"You know how I've been telling you about my law courses and how I'll surely ace them?" He asks suddenly as I hum in response.
"Well...I don't think that's happening anymore."
My eyes switched to him and I gave him a confused look, contorting my forehead in such a way that he'd know I was asking him to elaborate.
"I tried doing doodling and cartoon drawing...and I feel like it's just meant for me." He paused as if to add emphasis to how much it really felt to him. "Sure, I suck at it but I'm sure I'd get used to it at some point...right?"
"I should definitely switch to an arts major...you support me on this, right?" He insisted, his eyes were shimmering with something of expectance and plea.
His eyes were locked with me, I couldn't simply break his heart, can't I?
There was only one answer to say.
"Of course...not."

She's the goddess of truth.
She speaks nothing but sincerity and honesty.
Doesn't she have such a gorgeous look on the inside? Because the outside-apparently-never matters anymore.
I mean, a girl who never lies. A girl who would, no matter the consequences, ALWAYS, tell the horrid trueness.
Wait, wait, wait!!!
Rewrite the script! That seems too boring! Too Easy and predictable.
What about a girl of deception, lies and unspeakable trickery.
I mean, let's be honest here. You didn't come to wattpad to read about the goodest of girls. Na-ah. You came here for the duping that you know will come to you, yet still welcome it with open arms.
So I introduce you to Klay Estevan....or is she?

*unless of course the name and place is actually true, then I didn't mean for the character to be that person or the setting to be that place. 😅
⚠️ book cover photo not mine!
She's a little rabbit amidst a pack of hungry wolves. A prey amidst a pack of predators. A flickering light amidst a jungle of darkness.
Her kindness is her vulnerability, a soft heartbeat in the face of merciless, sharp fangs. Yet, in the midst of this peril, there's a quiet strength, a glimmer of innocence that refuses to be extinguished. She may be small, but they aren't the only ones with secrets.
How does one go from being a normal 15 year old with the best family she could ask for to being the unknown daughter of a billionaire?
From skipping through life like its a path of roses to finding danger in every breath she takes?
From dancing to baby shark as she walked home to playing video games in a private jet?
Ask anyone, they would say she is a combination of water and fire. A shimmering river that will flow in whichever way you direct her and also a blubbering stumbling fool that might or might not burn down a building if left unsupervised. In her defense the ground is 'madly in love with her' and danger is a 'clingy ex'.
Welcome to the life of Palak; a carefree overthinker, a sensitive rock, a withering laughing fool. She doesn't break, but she sure as hell is covered in bruises.
This is Palak. An oblivious Mafia Princess. The Bubbly Heiress of Chaos.
Will she be able to keep her smile or will she end up loosing it forever?
