What do you get when money rules everything around you?

An arranged marriage that nobody wants.

Keris
Life was going perfectly well for Keris Bishop. Beautiful, cultured, kind, and coming from a wealthy family, she truly had no complaints. As a curator for a very prominent and established art gallery, she's also very respected among the elites of Portal Lands.

However, that all changes when Keris' parents announced that they've lost everything and it's up to Keris to make things right. Shocked that her parents had been able to wipe out generations worth of wealth, she immediately leaves her parents to clean up their own mess. Still, when Keris is brutally reminded that her sister's expensive medical treatments are at stake, what other choice does Keris have?

Brantley
Life was going perfectly well for Brantley Kingston. Handsome, rich, driven, and coming from a powerful family, he had the world at his fingertips. As the CEO of Kingston Industries, his name, money, and intelligence made him a force to be reckoned with in Portal Lands.

However, all that changes when Brantley's father makes a deal in exchange for the one thing that no one else has ever been able to get their hands on: the girl with the diamond mines. Though he refuses to have anything to do with this father's ridiculous plan at first, when Brantley is quickly reminded that it really is a fight to the finish in the business world, what else can he do but go along with it?

When a family's legacy, money, and power all come together...
Though Brantley and Keris are doing their best to make the most of their relationship, not everyone is happy about their marriage. When the lack of trust between the two becomes too much, everything starts to go up in flames around them, and neither of them is safe from the fire.

"I can't do this ! This is wrong !" she exclaimed loudly, trying to prove her point. "Miracle, I really don't have time for this. I am sure whatever was decided was decided for good. Now quit whinning like a baby and get to work. I don't want our professional lives to be clashing with our personal lives. The rest of the discussion on this topic can be completed at home." He said in an overly calm tone that sent chills down her spine. "Kayden ! How can you even agree to this marriage ? You don't even love me and you have a girlfriend already, for heaven's sake !" Miracle continued ignoring Kayden's demand. This wasn't right ! And she was going to prove it. She was going to make Kayden understand that there is no reason to put their lives on hold just because their parents thought they were perfect for each other. She didn't even feel anything for him other than a feeling of pure friendship. Kayden's giant figure looming over her brought her out of her thoughts. "My girlfriend can be discarded, Miracle. And once again, this discussion is over. Don't ignore my words, baby. I don't like to be ignored." His cool minty breath fanning her face and the fact that he had to literally squat down to whisper to her made her stomach do a weird flip. At that very moment, Miracle realised, that there might be a teeny tiny bit of a MUTUAL ATTRACTION between them. ************************************ This is the third installment in THE ATTRACTION series. To understand more about this story I suggest you read the second installation first. So you will know more about the characters. Other than that it can stand on it's own :) ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED !

"Will you cheat on me during the time were married?" I play with my fingers as I look down at the ground. He walks over and unfolds my hands raising my chin. "Ems, were both stuck in this together.

Will he stay true to me? ££££ Emmer Lee Glyne has been worried her whole life about her marriage. She always thought 'Will I have a happily ever after?'
