I'm sure we've all heard this popular love quote that says;
If you ever have to choose between two people, always choose the second person because if you truly loved the first person, you wouldn't have fallen in love with the second. Well, not all of us would agree on that. Mia North included.
*****
So meet Mia North, a 21 year old self acclaimed cursed and pennyless woman who has only one aim in her life. Find a way to fend for her sick father and teenage brother.
As fate plans it, she lands a job in Starvnos house of Publishers, the largest publishing company controlled by the two contrasting brothers. Alan and Alaric Starvnos.
But what happens when she has to choose between the two brothers?
Even worse, what happens when it turns out, it isn't her choice at all but fate has to make that decision for her?
And the worst of it all, what happens when fate makes the wrong decision for her, one that could cost her the life of someone she loves?

"Miss North, you're fired." The beast in a suit nonchalantly declared to me as I fought the urge to grab the mirror on his desk and smack his face with it.
"You gave me twenty manuscripts to edit in just three hours." My voice reverberated in a the four walls, not giving a damn he was my boss.
"And you failed to do it. Now listen here, I don't work with a lazy, dull, incompetent, unreliable and irresponsible mediocrity of an employee who's not half as committed as the owners of this organization which unfortunately for you, includes me. And, I'm sorry, I'm not Alan. Never in a billion years, will I be smitten with you."
"Now don't let me repeat myself, Miss North. "You're fired." Gracefully, he pressed a button on his desk. "Security, report to my office and escort Miss North out."

He's another team lead at the company, and he seems completely immune to her friendliness. Mia has no idea why, but no matter how hard she tries, befriending him has been utterly impossible. Normally, that's not much of an issue. They only cross paths occasionally. And when they do, it's as if they've made an unspoken agreement: keep as much distance as humanly possible. But then a mistake forces them to spend the next 72 hours working together. In the same office. A nightmare for both of them ... or maybe something else?

Trying Not To Love (COMPLETED)
I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ Cassandra didn't come to Brinkley mansion to belong. She came to survive the year and leave. Then there's Easton Brinkley. Arrogant.
