Deep Waters

Valerie Scarlette Dawson. In an ocean of life, she fought her way not to drown. 'Broken' could not even begin to describe her. Abused since a child by an uncle, she never once told a soul. Her father was a sorry excuse of a human being. Her mother was the only thing that made her kept her grounds.

Growing up she only knew one thing; to claw her way out of that miserable piece of shit called life by being strong. She had no choice.

20 years later, she is one of the most influential woman in the country. At what price, you may ask? Oh she is not the sweet, innocent little Valerie anymore. She's cold, calculated, always one step ahead of the game.

She had one rule: NEVER LET PEOPLE PERCEIVE HER AS WEAK.

But when life throws you a man like Mathias Layth, can you really deny that underneath all that icy cold exterior, there's a woman longed to be loved?
