"How do I trust a man who wears a mask made of lies and shadows, yet holds my heart like it's his to destroy?"
  
                           ~~~~

"Trust me? No, Evelyn. Fear me. Because the lengths I'll go to protect you will make you question who the real monster is."

"You think you can walk away from me, Evelyn?" Adrian's voice was a low, dangerous growl. "You were mine the moment you stepped into my world."

---

I was playing with fire, and Adrian Evans was the inferno ready to consume me.

"Stay away from me," I spat, even as my body betrayed me, trembling under his piercing gaze.

A slow, sinister smile curved on his lips as he moved closer, trapping me against the cold wall of his penthouse. "Or what?" he taunted, his breath hot against my ear. "What will you do, Evelyn?"

-----

Adrian's grip tightened, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Say it," he demanded. "Say you're mine."

_ _ _ _

"You are mine, Evelyn," he hissed, his eyes blazing with a mix of fury and desire. "And I'll make sure the world knows it."

CENTRAL CITY

Where power is everything and secrets are currency, Adrian Evans reigns supreme.

Billionaire. Genius. Criminal. And the man who's claimed my heart, whether I like it or not.

But when you fall for the villain, the line between love and obsession blurs, and escaping unscathed is not an option.

Because once Adrian Evans sets his sights on something - or someone - he will stop at nothing until they belong to him.

And that someone is me.All Rights Reserved

"Your problem is that your heart is too big, it leaves you vulnerable and makes you weak." He spoke in such certainty that it brought tears to my eyes, because it was the truth. I was vulnerable and delicate, I was weak and let my guard down too much. "You put your heart on your sleeve. You are oblivious to evil and peoples capabilities because you cannot imagine a person like that, you are blinded by your good nature." "What about yours?" I asked hesitantly, trying to keep the shake out of my voice. He looked at me with confusion for a second so I continued, "What about your heart?" I questioned. He looked at me with his dark eyes, his stare like stone. "I haven't got one." ******* Angela and Adriano are like fire and ice, they are complete opposites. But what happens when Angela gets thrown into Adriano's dangerous lifestyle? Can Adriano protect her from the evils he faces every day? Or does it become too much for the innocent Angela to cope with? *Warning: There maybe be strong language in some of the chapters.* #26 in Romance 10/04 #4 in Romance 19/06 #2 in Romance 28/07 #1 in Romance 03/09

❝ You will submit to me, my dear Elene. What you will not do is question my decisions. When I introduce you as my fiancé, you will kiss my cheek with a smile, when you see me across a room, you'll come and stand by my side. You'll act like the perfect woman for me, the most dutiful fiancé. Am I clear to you, la mia cara fidanzata?" "Never," I whisper. "I'll never be her." If the expression that spreads across his face is any indication, I am already in hell. "We'll see, my love. We'll see. ❞ Well, it is very simple. He wants my father's company. And I want him. Not. There is nothing about Adrian Sinclair that screams 'want' to me. Nothing about him elicits any form of longing - not his words, not the touch of his hands, and definitely not the jealous glares he shoots my way. Then, of course, there's the way his eyes seem to have a split personality, switching between smoldering with desire and blazing with anger every time we find ourselves in the same room. But then, something happens. Adrian threatens me. Me. Adelene Sparks. Well, joke's on him; I am not one to be underestimated. Not the kind of pushover who'll bend to his will. Yet with each step, I fall deeper into the secrets of our world. A world filled with hidden truths, longing, and deceit. And I can only hope he falls with me.

Unspoken Love With Mr. Billionaire by sunshineeternity

Oliver, leave me. I have to go inside", I said making a failed attempt to free myself. "What is wrong with...", and the rest of the words got lost as his lips covered mine in a hungry kiss. He held me even closer and I closed my eyes. His mouth so warm and the caress of his lips soft. He tentatively tasted with his tongue as I opened my mouth for him to explore further. Sooner the kiss turned more passionate and I led out a soft moan. I knotted my fist in his shirt from under his suit pulling him closer to me.

Release Me by anna_rose01

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

"That means you're coming with me too then." He groans, bringing a hand up to his forehead and rubbing it in exasperation. "Excuse me?" My chest puffs up indignantly. "I don't think me or this baby will be going anywhere with you." "Ever since he was born, he and the mother have been in danger." He snarls as he comes up to my face. "And now that you've found him, your life is in equal danger." I blanch. Shaking my head, I slap down my impending terror. "Your point?"
