They say one should never make hasty decisions when one is lonely and heartbroken. But Arabella decided for once to just go with the flow. One week of hooking up with the enigmatic and gorgeous man on the beautiful island of Santorini, turned out to be more than she bargained for. "I clearly told you, it was just for a week no strings attached, why are you so adamant on rekindling that relationship, Is it friendship you want?I'm all up for it", she said those last words sardonically. "Friendship? Arabella. Do you think I have been driving myself crazy just so I could ask you to be my friend?", no sooner Dominic said those words, he pulled her into his arms roughly and captured her mouth, giving her a long lingering kiss. "Arabella I'm not done here, I want you and you know in what way I want you, I'll have you. You belong to me", he said with his deep voice, gazing at her with his hauntingly grey-blue steady eyes, caressing her roughly bruised kissed lips with his thumb, and walked away, leaving her dumbfounded. Dominic King was a 28-year-old multi-billionaire, coming from generations of wealth, with the world at his feet. Never one to be in a serious relationship it was always casual. But that changed when he met her. His obsession for Arabella was undeniable...but was it LOVE? ©copyright ayanz88 NOTE: COVER BY @optimistic_tears
