John D Rockefeller Quotes

The darkest corners of the world hold the secrets the leaders want you to forget. Deep inside a cabin covered with moss and shadows, those secrets are not yet forgotten. Under the moon, light glistens off of shining stones lining the porch and bundles of herbs drying from the rafters. Candlelight emanates from the interior and warmth surrounds the occupant. Inside this cabin was a forrest witch who was chanting a spell as she added herbs to a small caldron. Smoke rises and electricity fills the room. Her raven hair started to rise and the smoke turned glowing green. Leaves outside the cabin started swirling in the air raising around the cabin forming a circle. “None may find me where I reside, safe in the forrest this witch hides. Safe from the evil doers and safe from their men. None may ever find me again.” Cold. Like ice from an iceberg, his skin molded smoothly across his frame. The envelop in his hands was sealed by the Elder Lords sigil pressed into blood red wax. Slipping his long pale finger, breaking the seal, one word was inside. “Urgente.” His particular talents were once again needed.

"You will not wear that to my pool party, okay?" He was so close now, I could practically inhale his breath. "Why?" "Because I'm your brother and I say so." I scoffed involuntarily. "Yeah, right. You mean my stepbrother, whom I don't and will never accept as my stepbrother?" "Whether you like it or not, we are stuck together. And although I do not like it either," he stepped closer, his body pressed against mine and causing my heartbeat to increase erratically. "I would prefer not to add to my suffering by watching you flirt with some other guy." I swallowed, confused and conflicted. Does my stepbrother want me or not? Which is impossible, because seven years ago in high school, I was so convinced Liam Shedrach hated my existence. Why the sudden change after he found out we would be step siblings? Did anything change? Will the pretense to keep up the loving siblings appearances even last for long?

As I secured the safety rope, I discovered that the metal clip had been replaced with a flimsy plastic ring. My girlfriend, already on the soft ladder, dismissed my concern casually. "Ryan has got a ton of luggage. One clip isn't enough to keep it secure, so I gave him yours. Just wait for the next trip." In desperation, I pointed to the floodwaters surging past my chest. "But I can't swim!" "Cut the drama, okay?" she huffed. "You're a swimming champ. What's the big deal about treading water for a bit? Ryan is related to my boss, and if anything happens to him, my promotion is down the drain. Can't you be reasonable?" "Is his luggage more important than my life?" I shot back, lunging for the ladder. But she kicked me away. "I've checked. The water won't rise too fast. At worst, it'll reach your neck. You'll survive." Refusing to argue further, I watched the floodwaters rage higher and quickly pressed a special emergency beacon on my wrist.

Ayahku menganggap aku terlalu pemberontak, jadi dia menyerahkanku kepada Damian, menugaskannya untuk membentukku menjadi seorang wanita anggun. Bagi dunia luar, Damian adalah pemimpin kejam dari sebuah kerajaan mafia. Tapi bagiku, dia hanyalah pria dengan wajah yang selalu terlihat tegang. Aku mencoba segala cara untuk menentangnya. Aku merusakkan mobilnya. Lalu aku menukar berkas presentasinya dengan rekaman komedi murahan yang paling dia benci dan dia baru menyadarinya saat membuka berkas itu di rapat perusahaaan. Namun, setiap pemberontakanku selalu berakhir sama. Dia memojokkanku, tubuhnya yang besar menutupi tubuhku di atas seprai sutra ranjangnya yang besar, di meja ek yang mengilap, atau di kursi belakang mobilnya yang berlapis kulit. Hangat tubuhnya menyentuh kulitku, jarinya menyapu lekukku seperti bara yang membakar. Gerakannya dipenuhi hasrat liar yang membuatku hampir kehilangan napas. Tubuhku selalu bereaksi meski pikiranku menolak, hingga perlawanku luluh menjadi desahan, dan kehendakku remuk di bawah tindihannya yang tanpa henti. Aku jatuh cinta padanya sepenuhnya, yakin bahwa ini cinta sejati, dan dia adalah cahaya di dunia gelapku. Tapi kenyataannya menghancurkanku. Semua itu hanyalah permainan terencana untuk menaklukkanku, agar aku berhenti berperang dengan kakakku, Karina. Cahaya penunjuk jalanku padam, atau mungkin itu sebenarnya tak pernah ada. Jadi aku menjadi gadis baik dan berhenti melawan. Dia pikir dia sudah menaklukkanku, terikat pada kemauannya. Tapi pada akhirnya, aku berhasil lepas dan meninggalkannya sendiri dengan hati yang hancur.
