Amirah Raine was never the type to chase danger. A quiet college girl with dreams of making it big in photography, she preferred her books, her peace, and her small circle of trust. But one reckless night changes everything. When she locks eyes with Darell "DJ" Johnson, a man who commands attention without saying a word, she doesn't realize she's stepping into a world where love is dangerous and loyalty is tested with blood. DJ is the kind of man mothers warn their daughters about-powerful, untouchable, and carrying the weight of a life built on street ties and unspoken rules. Despite every warning sign, Amirah falls. Hard. And as DJ pulls her deeper into his world, she finds herself torn between the life she planned for herself and the one she can't seem to walk away from. But love in DJ's world isn't simple. It's filled with secrets, enemies, and a past that refuses to stay buried. And when Amirah finds herself caught in the crossfire, she realizes that some love stories don't come with a fairytale ending. She thought she could handle loving a man like him. She never expected it to cost her everything.

Trapped In Love ✓ by StellaAdamsHere

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*
