto his lap. Their face came inches apart. Her bosom touched his chest. Her hands instinctively set on his hard chest. A gasp escaped her mouth at the surprisingly electrifying contact of their bodies. He felt that too. For a second, his eyes wandered to her lips. Then he shocked her with his next words. "If I marry you, I can't divorce you."
