Against The All Odds Novels & Stories

He’s lost ground without losing face. Which means the next move won’t be force. It’ll be temptation. An offer that divides instead of attacks. Because if you can’t break a system… You convince part of it to walk away. And that test is coming. Soon.

He broke up with his fiancée for Christ's sake. No. He wasn't going to give up. Faith was his. Whoever her date was, he wouldn't lose to that guy. He was Anthony DeMarco, and he didn't like to lose. It was time to stop playing the nice guy. Faith didn't realize what he was capable of, so she thought she could leave him whenever she wanted. It was time to play dirty.

Nothing but the echo of a memory. At eighteen, these same two men had fought over the chance to have me as their partner at their coming-of-age ceremony. They had tripped over each other planting roses in my honor, hoping to win my favor. Now, their devotion belonged to someone else, and my heart had long since gone numb. I refused to watch Lisa pretend to be kind. “Don’t worry. I wouldn’t marry either of you scumbags, nor would I ever let you be associated with me,” I said coldly.

No one believed Frank could win, and the odds were stacked to an impossible height against him. And anyone who bet on him was basically suffering brain damage in their eyes!

Jared ended them after only thirty minutes. A group of guys stepped forward and Jared assessed them. Seems like they’re from the same team. He likes more challenging opponents. “Come. Don’t disappoint me.” He kept on saying provocative statements. He still kept it in mind that he has no authority in Snow Mountain, so he didn’t dare to mock their training program. He simply mocked how weak and lousy the individuals were. They were indeed better than the first two sets of opponents, but still not a match to him. He merely sustained a few scratches for allowing them to hit him. Other than that, he was unharmed.

Lara says, actually contemplating her ridiculous statement. "Do you think they were genetically modified?" Mel asks Lara. I'm beginning to feel more uncomfortable because hearing the two of them talk like this, them being nervous, is enough to make me uneasy. "Now, I'm less convinced I want to meet snobby billionaires whose super powers seems to be hotness." I tell my friends. "Trust me, they are anything but snobs. They are the nicest people we met. You will like them, promise." Lara reassures me again.

" Who are you to decide on her behalf?? Tell her your feelings, tell her your inhibitions then let her also decide. It's her life too. It should be your combined decision." " But we have nothing in common... We would not be able to adjust. " " That is utter nonsense of you to say, that you would not be able to adjust with each other as you are poles apart in nature. You both need to do just a bit of adjustment. " " But... " " Don't you know that opposites always attract each other?? Don't forget the attraction between you? It is a very driving force. " " I don't know, I don't think it is a good idea... She doesn't even like me. I think she likes someone else. I don't want to talk about thi

Simon lunged at me as well, trying to pull the bag from my hands. He pried my fingers apart, gripping so hard that I thought he might break them. "You're talented, and you'll still have a chance to go to space. Charmaine is older, and this is her only shot. Give it to her, and I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Isn't that fair?" I stared at him stubbornly. "I won't let go!" Simon's strength overwhelmed me. He yanked the bag from my grasp and threw me to the ground. My head struck the sharp corner of a desk, and the metallic tang of blood filled the air.

Eli whispered. Adrian sighed, his eyes completely showing the turmoil within. “I know, Eli. But my family… they wouldn’t understand. They’d disown me.I'm confused.Their silence is killing me.” Eli’s grip tightened slightly. “And what about us? Are we not worth the risk?” Adrian looked away, pain etched in his face. “I don’t know. It's just too much to bear.” ************************

Fuck. The heat was burning my body. Droplets of sweat went down my face. He stopped for a moment. He then pulled away from me and removed his suit and polo. Our eyes met. I bit my lip. I saw the passion and desire burning in his eyes. He was panting before he went down and started kissing my breast again. I tightened the grip of my legs on his waist and I pulled him closer to my body. My mouth parted. He was kissing gripping my mounds simultaneously. Damn. I felt my pearl wetting already. I was almost out of breath when his mouth went down to my stomach. He pulled down my dress completely. I didn’t know what happened to my dress already. Now, I was exposed, so exposed. I was only wearing my
