As heiress of Horan Holdings, a disgraced press company, Clare Horan moves to another school in her senior year of high school after losing her temper against a classmate.
That's when she meets Elliot Lockwood, son of a mega tycoon.
With winning smiles and a handsome face that turns many heads, Elliot is loved by everyone in school.
But Clare knows Elliot for who he is- a boy who sees people as tools, and a boy who cares for no one- even himself. Someone she should stay away from.
The pair end up in a relationship of give-and-take- to find out the truth behind the disappearance of Elliot's mother and the suspicious grounds on which Clare's father was put in prison for.
But soon enough, Clare sees Elliot for who he really is behind his charming smiles, quick wits and manners- a boy with unexplained bruises, a boy merely used as publicity tool of his adoptive family, and possibly, a boy who's running out of time- to live.
The story of Clare and Elliot. Clare, the crazy but sweet and Elliot, the sweet but crazy.

He was quiet for a moment, and then, slowly, shifted his head slightly and pressed his lips against my neck.
Fuck. My insides seemed to melt. By my sides, my fingers slackened.
"You want the shameless type or the bashful type?" Pulling his head away from my shoulder, Elliot straightened. Gently shifting his cap up, he looked at me, grinning. "You tell me what you want. I'll do just that."

"My strategy was to make you pity me, so that you'll help me more actively." Elliot smiled faintly. "But it kinda feels like shit, with you looking at me like that."
"Like what?"
"Like you sincerely sympathize with me."

He was one, and now there were two. One with a pierced nose, the other without. They were so identical that no one could tell them apart. But then there was me.****** At Dale's High in Singapore, the brothers were impossibly handsome and perfectly identical. Wherever they went, alone or together, people couldn't help but stare, whispering about their charm, charisma, and impeccable fashion sense. Billionaires and heirs to the Red Dynasty in Asia, their presence commanded attention without even trying. Dale's High wasn't just a school; it was a sanctuary for the ultra-wealthy. Even the middle class dreamed of being admitted. With state-of-the-art facilities, world-class learning systems, and a reputation that held the number-one spot globally for twenty-three years, the school was a crowning achievement of the Red Dynasty empire, a dynasty built on oil, gold mining, and countless other ventures. The company was so prestigious that even the most connected struggled to get a single job there. The Red Dynasty had been meticulously built over thirty years by its founder, now in his sixties, a man whose name was known across continents.

And when feelings started to stir, Sophia would discover the brutal truth: in a world where she couldn't tell them apart, being caught between them wasn't just dangerous, it was intoxicating..

She said as we glared at one another. "Why?" I let out a manicing laugh. "You can't accept the fact that things didn't work out your way this time around can you?" I asked daringly at her. "Fuck it!" Abigail cursed out losing her shit as paced about the room running her hands through her hair frustratingly. "I knew you were jealous of me from the very start because you're a fucking piece of loser Anita but I never knew you were such a hater." She yelled. Anger surged through me as I slammed her hard into the wall trapping her as I held her shoulders against the wall firmly. "You may think you're better than me but that doesn't give you the right to talk down on me." I said through gritted teeth. "Well suck it in bitch!"

Business And Hopelessness
"Your hair is full of snow," He chuckled as he looked at her, reaching out to push a strand of hair behind her ear. Some snow successfully fell off her, but he didn't withdraw his hand. He cupped her cheek, wiping away a few snowflakes from it. She was frozen, staring at him like a deer caught in headlights, her heart pounding in her chest. Then, raising his other hand, he cupped her cheeks fully. His eyes began to trace every inch of her face; her eyes, her cheeks, her nose, before his gaze dropped to her lips. Her heart skipped a beat as she tried to keep herself together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seventeen-year-old Valentina Barron doesn't have the most ideal home life.

Heather's life is the perfect definition of messy, though she carries more than she seems. Plus, having an unlivable sister such as Alana - who by the way has a crush on Eliott, life has no plans to be fair anytime soon. Eliott is that one hot, cute and handsome guy girls can't stop thinking about who somehow manages to get under Heather's skin every single chance he gets, despite Alana's existence. And though they've known each other since kindergarten, they spend most of their time arguing over nonsense. And now, as if sharing the same high school wasn't already enough, they are coworkers at a small coffee shop. Then comes a night. One unlucky night. When Eliott had the brilliant idea to crash his lips on Heather's during a lame game called 'Truth or Dare' at no one else but Alana's birthday. And that's when things start getting spicier - even dangerously complicated. .... "I really should go, now," I say as if something else - or rather someone, was holding me in this car. "Yeah," he mutters. "It's late. Eve will sue you if you don't show up in time." "Oh - so you're not...like...going to ask me to stay longer?" "Is that what you're waiting from me?" "No - yeah, but I mean...that's kind of your thing. You know...getting under my skin," I mutter. His hands tighten on the steering wheel and he stares back straight ahead. "The thought crossed my mind," he just let go smoothly. As if these words didn't cost anything to me. As if it didn't cost my sanity. "But if I let it win..." his voice goes low, rough, deep and honest. "I might not stop myself this time. And I fear that even this car wouldn't be enough to hold me." Then he turns to look at me again, his hands still unmoving. "If I ask you to stay, I won't take you home. Not even back to my place. I'll take you right here, in this car, on your seat or in the backseat if required. And I'll make sure to make you feel everything I feel right right now."
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect.
