"I'm going to ruin your family just like you've ruined everything I have." 

That summer, Anne Brown died along with her mother. That part of her was broken, adrift, and lost in the agonizing guilt that she couldn't save her from the grip of Bonnie Schnider, the woman who ruined her life. After her death, Anne was taken in by her wealthy grandparents in Yorkshire until she was twenty-three years old; Anne eventually moved to Richmond toward her dream of revenge. There, she met Liam Howle, a thirty-four-year-old surgeon, the Schnider pride, and the lover of the family's only daughter, Cindy Schnider. 

To get closer to them, Anne got a job at The Country Club in Westhampton, a private property where all the rich among the wealthy live their remaining luxurious lives, sharing the gossip of the elites. Anne was drawn inexorably into a narrowing, dangerous circle of the gentry.

"I don't care if it's your fight... because for you my love, only for YOU... I am ready to take all the pain, even the one that isn't meant for me," ---------------------------------------- Sitting in her car she made her way towards a specific place, a place where no living being wants to visit... at least till they are alive. Parking the car she stepped outside feeling the cold ground under her feet, with her trembling legs she made her way to a specific spot, she moved like a lifeless body, like a body without soul... falling on her knees... she screamed, a scream so loud, so painful that no one can imagine, she clenched her chest in a fist trying to ease the pain, but the burning sensation wasn't ready to calm anytime soon. "who did this to you?", "who could be such a monster to do this to you?" She asked with hopes, but... how can a greave speak?. She looked in front but everything was blocked by the tears in her eyes. Wiping her tears, she looked at the name engraved on it... 'WINTER ISABELLA PERKINS'. With a whisper she said, "I promise... promise to avenge your death... they will suffer, the same way you did". Standing up, she looked at the grave for the last time and spoke, "Now, I will only come here when I have given those monsters what they deserve, till then... please try to forgive me". She made her way outside while dialing someone's number on her phone. Within 4 rings the other side picked up, without waiting for a reply she ordered, "I want to shift my university branch from Orlin to GlenWood", "Why?" the other side asked, "I'll explain it to you later", "But it-" before the person could ask something she hung up. Starting the engine, she went back to her house with nothing but... VENGEANCE in her mind. ---------------------------------------- But how her life will turn, when someone unexpected becomes a part of her fight.

He watched from a distance as she played. Running through the park, chasing something from her imagination, he'd never seen her so happy. It was the day of her sixth birthday. Her long red hair and blue eyes along with her bright purple party dress caught the eyes of many visiting the park that day. He'd been watching her for weeks, he knew that today was the day. Should he go back without the girl, he'd surely be punished. With them was where she was meant to be. The girl wandered farther away from the crowd, dancing and spinning to music that only she could hear. The family was completely unaware, still preparing food on their picnic table. The girl's mother carefully placed six candles into the brightly frosted cake. They were distracted and he knew that it was time. She kneeled beside a tree picking clovers from the ground, out of sight of everyone. No one even even glanced in their direction. In only a second he was beside her. She didn't know what was happening until it was too late. He knew it was what he had to do. So he took her. ~ ~ ~ After twelve years of training in one of the most elite assassination groups in the world, Bella Price is returned to the life she was forced to forget.

She is thinking her life is over. However is it over? This is Samantha Addams, daughter of a former American diplomat now ambassador of an American embassy in a foreign country. What is she meeting within facing the most feared facts of life? "stop resisting Samantha. You want this I can tell," Raising my head. I look up to stare into those capturing ocean-like eyes that are trying to offer what I think I want but at the same time, I don't think I do. "I don't know Kai," I say in my small voice trying hard to not stutter with my words. I feel one of his fingers under my chin raising my head to look up at him and I find myself drowning in his ocean-like eyes "You do know sweetheart." He says looking straight into my eyes while grinning down at me. I find myself again not being able to pull away from staring at his lips and when he catches where my attention is, he smirks. I turn my gaze away quickly when I am caught staring but that makes him chuckle. I turn my head to the side but I feel the tips of his lips lingering beside my cheek, all the way to my ear. His hot breath on my skin brings goosebumps on my skin while the hairs on my skin stand. "I know you hate this place princess and I also know that you don't want to make good memories here but try me sweetheart, and I will make you feel like you are back home in America."

Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders.
