She has ruptured the wall he's built around his heart. She stepped in and deformed his cold aura. He restricted his disarming self but little did he know that this petite creature had resistance to his demeanour; the cold facade.
He never expressed, she forced him to.
He never felt, she got him to feel. 
He never cared, she made him care. 
He was all broken, she fixed him then...
...but what when the roles are swapped. What when she's broken, what when she doesn't care, what when she isn't able to feel or express? 
Would he be able to help her get her old self back?

How will the two battle against the odds and make it through or will they just ignore the sparks?
***
Jenna was joyous, bubbly, lively, secretive, nerd and all in all a happy go lucky person. She found pleasure in making people smile and helping them to enjoy the goodness in life. She wasn't perfect but her imperfections sparked her persona. To the world she lived an ecstatic life but little did they know...

Gabriel was rude, cold, heartless, a freaking BILLIONAIRE. He had a reputation, one which people were petrified at the thought of. He cared less. Anger was his solemn characteristic and happiness was far from vision. Nothing mattered to him other than his companies and his work. He mastered the art of reigning emotions to the point where smiling turned rare until...

Both are polar opposites but fate and past has planned something else..

"I should be allowed." He says with gritted teeth. His voice filled with something. A thing a lot like desire that brings me back to crazy reality. A reality where we are tangled up against each other. "You should be al...-" A gasp escapes my mouth as he lifts me up or rather goes further low for me. His hands, back on my waist. Face buried in the crook of my neck, he inhales into my skin. Still inhaling he lets out a manly groan that I feel everywhere, in places I didn't know existed. The places that come to life because of him. "I should be allowed to touch you." He rasps in my neck. My back arches up and I close my eyes at his declaration. At his domination. At his intoxication. "You should be allowed to touch me." I insist. Brain empty. Because I can't think right now. He lifts his head up then, I notice his eyes have gone darker. His features have gone wilder. Representing an untamed animal in a way. ------------------------- Isabella Evans is your typical good girl who has a bit of a dark past. She's beautiful, kind, sweet, pure, innocent, naive, caring,...etc She always tries to see good in people. Gabriel William Hunter, CEO of Hunter Enterprises; is one of the most successful people around the world. Every girl in the city drools over him.

| WATTPAD INDIA AWARDS 2021 SHORTLIST | Like a moth to the flame, Amy finds herself drowning in Jake's chaos, and it doesn't even make sense how she's ready to do anything to see that sun-kissed smile on his face. She is his peace when he is everything that sets her heart and soul in a hurricane. And just like that, all her plans to have a peaceful college life go down the drain. The moment she looks into his black orbs, she finds herself losing in the hands of a guy her mom strictly forbade her to get involved with ever. Who knew four years of college life would become everything she should have never sought for, but also, something she always wanted to, with all her heart. Jake is stubborn, arrogant, and a lot more mysterious about himself than Amy can handle. He is also passionate, an artist with a paintbrush that can create masterpieces and depressed in ways no one bothers to know, except Amy. Amy is undeniably attracted to him. But Jake harbors enough regrets from the past to never seek the light Amy has to offer. Amy slowly manages to break through the walls of redemption Jake has created around himself. But she can never change the fact that our mistakes run deep than any other feeling. When shadows of past mistakes start drowning Jake into a dark pit of chaos, Amy might be his one chance to seek light, his silver lining, and love that can heal the ugliest of scars. But is he willing to heal? Or is it simply too late for him? Cover by @krissthetic
