Trapped In Love ✓
"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25.

Outloved
**Part of Preloved Series- Can be read as a stand-alone** You don't have to read Preloved or Beloved in order to read this book. You can read this story on its own but my personal advice would be to read Preloved and Beloved first if you haven't already, but it's completely up to you guys! ---------------------------------------------------------- Love. A four letter word that holds so much feelings and promises. A word that puts all your emotions into one syllable and when we say it to that special someone, this word becomes the biggest truth of our life. With this word we share our life with someone else, someone we trust, someone we can't imagine our life without. So join me and let's experience it together. Let's witness another tale of love which tells a beautiful, whimsical story of a girl named Haya who was not expecting to fall in love with a boy quite like Irfan when she moves to Amsterdam for 4 months internship trip. She was not moving to search for a life, she already had a great life with no drama or heartbreaks... she wasn't running from anything. She just wanted to experience life a little more. Irfan shouldn't have been there. She wasn't ready for him. But he was there waiting for her. Or perhaps it was her own fate bringing her closer to him? Whether we call it fate or destiny or plan...when two people are meant to come together...universe conspires.Complete
