Skylar ✔
❦ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇᴅ❦ "Why on earth would I stalk you?" He cocks a brow at me. This cocky fucker. "How would I know?" This conversation is getting nowhere. It only exhausted and annoyed me. "You should have checked the road properly before exhibiting the activity you were doing." His conceited tone and expression gives out no apologetic form. The nerves of this guy. "You should be the one apologizing for almost making me a murderer." He gestures his fingers to me. I scoff sarcastically. I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction of letting his words anger me any further and cause an unnecessary reaction. "You know what? I was actually thinking you'll be at least decent enough to apologise but I was wrong." I state calmly to him with a shrug. He doesn't reply but a flash of hurt runs through his eyes. I had nothing more to say. I turn around and started making my way back to my car. I don't spare him another glance before pulling out of the driveway. He may look like a forbidden creature, that can cause unholy thoughts to occur in someone's mind and body but I feel no effect, cause he's a total asshole.

Shackled ( Bound Series: Book Two) COMPLETED
Cassandra Ramirez never believed in love at first sight-but undeniable, all-consuming chemistry? That was a different story. Taking a job as Ian Anderson's assistant was supposed to be a fresh start, but working for the ruthless, no-nonsense billionaire was more than just a challenge. He was disciplined, demanding, and built an empire on order and control. Love, to him, was a liability-marriage nothing more than a contract, a cage he refused to be locked in. But behind closed doors? He was a temptation she couldn't afford. Cass, on the other hand, was -quirky, clumsy, and reckless enough to believe in destiny. A tarot reader once told her she was meant for "something bigger and better" (and not just in the metaphorical sense). But fate had been anything but kind. A scam gone wrong, debts she couldn't pay, and threats that left her with no choice had driven her across the ocean with nothing but quick wit and sheer determination. She swore she wouldn't fall for Ian, especially after he made it clear that what was between them was purely physical. But in his world of control, will he be willing to risk losing it all for her? And in her reckless whirlwind, will she be able to control the one thing she never has-her own heart? Determined to prove she won't wait around for a man unwilling to fight for her, Cass flirts, dates, and reminds Ian that she is no one's possession. But the more she pulls away, the harder he holds on. Because in this dangerous game of power, passion, and pride-one of them will have to surrender. And neither of them knows how.Complete
