There is one thing that all of humanity has in relationship to each other - whether your gender, class, background, family, or race - and that is death. Both in the way of losing other beings, and eventually being one of those beings to be lost.
If there is one thing that Adan Pearson now knows all too well - it is loss.
Ada is a girl content in the shadow of her older sister Anni, but when her sister tragically dies in a car accident, her comfort disappears, and her world quickly falls apart. In the wake of Anni's death, all of Ada's friendships and relationships seem to be falling apart - the only person holding her together is her unexpected former best friend.
Vanderbilt Grey is the only child of two powerful people - one being in the FBI and the other being an all-American MVP NFL player. He has grown up with no struggles - at least, that is what the world assumes. In reality, he has never been able to get the attention he needs from his parents, and it has caused him a hatred that pushes anyone and everyone away.
Will he be able to save her from herself? Or will the death of her sister be the end of both the Pearson sisters?

A Stranger To Him
This book needs editing, the first chapters aren't very good, but the story gets better as you read on! There was only one thing that Amelia White needed to do. Be invisible and never draw the attention of five boys. She has been avoiding them ever since she knew who they were, and she's not planning to be part of the game those boys play. At least, that was the plan until her feet changed it for her. Bumping into Caine Williams is not exactly the way you stay unnoticeable for those boys. She detests an emotionless, narcissistic, and selfish asshole. He's the most attractive boy she's ever seen, but he has a terrible personality. Everything just seems like a joke to him. Hopefully, this journey of heated conversations and stupid fights turns out to be positive, and there's no need for any more hearts to shatter. Nevertheless, bad boys are unpredictable and dangerous, and there will be no insurance for broken hearts and unfixable relationships. But there's no need for insurance if the hate Amelia feels towards him is stronger than the tiny piece of possible love she feels in her heart, right? Caine will definitely regret opening the chase on her when he finds out it's not worth it. At least, that was what Amelia thought. Bumping into Caine Williams was certainly not the plan. That's the only thing that's for sure. Amelia knows that she can say goodbye to the plan of staying invisible, thanks to her clumsiness, and she'll have to say hello to his world with trouble and problems. You didn't think he would let her be, now would you? ©JosephineFlorence, All rights reservedComplete![I Loved You Blindly [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/161118475-256-k385099.jpg)
