Adversity||18+

What's home, if not the first place you run away from? What's love, if not that unexplainable, blazing feeling which comes after a period of hate?

Reputable for her catchy appearance, her over-niceness, her obsession with cartoon animations and her grandfather's eagerness to marry her off, Alaina's a workaholic, immigrant doctor with certain issues, who has forced herself to abandon the concept of love due to her parents' past relationship, despite the many blind dates which her eccentric family members force her on.

One hot afternoon at her workplace, she accidentally bumps into the rudest man on the planet and spills milkshake on him. Davian Ash. Mr. Asshole. A wealthy businessman with a dirty past and tons of secrets, whom fate interweaves into her destiny without her consent.

His Wildfire eyes frighten her. Her big, brown eyes infuriate him. His arrogance catches her off-guard each time. Her smart mouth pisses him off just as much as it turns him on. His beastly demeanor draws her in rather than repulses her. Her quirky attitude irks him.

They both dislike each other, and they know it, but still, they find each other insanely attractive.

These emotions intensify furiously however, when she takes someone from him and is forced into proximity with him as his revenge for her carelessness.

Regardless of the fact that he destroys Alaina's life and treats her like shit over and over again, she can't stop herself or her subconscious from fan-girling over the beast and wanting explicit things from him.

She doesn't want to, and she tries so very hard to stop herself from becoming attached to a man who treated her just as bad as her dad did her mum...but when his brusque, impulsive and ungentlemanly layers are peeled off piece by piece, and all his secrets are revealed to her, barring a side of him to her which no one else on Earth knows exists, she proves everyone right once again on the subject of how weak-willed and spineless she truly is.

Or does she?
