Charity Ball
A long sigh left my mouth as I sat in the meeting taking notes. Everything was the same just like before, yet something prime was different.
The man sitting beside me.
I pinched between my eyes holding back the tears preparing to flow out. I promised myself I wouldn't think about him, yet here I was on the verge of breaking down. No matter what he did yet my stupid heart yearned for him.
Why did it have to be this way? Were those sweet gestures only an act? But how could someone act so bloody perfect?
Having noticed my state Christian excused everyone and pulled me into the joint room with him.
"What's wrong, Ember? I have been noticing your gloominess for a couple days now," he asked, the middle of his brows creased.
"I'm fine, Christian. Just... can I stay out for now?" So that I don't

"They killed my favorite character. Can you believe that?! He had been the one earning them the name from the beginning, and what they did? They killed him. HIM! How could they? Don't they ha- Em? Em! Are you even listening?"I snapped to attention. "Huh? Yea-Yeah! I love the pizza too.""What?" Anna watched me with a frown between her brows which soon reached her lips. "Em, where have you been lost?""Nowhere! Nowhere at all. I'm fine. I'm fine." I put up a smile."Yes, you're fine, and we're eating nuggets not pizza," she stated, her chin slightly tucked.I looked down at the chicken nugget in my hand and let out a breath through my mouth. I hadn't been me since the ball. It was as if my body was moving around without my soul which I left at a particular hallway. My brains refused to believe that questionable encounter with Hunter ever happ

I stared at the starless dark sky laying in the bed and thinking. What could have happened if I stayed there for seven hours with him? A picture of his sweaty hard muscles entangled with mine under the duvets turned up in my mind. I shut my eyes tight, shaking my head. Stop it, Ember! I opened my eyes back, and his eyes came to my mind. They say eyes never lie. I had been noticing those entrancing sea-green eyes since the beginning, and how they were changing. Where before resided only hatred now danced a thousand emotions. Was it all really not an act anymore? Had he really chang- I jumped as my phone began vibrating beside me. Drawing it to my ear I spoke, "Hello?" "Em, how ya doin' girl?" Ana's voice chimed from the other side. "Alive." There loome

Hands pinned, bodies arched, sheets tangled, and the air filled with moans and groans. Sea-green eyes gazed intensely like peeking right in the soul.Until...Obscurity took over the iris, horns grew over his head and canines sprouted into fangs. Letting out a hiss he launched towards me.Gasping I jolted upright in a sitting position looking around frantically. Thank God, that was a dre- "Aaah!" A shriek left my mouth as my eyes landed on the figure sitting on a chair in a corner of the room with one long leg resting over the other while watching me."Hunter! What the heck are you doing here?""You are up." He slowly stood up, muscles flexing under his navy blue waistcoat. "How are you feeling?"I frowned until I realized the throbbing pain shooting through my head. Groaning I held my temples. "The heck?"
Married to A Cruel Billionaire What the heart wants
My body froze, and I slowly turned around, my heart palpitating. There in his usual black suit and rigid posture stood the man I thought I had lost that day I uttered those hard words. I hated to admit it but a small part in me went ecstatic seeing him.As the astonishment wore off I clenched my teeth stepping closer to him. "Why are you here? We don't need your help.""Since the Kings Corp is solely responsible for Mr. Collins's state, all the costs will be handled by the company as amends," he replied, his tone and expression impassive, screaming only business.I opened my mouth to protest when someone clearing their throat interrupted me. I looked sideways, and an aged man stood there with a staff uniform on and a folder in his hand.He glanced at Hunter. "Sir, we need your signature in some paperwork. Please, come with me."

Stepping out of the building I marched to him stopping a couple feet away. Hunter straightened up, and the crowd parted as he strode towards me, my breathing hitching at my throat. His suit which I had been considering as his second skin all this time was gone and replaced with a V neck white shirt topped with a dark leather jacket and denim jeans."I'm glad you came." He lifted my hand to his lips and placed a kiss on the back."I hope I don't regret it," I said as lights flashed around us and people whispered but nothing bothered me for the heart drumming against my chest sounded louder.The corners of his rosy lips quirked up into a smile. Not a ghost of a smile nor an arrogant smirk but an actual genuine smile even though tiny which just made him a thousand times hotter than before. "I assure you won't. Come." He gently tugged me to his car and opened the door fo
Married to A Cruel Billionaire A familiar face, no, two!
I let out a relieved sigh, realizing my promise to Karen was finally kept, and more importantly, I was seeing my life getting back together just the way I had always dreamed. Hunter, by some miracle, changed drastically, acting all loving and caring, taking me shopping and buying loads of clothes, overlooking my protests. He even took me to a minikin ice cream date.Right now we sat outside an ice skating rink which he rented for the day just for us, and I decided to ruin his plan by inviting Liliana, Matt, Beth and Lea which he wasn't much pleased about. Therefore he sat there with a grouchy face while I enjoyed the fanciful skating session of the charming couples.Beth and Lea just skated around, hand in hand while holding Ana's hand, Matt spun her around like a pro. Then holding her from behind he lifted her and spun himself, Ana doing a perfect landing at the end with his support.

My senses began to sharpen, and whispers tingled my ears. My eyes fluttered open only to shut back from a blinding light. A groan left my mouth as my head felt heavy like it was made of concrete. I lifted my hand up but nothing happened. I tried again yet it didn't budge from behind me. What was going on? Ignoring the shooting ache in my head and body, I frantically surveyed my circumambient, my vision blurry. From the look of it, I was bound to a chair in the same room I fainted, this time a bulb above me illuminated my surroundings better. Patches of blood stains occupied the roof and the walls, and a sharp metallic stench hit my nose causing a bile to rise. I didn't even wanna think about what happened here before. Wait... "Caleb!" "E-Ember, a-are you ok?" My head whipped to the direction, at the far dark corner.

Darkness began to lighten, and once again my eyes fluttered open, sharp malign pain continued to bug my head. I scanned around, and this time I was tied in the back of a van.What the heck were those two specimens of demon doing?Startling me the doors of the van jerked open, and unintentionally I cowered back a bit as two men stood before me with Christian behind them.With a motion of his finger the men approached me and I began squirming. "Don't touch me! No! Mmngng..." A hand wrapped around my mouth and the others began untying my hands and legs. I yelped as one of them yanked me by the hair and set me on the ground outside the infernal van.I scanned the surrounding only to witness endless rows of trees until my eyes landed on the traitorous baboon, and I advanced towards him, clutching his collars in my fists. "You! How could you have d
