"On June 5, at 4:45pm, I will be hit by a bus.
On June 5, at 9:05am, I get hit by a door."
Malika is a recent college graduate in desperate need of a job (and health insurance). The corporate world, however, is not what she expected.
Two satirically different companies offer her financial security, but one offer comes at the price of her life and the other comes at the price of her soul.
How can she possibly choose? Can't she just never get sick and not need health insurance or something?
Does anyone actually like their job, anyway?

Trapped In Love ✓
"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*Completa

I mean seriously, you decide to come into my life after you killed Mom and now you expect me to be with open arms, saying, 'Oh, it's fine. You just killed my mother then lied about it for 5 years.' Do you even know how much that hurt? Standing side by side with a fucking murderer then...you fucking know what happened" "You're being dramatic, just like your mother," Ezra rolled his eyes. I scoff. "You know what, just go and do what you do best. Leave." I told him. I turn around making my way to the door but something stops me. "Henry Hart" I turn back around and look at my father. "What?" "Henry Hart. Your little boyfriend" I walk towards Ezra while saying, "If you touch him or even be within a 5 feet radius of him, I will fucking kill you. I most definitely don't want to see you, you pathetic excuse of a man" "You are just like your mom. An insane little bitch" "Well...being insane is in the family heritage. You should know that considering how 'I'm just like my mother'. Well, you're wrong, I'm not like Mom...I would never marry an asshole like you"Completa
