"When you have the courage to conquer your fears, you have the ability to conquer the world."

Robert Harper, a man in his fifties and CEO of Harper Inc, hires Sarah Brooks to be his assistant. But he doesn't realize that this was actually a part of Sarah's plan. The real reason she's in the company is to uncover the truth of a terrible incident that took place years back, for a mission that she'd been obsessed with for years; one that nobody knows or can imagine. 

Sarah manages to keep the whole thing a secret until she meets Kevin Harper, Robert's nephew, who also works at Harper Inc. After a slip up and an unexpected event that almost shatters the company's reputation, Kevin gets a whiff of suspicion on Sarah. As they discreetly set out to find answers, Sarah and Kevin are unknowingly thrown into a whirlwind of conflicting truths and twisted motives. The tension between the two becomes palpable as horrifying truths come to light.

When Kevin discovers something so appalling and nerve-wracking that it threatens to tear everything apart, including himself, he comes to a terrible decision.

Breaking Ground by ADSehom
40 parts Complete Mature
Alexa Sampson has always believed in fantasy worlds-just not in love. Her exes made sure of that. The first time she met Kevin, she believed in impossible magic. Years later, fate throws them together again. Only now, he isn't just the guy her heart never forgot-he's her best friend's soon-to-be stepbrother. And her best friend isn't thrilled. Kevin is off-limits. Complicated. A risk to the one friendship Alexa can't afford to lose. But Alexa has one chance to carve her own path and launch a project that could reshape her future. And Kevin is the one person who can help her build it. Working side by side on her dream project, their spark reignites into a fire neither of them can ignore. But trusting her heart could cost Alexa everything: her friendship, her family's image, and the legacy she's spent her whole life fighting for. Now she has to decide whether love is worth the risk... or if trusting Kevin will bring it all crashing down. ⸻ Author's Note - Intellectual Property All rights reserved.

Thera Mallay, she was a self-made billionaire, having chains of restaurants across the globe and many other businesses. Her company was all she had. Her family? No one knew about it, friends? No one knew that either. Where she was from was never known to the public. Her company was becoming the best, the only competition was from Isaac Grayson, the owner of the Grayson Empire who inherited the company from his father. He was a typical CEO, ruthless, arrogant and cold. He feared nothing but the fact that Mallay Empire might take over his. So, when Isaac approaches her with a deal to merge their companies by marrying each other, will she risk all she had to be destroyed by him or marry him just for the sake of her company? --------------------------------------------------- "I will be your wife soon and I do have the right to tell you what's good or not", I said sternly. He chuckled darkly before turning towards me, "Wife? You will be my wife just on papers, just in the eyes of the public and my parents besides that I don't consider you my wife, Miss Thera Mallay. And don't even think that I am going to obey you, Ever."

I repeated, every bone in my body aching from this pain, this betrayal. What I'm doing, or going to do, is definitely some form of betrayal. But I don't have a choice, right? He needs to understand that I don't have a choice. Or do I? "I do too. But...Why are you saying it like that?" He asked, feeling a little anxious. "Like what?" I replied, praying to dear God he doesn't say something that'll make me cry. "Like you're saying goodbye." 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Alexis Pierce is just another high school clumsy story.
