"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.

Michelle Carpenter, or Dart as she likes to be called, is an advanced spy. She is hired for many things. The main being following drug addicts, snapping a few pictures and then reporting them to the police. But every once in a while, she gets a job from a suspicious wife or girlfriend who's afraid their husband is cheating on them. She doesn't like the job very much, mostly because she has to take pictures of the man and some random girl "getting it on", but she finds out that she has a new client. And not just any client, Scarlet Payne. Wife to Liam Payne, famous musician, for fifteen years. Dart can't pass up the offer and sets out to destroy Liam, for the money and also a little for the hate she has for him. But while on the job, something goes wrong and her whole plan comes to a halt. Read to see what stops her. (Note: In this story Liam is not part of One Direction, he is a solo artist and, as you could tell, is married. The members of One Direction will come in the story at few times though.)
