Blake Crouch Upgrade

“You don’t scare me, Llewellyn,” I lifted my chin as I spoke even though my pulse betrayed me. Cesare’s lips curved into a slow, wicked smirk as he stepped closer and spoke in a husky murmur. “That’s the problem, Rose… maybe you should be. Because I’m done pretending I don’t want you. I’ll have you—whether you let me or not.” My breath caught and anger and heat surged in my chest. “But you’ve always hated me.” His fingers brushed my jaw, tilting my face up to his. I felt my skin tingle and goosebumps rising. “Hate?” His gaze burned into mine. “Sweetheart, I’ve never hated you. I’ve only wanted you so much it felt like war.” ~~~~~~~~~ –Love was her rebellion. Betrayal became her awakening. Rosette Jenner has everything—wealth, beauty, and the Jenner name. But all she ever wanted was love untainted by power. When she trades her opulent life for a normal life with Blake, a charming man with big dreams, while also hiding her true identity, she believes she’s finally found it. Until everything shatters. Cast aside and robbed of everything she holds dear, Rosette dies broken. But fate isn’t done with her yet. Going back in time before her death, Rosette has one mission: take back everything they stole from her. And this time, as the heiress that she is. But as she walks the path of vengeance, an old nemesis returns—Cesare Llewellyn. Brilliant. Merciless. And the last man she ever wanted near her secrets. And this time, he's after her heart and she doesn't have a choice. He'll have it whether by force or not. Will she succumb after vowing not to love again?

Are you..sure? Are you sure..you don't love me anymore?? Blake asked, stuttered, his eyes red, his face haggard, his black hair disheveled. He looked no better than a beggar, his clothes wrinkled seemingly having been worn for a decade. Fate knows how to twist things, when he meets Cynthia Frost he plays the usual playboy card but, do Cynthia Frost's qualities only garner a one night stand? No, he gets addicted. And Cynthia?? Who is she? The most prominent rising supermodel, so alluring and irresistible. She doesn't believe in love. Don't let her sweet public personality deceive you. What does fate have for them when the player gets played and the guarded heart begins to crumble
