♙♘♗♖♕♔ ♟♞♝♜♛♚
Enter Tyra Welsch. The twenty three year-old secretary to the billion dollar making company, Ackerman Co. With her hourglass figure, hazel eyes, flawless skin, plump lips, who would've thought she'd never had a boyfriend once in her whole entire life? Not only is she "blessed" on the beauty department, she's also "blessed" on the brains department; she's a woman with beauty and the brains, so to speak. Speaking of brains, she has been the undefeated champion in a lot of chess competitions worldwide. Tyra kills every negative thing in her life with kindness except for her boss, who infuriates her in ways she could never perceive. In simpler words, she resents him. Who is her boss, you ask?
The answer to that would be Silas Ackerman. The twenty five year-old CEO of Ackerman Co. The moment he steps inside a room, every woman swoons over him, staring at him in adoration whilst every man looks at him in envy. He's got women near him, left and right, here and there. With his jawline chiseled by the gods, perfectly shaven facial hair, intimidating grey-blue eyes and broad build, who wouldn't be?
Ah yes, Tyra Welsch.
One year, one agreement, an infinite amount of moves on a chess board, one great humiliation, endless bickering, and countless toss and turns later, a spark between the two is made.
I believe there is a quote that states "the more you hate, the more you love".
Will Tyra be able to accept her fall for Silas? As well as Silas to Tyra?
Hold on tight, because this story is about to get interesting.

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.

Why did you make me sign such a contract." I asked, furiously. He looked up from his laptop and smirked looking at me. "As far as I remember, I didn't make you sign the contract, did I? You signed it on your own If I am not wrong. It is entirely your fault if you signed it without reading the documents properly. The first rule in the business is, Never sign any papers without reading them properly." he said looking at me with his evil smirk. "I deny to follow that contract." I said, challenging him. "Your wish, Ms. Milburn. You can walk out of the company any moment you want and meet my lawyers in the court tomorrow," he said, leaning back on his chair. "You're cruel, Chris." I said helplessly. "It's Mr. Collins for you, Ms. Milburn. I hope you have learnt the basic etiquette and know what professionalism means or else your business degree is of no use." he said, sternly. "I hate you!" I said, furiously. "Now if you are done wasting my time then go and bring me my cup of coffee. No sugar. Now out!" he said as he concentrated on his laptop. I walked out of his company, helpless. These three months are going to be the most disturbing and stressful three months of my life. Read to find out more!Complete
Unwanted Wedlock
''Let me help you, ma'am,'' a man who was probably the flight attendant said. Damn. Ryerson Reeds even had handsome flight attendants. The man stooped a bit, leaning close to her and taking the seatbelt from her hands. He was holding eye contact and Lyla felt herself grow amused as she stared back at him. He was going to start buckling her up before someone cleared their throat loudly. They both looked up to meet Reeds' blue-green eyes. ''I think I can help my wife, thank you,'' he said. Lyla's eyebrows shot up. The dude barely talked to her and he was already getting possessive? How does that even add up? Reeds stopped taking the two parts of the seat belt in his hands, ''you couldn't do this without help?'' he muttered to her savagely. Lyla glared at him, before he could even get the belt close to her she took it from his hands and snapped it in the right place. She gave him a sickly sweet smile and Reeds simply scoffed and walked to his seat. The rest of the plane ride was quiet. One would think after that small exchange they would start having some kind of conversation. Wrong. ___________________ This isn't a cliche story where the girl falls for the guy by a simply little gaze. She's stubborn, she's maybe a little relatable, and she's assertive. But she didn't think she was for him. Lyla Vell; the name itself oozed the confidence which was her, and Ryersoon Reeds? Two words to describe him: Arrogant and plain painful. And when these two personalities are in an arranged marriage. Shit about to go down. ___ This is my first Wattpad story. Hope you'll like it! This entire story is NOT mature. Only the last few chapters are and you can still finish the plot without reading those few mature chapters. For those who are hesitant to read the story because it is tagged mature, I'm promising you only the last few chapters are mature, you can read chapters 1-19 without any disturbance of smut. That was for those who're hesitant. Love you. DON'T COPY MY WORK!Complete

"Your big mouth needs to be punished for spitting in front of your Boss," before I could apprehend his words, I found his lips on mine. ** "I had a dream this afternoon. You spanked me."
