Lily Jones. Secretary for Tyler Jones of Jones International. She works then she goes home. Drinks some wine, eats some dinner and then watches pointless television programmes until going to sleep, only to wake up the next morning to do it all over again. With no friends or family in the city, her social life is somewhat non-existent. That’s it. That is her life. The only thing somewhat interesting is her work. Her boss. Her gorgeous, smart, sarcastic, arse of a boss. Of course, he is just her boss and nothing more but every time she has a minute to just look at him, she can’t help but wonder what it would be like to have a life where being loved and being important to somebody is everyday life and not a fantasy. But, he is just her boss...and nothing more.
Tyler Jones. Owner of Jones International. Hard-working, smart, and very gorgeous. At high school, he was your typical player that had girls left, right and centre. None worth his time, just to make him feel good when he was down. The usual school boy who didn’t care much for anything. But when he left school, he felt that life had only just begun for him, he was now the owner of his grandfathers company and he was loving it. His popularity was quickly rising from everyone in school knowing his name to the majority of the country knowing his name. He loves what he does and he couldn’t be more happy. Or so he thought. The cute, shy, leggy brunette walked into his office for the first time and he couldn’t take his eyes of her, he had already decided he was in love with her and he was right. But nothing happened. She didn’t even acknowledge the fact that every time she walked within a close proximity of him, he would have to take deep breaths for the next 5 minutes before he could gain control of himself again. She has no idea. But she will.

Instead of him
Leena Nur was wrapping up her senior year at Leading Senior High this summer and with that, her domestic duties were also coming to their end. High school was nothing to miss for Leena. Instead, it was the bridge between childhood and adulthood. For the entirety of her life, she had been stuck there, forbidden to cross. Leena was neither young and never close to being old enough for anything. She considered it the curse of being the youngest and only daughter of a traditional East African family. As the sole daughter of her doting parents, Leena was their pride, their joy and also...their live-in maid. She was the youngest sibling of four brothers and as if being surrounded by them every living moment was not enough, her relentless neighbor, and brother's best friend made sure to loiter around to make her life worse. It was fine, she told herself, since she was determined to move out soon because of it. She knew she was close to the freedom she had been stealing tiny licks of since forever. She was graduating and that meant something so, so important. College. New Friends. And most irrevocably exciting, boys. If her father had heard that, let alone her brothers, Leena would have been locked deep inside her closet-sized room. However, she was determined they never would because by that time, she'd already be far away in America with her potential soul-mate, sipping hot cocoa and wrapped in lovely scarves she knitted. All she desired now, was to get through the rest of her high school career quieter than a mouse and receive that acceptance letter from UCLA. She could do it. Right? If she could just evade that annoying neighbor of hers.![His and Her Destined Place [Lisa And Hyungwon SHORT STORY] [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/83829195-256-k409528.jpg)

Behind Closed Doors
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family.
