[The first book of the Wattpad Wish Series]
Emily Clarke had always believed in the power of imagination. Growing up in her family's grand mansion, she found spend most of her time thinking of characters she created, and writing stories. Yet, among all her creations, none captivated her more than Blake Ryder.
Blake was everything Emily desired. He was tall, dark, and irresistibly handsome, with a mysterious past and a heart of gold. As the CEO of a successful tech company, he exuded confidence and charm. In the quiet of her room, Emily poured her heart into every word, crafting Blake Ryder to perfection.
One evening, Emily sat with her best friend, Sarah, as she voiced a wish that had lingered in the depths of her heart for years. "I wish Blake Ryder were real," she whispered. "Just for a year or two, just to hold him once in my life."
There was an immediate thunder, as if nature itself had heard her plea. Emily counted the seconds between thunderclaps, a childhood ritual to calm her nerves. When the storm subsided at precisely 730 seconds, she dismissed the strange occurrence as mere coincidence.
But the next day, as Emily, Sarah, and her mother drove through their estate, they stumbled upon something extraordinar. There was a grand mansion that had never been there before. Emily's mother spoke of it as if it had always existed, mentioning that a man named Blake Ryder now resided there.
Emily's heart raced with a mix of disbelief and excitement. Had her whimsical wish somehow come true? Was it possible that the character she had created, the man she had dreamed of, now walked among the living?
Emily couldn't help but feel that her life was about to change in ways she could never have imagined. The boundaries between fiction and reality were about to blur, and in the midst of it all, a love story awaited, one that transcended the pages of her imagination and came to life in the most unexpected of ways.
"Brandon..... You're hurting me.", I hissed at him as he tightened his hold around my arm.
"I don't give a fuck!", He hissed back digging holes inside me through his gaze.
The person who stood in front of me, wasn't even a smallest, single fraction of the Brandon I loved... the Brandon who loved me.
"Now listen carefully....", he dragged me as he pushed me against a wall hurting my back still holding my arm tightly. "I'm warning you for the last time.", He hissed closing the distance between the two of us to zero.
His closeness still had an effect on my heartbeat that raced manically but little did it effect Brandon who stood digging holes into my entire body through his death glare.
"I'm warning you for the last time... Don't test my patience. Try and act smart again and I'll show you how I can ruin you, your entire family and that little business of yours and the families of hundreds of your employees. Trust me, if killing you was an option I wouldn't have waited for a single second to get rid of you... So don't get on my nerves before I decide to change my mind.", He said out loud glaring directly into my eyes.
There wasn't a small hint of sadness or sorrow but pure hatred and annoyance in his eyes as he uttered those words rendering me rather shocked.
He let go off my arm and walked out
I stood still, frozen at the thought of how can he hate me so much? My heart still flattered at his touch and here he was... He hated me to death!
