All Chapters of The Alliance That Turned Her World : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

It was starting to get dark as I reached the doorstep of the house, right in front of it lay piles of envelopes. I knew what they were without picking it up at first, my chest started beating like it was shot with an arrow. I picked them up, entered the house and went straight into my room. I knew mom would be asleep because she's always asleep by this time so I didn't bother opening her room so as to not disturb her.I just got back from yet another failed job hunt, every time it's either they are not looking for new staff or my qualifications don't meet the requirements. What have I done to deserve this from the universe, is this how my life is meant to be. My thoughts were spiralling, I guess that's what I get for being an overthinker. I picked up one of the papers that was sitting on my bed and stared at the big red letters stamped across it. Final Notice. My chest felt heavy. If I didn’t pay soon, they would cut us off.

I was getting bored and looked at him through my side eye,with all the chaos I hadn't gotten a good look at him, from his fingers gripping the wheel tightly, going up to his arms, his veins literally bulging out making me gulp. I finally got to his face and ohh sweet Jesus I guess Mia was right when she said he looked like a Greek god.

I think he caught me staring because he cleared his throat “done staring, would you like a picture” he said with a non chalant tone.I turned my head back with a whiplash, my cheeks turning hot “I wasn't staring” I said looking anywhere else apart from him .“Hmm mmm” he hummed sarcastically He d
