arrogance assistant billionaire boss family heartbreak humor katherineharrington love riddianremora romance secretary

"I'm not going to kill you Ms. Harrington, and why, you ask? Well, first of all, it would be too obvious that it was me who killed you since I have all the right reasons to do so. And second of all, I have a corporation to run, a reputation to uphold and too much money to make, so I refuse to waste that all for the sake of fulfilling my only wish and ending your life. My life is too important to be spent in jail for killing you anyways."
  
 •°•°•°°•°•°•
  
  Katherine Harrington: 22 years old, financially stable, a recent university graduate, fun but assertive.  
  
  Riddian Remora: 26 years old, much better off than most financially, heir to majority of his family's business, hubristic but unsociable.
  
  Katherine and Riddian are practically from different worlds, so when they meet in the worst situation ever, it is really no surprise that the two can't stand each other. After going on a trip that was suppose to be fun and relaxing to one more than the other, the two leave hating each other and promise that they would never cross each other's paths ever again. They seem to realize that fate has different plans a little too late as they meet again when Katherine gets herself trapped in a situation that only seems to work to Riddian's advantage. She makes it her goal to either get herself out of the hole she had dug for herself, or pull the rotten bastard in as well, but it is during that process that Katherine begins to realize what exactly the after effects of her actions on the cursed trip on which they had met, were. 
  
  Obstacles come along and slowly Katherine starts to put the Riddian Remora puzzle pieces together. What dark secrets will she uncover, and will another after effect of their first meeting  be that their thoughts on each other will change as well?

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.

Bittersweet Symphony by RhydianAdhaya

So what if I'm bound to him by some promise my parents made? I can easily turn that back on them. I straightened my spine and met his gaze with determination. "I see," I replied, my voice steady. "But you best believe that I will break you. SInce you want to keep me here against my will, I'll make you regret agreeing to marry me." His eyebrows rose, clearly surprised by my response.
