NOTE: The Indebted CEO was formerly titled The Debts We Don't See.
Marcus Holden had the world at his feet, until an old debt to the woman he loved-but never understood-brings him to his knees.
Marcus Holden knows only one thing: To be wanted means to be extraordinary.
Love? It's an inconvenience. And a lie.
The world runs on give and take, and to be at the top means to count every transaction-carefully.
Marcus has spent his entire life running away from mediocrity and love. But what about the debts he can't see?
To Marcus, Celeste Shaw spells threat. She nearly destroyed his future once.
When their paths cross again, he is determined to neutralize the risk before it levels his carefully crafted life.
So, he seizes momentum. He offers Celeste a job.
A job that keeps her close-and within sight.
Celeste fell for Marcus in high school. She watched from the sidelines as he chose someone else-until an impulsive kiss and a reckless lie destroyed her future.
She paid the ultimate price for loving Marcus: losing everything she ever knew.
She rebuilt her life-only for tragedy to strike again.
Now she's back, disgraced and desperate.
Her path leads her to Marcus and a chance for redemption.
A job opportunity that could fix everything-with one condition:
Succeed or lose everything...again.
Forced to work together, the ice begins to thaw.
A shocking accident forces Marcus to confront the truth he's been blind to for thirteen years.
Celeste didn't betray him.
She saved him.
Now, Marcus stands on the precipice with a shattered belief system and a debt he might never be able to repay.
He must choose:
Save the life he built.
Or Celeste-who might just be his salvation.
Some debts don't just follow you.
They demand...everything.

~Trust Me ~
"I want a divorce." And just hearing him say that my whole world that seemed to revolve around him stopped. Gathering myself I barely managed to speak in a voice that even I could not recognise. I couldn't comprehend anything going around me. "Wh..hy?" As soon as the words left my mouth he threw the file and the photographs spread across the floor. And those photographs had me in compromising positions with not one but several men. Looking at those photos I looked straight into his eyes. Disgust and hatred. The only emotions I could see. Taking a deep breath I composed myself and tried to keep my face void of the emotions I felt at that moment. Hurt and immense pain. If he didn't trust me then he has no right to see me vulnerable too. "Is this the only reason why you want to divorce me? No other except this?" It was foolish of me to ask him but I had to make sure. Also for me trust comes before love. If he doesn't trust me I don't even want to save the relationship. "Is this not enough you whore? What else can I expect from a slut and a gold digger like you! I knew it from the start that all you showed was just a facade. Your innocence, kindness, it was all fake. I just don't believe how can I be so dumb." Was I hurt? No I was broken beyond repair. My heart ached. I felt like I was seconds away from collapsing. I had far exceeded the limit of hurt and pain. I was so powerless in that moment that I couldn't even fight with him. Love makes you strong. I have heard and felt that countless times but they always forget to mention what comes after that. Love makes you weak too. I couldn't shout at him because I loved him. But I had to be brave. For myself. ************************************************** Is love enough for two people to be together or is there something more important than love? This is story of Xander and Sophie who loved each other but still couldn't be together. Because more important than love is trust. © All rights reservedTerminé

I didn't know what else to do when I couldn't reach you," she cried. "Just shut up!" Tracy snapped. "You expect me to believe that nonsense?!" Emma only wanted to survive. She never planned to fall in love with the man she was pretending to belong to. Richard saw something familiar in her smile, something comforting in her presence-without knowing that the woman in his arms was carrying a secret that could change everything. Caught between truth and feelings neither of them asked for, they must learn that love doesn't always begin perfectly... but it can still be real. #1 deceit 27/07/2018 #2 doppleganger 27/07/2018 #4 fate 27/07/2018 #1 tears 12/05/2022, 18/05/2022Terminé

Tutoring the Thorne Princess (Thorne Siblings #2) ✔
EXCERPT ----- His lips curved, faintly dangerous. "She is not my girlfriend, cara", he replied, his voice low and husky. Her eyes widened at the sudden endearment.

"I think you burn hot, principessa. But fire consumes as easily as it lights." Her breath caught. He was close now-too close, his height casting her in shadow. She could smell his expensive cologne, leather and spice. The air between them stretched, taut as a wire. Her heart hammered. "You keep warning me," she whispered. "Maybe you're afraid." His eyes darkened, jaw tightening as though fighting something inside himself. "Afraid?" he rasped. "No. Tempted... yes." --------- Clara Thorne wanted to save her faltering dream- Clara's Creations.
