Time is money. 
But money definitely can't buy me any more time.

     The night that I met Drew Rush, Manhattan's top divorce attorney, was the same night that I got engaged - to him. 

     When my father suffers his seventh stroke in three days the doctors break the devastating news that he couldn't continue to live long enough to see the end of the month. Death comes sooner rather than later for my father Kirk Davenport. 

    Instead of taking time to grieve his death, I'm being consoled by an ugly, oversized diamond ring on my finger and a rushed, over-the-top wedding planned by my father's own will. 

    Drew Rush, my stand-in fake fiancé is an egocentric asshole. He told me how it was, how it had to be and how it will be as husband and wife.  Although GQ hadn't named him sexiest man of the year, the girls of Manhattan easily could've.

     I hadn't seen his face plastered on numerous billboard's across New York like everyone had claimed. I didn't know much about Drew Rush, but his promise to put the happiness back in your life was his ode to his success. Upon my not-so-pleasant first encounter with Drew Rush I decided I was anything but getting my happily ever that was promised.

     Secrets, lies and betrayals weren't in Drew Rush's contract. None of it was. He was a f*cking divorce lawyer, not a family shrink. He didn't do casual hook-ups, or one month commitments to marriage. Drew Rush wasn't built for love, he was built for an empire filled with power.

     How was I supposed to pretend to be in love with someone who's my soon-to-be husband? 

     Well, I learned that you can't pretend.

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

We were so close again. Closer than anytime before. „I-.",I started to stop anything we both were going to regret. „Shhh. Don't say anything",he said against my lips as our nosetips brushed agains each other. „Have you found your dresses?",he asked as his thumb brushed over my lips making me weak in my knees. I nodded softly looking at his eyes wich were attached to my lips. „I can't wait to see you in them",he whispered against my lips before placing soft kisses on the edge of them. I closed my eyes breathed out loud in pleasure. His teasing wasn't as useful as he thought. My patience won. „Your patience is kiling me","The contract",I whispered."Fuck that contract"he bursted and pulled me closer by the waist before pressing his lips on mine. ---------------------------- Delana Celine Harvey a 18 year old girl, faces the hart consequences of losing her supporting and loving family due to a car accident.
