He's so pretty it hurts. She was so insecure it burned. 

Loriah Jude, she's a kind, goofy and strong soul. Ever since 5 years ago, she vowed to never fall again. 

'He's perfect'. Or atleast that's what everyone says. Roman Ivanov, a self-made billionaire. He doesn't have time for people who he doesn't care about. He's never fallen for anyone, until he falls for one. 

It all happens when denial turns into obsession.

Imani's life was perfectly ordinary. She had a steady job, a cozy apartment, and a routine that brought her comfort. But everything changed the day she accidentally bumped into a mysterious man. Sylus keeps to himself and only talks to people when it's necessary. He rarely even steps outside, so how in the heck did he end up following Imani? ____________________ Sylus' eyes glowed a dark red, and he walked up to me, pushing me against the wall. "You're so damn naive, so fucking bold. You really got some nerves even saying shit to me right now." I crossed my arms staring into his heartless eyes. "what the hell you gonna do about it, since I'm such a weakling? Prove this weakling wrong you lil bitch!" Sylus wrapped his cold hand around my throat and pinned me to the wall, squeezing slightly. "My patience is running thin with you." I gasped grabbing his hand, "y-...you're a coward." I choked struggling for air. "just go ahead and kill me already." I looked into his red eyes and couldn't see anything but the heartless person he was. He smiled running his other hand down my thigh, "I'm not gonna kill you, but there are other things I can do to you instead." He groaned close by my ear. "It'll either make you scream." He whispered, separating my legs with his thigh. "Or cry," he said slowing pushing his leg up between my thighs. "Or moan." He growled, pulling me against him as his leg jolted up, hitting my sex. I bit my lip muffling a whimper, "Sylus...let me go." His grip tightened on my throat, "I don't think I want to. You've been a rude little brat. I think you can take a little more, don't you agree?" He asked pushing his knee further up. "Ok..." I whimpered. "I-...tch s-sorry."
