She built an empire from nothing. He was born to rule one built on blood. Venella Kumar - 26, billionaire tech prodigy, cold steel and soft heart she shows no one. With walls higher than her penthouse windows, she doesn't do love, doesn't do trust, and definitely doesn't do men who think power is ownership. Control is her religion. Freedom is her oxygen.

What begins as a collision becomes a battlefield: power vs power, control vs autonomy, obsession vs survival. But when enemies target her to break him, and the only way to protect her is to cage her, the line between love and ruin turns deadly. Because she was never meant to kneel. And he was never meant to let go.

This is a war. (DARK ROMANCE | MAFIA | SLOW BURN | OBSESSION)

He waited, perhaps how the moon waited for the sun. And I chose to ask more of it-of the ceaseless hope we held in our palms. "Give me tonight, please." "You've got tonight."

But only when I looked up did I realize that his eyes held the words: you've got my tomorrows, too. *** No matter how much she runs, Laura is stuck in an endless loop of her past.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||
