He saw the ring was on her right hand. He watched as she looked down at, then twisted it around her finger as looked back up at Tokyo's night sky.

"Why do you still wear that?"

She turned to face him.

"As a reminder."

"Of what?"

He came closer to her then reached for her hand. He eyed the ring. 

"Of the mistake I made."

His eyes darted to hers.

Steffy Forrester was sent to Tokyo, Japan to learn about business and get a better grasp of it. When she was set to return, she would take over her family's fashion house, Forrester Creations.

For six months she learned, watched, and observed everything around her. It was during this time she grabbed the attention of the Chairman and CEO of Nakamura Tech, Pierce Nakamura, by going up against one of his hard nosed executives.

After that day, they spent as much time as they could together, getting to know each other in more ways then one. Steffy's six months in Tokyo ended faster then either of them realized. Before she left he vowed to always be there for her no matter what. 

Two years went by and they still kept in touch. Even after she became engaged to Liam Spencer, he was still there ready to step in. Little did Steffy know, she was going to need him more then ever.

"And do you think lying to me again would make me stay." I was taken back by her question. "Lying to you? When did I ever..." "Cut the crap Dylan, I saw you. That night in your office. I saw the marks..." Taking her hand I placed it against my chest. "It's not what you think. Nothing happened that night believe me." "And why should I?" "What?" ***** "You are wrong. I don't feel anything about her. She is nothing compared to you." ***** "Dylan," she removed herself from me, "I don't think I can take all this emotional roller coaster ride. Before sure I admit I was struggling to make means end but my heart didn't endure this much pain when I'm with you." What is she saying? "What are you telling me?" Taking her hand she removed the ring from her fingers, "I can't marry you, I'm sorry."
You Would Never Know by KaraJulene

Ignoring the dreariness that followed her, she left everything behind and drowned herself in a lifestyle that consisted of constant jet lag and days of sleepless nights. And deep down, she was aware her only survival mechanism was to run away and not look back, even if all she wanted to do was take one more glance at the one who was deserving of a stargazer, not a withering being with nebulous ideas for salvation. After nearly a decade of evasion, Dali realizes this isn't the place she's supposed to be and decides to take a leap of faith back to where everything started, not knowing that she'd be busy unraveling the web of lies created by the unexpected. Maybe it's because love, lies, and loyalty blend well in high society; you can't even decipher who's a friend and who's a foe.

"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair. "You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice. Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!! "Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him. "Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes. "Is she-" "The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock. "Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped. This is not good....this is so not good!!! ••• Can be read as a standalone. Highest ranking #1 in gangs #1 in partners #1 in theshadows

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you. I would die for you and you clearly wouldn't do the same." - Trinity's planner didn't originally have "falling in love with Aaron Florence" on it, but after a heated night and multiple dates, it became a daily thing. That is until, she learns about what he does for work. She knew he worked with Reid Laurent, but she didn't know about what they did. Ambitious, Aaron Florence is willing to do anything to finish a work task, or mission, even if it puts his loved ones in danger. And it did. Now, terrified and pregnant, Trinity doesn't know what to do, how can she co-parent with the man who claimed to protect her at all costs but didn't? - scandalous © r3mismylove 2022 all rights reserved

"Fuck, why do you always make things so hard Rayne?" he stood there with an intense frown on his face. "What do you mean Spencer?" I crossed my arms. "You always run away," he now held a sad face. I was hesitant. "We both know this will never work let alone the consequences" He walked closer and lifted my chin, forcing me to look at him. "I could care less about the damn outcome." he made direct eye contact with me. "I- I think I fucking love you." Rayne has always been the golden child of the family, always tamed but not yet impressed with the opening of her life. Spencer is just an average professor (you'd think) Spencer loves teaching and helping people grow but yet he's so mysterious when he's off campus. ***NEEDS MAJOR EDITING***
