Falling For Bad (completed 🔥) by Amaranthineist

Madeline Bloom is clumsy, complex, and bright; all the while dripping in sex appeal. The 22 year old, seemingly oblivious of her looks has her sights on her dreams and goals and making something of herself. But being the daughter of a wealthy business tycoon that runs the streets of the business world has its fair share of challenges. When her job in the New York requires her to go out of her comfort zone she is faced with new challenges, more than ever before and begins to question her decisions and future choices. Her life is uprooted and riddled with tough decisions involving the mind and heart. Nathan Lane is the boy your parents warned you about and is taking the world by storm. With a rising business empire, Nathan Lane is not your average 24 year old New York native. With a smart, aloof and intimidating exterior his looks seal the deal. What many don't know is that added to his tough exterior lies a powerful and dominating man with a complicated past. When the first girl that catches his eye is a tough and interesting catch he ignores his rules and tries his hand in uncharted waters, abandoning his previous notions and beliefs. Follow them as they navigate through trials and tribulations as they reflect the epiphany of what it's like to... Are they just playing with fire or are they going to get burnt? ***** And a second later he pushed his face onto mine and planted a kiss on my lips. It was hard, and not romantic at all, very forceful but I didn't stop him. It was short lived one so I regained my senses fairly late and when I did, I realized that I was kissing a stranger or that a stranger was kissing me. "Stop," I pulled back and moved my head, "I hardly know you." Nathan fixed his suit, "I couldn't hold back, it was involuntary." "Nathan this is strictly business. Anymore and it could ruin my job." "Did you not say that you didn't like your job?" ~Includes some adult scenes ~Trigger Warning ⚠️ (2k16-19) *****

Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes.

Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end. • 4-Year Age Gap • Dual POV • Morally Grey Billionaire x sunshine Spy Reviews: Book so good made me question my past life and past choices of books -thesaphireeyez I am blown away.

" He said. Yes, he answered me. But why was he behaving this way? I moved towards him and stood in front of him. I just can't get what this means? Was this fake? Why? What did I do to deserve this? " I c-can't understand anything," I said slowly. I just wish this comes out to be a fake thing. All of this a joke. I helplessly looked towards him. He was quiet and looked emotionless. I felt scared of his behavior for the first time. This is not true. It can't be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Briar Eliza Shah or Eliza Joseph is a 19 years old girl - she does have a lot of DARK secrets from the horrible past.
