...and Cinderella wore the glass slipper, it fit perfectly. The Prince married Cinderella and together they lived happily ever after."
But in Ava's life, there isn't any glass slipper, there isn't any prince; just a handsome, amber eyed, arrogant jerk who stole her shoe.
Ava Natalia is the princess of the Maximillian family. Being the only daughter, she is overprotected by her grandfather, her parents and her three brothers. Turning eighteen means she'll get the freedom she wanted. First thing on her list - fall in love. She has dreamed of falling in love and being in love, but all that was shattered by Alejandro de Oliveira.
Alejandro is one of the most sought after, eligible bachelors and the CEO of de Oliveira Prime Holdings and a womanizer. He loves his women and always has his eyes on models and actresses. Meeting Ava for the first time, he was so turned off; all he ever wanted to do was to piss her off. To Alejandro, she wasn't the sophisticated and elegantly dressed women he usually dates. To him, Ava is just a hot tempered, feisty teenager who wasn't worthy to wear designer stiletto heels.
Ava was no princess in Alejandro's eyes; he wasn't a prince in Ava's eyes either.
'If Natalia is my wife, I'd poison her drink.' He says...
'If Alejandro is my husband, I'd drink it.' She says...
Like two magnets of the same pole, they repel each other. Will they ever see each other in a different light?

"Not a fan of exposing the body." I nibble on my burrito. "I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea." I tuck my hair behind my ear. "That you're easy." My face reddens as I look at him in the corner of my eyes. After a few moments, I nod. He sighs. "The only thing that makes a girl easy is if she lets every and any guy inside."

The Flower Longed Death
Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story if the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!
