"It's then that I looked up and saw Nathaniel Van DerSmith, CEO of Van DerSmith Entreprises. His dark hair was perfect, some strands falling on his forehead, a chiseled jawline that could cut concrete, and blue eyes as deep as the ocean."

And that's where it all began. 
--------------------

Hailey was no ordinary 21 year old college student. After a tragic incident happens to her, she finds herself in need of an internship. 

That's when she meets notorious and womanizer Nathaniel Van DerSmith, CEO of Van Dersmith enterprises, that her world turns completely upside down. 

Love, Drama, Friendship, this book won't be your typical Wattpad story.

MATURE CONTENT IN THIS NOVEL: If you are not comfortable with it, I will warn at the beginning of the chapters so you can skip it if you don't like that kind of thing.

This is just a GLIMPSE of what I plan for this story! I've been on Wattpad for a long time and always wanted to write the story I always wanted to read! Enjoy x

[Book 2 in the Secret series] "That's not what I meant..." I chew on my lip. "Well, what the fuck did you mean then?" He shouts. "When I'm there I don't have to think about you!" I yell back. Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself. His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital." I pick up my bag and rush out of the door leaving Noah in the room and saving myself from doing something I would definitely regret and make me change my mind about going back to Pennsylvania. ------------ 'I love you too,' were the last words Sophia heard before she was banished from her home city and she left without a second thought. If she didn't she knew she would be in danger. A month and a half later Sophia returns as a person close to her is in critical condition in hospital. Everyone's eyes are on Sophia, and they are looking for someone to blame. Will she return to her new life and forget about New York once and for all? Or will she fit right back into the McKenzie's life as if she never left? And as for her relationship with Noah, there might be a chance for romance after all.

Madeline Bloom is clumsy, complex, and bright; all the while dripping in sex appeal.

Follow them as they navigate through trials and tribulations as they reflect the epiphany of what it's like to... Are they just playing with fire or are they going to get burnt? ***** And a second later he pushed his face onto mine and planted a kiss on my lips. It was hard, and not romantic at all, very forceful but I didn't stop him. It was short lived one so I regained my senses fairly late and when I did, I realized that I was kissing a stranger or that a stranger was kissing me. "Stop," I pulled back and moved my head, "I hardly know you." Nathan fixed his suit, "I couldn't hold back, it was involuntary." "Nathan this is strictly business. Anymore and it could ruin my job." "Did you not say that you didn't like your job?" ~Includes some adult scenes ~Trigger Warning ⚠️ (2k16-19) *****

[SEQUEL TO DAMAGE CONTROL] Four years elapsed since he shattered her life. Four years since he practically forced her to break something he never thought he had--a heart. Now, Nathaniel's new empire Phoenix Tech he created after giving up Creed Industries, is thriving more than ever, still awarding him the title of being the ruthless, heartless billionaire he was before who always gets what he wants. After traveling around the globe doing charity work to compensate for her father's selfish actions, Anastazi finds herself back in California, where she begins working for a nonprofit organization as the Nonprofit Project Coordinator after secretly donating the millions she saved up on her own over the years. But what happens when a certain successful tech company offers to provide the resources she needs to skyrocket her nonprofit to a new level, and in return, one nonprofit employee has to shadow the tech CEO for a few months? Will she be able to swallow her past after everything that has transpired and shadow the very same man she's spent the last four years avoiding? History has a funny way of repeating itself with secrets still tucked away waiting to be unleashed, but this time the passion is steamier, emotions intensified, attracting like magnets that were destined to meet up in the end. Is there really light at the end of the long dark tunnel, or is that an illusion they will both be forced to accept? *Sequel to Damage Control. Must read the first book.* ⚠️ [18+] Includes very mature content, cursing, and triggers, including talks about suicide. ⚠️

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears.
