❝our eyes met, and our souls caught on fire.❞ ═════════════════════ Carla Marshall was a storm that could not be contained, her thunder rumbling and her lightning flashing, but her beauty could only be seen when the rain began to fall. The raindrops were her tears, the storm was her sorrow, but when she opened herself up to the world, she revealed a rainbow of hope and light. She was a rare thing, a force of nature, a tempest of emotion, and those who saw her for who she truly was knew that she was more than a storm cloud. She was the sun after the rain, the promise of a new beginning. She's always had to fight to survive, whether it's against the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father or the challenges of everyday life. But now that she's a freshman at CSUN, she's determined to forge a new path for herself. She wants to make friends and build a future for herself, but trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes. When she meets Valen Monroe, a cocky and arrogant student who seems to have it all, the last thing she wants is to be around him. Valen Monroe was a force to be reckoned with, both inside and outside of the ring. As a boxing champion for two years running, he had a fierce reputation and an even fiercer gaze. His devilish looks and charming smile had many a girl swooning, but there was one girl who refused to fall under his spell. A girl with a quick temper and even quicker fists. When his friend was on the receiving end of her punch, Valen's interest was piqued. He knew there was more to her than met the eye, and he was determined to find out what it was.
The Outlaw
You can't call them friends with benefits because they're not friends. Not enemies, either. Maybe almost strangers. To others it seems illogical but for them, it works. Madeline Wolfe led a solitary life. She had no desire to get caught up in the notion of a relationship. She buried her problems deep inside with no plans to unravel. Little did she know the arrangement she struck with precautions to avoid tangles would throw her into a tailspin. Travis Ortiz believed anything worth doing is worth doing well. A beast in the cage, Travis was known as "the Outlaw". Determined to have more than mind-blowing passion, Travis found himself fighting in more ways than one.Concluida![Seeing Red [Story Preview]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/228427067-256-k668949.jpg)

To read the Completed book: Go to Okadabooks https://okadabooks.com/user/FareedaHaruna "That is my condition. I've had it imprinted in the journal already. There is nothing you can do about it" Sarki Abusadiq said gritting his teeth. It's not like he asked Yarima to slit his wrist. He was making a big deal out of nothing and it was irritating. "Of all the conditions you could attach to me, you chose her? When you know I had someone all this while. She's not even Royal" he stated clenching his fists. He couldn't beat up his father of course. It just gave him an inner strength. "You know how this goes. My father gave me a condition, so did his father, and the father after that one. That's how it works. It's either this, or Azeem takes the throne." Sarki Abusadiq said adjusting his turban. The dresser made the turban too sketchy today. He ought to get rid of it before he gets a headache. "I've done everything you've ever asked of me. I've never disrespected you. I've never done anything stupid or wrong like Azeem. Why are you doing this to me father?" he asked trying to see if a little sadness could weaken his father's choice of condition. "Young man! Man up. You're a King! Sacrifices are meant to be made. Go out. I need to rest before the council comes. Choose wisely " Sarki Abusadiq said shooing his eldest son. Yarima left the throne room with slumped shoulders. This was something he never thought would happen. How could his father do this. Well he will make a choice! A choice that would surely work in his favor!Concluida

Pretending was supposed to be easy... until desire entered the ring. William, 21 years old, a rising boxing star, is determined to stay away from dating until he wins gold at the Asian Games. But constant pressure from his family to start dating proves more distracting than actually dating. So William hatches a plan: pretend to be gay and enlist his trainer Est, 27 years old, legend in Thai boxing and a notorious playboy who flirts with new girls constantly, to fake a relationship and keep his family satisfied. Est agrees to pretend to be gay and fake date as well to keep William focused on boxing.
