(Sequel to I Love that You're in My Life)  It's been three years since Alana and Gino last kissed and parted on that beach.  Gino's business in New York and constant absences led their relationship to break off.  Since then, Alana has focused on her career and what she wants in life.  But when Gino comes back after all that time, she never expected that the universe had planned out more for the two of them.  (In order to understand the story better, I highly recommend new readers to read I Love that You're in My Life).
Warning:  There will be sensuality and sexual material as the story progresses (from chapter twelve).

Shrek: Once Upon A True Love's Kiss [Book 1] by TashaFarthing
21 parts Complete
We all have those weird dreams where we fight dragons, dream of a 'happily ever after'...or in my cousin Alice's case; make friends with a unicorn that literally poops edible rainbow candy. Alice and I, along with our friend Zero, help my aunt and uncle clear out their basement during spring break while they went away for their wedding anniversary. It all started when I ever so gracefully (but accidentally) tripped over a cupboard box (which in my defence, I never knew was there) with the words: 'Fragile - DO NOT TOUCH', written in black marker all over the box. While Alice and I were arguing, Zero tried to grab our attention. When he finally did, we were surprised to see him being sucked into a freakin' green swirling portal! Turns out, inside the box I tripped over had a crystal ball rolled out of it, and glowed a bright green. That was when we realised that that crystal ball, was the reason why a portal appeared and was trying to pull us in. And of course...I got separated from them, didn't I? Would you believe me if I told you we entered the world of our favourite movie when we were kids? You know...the Dreamworks movie, Shrek? The one with the fairy tale and Disney characters in? Yep, that's the one! Oh, sorry! I almost forgot to introduce myself: My name's Willow, and this is the story of our journey in the world of Shrek - creating bonds with Shrek himself, Fiona, Donkey and the gang...heck, even Dragon, too! What could possibly go wrong?

Arranged Marriage Evelina Maddison Camilli is an aspiring American fashion designer. Her goal is to prove to her parents that fashion design could be as powerful as leading an empire. The only way to do that is by opening a shop without her parents' help. Her dream and goal were set to a target- But there is one problem. An extremely powerful businessman just bought the shop of her dreams. And, that was a huge barrier for her because it would be hard for her to continue with her plan. Devon Alexander Enderson is an English businessman on the verge of taking over his father's empire. The board threatens that his bachelorette behaviour, sleeping around and scandals are unacceptable for such a high position, and so his hands are tied. The only way to prove them wrong is by getting married and having a stable life. The opportunity comes... well... crashes into his office when an angry Evelina comes demanding to have the shop back. But- "Marry me" the words trembled slowly and cautiously out of his mouth, wrapped in a heavy voice. Just two words, loud enough for me to hear and clear as crystal sent shivers up my spine, making me weak. I've always been a sucker for deep accents. My throat suddenly felt dry as I stood in the middle of his office, unable to get a word out of my lips as I carefully eyed his deep blue orbs.

I don't know what spell you casted on my parents but I won't ever fall for it. And get one thing straight & clear, I don't want anyone to know about this marriage. We will act like a couple only infront of my parents. Don't expect anything more from me and neither do you knock at my door unless it's important." He spoke menacingly and turned to leave but the moment those words left his mouth, I felt as if someone dumped freezing water over my head. If he hates me so much, then why did he marry me and what does he mean by.. "What do you mean by 'girls like me' ?" I asked. He turned around and walked even closer, all my confidence began to fade. He leaned in, I could feel his breath on my ears. His closeness was doing things to me I have never felt before. I was on the verge of losing my senses, until he spoke.. "An innocent acting, desperate brat." His words pierced my heart, moreover his tone, his words reminded me of people I have been fighting all my life.

His voice is low with what he says next, "I love you Gracie" my voice hitches down my throat. "And I understand this is not what you want to hear now, remember the first time we met?" He holds each side of my head. I nod, "yes in that low lighted room at the party, it was September fifth and the time was around eleven twenty-nine pm" strangely I have the whole day memorized because of how I replayed the scene. He lets out a light chuckle and I drop my hands down, "na the first time we met was at camp. You also told me our kiss was your first" My mind runs back to that 'kiss' I had forced myself to forget, "you're that Aaron" my eyes are perplexed. "We sat around the campfire, we were given such weak dares" we both laugh at the memory "Your dare was to kiss me and you were really shy about it but all I could think of was, 'wow this gorgeous ginger is about to kiss me'" his laugh is so calm, soft and melodic. I pull his neck down so quickly that he doesn't get the time to adjust to what is going on. "And this ginger is about to kiss the fuck out of you again" I run my fingers viciously through his hair. **** {Started: January 2021} {Ended: December 2021} (#3 in rich kids) (#65 in diversity)
