Novels by Book therapist

One month had passed in the Winters estate and the weather became warmer than usual. The chirping of birds could be heard not too far away — everywhere was finally at peace. Amy sat in the living room, her eyes stuck to a book Owen bought to keep her company, because as he said, work called. He needed to fix everything and return them back to normal especially after Ash Winters death, Mr Winters death and the casualties faced when dealing with the late Ari Xavier. Paris scented like peace, and everyone probably went back to their daily routine — no curfew, no being alert. Just as Amy put down the book, the door swung open, and Owen walked in in his usual outfit, royal blue Armani, and a well dressed hair, it was in curls this time around.Amy assessed her man, he looked nervous but only she could notice it.“Pumpkin,” Owen said, coming to give her a hug.She let him give her as many kisses as possible. She deserved it.They deserved it.“How's the baby?” He asked, caressing he

AMELIA XAVIER The smell of my favourite kind of coffee filled my nose as I opened my eyes. Letting out a yawn, I stretched myself out of bed and moved downstairs to meet Owen in the kitchen making breakfast. We were moving into the Winters estate today so why was he making breakfast? As I opened my mouth to speak, he turned to face me, handing me a chocolate chip. “I saw this on YouTube, how does it taste,” he said, shoving the chocolate chip into my mouth. I bit into it and the taste brought a smile to my face.“Tastes like something made with love. I'll go wash up and come down for breakfast,” I murmured, planting a kiss on his lips and walking away. A few minutes later, we were done with breakfast and we sat by the pool playing with the water. It was warm and surprisingly calming.“I thought we were moving today?” I asked, glancing at him.Owen shrugged, the look on his face said he was contemplating on whether to avoid the question or not.“I'm doing some renovations

OWEN WINTERS A month had passed and the mourning period for my father ended, now what was left was making me the don to this house. The hall was decorated with blue roses which signified the colour of the house Winters. The chandeliers shone beautifully casting its light around the hall. I took in the sights before going upstairs to get ready. I stared at the mirror holding my tuxedo jacket, memories of the recent events flooding my head — Ash Winters was dead, father died, Ari Xavier died and my child. I seemed lost because I didn't know when Amy came in.“Lost in thoughts?” She asked and I smiled, turning to face her. I took her waist pulling her closer to me so that our noses touched.“A lot of things have happened, it's only necessary to be lost in thoughts, pumpkin,” I whispered, my tone hushed and my breath brushing her lips. She chuckled lightly. I planted a soft kiss on her lips and started to pull away but she held me tight and kissed me sliding her tongue into my mo

AMELIA XAVIER The world should've ended the day I came to Paris, because that day changed everything for me.My dream was to be like father, strong, confident and regal, but coming to Paris was something I wished to regret, but why couldn't I? Ari pressed her leg against my wrist, pointing the gun at me. She smirked as she cocked the gun ready to end my existence. I shut my eyes, life flashing before me, tears building up. Just shoot me, bastard!I cursed. Before she left the trigger, the door swung open, and someone I knew would come for me stood there, a gun in his hand.Dylan Xavier, my father.Ari Xavier left the trigger, but by then I had smacked her down so the bullet went flying across the wall. She fell with a thud and my confidence boosted. “Attack!” Ari Xavier screamed to her men as they rushed towards Dad, his men blocked the way and fought them off. Ari faced me, dried blood stained her face as sweat dripped from her chin splattering on the ground. I clenche

AMELIA XAVIER The tracker led me deep into the woods. I clutched my gun as my feet crunched dried dead leaves with every step I made. The light from the moon hardly penetrated due to the large branches, instead it gave this eerie feeling.I needed to keep going. The pathway was endless and I soon started to lose hope that maybe I wasn't going to find that bastard of a relative, Ari Xavier. I stopped to catch my breath, resting my hands on my hips. Something told me that coming here was the worst idea ever, but it wasn't enough to stop me. Thinking back to what she had done, anger boiled within me urging me to move on. A few minutes later, the tracker beeped, and I knew I was there. Not too far away — something like a walk from where I stood, a house came into view. It looked old and shady, but I didn't mind, my goals were set and achieving them was all that mattered.Walking towards the building, I cocked my gun ready to shoot, but as I cracked the door open, no one was the

AMELIA XAVIER I sat in the sitting room watching the news, cameras flashed at the dead bodies that lay scattered around the woods. The police blocked the area saying investigations were going on as the news reporters relayed the reports of so many deaths in one night. My mind drifted to last night when we marched to the woods to kill Ari's men. Father was right when he meant that Ari might not show up, but she was just a step ahead of us which made me question our so called loyal allies. Someone was probably feeding her with our plans for her to sabotage every one of them. Rage boiled within me and I angrily switched off the TV hating the sight of those bodies. I had prayed everything would end that night, but it only grew worse by the second. Owen was in hospital and wasn't allowed to leave which would delay our attack and give that moron a chance to be ahead of us. I wanted to bolt out the door, meet her and strangle her to death if I could. Then I remembered something.

