Suffocate: Book Four (bxb) ✔️
Book four of five in the New Beginnings Series.
VALENTINE PIERCE:
My dearest cousin is going on his honeymoon, leaving me jobless for two weeks. Maybe that's a little dramatic, but it left me open and needing something to do.
Allison Yates, the CEO of the label August works for has tasked me with helping Vesper Quinn adapt to the changes in his life. Which means, I have to be his temporary manager until they can find him one.
Normally, I would have jumped for joy at the opportunity, except, Vesper decided I'm nothing but a snobby rich kid, who does whatever he wants. If I want it, I get it.
It stemmed from Vesper finding out that I showed his videos to the company. He was signed, and he wasn't the least bit appreciative.
See, I followed him for years. I was once intrigued by him. We even... went on dates. I thought he liked me, and I even thought we were headed somewhere. But then he vanished for almost two years. He stopped making music. He changed his number. He didn't contact anyone.
Until he finally showed up for his audition, and he was signed. Sure, I thought, maybe we still had a chance. Until it evaporated that night in the stairwell.
So, why is he being kind to me? I'm not falling for his tricks. I won't let him in again. I tried twice. I even gave him a chance after he vanished on me-but then I saw the way he looked at me when he not only found out what I'd done to help him, but who I was related to.
But something is going on with him. I see it in his eyes. The mistrust.
And then I find out he's suffocating, and he's been alone.
It's dangerous to fall after the soon-to-be superstar, but I want him. I desperately want him, and I have for years.
Hey, it's Christmas-anything can happen, right?
