And when Ryan is suddenly fired without warning, everything shatters. Ella walks out-until Peter makes her an offer: Come back. Double salary. No Ryan. Just him.

But as secrets twist, loyalties crack, and desire turns dangerous, Ella will learn one thing the hard way: In a world where everything has a price... Love might be the most expensive lie of all. -Roniiaa ♥️

If only it was an Illusion!
"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living.
