Emilie gets distracted very easily. So why, just as her life starts to get all too busy, does Lukas show up? She can't help but see him as just another distraction. She has far more important things to focus on; the opening of her new cafe, her disabled sister.
But she hasn't been selfish for a long time, she hasn't had the chance to. At least thats her excuse.
Lukas' life is seemingly perfect. He is the first born to Joseph Berkeley, the headmaster and founder of the most prestigious college in America, Berkeley University. But wealth doesn't mean happiness, it never has. Not for Lukas that is. But when he meets Emilie, he can't turn back. Finally he found something he wants to work for, something he's passionate about.
Now, he just needs to convince her to be selfish.

Heartless Heiress ✔️ by RainElectric
32 parts Complete Mature
Viscious, cruel, cold -- those are just some of the words used to describe Jade Von Kaiser, the sole heiress to the Von Kaiser fortune. Working alongside her father, she has proven to be the only one worthy of the title, and she doesn't care who she steps on to become the very best. The only person who can take her down a notch is Dylan Sharp, a handsome sociopath with a charming smile and a cocky attitude. When Dylan becomes Jade's personal servant, things spiral out of control quickly as power dynamics change, and Jade is left to question everything she's ever known. _________________________________ 'The elevator ride up was silent as Jade seethed quietly, a considerable distance from me. I sighed and snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close with ease. I bowed my head and brushed my lips against her cheek. "Are you mad at me? I'll make it up to you," I cooed, kissing her neck gently. God, why did I love getting under her skin so damn much? I loved the cute way her eyebrows scrunched when she got mad or the way her freckles seemed to glow when she was embarrassed. "S-stop it," she said not-so-convincingly as she held her palms against my shoulders. I sucked softly on her neck right under her ear while trailing my fingers up her leg, releasing breathless gasps from her. Just as things were about to get good, the elevator dinged, and the doors began to open.' MATURE: Depictions of sex, violence, profanity, abusive/toxic relationships, drugs, and other mature themes.
