Marriage?
"huh...? what happened?" I spoke as he detached himself from me and suddenly just got up from the bed. He stood there for a second and ate up the space between him and the door with long strides. Seeing this, I got up as well. "Calvin, what's going on?" I asked, my tone firm. He stopped and looked at me - his eyes flashing regret and sorrow. "Bella...I'm sorry that I lost control over myself..." my eyes widened, "forget that all this ever happened." he went to leave, "Calvin! please! stop lying to yourself!!" Before I could say anything, the door was shut off on my face. ----------------- 𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑲 #1 𝒊𝒏 '𝑭𝑶𝑹𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹' 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 #2: '𝑴𝒚 𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒆' (work is in progress, soon to be uploaded) ╰┈➤ 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐒: • Love after marriage • Arranged married • Billionaire • Working Duo • Marriage of convenience ----------
Phoenix
My entire body felt on fire under his intense gaze. I tried my best to avoid eye contact as he towered over me, but once my eyes met his, the usual amber color of his orbs went darker and darker until they were now of a fervent brown shade and his pupils dilated drastically. The sight shocked me, causing goosebumps to rise all across my arms as electricity shot up my spine and my stomach erupted not in butterflies, but rather, I'd say in pterodactyls. It was both a terrifying and mesmeric sight... ___________________________________________ After being dared to kiss the first person to enter the dark room, 19 year old Essence later finds out that the person she kissed, 21 year old Phoenix, is her hand to hand combat trainer in her new assassin's school.

Everyone at Aptitude Academy has power within, and everyone in the school will either become brilliant, or be killed by the other students.

Despite the fact everyone seems to thing the savior is Alyssa, no one knows for sure, and one false attempt will destroy everything Aptitude Academy has ever known. You become brilliant or you get killed, or maybe both. Cover by: @Ari_forevComplete
