A chaotic love story.
Meet Aries Cross, the intelligent, but witty, anxious, but pretty, small and quiet, but strong and deadly, seventeen year old ex-spy.
Aries was taught to fight and since the first moment she could, by her amazing father. Her father was an amazing spy working for the CIA, and taught his daughter everything he knew in hopes for her to follow in his footsteps. And she did. Once she turned ten, she already could beat down three full grown men at once, had military, boxing, self defence, and basic fighting training, could snipe anything no matter the distance, as long as she could see it, hack into any website she wanted, and of course, spy without being caught.
Until one day, her father got shot on duty, and killed. Aries was with him, she could have saved him, and because she didn't, she felt that she wasn't good enough to be a spy, and quit in her fathers honor. She stopped speaking unless it was required, and closed everyone off and away from her life. Until her step mother finally convinced her to go back to high school; Where she meets Reese, the highly annoying, gorgeous jaw-dropping, hilarious, heart stopping, bad boy.
Reese is determined to figure Aries out, the quiet mysterious new girl, but she seems very determined to keep her secrets closed off... until they are forced out by something very deadly.

"Psst!"
I looked over at the gorgeous boy sitting besides me, I would never actually admit he was gorgeous in person, of course. It was Reese.
"Why haven't I seen you around town before? I know everyone here, were you hiding under a rock?"
His friend sitting besides him snickered. I didnt blink, nor answer, I only turned back around, pulling a book from my bag and opening it.
"Why dont you talk?" Reese asked.
Without missing a beat I spat a response.
"Why dont you shut up?"
The gorgeous boy let out a chuckle.
"I'm going to figure you out, whether you like it or not."
I sent him the bird

~ 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 ~ * * * It's Brutal. Chaos. A Trap. ------ Ariyah Moretti has spent her life running-from her past, her name, and the father who wanted her dead. Living in the shadows, she's learned how to disappear... until the night she's found by Damien Niklov-the infamous and feared leader whose empire is built on blood, power, and silence. When Damien offers her a dangerous proposal of marriage, Ariyah knows she must accept to survive. What he doesn't know is that she isn't who she claims to be. Beneath the name "Moretti" lies the truth she's sworn to bury-the last living heir of the Grayan bloodline, a name that was meant to be erased in fire and ash. But Damien isn't a man easily deceived. He sees through every lie, every attempt she makes to escape him. And with every failed run, every heated exchange, the line between hatred and desire blurs until she can't tell which burns hotter-her fury or his obsession. ------ He chuckled darkly, his eyes glinting in the dark, "The hate I had for you transformed into an emotion so powerful that it became unbearable for me to handle, to the point where it fucking physically hurts." His hand slithered to back of my neck and pulled me closer. "You made me like this, you turned me into this, you made me love you even when it seemed fucking impossible." "You don't love me." It came out harsher than I expected. "This is you manipulating me, using me into getting what you want." His eyes narrowed. "Is that what you think?" "Yes." His thumb smoothly rubbed my neck in a circular motion. I breathed in. "Do you love me?" His gaze remains on mine. "If I loved you, then our love would be a sin, that led to chaos, betrayal and death." I spat. "If our love is a sin, then let us be punished together." ------ In a world built on secrets and sin, love is the most dangerous betrayal of all. ------ 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⚠️ ~ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧

"I hate you," she muttered and I was taken aback. I looked at the guys for a quick second and back at her. "W-" "Don't ever scare me like that again," she said harshly, colliding with my body.

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross]
Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing.

I am Isabel (published)✔️
Meet Isabel. She gets along with most people, not super popular but she's not a wallflower either. Isabel doesn't need anyone else in her life not to protect her and certainly not Derek and his crew. She lives with her brother and father . They share a secret that could land them in jail. She can fight almost anyone and win, this girl kicks a$$. Yet Isabel has a past that features in her nightmares, making her afraid to sleep alone. --- "Hey?" I heard but didn't reply. "Hey!" I still didn't reply. A hand grabbed my arm and I twisted out of it on instinct. There was a glimmer of surprise in his eyes as I faced the last of the Five in the now almost empty hallway. Derek. Almost as tall as Mac. Black hair like the twins with ice cold blueish grey eyes. Same fighters build, six pack and all but not as soft as Mac or as feminine as the twins beauty. He was more rugged. I did understand the appeal of these boys but there were a lot of good looking guys on the swim team too and I did go with Jarred when he had fights. "You know we wouldn't let anyone hurt you right? Even if Jarred isn't around, we'll be here to protect you." I blinked. I blinked again. Nope, he was still standing there with the same serious expression. Derek, the unofficial leader of the Five, the boy every guy would want to be friends with and every girl would love to sleep with, was offering me his protection. I did the only thing that made sense in that situation. I burst out laughing. I was laughing so hard that I doubled over and when I glanced up at him I just cracked up again. He stood through it all without any emotion on his face, there was barely a glimmer of anger in his eyes. If anything I might have seen some surprise. I patted him on the arm and winked. "You. Are. Funny! I don't need you idiots to look out for me. But thanks for the thought." With that I quickly made my way to class.Complet
The Perfect Match #1
Kaylee is your typical good-girl. But things take a turn when she bumps into a 'bad boy' at a party. ~ We finally get inside the party. But this isn't your usual party it was packed with celebrities, models, and Hot guys. I get one drink and... boom. I went crazy. I got another and another and another. Soon I was as drunk as I could be. I have no idea where I was going but I bumped into a really buff scary looking guy. I frowned for a second then I spoke. "Hey watch... where you are going!" I shout nearly falling. He catches me as soon as I fall. "Ms. I call for no trouble-" "Are you always this huge?" I said interrupting him. He guffaws for a moment then he replies. "Ma'am I am always this huge. But could you stop drooling on me?" We both looked down and that wasn't drool. I accidently peed on his shoes. My face turned a faint pink. He didn't look so amused by the action though. "What the hell woman?! You just ruined my-" Lexy hurries over seeing I am in trouble. Her eyes dart to me angrily. After it seemed like hours of her staring at me she gives the buff guy a puppy eyed look. "Sir I am so sorry. My sister is just well as we can both see very drunk." He looks at her with annoyance in his eyes. "Well no fucking kidding." He says then he storms off to somewhere. Lexy gives me a 'I am going to kill you' look. "Kay how on earth do you manage to pee on someone without knowing- you know what never mind don't answer that question." She says with a very irritated expression on her face. We turn to leave but the buff man is back this time he looks more pissed than before. "I will send you the bill." He says as he gives Lexy a paper. But my stomach was turning and I felt like crap at this moment. I was too dizzy to see what they were doing at this point. My eye sight faded to black and I fell into a deep sleep."
