"I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself.
  
"I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you."  
  
His words hung heavy in the air.
  
Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. 
  
The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath.
  
'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. 
  
Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. 
  
 Who knew what would happen then?

**The No 1 fantasy romance by award-winning novelist and scriptwriter Gytha Lodge, author of The Fragile Tower series** What if you had a power you couldn't control? What if you could make everyone you cared about fall in love with their perfect match, and live happily ever after? And what if the only person it wouldn't work on was you? Helena Morgan is a smart, sarcastic math student in her final year of MIT. She refuses to date, or to even get close to anyone male, and her friendships with her girlfriends have a bad habit of ending after a few months. But Helena isn't the hard person she appears to be. She has a secret; one that has made toughness necessary for her own survival. Helena creates fairytale happy endings, for everyone except herself. Every friend she's ever had has ditched her for their all-consuming new love interest, and the few times she's had boyfriends, they've suddenly found themselves head over heels for someone else... But the devastatingly hot new boy Joseph Moritz doesn't want to take no for an answer. The more Helena pushes him away, the more determined he is that they're meant to be together. She finds herself drawn into his world, one where his younger brother needs his protection from the increasingly bad people he's got involved with, and one where risks are a part of everyday life. She knows she shouldn't let herself get close to him, but something in Helena is aching to stop fighting. Is there a chance she might get to hang on to Joe, or will she lose him? And is it even worth the risk? The Cupid Touch is the gripping new story from Gytha Lodge, award-winning author of The Fragile Tower series. Available exclusively on Wattpad.

**NOT MINE ** !FOR OFFLINE READING PURPOSES! Entertainment circle + refreshing novel + disguise + fake and real daughter + double sweet love] Shi Ran encountered an accident and was suddenly transmigrated into a book. She became an 18-th tier cannon fodder supporting role that was hated by the whole internet. She was also the fake daughter who was inferior to the heroine in the book in every way. She simply gave up and let go of her ego. Hater: Our Feifei's acting skills crushed Shi Ran! Shi Ran's first drama was broadcasted the next day, and the seven-second shot became popular on the internet, overshadowing the heroine Shi Wenfei. She won the Best Actress Award after that in one fell swoop. Hater: Our Feifei sings well and also writes lyrics. What can Shi Ran do? Top-tier Celeb Emperor: I won the Best Golden Melody Award this time, and the person I am grateful for is my gold medal composer @Shi Ran. Hater: !!! Shi Ran was broadcasting live one day, and the haters rushed in crazily, filling the barrage with insults. Hater: Our Feifei is engaged to the young master of the Zhou Family! Her fiancé is tall, rich and handsome and spoils her, unlike you who is unlovable! "Baby, where did I put my stuff?" The man's low magnetic voice caused the pop-up screen to fall into silence. The next second, a bewitching man appeared in front of the camera. The crowd was shocked! It turned out to be Chu Jinchen, the future patriarch of the number one clan! The man's dark eyes swept over the pop-up screen, pretending to be puzzled, "The Zhou family? Don't know them." Shi Ran looked at a certain someone, humblebragging, and said, "I'm live streaming." "How about live streaming something more interesting?" Saying so, he leaned closer, behaving intimately. The audience smiled like aunties. The camera went black and the live broadcast was turned off. The audience frantically pounded the keyboard: Drop it! Begging to open the live broadcast!
