(ON HOLD)
The struggling bakery owner, Gemma Braxton, never expected the break of her lifetime: inheriting her estranged grandfather’s bank account and most importantly, his company. Going from a small-time bakery owner to a full time CEO of a large hotel industry isn’t quite the sunshine and rainbows Gemma was hoping from the generous bequeathal. Giving up the bakery she’s worked all her life for, she takes the proper seat of being president of Dalliance, engulfing her into the corrupt world of business …and businessmen.
Being thrown in at such a young age, Marcelo Valacari is insusceptible to the cruel world of business, owning the illustrious Valacari Hotel & Resort. At only age twenty-nine, he’s achieved the title of being the youngest (and richest) business mogul out there. After learning of the former CEO’s death of Dalliance, all plans of a partnership are on a hiatus. Marcelo has no choice but to woo the new CEO into the business deal, and he’s going to do whatever it takes to make sure the deal goes through as planned, even risking his heart.

"You will be mine Miss Drake and I do not share." I state sternly.
"Release my arm Mr. Sanford before I force you to." She states giving me a fake smile. I smirk at her. She takes her other hand and squeezes my wrist before twisting it in a painful position. I hiss in pain. "Don't underestimate me Mr. Sanford." She whispers in my ear before gently pushing me away from her. I shake my hand and look back at her.
"This is the only time I will allow you to walk away from me Miss Drake." She turns and glares at me.
"Mr. Sanford, I am no possession of yours. " She pushes the classroom door open and leaves me standing there.