AVA DUVAL Serena was meant to do the investigation. That was how the plan was supposed to go… or so I thought. Still tied to a chair, my body slumped , physically exhausted. This wasn't supposed to take this long to get over with, and although the plan was as careless as keeping a child on the edge of a stairway, I had trust in those people. Trust had always found a way to fail me. Maybe that was why when I heard the heavy footsteps approaching, my heart leapt into my mouth. In a moment, the door flung open, a gust of wind rushed in filling my lungs with cold air.I raised my head, straining my eyes to see the two large figures towering over me — two large figures with weapons. “You're up sweetheart. That's good,” Seth said, his voice ashy. The muscle beneath my eye twitched, my mind running through the plan we'd made at the basement. Was the plan a bust? I tried so hard not to look at Ethan who stood by Seth's side, tapping on his gun. My face crinkled at his words

ETHAN COLE “The plan is simple, we all just need to play our parts right,” Winnie said, her eyes scanning our faces. “Shoot,” I said, more eager to hear what she had to say. If we wasted any more time, VAR would've caught on to us, and that… no one wanted that to happen. “Ava would get kidnapped.”That one line made the room go quiet in an instant. Ava snuggled close to me, gripping my palm tight.“What the...?” She raised her brow, holding me close. My body stiffened, heat spread through my body, sending a tingling sensation down to my toes. I had to put this attraction aside… for now. I narrowed my gaze, peering into Winnie's face, searching for a clue on what she had in mind. Then it clicked, but before I could say it, she sighed. “Hear me out. To get access to Serena's base, we need to surrender you to Seth. You endure his nonsense and at the last minute, we start our raid.” No. It didn't make any sense. I wasn't putting her or anyone in danger with such ridiculous pla

AVA DUVAL An agonizing pounding slammed at the back of my head, my gaze felt unsteady and amidst the hazy dots caused by the headache, my surroundings were pitch black. I inhaled deeply, dust clogging my nostrils. A cough cracked through my throat… fuck, even breathing was so much effort. The cold feeling of the room bit into my skin, and it was evident I wasn't in the comfort of my home… or the basement. I tried standing, maybe the lights were off, but that also caused me pain. My hands were tied to a chair, and each time I tried to untangle it, the wire pierced my hand, sharp pain coursing through my body. “Shit,” I cursed, gasping for air. Where was I? The last thing I recalled was Ethan's lips on mine, hands stroking my waist… then… “Ahh…” I gasped as a tight bag was yanked from my head. Air lodged into my throat, but it wasn't fresh air. A stench so foul rushed through my lungs, instant regret washing over me. My nose wrinkled.What the hell was going on? My eyes c

ETHAN COLE We stood round the table in the basement, hoping to hold another meeting that won't end up a mess like the last time.Ava stood beside me, her fingers brushing mine sending warmth through my body. Hopefully, this meeting would go as planned. “I know we all have reasons why we want to betray VAR–” Winnie started, her gaze reaching everybody including me. “Maybe sharing that would remind us of why we're here.” No. I wasn't going to do that. I knew why I was here, and so did everybody. If that wasn't enough motivation then what was. I scoffed. “What's this? A therapy session?”Ava punched my arm, giving me a stern look. “Don't speak to her that way,” Zero hissed, glaring daggers at me. For all I knew, telling my teammates that I murdered Nina would make me feel even more terrible. Winnie knew that. She knew so much about me, the same way I did know her. Then why did she bring it up? I was more eager to finish that bastard organization than any person in this ro

AVA DUVAL He hurled me up onto the table, some files flying across the room. Without one bit of hesitation, his lips melted into mine, I leaned back using my hands to keep from falling. His large hands grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him. Close enough to feel the warmth from his body and his hot breath washing my face. His lips brushed past mine, shaky and needy. We were making the same mistake as a few nights ago, but this time, there wouldn't be any awkwardness, or regret. I let his soft cedar scent intoxicate my thoughts while he grovelled like a good boy. A soft moan escaped my lips, emotions choking my throat. His hand moved to my dress, his fingers hurriedly working with the buttons. My breast popped out as soon as the last button came open. Ease spread through my body, a gasp leaving me. “I've missed you… so much,” he said between our kisses. When we parted, we stared at each other for a while, huffing… catching our breaths. Then he dove to my neck, bitin

ETHAN COLE Those fierce eyes stared right back at me, like if she had the power to kill me, she would. She was stubborn as ever, and staying with my teammates wasn't helping matters. I stepped closer, stealing the blades from her. “Hey!” She protested. My hand gripped the center where the two blades had joined to form a two-edged sword. Ava jumped up, stretching her hand to reach the weapon, but she would have to grow three boots taller to be able to reach it. “Don't fight it, Ava,” I said, moving away from her. “I'm guessing she told you about Seth?” I asked, although that wasn't news to me. I had been watching them since they were on the computer. Talk about stalking your love interest. Ava folded her arms over her chest, giving me the nastiest glare. “Were you watching us?” She spat, obviously aggravated. And as blunt as I was, I affirmed. “I like to use the term protecting.” A crooked smile appeared on my lips while I checked out the blade. She muttered somethin
