A ruthless CEO. A struggling student. A contract that was never supposed to mean anything more. But what happens when lines blur and emotions get in the way?
Will they walk away unscathed, or will they end up breaking the very rules they swore to follow?
____________________________________________________________________
Jean-Martin Ferrer has spent his life building an empire. His ruthless efficiency has earned him both admiration and fear. With no patience for distractions-especially love-he sees relationships as nothing more than liabilities.
But when his grandfather's will drops an ultimatum-marry or lose everything-Jean-Martin suddenly finds himself cornered by the very thing he's always avoided.
Natalie Francisco is barely holding it together.
By day, she's a student.
By night, she juggles multiple part-time jobs-barista, tutor, waitress-anything to keep the lights on and food on the table. But no matter how hard she works, it's never enough. The debt left by her late mother's illness continues to bury her like quicksand she can't crawl out of. Every missed payment is like a ticking bomb. And when the threats start targeting her family, Natalie knows she's run out of time.
Desperation leads her to the last thing she ever thought she'd consider. Becoming an escort.
One night. One client. That's all it's supposed to be.
But when the door opens, it's not a stranger waiting-it's Jean-Martin Ferrer. The man she never expected to see again.

The Ruthless Game
I've always been a big fan of yours. You're loved by many, owned by no one. I've always known you were meant to be admired from afar, but never to have... You are a star, I'm an average Jane. You are a prince, I am no princess... It was okay. It was never an issue. I knew what my priorities were. Love is a distraction that I didn't want. I was perfectly happy with my own run of the mill world. But then you came when I was least expecting you to. You gave me affection, unconditional love, and every thing a woman would certainly fall for... I got scared, but you assured me time and again that I had nothing to be afraid of. Said you would never let me down and that I was the last person that you'd want to see hurt. You were there when I fell. You became my world. I became yours... Ours was like a fairy tale. Perfect. We were so in love... So in love that I thought nothing could ever come between us. But then... she happened... She turned our fairy tale into a night mare. In a snap of a finger, the once perfect love became nonexistent. You felt so far even if you were just right beside me... I tried to fight for what we once had... But how can I fight for someone who wasn't there anymore? I don't know which I would rather believe... that you never did care... or that you eventually stopped. -Some Chapters contain mature content.Concluida![Nothing Absolutely Makes Sense [The Heirs I]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/269006883-256-k313877.jpg)
Nothing Absolutely Makes Sense [The Heirs I]
Cerys keeps dreaming of lives in different eras, and part of her believes they are not just dreams but memories of lives she has already lived, lifetimes where she meets the same man again and again. And now, she lives as the heir to Montclair Sciences, a multinational biotechnology and pharmaceutical corporation on the edge of collapse. With enemies circling and expectations closing in, the last thing Cerys needs is dreaming of a man grieving as she dies in his arms. Determined to prepare for the role she will soon inherit, Cerys enrolls in a university where she can live quietly as an ordinary student. That's where she meets Yi-an, the brilliant and composed son of one of the most powerful families in the country, living the same low-profile life she hoped for. The dreams suddenly feel less like fantasies and more like memories, because his face and his voice mirror the man she sees in her sleep. But then she met his group of friends, and something unsettled her more. Ron, Yi-an's sharp-tongued best friend. The troublemaker who seems utterly indifferent to her presence yet somehow keeps her constantly on edge. He is not the man from her dreams, and yet, every instinct in Cerys tells her he matters more than he should. Because if her dreams point to Yi-an... Why in the world does her heart keep choosing Ron instead?
Bachelor Series #5:Smitten(UNDER REVISION)

So many emotions that makes me feel alive, it empties my mind, leaving only you to think about every passing second without fail. . ." Tyson Martin. A ruthless man with a cold heart, in a hot exterior. He's someone who isolates himself, trusting no one but himself. He never allows any emotion or weakness to surface in front of others. He's a man driven by revenge. Everything was going according to plan, until he caught a glimpse of a woman with the most angelic face he had ever laid his eyes on-his friend's sister he has to protect. Leigh Irish Alvarez, a girl with an innocent charm, hidden to the world her whole life. She, who trusts easily, plays a lot, and drives him to the brink of insanity with her innocence. In contrast to him, she is like a tiny rabbit, lost in a monster's den. Tyson was a man who could obtain anything he desired with a mere snap of his fingers. A man who never ran out of plans and is always one step ahead with everything. But he sure didn't expect nor planned for that sweet girl to just suddenly squeeze into his life, infiltrating his defenses the moment he let his guard down. And the worst part was that he couldn't kick her out of his system, the moment she entered it like a curse, no matter how much he tried. For the first time in his life, Tyson found himself without a plan, surrendering to the inexplicable pull and allowing himself to foolishly fall deeper under the spell of this girl's innocent charm.Concluida
Submissive Assassin Book 2 (BxB)
"I know I killed a close friend of yours but I'll be honest and say, I'm in with love you. Lucius will probably try to kill me, Nate and Dante would never accept me, Cesar will torture me if he catches me, and I don't think you'd ever forgive me either, but you know what?" He shrugged his shoulders as he reached for Charles' jaw, tilting his head to the side and examining his quivering blue eyes that resembled his father's way too much. His thumb slid across the tape over Charles' lips that were sealed shut underneath. "I don't care if I need to hide underground in a bunker for the rest of my life, I want to be with you and I'm not going to let any of them stop me, and that includes yourself. So how about you stop fighting those restraints and kiss me the same way you did last night, remember?" Nineteen-year-old Charles Kennedy never thought his life would be thrown in such turmoil.

However, he never thought that one of them would be killed by the leader of a powerful upcoming troop. Even worse, he never thought that leader would fall in love with him? And what happens when he falls in love back? Does he choose his family or his soulmate? How is he supposed to avenge the death of his family friend when it's the love of his life that he needs to kill?

The New Mafia Boss (Under Revisions)
"The past always finds a way to catch up." The rain hammered the streets, but she barely noticed. She was too focused on the weight in her chest-the weight of everything she was trying to escape. She'd left the past behind. At least, that's what she'd convinced herself. When she walked into the room, the tension hit her immediately. The cold stares from everyone around the table made her skin crawl, but it was the figure at the head of the table that stopped her in her tracks. Him. Her ex. The man who had torn her world apart, the one she'd tried so hard to forget. But there he was, sitting casually with an air of power, as if nothing had ever changed. Her heart skipped a beat. She wasn't ready for this. Not now, not here. He looked up, his eyes locking onto hers. There was a flicker of recognition, something almost soft, but it vanished just as quickly. She couldn't breathe. The past had found her. "Didn't expect you to show up," he said, his voice as cold as ever. And just like that, everything she thought she had left behind came rushing back.Concluida
