Grab your favorite drink and curl up to a quick romance! So, get ready to follow the adventure to finding love of Monica and Noah as they venture into the world of romance together... hoping to avoid all the bumps and breaks along the way. 
---------
One night... That's all it takes for a life to change.

One dance... for that was all it took for the blood to start pumping, and desire to fill the air.

One bed... the place where the unthinkable happened, but was drowned in pleasure.

Two completely different lives, brought together by chance? Or perhaps it was fate.
_____

Monica Dellwoods was a normal woman, moving to New York with big dreams of singing and dancing on Broadway, looking to fill a life long dream of dancing on that blessed stage. With a heart on her shoulders, and a smile that seemed to be too bright to contain, she set foot into the business world of song and dance, only to be placed in a state of pause at the sight of the man in the black suit and red tie.

Noah Johnson was the business man with a plan. That plan? To place the world in the palm of his hands with his large empire of growing business and success.
But, one faithful night at the Masquerade ball, his world turned upside down by the mysterious redheaded beauty that was gliding across the floor.

With a mask that hid their identities, and the connection that seemed to cause the world to fade away, one night was all it took for him to see the world differently. Then, in the morning? She was gone.

Who was this man? And who was that mysterious beauty? Destiny seemed to want to bring them together, but fate would seem to wish to keep them apart.

Perhaps the Masquerade was something so much more than what it seemed?

"With the hand that was around her waist, I pulled her towards me and put the other hand around her neck. I kissed her passionately, as if my life depended on it. At first she was stiff and surprised but after I bit her lip, she let me in. She ran her fingers trough my hair and we fought for dominance, juicy and vigorously exploring each other. We parted with heavy sighs and I leaned my forehead against hers. With our eyes closed and our lips silent, we talked about everything that kiss meant to us. She stroked my cheek and her angelic touch made light shine through my cracks. I took her hand and we plunged into the night blue.

"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.
