"You're not special, you know that right?" She taunted. A sadistic smirk enveloped my poised lips, "Is that so?" I indulge, placing the cigar between my lips and bringing the lighter to the end of the object. A small chuckle left her lips before she drew me in with a simple look, "You're exactly the same as the other, old and perverted men who come to this very club... small dick... big ego.." She taunted. "Big dick, big ego..." I correct, "I'm no pervert... you want me much more than I want you.." She laughs once more, "Trust me princess... if it weren't for the money you happen to give me, I wouldn't come within a mile radius of the likes of you, and by the way... people who have to tell you they have a big dick, never do... like ever..." Maeve Valentine, the bane of life itself. British to the core, with the ego of a man. Beautifully broken some might call her, her friends were her only family. A feminist head to toe, she takes no shit from anyone. A professional dancer, a stripper some might call her, it didn't matter at the end of the day, money is money no matter where it comes from. Santiago Russo, a heritage as complicated as his past, with an ever-growing ego. Born and raised in the heart of Las Vegas, he knew his way of the city. Professionally scorned, he was his only family. Trust no one, lose no one, that was what he lived by. A professional, and international assassin, at just 25 years old, he was a billionaire, and extremely professional about it. Money is money no matter where it comes from. Your business is your own...

I Won't Fall For You✔ de nickaylatoday

He grabbed my arm before pushing me until I was up against the fridge. I tried to pull away but he held my wrists and placed them over my head. I was about to knee him but he gave me a 'don't even think about it' look. He brought his lips to my ear and I felt my body shiver. I was debating whether I should knee him or not when he spoke. "I don't like being challenged vanessa, I thought I told you that before". ~~~~~~ She wasn't suppose to make his heart beat irregularly, but she did. She did something to him that he couldn't quite figure out. All he knew was that she was no lady, if anything, she was the furthest from that word. She was nothing compared to him and there was no way he would get involved with her. Well, that's what he thought. ~~~~~~ Vanessa never thought after all those years, she would come back into contact with the guy who once ruined her life. Well, he was back and to make matters worst, he refused to leave her alone. What happens when she meets the one and only 'Mordechai Lenetti' who is the owner of Lenetti's House of Essence and a multi billionaire at that too? He was a stern and well organised man who smiled only when necessary. He definitely didn't like to be challenged especially by low status people.He didn't care for anyone but himself and his family ; not even the woman who warmed his bed ever dared to cross him. Vanessa was offered a Job by his mother and having no choice, she took it. All she wanted was the money to leave the city and not to get involved with the hot and arrogant jerk who was now her boss. He knew there was something about her, and he was going to satisfy his curiosity. A twisted romance filled with love, lies and deceit. Sit back or relax in your bed, while I take you on a wild adventure😉 [UNEDITED]

His Escape de jezxzica

He circles back in front of me. I only get to admire him for a few more seconds before my new interest is out of sight. I assume that's what he's trying to make himself to me... An interest. Too bad it's working. "If I lie?" "Luis will get a lot more from you than a kiss, or maybe Josiah will get a piece of the action." I believe the Luis part if they let him, but not the kid. "And why not you?" His breath frightens me when it hits against the right side of my face, "Because that won't be much of a punishment, will it?" he says into my ear. If his goal is to make me nervous, he's doing a scarily good job. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever since Valeria Osorio was little, she was always taught how important it was to stick with family. That lesson's purpose was to soften the reality of never being able to escape from the Cartel. Doing so was supposed to be a mistake, but it was no fault that her and Aleksandr crossed paths. Intelligent is an insult to his genius, as is attractive to his breathtaking looks. Turns out that she's not so different from him and the ones meant to be her foes. After a life of darkness, straying from her roots becomes the new pinnacle of her journey. The "mistake" of an escape she made will turn her life around for the better... Or so she hopes. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Word count: 188,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!

Treating Mr. Billionaire de Newmagical

[FORMERLY KNOWN AS 'MY HEALER'] A business arrangement between a personal doctor and her billionaire patient begins to turn into something more complicated when an unforeseen spark starts flickering between these two contrasting beings. *** Thirteen months in a coma changes Jayden Stanley into the most arrogant and detached person that ever exists. With an urgent need to disconnect from the world and his aggressive mood disorder, he only wants to be isolated in his room so he can wallow in misery without having to interact with anyone. Predictably, when a medical physician, Maria Patterson, is assigned to tend to him in the comfort of his home, he can not be more displeased for the 'unneeded disturbances'. In his plan to get rid of the doctor who is nothing but a pest to him, he acts unimaginably cold toward her and basically expresses his hatred in every possible way. However, despite his disrespectful and indifferent attitude, Maria always finds herself crawling back to his regal estate with high hope for his recovery, because she can sense that there is this delicate soul hidden deep beneath his frosty exterior. Gradually, as she attends to him, she slowly starts to see the cracks in his iron shell, realizing that behind his dark façade lurks a wounded spirit. But that is not all. She also can't deny the warm feeling that starts to bloom under her touch: affection for Jayden, and she knows she is not the only one. ***

If only it was an Illusion! de Aafrynn

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent.

An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.
