I never wanted to be splashed across the front pages of newspapers, or have a barrage of hungry paparazzi behind every move I make. I never wanted to be in spotlight, most of all, never wanted red spray paint of X's placed across my face in an angry fangirl's bedroom.
Aaron Herrington came like a hurricane, obstructing everything in his path, to intervene with me and mine, just so he could have his way.
There isn't supposed to be a happy-ending to what we have. Only happy-for-now exists when you always have reporters hounding your private and picking apart your life.
My love for Aaron is all but simple, and I don't think I could ever be happy with a for-now mentality. Even when my devilish prince tells me it will all be okay, I know it won't.
Lia Russo was never supposed to be written in the headlines alongside the name of Crown Prince Aaron Herrington, even when I'd give my all to be beside him, because my all could never be enough.

Disaster-in-Waiting NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON AMAZON
WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it.

He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"Complete
