An impetuous invitation
The shifting of perceptions
The redeeming quality of Grace

Grace is a very simple creature. She loves her family. She loves her family farm. She loves her job at a prestigious consulting company. She loves cooking and her friends and her faith. One thing she has a hard time enjoying is her boss. Demanding, stubborn, and brilliant, he’s good at what he does and doesn’t mind twisting arms to get his way, and he and Grace have been at each other’s throats since she started working for him three years ago. That is, until in a spontaneous fit of misplaced compassion, Grace invites him to her family farm for a Christmas Party. Then everything changes.

Justin Piece is an island. Independent, free, needing no one. His family and friends he keeps at arm’s length, and he likes it that way. The only one with access to his life is his dependable assistant, Grace. She might be a bit unconventional, but she organizes his life just the way he likes it. Then Grace goes and invites him to her provincial family Christmas party. And from then on, something gnaws at him, filing him with unease until it nearly drives him mad. Grace is from a different world. Grace has no place in his well-ordered, autonomous, sophisticated personal life. After all, he doesn’t need anything, does he? But perhaps instead of autonomous, he is hiding from his difficult past. Perhaps instead of independent, he is only trying to protect himself. And instead of worldly, he is just embittered. And to find redemption, all he needs is a little Grace.All Rights Reserved

Our Forsaken Chrimbo by MyMorallyGrey

Just like every other Chrimbo, I was forsaken unless you call that one dreadful phone call from my mother asking me to come home as a formality. +++ I live a simple independent life, where I'm the CFO of Prientice Empire, have a few amazing friends and live in a luxurious apartment. I've everything I want except for my parents love. As the CFO of the most prominent business, I spend most of my time with my boss, who doesn't know anything but work, yet I've a hots for him since the day I first saw him. And spending so much time with him doesn't help with my feelings. No matter how ignorant or rude he will become, his handsome face, the velvet voice and Greek god like body won't let me think a sour thing about him. Sometimes I even think that I'm in love with him... Anyways, back to my boring and lonely Christmas. Just like every other year, I spend my holidays in my apartment looking down at the city that never sleeps while sipping coffee or hot chocolate with marshmallows. Just like every other year my mother does tells me to come home, but she doesn't insist when I deny. I just give her what she wants and that is to leave her and her family alone, which doesn't count me. This year, I did something I never had the guts for. I, Aurora Minnette made a deal with The Christian Prientice for this Christmastide. It was almost like he made a deal with the devil but the with the female version, that is me.

If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.
