My Protector by seattleghostwriter

With both of his hands to either side of me, he leaned closer, less than an inch away from my ear. I felt him take a breath and the hairs on the back of my neck instantly stood up, electricity running down my body.. "You're mine, don't you understand? How many times do I have to tell you this." he growled. I looked up at him, starting straight into his warm hazel eyes full of anger and lust. The one thing that made me fall in love with him in the first place... But I wasn't going to admit that. Loren was carefree, kind, and forgiving. When she broke up with her boyfriend of 6 years, she vowed to stay single until she learned to love herself. What will she do when she meets Killian, the one person who could care less about this vow? Killian was the arrogant CEO of the largest investment firm in Seattle.

𝗫𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗮 was blessed with intelligence, beauty, and courage. She had a good life with her parents, and because of her flawless skin and beautiful figure, her mother made her a model. At first, she didn't want to, but she couldn't resist when her mother started crying in front of her. She was perfect-a perfect woman who drove men crazy, even from other countries. But it was only her body that they desired. Many famous men courted her, but none lasted long because every time someone tried, she challenged them to a fight. At the beginning, they were reluctant, and some still accepted the challenge, but in the end, they lost and she won. However, one day, out of envy, she died. She never thought that her mother's own friend would end her peaceful life. She knew how to fight and could kill. She was one of the best, having mastered judo, taekwondo, and other martial arts. She was a girl skilled in using weapons. She had killed many people. But she stopped all that because she wanted to live in peace with her parents. When her mother found out the good news, she didn't hesitate to hold a celebration. That night, there was a big party. Others were surprised by how sudden the celebration was, but they didn't question it. Even though they didn't know what the celebration was about, they still attended. But the celebration her mother organized was stained with her own blood. It was the night she was killed by her mother's friend to end her peaceful life. That's why she deeply regretted choosing to let go of violence, especially knowing it was a crime. But what she didn't expect was that she survived. She lived on, in another body and another world-the world of a demin female lead, who was her favorite character from her favorite book. The woman named 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗮 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘇𝘆 is the demon woman from the book. STARTED : MAY 30 2023
