(A short story)

NOTE: I do not own the photo on the book cover. Credits to the rightful owner of it. 


Darkness contrasts with light. White from black. Day and evening. Yesterday differs from tomorrow. Hate stems from love. On a daily basis, you meet across completely opposed occurrences like these. It seems that polar opposites do attract... they say.

What about the saying, "The more you hate, the more you love"? Amy Villafuerte, an exceptional sensation who is a total people-pleaser, couldn't believe that the person she used to openly loathe was the man she would spend the rest of her life with.

Drawn together by both of their renowned families, Amy, as the way she is, couldn't say no, while Uno Gavilantes, an accomplished self-made businessman who is her complete opposite, proceeded to pursue her when he returned to her life.

What was once a certain facade of passion became a puzzling notion as it became to be genuine.

But it won't harm to try again. Will love be sweeter the second time around for them? Or will it be a bittersweet experience, as before? Will they go against all odds this time? Or become a coward once more and hide beneath their never-ending facade?

**In the heart of Nainital, where wealth whispers and power reigns, two titans of privilege collide.** M is the heiress to a business empire that spans continents, a brilliant beauty whose every move is watched, envied, and admired. She has always had everything-except a true rival. Until now. J is the scion of a family whose fortune is so old, it's practically a legend. Educated abroad, he returns to India with a reputation for brilliance and an arrogance to match. His arrival at St. Benedict's Academy sets tongues wagging and hearts racing-but no one more so than M. When they first meet, sparks fly-but not the kind you'd expect. In the halls of the prestigious academy, they become instant rivals, each determined to outdo the other in a battle of wits, ambition, and pride. Their clashes are legendary, their enmity fierce, and everyone knows the only question is: who will come out on top? But beneath the surface of their rivalry, something darker and more thrilling begins to brew-an attraction neither can deny, a passion that threatens to consume them both. What starts as a fight for dominance soon turns into a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and surrender. In a world where love is a luxury and power is everything, M and J must navigate the treacherous waters of desire and deception. As they get closer, they realize that the real battle isn't against each other-but against their own hearts. **Enemies by day. Lovers by night. But when the line between hate and love blurs, can they find a way to be both?** **In this electrifying tale of rivalry, romance, and ruthless ambition, nothing is off-limits-and everything is at stake.**

COMPLETED. "Look, if you're-" "Shut up." I was taken back at the sudden manner in which he spoke to me. "Let's get something straight Miss Greene, I don't appreciate people talking back at me. And quite frankly, you're crossing your limit with me and my patience with you. So from now on, as long as you're with me you'll do as I say. Understood?" _____________________________________________ Mystery. Romance. Deception. You know what they say, hate is a strong emotion- so is love. You can only hate someone you place in high esteem since you care about what they think. When Juliet Greene secures an internship position at the Empire Heights hotel, and things seem to be finally going her way, a brief encounter causes her life to turn upside down. Getting in the way of the hostile, unfeeling, yet wickedly magnetic billionaire Adrian Vandermir, Julie suddenly gets thrown into a situation that's too much for her to handle. Wanting to have little to do with this and the infuriating Vandermir, she none the less convinces herself that his decisions would be best for her family's own safety. But when things begin to get out of hand, she discovers that she has more to do with the dangerous situation Adrian is involved in than she or anyone else could ever imagine. In the hopes of ending the matter, both must endure each other's company as they take a trip together which reveals unbearable past secrets and irresistible desires.

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.
