COMPLETED. "Look, if you're-" "Shut up." I was taken back at the sudden manner in which he spoke to me. "Let's get something straight Miss Greene, I don't appreciate people talking back at me. And quite frankly, you're crossing your limit with me and my patience with you. So from now on, as long as you're with me you'll do as I say. Understood?" _____________________________________________ Mystery. Romance. Deception. You know what they say, hate is a strong emotion- so is love. You can only hate someone you place in high esteem since you care about what they think.

But when things begin to get out of hand, she discovers that she has more to do with the dangerous situation Adrian is involved in than she or anyone else could ever imagine. In the hopes of ending the matter, both must endure each other's company as they take a trip together which reveals unbearable past secrets and irresistible desires. Desires that Julie fears would only deepen her wounds, but somehow heal Adrian's. BONUS CHAPTERS available on my blog (link in my bio)

NOTE: (editing is minor. This is a rough copy) "So, girls, how's it going?" I inserted myself. They peer over their shoulders at the same time, faces in a serious expression. "Just fine, lover boy... Do you have something on your mind?" Rey questioned with folded arms. "No, not at all. I Just hope you don't mind me speaking to Candice here." I couldn't help this sudden boldness that came over me, just like at the party. I wanted nothing more than for it to go away. I felt like I would get myself into loads of mischief. ~~~~~~~~~🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹~~~~~~~~~~ Nathan was a handsome popular senior, living in a cliche bubble until, Candice, a beautiful loner, enters his superficial, twisted world. He takes an instant liking to her and naturally, drama and heartbreak ensues and turns their world upside down. Please refrain from copying or paraphrasing any of the texts without permission.
