"Are you okay?" He sits on the floor against the glass wall where she was resting her back. They sat in two opposite directions.
"Are you?" Those two were all that took everything from him. Even his heart.
Lev Astor Venezio had everything in the world until one day Verity Laurant walked on his door asking for a job. A desperate need to start her life again without looking behind her past. But she couldn't. She was carrying the deep scars of her past to her future that even scared the soul of her.
"Ryan is forbidden from this place. You are safe here!" Lev stated from another side of a glass window. She said nothing and he continues his words. "I figured it out on my own. You weren't telling me so I did my homework!" He explained to her. She never said anything to him apart from that word. "I need this job!"
"I would be in my quarter." She says holding herself and walking back to a safe place she builds for herself leaving him alone in darkness and silence. He just sat there watching her leave him there. She didn't talk much to him.

Queen of the West
"You don't belong in this world of mine," Liam whispered, his lips inches from mine. "But I'm selfish, and I can't let you go." "I want to stay," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "I'm falling for you too, Liam." - I should be sneering, laughing even. How blind could he be? Liam Sterling-the killer, master manipulator, the ruthless, untouchable king of New York's underworld-brought to his knees by the one woman sworn to tear him apart. For years, revenge was all I had. Liam destroyed my family, tore my life apart, leaving me with nothing but rage. I rebuilt myself piece by piece, every step driven by the thought of making him pay. But then... I got close to him. Close enough to touch. His touch is fire, burning through every wall I've built. Each kiss, every stolen moment, weakens my defenses, awakening a need that terrifies me. How can I want him like this? Crave him, when every scar I carry is a reminder of all he's taken? I should hate him. I should destroy him. But when he looks at me, when he holds me like I'm something he needs to protect, I'm lost. And as I watch him break, all I feel is a strange, hollow ache where satisfaction should be. How can I keep fighting him, when I'm already falling, already broken, for the man I was supposed to ruin?
Start To End (COMPLETED)
"You're lying! She would never do such a thing." I was in denial as I shook my head repeatedly to clear my vision 'Stop please, do this at another time.'

He spoke tenderly eyeing me with his soft brown eyes as if I was a delicate rose captured inside a glass, ready to break apart at any given moment nowComplete
