Don't Leave Me
"Stand up.", he said to me. "What?", I asked confused. "STAND UP.", he ordered slightly aggressive. I quickly got up from the bed and stood in front of him. "Take off your underwear.", he demanded. "Wh-" "Now." Doing what he told me to I slowly slipped my underwear off. I was now completely naked as his eyes roamed over my whole body again. "Lay down on your back." Once again I obeyed him without talking back this time which caused him to smirk. Then he grabbed my hands and cuffed them to the bed frame. My eyes widened and as I was about to ask him what he's doing he held up one of his hands. Understanding his signal I remained silent. "Good girl", he whispered in my ear. ------------------- Emily Potters, a 21 year old girl, had to run away from her dark past. Seeking shelter in New York, she battled her way through the darkness.

A Vegas Mishap (#2)
I stared at the person sitting on the chair in front of me. That instant I realised that I didn't know this person at all. This was not the person I have been living with. This person just looked like that person. There was nothing same except the looks. The pose, the expression, the emotions in the voice, nothing matched. I couldn't believe that it is the same person. "Doesn't mean anything?" I asked with a low voice as anger filled me. "Yes, it was only a Vegas Mishap." ********************************************************************************** When Ophelia Russo traveled from Italy to the United States, she had no idea what was going to happen to her. Wanting to forget all her worries and the stress of managing a fast growing business, one night she finds herself in a bar in Las Vegas, and in the company of the very handsome businessman, Ethan Welsh, who himself is on a vacation for a break from his womanizing life in Greece. Two hot people, one lively night in Vegas and a few drinks down, what do you expect to happen? No, no. If it was just a one night stand that had happened, it wouldn't have been this bad. What had actually happened was no less than the worst nightmare for Ethan and Ophelia. Suddenly, it becomes more than just a vacation for the Italian girl and the Greek man when they wake up married to each other. What follows is a love story, you think? It's a messed-up destiny, I bet. After all, it can't be just A Vegas Mishap. ************************************************************************************************** Warning: Contains mature scenes and swearing.
