Let's pretend (book 1)
"You're beautiful Elise" "Zach, please..." I smiled when she called me Zach. It was always Zachary or Mr. Walton and when she called me Zach I... "Zach?" she sat up on the bed raising an eyebrow "If you don't want..." I cut her off by kissing her gently while tugging on her shorts until I removed them without breaking the kiss. "I want this, more than you can imagine, I just want you to be sure you want it too" Without saying anything she started undoing my shirt's buttons, until she lost all her patience and ripped it off. I chuckled "Eager much?" "Don't you think it's about time? We've been playing cat and mouse enough" "Elise just shut up and kiss me, kiss me like it's the first time yet not the last, kiss me like it's something you've been wanting to do for so long and you finally can, kiss me..." Zachary Walton, a 28 years old bachelor, CEO of Walton's industries is known for being ruthless, arrogant and full of himself. He doesn't smile easily, or at least not to everyone. He shows a hard façade but deep down he has a good heart and cares for people in his life. His mother is as ruthless as he can be, maybe even more. When she wants something, she gets it no matter what is at stake. She hates seeing her son's face in the papers every morning, and decides it's time for him to settle down and have a family. The worst part of it, she chose his bride to be. And it's someone he hates deeply. What happens when Zachary finds the perfect woman to play a little game with him? Pretending to be his girlfriend for as long as it takes to have his mother off his back? Little did he know this decision was going to flip his world upside down. Let's pretend...Lengkap
Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!Lengkap
