I looked at him across the firelight, this man of masks and haunted brilliance. I remembered the way his hand tightened around mine when Mercedes appeared. The way he avoided her eyes even when he smiled.
"Then who are you now?" I whispered.
He didn't answer at first. Instead, he stepped closer, slowly. Not threatening-but undeniable.
"That depends," he said, voice low, "on who's asking."
Our eyes locked.
And for a moment, the fire wasn't just in the hearth-it was between us, bright and quiet and consuming.
I swallowed."Just a girl from Greece."
His gaze flickered, just for a heartbeat. "No. Not just. Never just."
"You said you bought me to tell the truth," I said, my voice calm but brittle. "I assume you intend for me to give my testimony against Fernand Morcerf. I will do it. It serves my interest as well."
He said nothing, only looked at the fire.
"But do not flatter me anymore. Do not treat me as something more than a chess piece. Because that lie-" I paused, "-is an insult to my intelligence."
His head turned slowly.
"That is not true, Haydée." His voice was low, hurt blooming behind his eyes like a bruise. "But have it your way."

The unreachable mountain
"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it. The woman on the floor does not know how much she was framed and harmed by her naivety, nor did she know that this was the beginning of her misfortunes. Because of that woman she did not stop suffering, wherever she went she suffered verbal or physical abuse and everything was orchestrated by this woman; she didn't know until she was about to faint. "Why?" She asked this unarmed woman without knowing why she hated him so much. She never did anything to hurt him. She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.Complete
HOLLOW
(Editing) (Book 1) hol·low /ˈhälō/ adjective 1. having a hole or empty space inside. My heart is hollow without him. Previews: "It's hot in here," I snap my gaze to Athanasios who was in the middle of taking his shirt off. I stared as he slowly revealed his built abs one by one. Once he finally took the shirt off, he set it on a chair in the corner of the room. "Do you like what you see?" He asks. I quickly drop my gaze to the floor in embarrassment. Oh god, he saw me staring. I heard the floor creek as he approached me. I felt his hand slip under my chin and slowly lift my head so that our eyes met. "You can look all you want. You and only you are my mate," he growls in my ear before nipping it. _____ "I always wondered what... having a mate would feel like," He says, studying our hands that held onto each other. I couldn't help but look at him. He looked so focused as his eyes travelled around. His lips were slightly parted as well. "I heard everyone talking about how great it is. It just made the wait more unbearable. Now, that it's finally here, I know that the wait is worth while," He turned his head to look at me and our eyes met.Complete
WARHAVEN
His irises swirled slowly, an enticing pale silver against his stark black lashes. They illuminated slightly, so quick it was gone in a blink. He broke our eye contact, lifting his head straight. A darkly amused expression appeared. It happened so quickly it seemed like a mask appeared. I blinked myself out of my trance, and turned on my heel to see what was at the receiving end of his humor. Augustus stood there. His face contorted into anger as he took in my ruined dress. His hands shook in his fury. "Roman." Augustus nearly snarled the name. "Have you come to join us, little King? The party was just getting started." So his name was Roman, some big secret. I rolled my eyes at the reveal as well as his taunting sentence. "Davina, what is going on here?" Augustus asked, his eyes full of betrayal. I had never seen him so guarded. I could feel his anger through my bones. His words were careful. What was he talking about? My brows furrowed at the insinuation, "What?" A line of smoke floated around my right shoulder and come between Augustus and I. How convenient. I had the desire to swipe it away but didn't. "What can I say, she...seduced me." Roman purred. His voice was a sensual whisper in my left ear. I subconsciously lifted my shoulder and backed away from it. Not only because he had lost his fucking mind, but also because it shot down my spine, caressing my skin. ** This book contains mature content.

The Royal Resistance
A spray of glass flew onto her as he broke the windows of the cabin. She heard the second ring come from the phone in her hand, the one clutched to her heart. He lunged and grabbed at her arm, locking it behind her back. The phone fell out of her grasp. "Really? This is the lock you choose," she laughed. Teeth gritted, she swung her head back to hear a sickening crunch. He was bleeding from his nose. She ran to the cabin and picked up the phone which was on its fifth ring. Somebody answered. "Hallo?" The general looked at her with fear in his eyes. "Don't." He mouthed. "I'm sorry," she said bringing the phone up to her mouth. _____ "The Royal Resistance. 1945. WWII. Evacuate to Lisbon. Over."
