I do not let weakness and sin distract me from greatness. 
And sin originated from one creature. 

Nothing else has the power to drive a man to do what is against his better judgment than lust for women. 

A woman can make a man abandon his friends, abandon his morals, abandon his dreams.

Women will make a man soft.

It is up to a man to resist this seduction, this temptation, this sin, or it will destroy him.

And in time, we shall pay for each of our transgressions.

And our children will pay for them, too.
We will pay for these sins with our blood and our pain.

~Malcolm Foxworth
 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"No! Malcolm knows nothing of you. You are good, you're so pure
and nothing like our families!"

"You make me strong Lailah Walker, you help me drive away the demons"

"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams." My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed no emotion. He then started walking towards me I moved back. This continued until my back hit the door. Then he placed his one hand on my side, leaning forward, close to me. "What was rule number three Miss Adams." His face was extremely close to mine my breath got hitched. I couldn't answer his question why? Because I was more focused in the distance between us. "I asked you something Miss Adams." He said again. "T-That t-there a-are prohibited areas i-in the house where I shouldn't g-go." "It seems like you remember the rules. This room is one of those prohibited areas. So, from next time think before you put yourself into trouble." I just stared at his eyes. I was lost in those pair of sea-coloured eyes. No other guy has ever affected me this much as Mr. Parker. I get nervous around him. I don't know what this feeling is but this feeling is different. A feeling that I have never felt for anyone. "Understood?" he said again. I nodded. "Yes Mr. Parker." ***************** Liam Parker, 25 year old billionaire. Arrogant, handsome, ruthless, the only thing matters to him is his son and his work.
