She wants it. She wants it so bad. More than anything in the world. She would kill for it.
He wants it. He wants it more than her. What they want, though, are two things unimaginably different. He would kill to give it to her.
They don't know each other very well, but, then, these two people are the warring personification of the current ideas of their Earth. In a world where they offer riches and a full life for the family of anyone who competes in the game, there are some who merely join to destroy all the government has worked for. The only question is whether they are finally right.
When the last five have finally won and the government is beginning their expedition, the strange blonde boy that always seems to be there has the chance to decide if his young sister's broken mind could dislocate the dwindling thread that houses poverty, death, and the frequent obsession with staying alive.

Colliding Hearts: The CEO & The Maid
Clary Evans never believed in fairytales. Life had been cruel, her parents even crueler, and the world had never given her a chance to dream. With no diploma and no future, she had only one goal-survive. Taking a job as a maid in the mansion of billionaire CEO Malcolm Hayes was supposed to be simple. Clean, stay invisible, and save enough money to finally escape her past. But Malcolm was *anything* but simple. Arrogant. Ruthless. Infuriatingly handsome. The man was a walking storm, and Clary had the misfortune of stepping right into its path. From the moment they met, they clashed like fire and ice, neither willing to back down. Yet, somewhere between the heated glares and the sharp words, something changed. Hate turned into understanding, and understanding turned into something deeper-something dangerous. But just when Clary let her walls down, the ghosts of her past came back to haunt her. Secrets she never wanted Malcolm to know threatened to tear them apart. And before she could stop it, she was forced to leave. Years later, when fate brings them back together, Malcolm is no longer just her arrogant boss-he's a man who never stopped searching for her. And this time, he's not letting her go. Love was never part of their plan. But sometimes, the strongest hearts collide in ways no one expects. --- Do you like this description?
